With all the noise created in the altcoin section it is really hard to figure what coins are promising, especially since the vast majority are just clones.

There are some interesting ones out there but the one that seems definitely the most promising at the moment is NEM.

Main reason being:
- Impressing technical aspects: 100% innovation written from scratch with new algorithm and many very promising features.
- Most fair distribution and best beginning of any coin. The coin has not even been launched yet but there are around 3000 stakeholders waiting to get their hands on the coin and do whatever it takes to get this to the next level.
- Brilliant dev team and great community. The dev team is putting a lot of hard work into every step of the development process and the results are already visible. The community is rapidly growing and is full of talent waiting to contribute to this interesting experiment.
- There will be no inflation for this coin since all the coins will be distributed at the beginning. So as the new features are unveiled and the coin gets more traction because of all the value it creates, price will probably skyrocket.

This is no get rich quick scheme or pump and dump coin. This is an interesting and long term project with an immense potential to become very big.

But don't trust me for my word, do your own research, make your own choice and see you in the NEM community.


P.S. Seems the price for a stake will maybe be somewhere north of 5 btc/stake right after the launch. As more people become aware of this New Economy Movement and its great potential you can guess what will happen.

Update: I will add that this coin will probably be competing hard with Nxt(which is very interesting and promising as well) but will have the enormous advantage of a fair and well organized distribution which could prove instrumental.

How and where can I buy some NEM?

Things to improve NXT:

• Better distribution. ✓
• Easy-to-setup client on launch. ✓
• Forging mechanism which doesn't promote hoarding. ✓
• Active stakeholder community. ✓

I'd like to participate this project. I'm an old member on bitcointalk forum. I can provide some service. Please take a full consideration.
Thank you.

I just posted in the waiting list thread.

NEMStarter?

Hey guys,

i have an idea, i am unsure if it would be able to realize, but what if:

The devs reserve some NEM (lets say 100 stakes?) for a foundation (for sure the community needs to agree). Charitable/planet saving/animal saving/human rights etc. organisations can make a request to this foundation, describing their current project and request some NEM from the fund.The NEM community (every stakeholder or so) can vote whether to approve the money for the project or not.This would support organisations and projects around the world.

In case of urgend events like catastrophes the foundation can give proactively some NEM to helping organisations. I guess this could give us some positive media attraction and we can do something good in the real world. Maybe no organisaton will request NEM in the beginning, but if NEMs value rises it can be helpful for both, NEM and the good projects.

The "NEM foundation" could be something like "the first decentralized voted sponsor and approver for charitable projects..."

What do you think?

It depends on a couple of factors and I think the details e.g. balance between factors aren't 1000% worked out yet.

The amount of NEM you own will still be a factor. Also it will be a factor how much you actually use NEM. If you buy 100000 NEM but never make a single transaction your not going to get very far in terms of forging. It will also depend on what kind of node you are running. If you are running a client node you're not as important to the network as if you're running a server node which holds the entire blockchain.

Hi Vladimircook,

Nem is a pointless clone currency.  It offers no features that Nxt does not already possess.  A significant amount of funds have been taken from individuals and they are going to get nothing for it.  That is unethical.
