From yesterday till now 5 pages were filled with mostly NEM cap discussion.

I think trustless mixing of BTC using XC's tech could be pretty awesome though too!!

Due to a recently-discovered flaw in the TLS and SSL protocols, you may want to change your password, especially if you accessed the forum using Tor.

Please just do it. But also don't forget that new password.
Don't make me have to deal with more stolen accounts cuz I'm tired. So tired.

Yes, instead of being spied on by the NSA it would probably make a nice change to be spied on by the Chinese instead. Tbh, you're probably less likely to be doing anything that they are interested in anyway.

yup as long as its actual news that people might want to know and not straight up pumping. Lol

ya true.. Could be more I guess. I'm sure if or when he leaves he will hand over many of his ideas and as much knowledge as possible. There are plenty of other very capable devs working on nxt...

Do you really think Chinese don't know about Vpn's? Cmon guys...
About hacked, stolen & lost accounts, really this is getting boring...i start to think this is just some bs to get some free stakes.
Anyway if You lost your account it's your fault. Devs should focus on more important stuff!

Devs are working and pretty fast. If they are a team of only 2 they are working faster than other teams.. i dont want to say which ones because i dont think it will help to grow NODE to spread fud on other coins like some people here does. Anyway guys.. with your fud i dont think u can make more people panic sell.. Holders now are kind of old users.. you can't fool them with so cheap negative arguments. More considering they already gave an eta and is known list of bounties will be published soon.

Anyway i have to thank trolls because I think is good this happens because NODE get rid of weak hands at really low prices. Or do u think that nxt would have grown so big if it was held by 1000 users (many newbies and desperate for 50 dolars) and not 21?

As huge as MaidSafe?

@void

If you knew there was a 1000 dollars sitting waiting for you would you not invest 5 dollars to set up a vpn to get past the fire wall or pay an it guy to do it for you or find a way somehow?

holding the coins indefinitely is madness in my mind.. anyone who takes more than a month to claim ether doesnt care about nem in the slightest or hasnt bothered their ass to find away around any blocks that might be in place stopping them from claiming. now if these people who dont care find out months down the line that they can claim their nem as its worth say 5 thousand.. the first thing they will do is claim and then dump it asap. if they dont care about it enough to claim it why would they hold it once they do claim it? so these people are of zero benefit to nem. now lets think if these coins are distributed to people who do care, they will benefit nem, if they are used to help nem progress by investing the money in development or marketing that will benefit nem hugely.

not only that but if say 400-500 stakes are held in limbo then that will be knocked off the market cap because of CMC's new rules. not only that but there will be claims that the devs are keeping them for themselves instead of distributing them. then there is also the risk that the coins being held in one massive account get lost for what ever reason and then the devs would be accused of stealing them and there is no coming back from that. then there will also be fears that if the devs hold that many, they could get bored with nem and decide to just dump all the coins and run with the money, i dont believe that will happen but thats where fud comes from.

there are far more downsides to holding all the unclaimed indefinitely than there are pro's. i would agree to hold say, 50 stakes for 6 months so 50 people have the opportunity to claim with in 6 months on a first come first serve basis but any more than that would be stupid.

putting the coins to use in various ways like funding development, mass marketing like no crypto has ever seen, bounties galore that sort of thing will turn nem into a serious challenger to bitcoin. we have to throw everything we have at this and we only get one chance to do it right and imo holding hundreds of stakes in an idle account for months or years is probably up there with the worst of things we could do with the coins and probably the riskiest of routes to take also.

imagine what nem would be worth if we pumped out business rules, asset exchange, voting system, a digital market place(a far better one than nxt) and all the other major core features in 6 months which i think could be done if more devs were to come on board on top of the 5, super devs, we already have. now imagine if we could release a killer mobile app on top of that in a couple of months, fund all sorts of business that pop up around nem in order to thrust nem into astronomical growth over a 12 month period the likes no crypto has seen before, fund a full time marketing team to spread the word, do all sorts of things to spread nem to the masses like a stellar style give away? the possibilities are endless but we have to take the bull by the horns as rockethead says.

being nice(holding peoples stakes indefinitely) gets people no where in life or in business. in business, which is what this is, you have to be ruthless and do what you have to succeed.

again, we have one good shot at this, so are we going to be nice to those who dont benefit nem and are not bothered about nem, or are we going forget about that/those that do not matter to run head first with what we have and throw everything we got at this and in order to succeed?

Naysayer. He had time enough and he will risk his reputation then as well, as any of the stakeholders can get the coins at any time...

And who knows if NEM really became massive then it would be great publicity some guy remembering he had a stake years later and becomes a millionaire.

The source of the issue might be some Chinese users who are unable to use Bitcointalk as it's been blocked in China. In fact it's very likely considering the numbers of a Chinese that use this forum.

The devs are hardcore Java/Javascript. The have perused NXT because that is one of the coins we would like to integrate with depending on the community view.
We are also going to have libraries available so that other coins can integrate our coin.

We have integrated Localization, Gradle, Continuous Integration (http://jenkins-ci.org/) with a very modular approach so that multiple developers can work on the base with little to no refactoring like some other projects. The architecture was my main focus for the app.

I´m in holiday until end of octobre without smartphone and internet and i hope the distribution of NEM Stake is not in this time.

Have fun people , i pay my trip with Nxt
