Although i agree, the thing is it's precisely their attitude thats causing so many problems in the crypto world - i think they're going to have to make more of an effort to utilize such new tools if they want to keep their reputation (and crypto's) intact. There's really no excuse.

They've been given the means, they should set their priorities straight and take that opportunity even if it does require a bit more effort. The consequences significantly outweigh it.

Nailed it. Once you shift through the smoke and mirrors (fud and nonsense), this is really all thats important. In a world thats dominated by day-traders and pump and dumpers, i can't say i'm surprised that so many lack the patience needed to make a unique crypto.

In the meantime, people should be supporting by running the beta.

What i do find rather funny is that all this extra work and effort the devs pour into NEM is precisely what gives it value. In the long haul, the users in this new ecosystem benefit, but sadly so many are caught up in immediate gratification in the short term at the expense of long term -- this is in contrast to why I invested in NEM.

I'm tired of seeing clones and alt currencies based on PoW formula, it's become stagnant and it's why so many people exploit alts. No innovation, nothing groundbreaking and no progress, only people who manipulate those markets to concentrate wealth into the hands of a few (whales), leaving bagholders with nothing of value. NEM's distribution will really help combat this.

I "invested" into nem under the assumption that what i put in i may lose. This is how it goes in crypto. The Alpha/Beta has shown this is developing into a real, serious project, with more yet to come. I'm quite happy to wait as long as it takes because i know this is, as previously stated, a Sleeping Giant.

I think it's well established that NEM is not your typical altcoin - and yeah, I know this is an extremely cliched thing to say as most say it about alts, but the proof is in the pudding with the functional beta client.

Give me the word and i'm ready to support nem as much as i can. Gunna get me some banana's and servers set up to help support the network on release.

This is why you're ignored (And btw, cheers for confirming my last post). It's glaringly obvious the people who pressure for a release with insults and condescending remarks want to do precisely this. Wouldn't surprise me at all if you're a professional troll who uses FUD to manipulate markets for their own gains. Hopping from one coin to the next with no real dedication to any project whatsoever.

In response for your last message though:


 NEM does have value already - it's called NEMstake. Else you wouldn't be here, correct?

If you wanna go play the markets, go dump your stake. Someone more commited might just buy it off you . I'm sorry; but some people see right through you.

Anyway's, i'm done being troll bait

I wouldn't use the word troll(s) loosely. No doubt it's a tiny minority of people (or person) using multiple accounts to create FUD. Sorta the norm on BTT which is why nem has it's own forums to play with -- in many respects it just goes to show how manipulators are ruining crypto and what it stands for.

Besides, given the recent downtime of BTT, creating your own forum is sorta a given with any even remotely serious crypto.

At any rate, the features the devs are building into NEM will by default give it value, regardless of what fud and trolls say. Best to ignore them so they look the fools once NEM hits full release.

Those who are hodling should be running a node anyway, it's in their interest to help support the network.

I know i'll be running my fair share of nodes once NEM releases.



I think it's also important to bare in mind that it's going to be much more difficult for whales to manipulate the NEM ecosystem, primarily because of it's wide distribution to alot of stakeholders. NEM is going to be more resistant to whales/wealth centralization then any other crypto as far as i can see.


Quick browse of his post history and it's clear to see he doesn't contribute much to any thread he ever posts in.

There was a short period where people could trade their claim of Nemstake into a NXT NEMstake asset, allowing them to freely sell the asset if they so choose (Or buy more). NXT asset holders had to then send the asset to a specific NXT account in order to "redeem" it for real NEM coins on release - this transaction included a message of the REAL nem address to send the real coins to (The real address is generated in the NEM client).

Those who didn't convert it to an asset on NXT simply just kept the claim tied to their Bitcointalk account - meaning they had to redeem it differently (as Kodtycoon explained)

Last i checked, it does exist - in alpha, then in beta. Progress is being made. The proof is in the beta. and PoI is pretty groundbreaking, seeing as no other crypto uses it.

It's understandable legitimately interested and eager participants/Stakeholders feel this way, but ya'll really should make your way to the NEM forums and Telegram chats. Following discussions there will help calm your concerns. I'm in the same position as you and participating in the discussions really helps.

After everything i've followed, i think the future of NEM will be pretty exciting.



Alot of buyers into BTC are speculative buyers - so i knew BTC would bounce back. With the recent news of the "licensed" bitcoin exchange, it was inevitable . I think it would take something extremely big to turn Bitcoin into dust - a flaw in the code, or a successor crypto.

Many people think though that Bitcoin itself may not have a future, but the blockchain technology will - so there's no reason why innovative, groundbreaking projects like NEM can't get some serious momentum.

Never been a fan of altcoins either as the majority were by design for pump and dumps - Doge was a prime example of that and it was just very well marketed/manipulated (Google "Doge God.pdf" and you'll see what i mean) Only currencies that interested me were ones running their own algorithm or otherwise bought value to the table with some unique features.

NEM fits that bill rather well, seeing as it got plenty of initial stakeholders - most being from the veteran member rank here on BTT. I think that speaks for itself.

There's actually a fair amount in the pipeline. If you followed the forums and telegram chat, you'd probably be aware of this.

Thanks for the update. Good to hear things are at least progressing.

The beauty is anyone selling isn't going to effect price as drastically as most crypto's. Thanks to it's unique distribution

Frankly i'd be really surprised if we didn't.

How have they sold their nem when it's not released yet?

You must mean nemstake, in which case, isn't it obvious most people have redeemed their stakes and await the full release? Nemstake see's less trading because there's simply less Nemstake to trade.

Besides, its clear to see for anyone who's following this project that the activity is at the NEM forums as well as on Telegram chats.

If it's a clone coin, then naturally it did beat NEM. NEM, thankfully, isn't a clone.

Time to swallow the reality pill guys. This guy has gone. Ran to the hills.

Blows my mind people cling to false hope when the release is many months overdue & there is no communication from the devs. It's over.

Cheers for the update. Tis much appreciated.

Functional Beta client, successful distribution with quite elaborate and clever taint analysis, work being done on multisig functionality plus many other projects and idea's in the pipeline.

I think it's safe to say this is not a scam .


Perfectionism to an extent is actually pretty important. Unless NEM is rock solid, it won't be an effective currency/platform/economy, it will crash and it will burn.

With this in mind, i'd sooner they take their time developing NEM then rushing it out and seeing it collapse just because a few individuals wanted to cash out/cash in FIAT. Where all their hard work thus far would've gone to waste - this would be really devastating to see, not only because they've worked hard on it, but because NEM does hold great promise.

It's done when it's done. I think all the NEM devs need to do is just keep people informed of progress (Newsletters are very much appreciated by me, let me tell you), there's no need for solid dates untill they can be absolutely certain a solid date can be maintained.
