Hi everyone, new NEMber here
![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)
I've taken a great interest in this coin and invested a decent chunk of money into it last month. I think it has a great potential especially with the upcoming Catapult release.
That being said, I couldn't find anywhere the approx. release date. I presume it would be released in the second half of 2017?
I also agree with a few people here that NEM should do a better job with promoting their coin. I believe it to be superior than other "successful" projects yet it is rarely talked about.
Looking at Dash, they are doing a great job on this front. Dash is all over Youtube and it recently more than tripled in value even though people were calling it a pump & dump.
Almost all popular altcoins grew 10%+ right after ETF but NEM just stayed the same as last week, it just shows people don't ever hear about it.
I really hope that will change with the release of Catapult and that it will be properly marketed like it deserves.
Just to add this last thing. They could also do a better job with the website, it doesn't really show any of the features unless you click on them and you're greeted with a wall of text. And a lot of technical language is used that new members might not understand. It wouldn't hurt to put those tx/s testing numbers being compared to other cryptos or something along those lines that show superior performance. Something new members can easily read and understand.
