Yup, truth be told if this were any other newly released crypto, odds are it would be doing substantially worse - this is because the entire crypto world is in a massive slump. The hype has passed and only a select minority are really doing the heavy trading.

NEM needs to break new ground in terms of marketing if it wants to turn some heads. Else some other coin is inevitably going to do it.

NEM's already had a great start, may as well run with that momentum to greater heights.

I'm also prepared to donate to legitimate, trustworthy causes to help a NEM marketplace flourish.

This is ultimately the problem at BTT -- most people are either busy scamming, fudding or otherwise out for singular gains.

Installed, ran, synced, and node up. Absolutely no problems at all.


Awesome stuff guys. You have my thanks!

Servers - ready to go.

Just need that new client and i'm ready to party with some nodes.

Best of luck to all involved - and many thanks to the devs. Eager to see this one fly to great heights.


Speaking of the client, any place i should be watching for immediate access to the full release? I assume NEM.IO right?

This is precisely my point (post above yours). Misinformation is easily spread through quotes on forums and this is exactly how malicious keyloggers and such would get spread. People need to be mindful of this.

With this in mind i'd like to spread some awareness:

This would be the prime time scammers and dishonest people would likely start flooding nem threads with bogus links to the "client" in order to steal your private wallet details.

Remember to double check the authenticity of any links before you commit to clicking them. Avoid clicking links from quotes and suchlike as quotes are so easily altered.

NEM's unique algorithm will encourage trade too, and in the initial phases this will be crucial in establishing a foundation in which to build upon. For Bitcoin, it was "mining" which largely appealed to the growing number of tech-minded people, this widened the number of people who held bitcoin and in turn, helped to grow a trading hub for goods and services (IE: Dark web).

If NEM is going to grow, people are going to have to look far further then crypto exchanges.

Looking forward to it.

Looking forward to it

I can live with these, seeing as they honor the previous logo vote and don't deviate too much from the original logo.



This one is also good, but the fact that it's so radically different puts me off - because for me, it disregards the legitimacy of the last vote. Now if they changed that red triangle to the more traditional NEM logo with the NEM colours, that i could certainly live with

Like this:



(You could alternatively remove the orange triangle entirely.)

And yes, a massive no from me for any bird logo. That is territory already taken and with plenty of political/negative connotations associated with it.

Out of the new logo's i saw, the only ones that simply made sense were the ones that took the original logo and improved upon it.

It seems to me going down a whole new route and creating something entirely new just sorta poops in the face of the previous votes. For me, it's a huge no-no to the bird logo's.

Considering the performance of even the most shittest of shitcoins (And there's alot), i think NEM will have nothing to worry about. Not by a long shot.

Pointless?

I wouldn't go that far. When the topic of a new logo appeared, i immediately thought "Nope" and voted against it. This was before we saw any of these excellent new designs.

I take the stance that anything on the subject of NEM isn't pointless. It's good to have these discussions because it's part of being a community, and controversy is going to come with that package -- way of the world.

Calling it "pointless" just encourages this misconception that it's simply wasting time, time that others would say should be "Focusing on release". If by "focusing on release" we see no discussions, and people simply twiddling their thumbs until that date, we're not really succeeding at communicating and sharing idea's like a decent community would.

And, as I and Kody have said, these discussions, whether they be about the NEM logo or what pizza toppings their first NEM bought pizza will have, will not have any interference with the team working on the coin -- i think people need to get this out of their head.

What this guy is saying (Assuming your translation is correct) is again, discussion or votes on the subject of the logo is going to interfere with NEM's development. To reiterate what i said:

No, it won't.


Last time i checked, the dev team is just that, a team, a team of whome have roles to play. Those coding are doing precisely that - coding. They're not here fufilling PR roles (at least not to any massive extent) other people on the team do this for them. There is no harm in discussing and voting. It's part of being a community. Clearly this is not going to hinder the development of NEM.

As someone else said previously; NEM needs to have a professional logo so that it can be marketed right. The technology can only go so far, because average joe cannot comprehend what it can do FOR THEM. Let the marketing speak on behalf of the tech, then the tech will speak on behalf of the crypto.

 People are not as savvy as those within the crypto circles, which, in comparison to most markets, is quite a small one dominated by a few big players -- something I hope to see NEM rectify with it's unique distribution. Common opinion of those in the crypto world need to change mentality pretty sharpish, because it's exactly this that holds it back from more widespread adoption.

What i see here is typical impatience from those in cryptoworld because many of them are just eager to jump on these limited markets, attempt to manipulate, then cash out some profits. NEM has made enough progress to show some hope it's not going to go down this road. May as well make the efforts to get the logo right, too.

I'd also like to state that i also voted "No" in changing the logo, up until i saw these professionally rendered alternatives. Now my hearts changed.

I feel discussions are not going to get very far - people (understandably so) feel strongly about not changing the logo, yet now these new designs have come to light i see no reason not to reconsider a logo change, especially as others do express a liking to these new ones.

I think for the sake of honoring the previous vote/discussion, the current nem logo should be included in any vote that also includes these new (and improved -imo) ones.

One thing i don't understand is why people feel this in any way hinders or postpones the development of NEM - the devs are working on the platform regardless, and if the logo did change, it's not exactly an ordeal to edit the logo in the client. Better now than later that's for sure.

There is no harm in discussing -- or even voting -- for a logo, it's just unfortunate that some people can't do so in a civil manner because of their preconceived notions that this is somehow interfering with dev's work. Lol.

I shared this sentiment up until i saw these new ones. They are all very good.

The vote will be interesting - if nem changed it's logo to one of the ones in the vote, i'd have no problem with it.

The more FUDsters and trolls on the scene, the more it's apparent that NEM is the real deal.

Cloud, silver lining .

exchanges, the surefire way to damage crypto's reputation.

Glad i got my node a week or so before this happened

I lol'ed.
