Whats up with all these rumors going round that alot of darknet markets will be switching to monero?
I believe some are already using DASH...

yes but is it 100% safe? are you certain to get your btc back? Serious question supernode is guaranteed return.
Of course its safe, your XEM always remain in your account at all times i'm talking about BTC lending in poloniex mate. Sorry, thought you were talking about running a supernode. I would not risk any money in margin lending if it was me.

Monero or Vcash if I had to guess.
No idea wtf NEM is though, will have to look into it
Im honestly surprised how few know anything about nem. Its well worth following. Why? And what about bitcoin? With all these alt coin action I feel like a btc bagholder now Im concerned about the direction bitcoin is heading, devs dont seem to be overly active or wanting to improve it, fix problems etc. They still have not fixed the blocksize problem yet for example and confirmations are taking ages now i find.

yes i agree day traders are moving their funds around, DASH has had their pump, now its Monero's turn etc. Things all go round in circles sometimes, but Im here for the long run

Monero is enjoying a surge based on the good news trifecta of - DNM Oasis implementing XMR "soon" - RingCT reaching privacy Holy Grail - Official GUI very very very "soon" - Great Success at StackExchange Meanwhile, Dash can't even come close to achieving StackEx listing, and its price is floundering after yet another Otoh-based pump and dump. Dash had its recent pump because of a mobile phone app, will be interesting to see where it settles.

NEM devs deliver

The thing about Ethereum is the extreme hype and marketing. Nem has a better technology than Bitcoin, but that won't overcome the Bitcoin brand.
What NEM needs is more community. I hear about things going on in the Far East, but this is the prime thread in the English speaking world and there are often several hours between posts. The nem.io forum might manage one or two new threads a day with the wind behind it and the reddit sub has less than 200 subscribers. There are total junk coins with way, way more conversation swirling around them. It doesn't need pumps. It needs more interest. It must have attracted plenty of passing interest by now but it's still not sticking and I'm not sure why. Well hopefully things will change, I do know that alot is happening in Japan and parts of Asia, but i have no idea whats being said on alot of the pages without translating them properly. I think its only a matter of time before things pick up in western countries, but with a legal organization established, this should hopefully direct more funds towards marketing and hopefully see more events and seminars held at different locations.

I always felt like ETH marketcap was so big because of banks and fin institutions bought in and probably brought price up as marketing strategy to ensure that their bet will dinstinct from rest of alts. As BigSirko said, ETH is not user friendly and is not adopted by anyone really. The only solution to big cap is that it was manipulated by likes of Goldman sachs. Do you guys think that ETH marketcap is made of genuine interest of public?
Agreed... there was some VC money swirling around in there. Smoke filled rooms with backroom handshakes, no doubt. The crypto investors mostly bought in during the Fomo period. Most ico buyers were busy dumping at one dollar, not buying from my observations and conversations. The market cap was a knee jerk to some sort of stimulus from interested investors that probably got sold on it. The Ethereum folks certainly are not rivaled in the evangelism and social networking category. Even with the current market cap, can anyone think of one single "killer" app that required smart contracts? The DAO was a bust, Augur might be good, but who knows. Bottom line, that 1 billion is speculation, not practical application valuation imho. I agree, and also partially because a big amount was raised with the ICO...

None of these coins are getting higher because of some "mobile" element, the defining moment that can be said is when a coin has achieved mass adoption.
Otherwise it's just devs and the same people who bought into the coin pumping it up.
Mobile app is good marketing and, a well-designed one, should ease the learning curve for new users. http://prefundia.com/blog/getting-to-100000-users-paypals-60m-referral-program-that-nobody-knows-about/PayPal spent $60 million on their referral program. User adoption is expensive and, with exception of flukes like Tumbler and Facebook, many companies had to spend $10s of millions to get their users. From this, you can see why crypto has struggled with mass adoption. Bitcoin foundation barely has any money and Ethereum itself only raised like $20 million and promptly spent it all. To get all the Joes and Janes on board, you probably have to spend $50+ million on just marketing / advertisement and wisely at that. I think NEM will be the first crypto project to have a world class marketing budget. There's 2 marketing funds added up to 450,000,000 XEM. Developers / non-profit has to wait until $1,350,000,000 marketcap or $0.15 XEM and then they'll have like $67 million to utilize. $67 million could fund a few 30-second TV ads, probably do a ton of YouTube and social media ads, product placements, interviews on popular talk radio, et cetera. To think Ethereum has already hit that marketcap but they were too amateur, inexperienced and lacked pre-launch foresight to think about long-term marketing & advertisement. Thanks for a nice post. Remember that if Ethereum can gain 1 billion marketcap with a completley non user friendly command line wallet then we can do well with what we have!

Dash made a massive gain when their android wallet was released a few days ago. I suspect the nem mobile wallet will do the same.
I thought their recent pump was because of their "Dash n Go" payment system, but it seems no one really knows lol

Do most people here keep they dash in master nodes? Or other investments?
Mostly in Masternodes, there is over 4000 masternodes and increasing, that means there is at least 4 million DASH tied up in the masternodes. That leaves around 2.6 million DASH that people are holding in their wallets.

Any news what causes the current price comeback? Could not follow every activity about the project over the last two weeks. Further, are there any rumors when the mobile wallet will come out? finally XEM is coming back to its place, got more at 900sats and so far so good.
I expect it wont be far away, its currently being tested as far as im aware. Expect a ninja release!

Java NEM was warming up, C++ is the real deal? I hope that with the Catapult will be lower requirements for the hardware. Will XEM rewrite with C++ language? Yes. Catapult will be on C++ No wonder the price is booming, happy. Very bright coin, top 10 coin. One of the most promising coin. Actually its more than just that. Catapult will allow connection between the mijin chain and NEM chain, correct me if im wrong

This project needs more devs to take on Evan

XEM is getting hit hard right now, crypto is all about surprises.
Day traders moving funds to DASH and Qibuck to ride their pumps i expect. We're in the middle ground now where XEM is firmly on the pumper radar but they don't know or care what it is. It needs to get beyond that and imprint some knowledge of what it truly is on more people. Then it takes off properly. Only a matter of time before this happens. I just wish all the shitcoins would go away, too many day traders speculating on them and pumping them up.
