Haha, time to order a trezor it seems :-)

Guys, does anyone know why I have a dash icon on my profile?

Is that my punishment for being inactive on this forum ?  ( just kidding eh ;-)  )

I suggest you take a thorough look at NEM white paper before making such claims. NEM is full of security features that don't exist in BTC. Especially the node reputation system and time synchronisation feature are things that truly matter when talking about security. Also look at PoI consensus while you're at it.

I'm far from worried about a 51% attack due to node reputation system and PoI, but feel free to describe a viable attack scenario if you have another opinion.

Most of the claims that are made when comparing security of alts against BTC is based on feelings. I personally stepped away from the subjective analysis and studied the available documentation, which made me come to the conclusion that NEM is probably one of the most secure ( if not the most secure) chain(s) in existence.

Until someone comes up with solid evidence to refute this I'd say it's all FUD!

Both Factom and Apostille probably have their pro's and cons , but I wonder if any of you have really looked at NEM and Apostille white papers before writing it off as inferior to what Factom has to offer. 

By the way XMR's anonymity might be something that is highly appreciated in the crypto community but has little added value for real world applications IMO and about ETH smart contract feature; we've all noticed how superior that has been recently 

I rearranged your post a little to analyze it. Can you clarify your argument as to why NEM isn't as secure as BTC and which alts you consider superior to BTC?

Great work guys! This once more proves the utility of the NEM chain and dedication and quality of the NEM team 

Why wouldn't it be possible now. You could make some adaptions to lightwallet to have it display/transact only a specific mosaic.
The only thing is that you would still need XEM to pay for transaction fees. However, there are certainly some creative solutions to that.

Although I agree with what you say in the post above, I must say that I don't agree with you in general. (leverage is evil and I'd advise anyone to be cautious after sudden changes in price)
The thing here, is that you assume everyone is only interested in getting more BTC from trading altcoins. If you knew the NEM community you would take into consideration that we are actually only interested in long term gains.

Therefore my risk management is :

Keeping my XEM in my wallets and hold them there untill I can really start using them in stead of dumping on exchange for bargain prices :-)

Let's be fair here , you are promoting day trading while you seem to be insensitive for the fact that lots of people are not interested in those practices.

Do you know how many people we've seen here that thought that they were selling during a high with the expectation to buy when XEM was on a retrace (or whatever daytraders call it) ?
Lot's of people have burned their hands while trying to achieve some additional gains. It may very well be that you are a master trader that has a system to prevent you from missing out on these spikes but there are some facts that you are missing here.

First of all, the reason why so little people have been paying attention to NEM is because we have never been interested in hyping NEM to traders. Nothing good will come from that in the long run anyway.
Getting attention from people that are in it for the long run and are actually interested in NEM's technology is the only thing that counts.
So although we may have gotten some daytrader attention now, I'm sure some new long term hodlers have discovered NEM in the last couple of weeks.
Ever wondered why so little people are dumping after a surge like that
Second thing. Lots of developments are going on behind the scenes.

Do you have any trading system/indicator that can predict the impact of the above mentioned things?


I may be wrong in not taking a profit here and there after a huge spike but at least I don't have to worry missing the train when it's leaving for the next station.


The reason I'm replying to your posts is mainly because I don't want newbie investors to listen too much to all that daytrading wisdom. It will only harm them in the long run IMO. As long as it's not daytrading that dictates the price of XEM your analysis will only get you this far, but may just as well force other people to make bad decisions for themself in the long run.


My advice to anyone interested in NEM:

1. Take your time to research what this NEM thing is all about
2. If you want to be a day trader , feel free to do so but don't forget lots of people are only losing money on it.
3. If you chose not to become a daytrader then don't let sudden price fluctuations affect your mood, don't panic sell and don't FOMO buy!
4. Enjoy the ride! Everything in life has its ups and downs. And it's the downs that separate the boys from the men (or girls from the women if you like   )

Thanks for that!

For the newcomers, consider that a lesson for the future. Remember history repeats itself

NEM coded 200% from scratch ! 

Great find solix!
That report contains a lot of subjective wisdom 

Untill I read your last two sentences, I was like : That much wisdom from a newbie account 
I totally agree with you that people do no research whatsoever when investing. It's just a crapshoot hoping to get in on that get rich quick project that may never come.
On the other hand , what is it that makes you believe that smart contracts is the game changer?
There's nothing smart about smart contracts, it's just about verifying a certain set of rules. The issue is that in order to verify something you most certainly need an external source of information which will likely cause centralisation anyway. 

This ICO and DAO hype is vaporware and shitcoin 2.0 all over again. Anyone with some knowledge of  blockchain can draft a new revolutionary platform while in the end it'll be just as different from the existing platforms as those 500+ shitcoins are different from bitcoin.

My advise to anyone: Before investing in anything, compare these offerings to what happens in the business world. Companies that get +1 M$ in their series A round have a way better risk/reward ratio than anything you'll find in crypto. 

Those that are around long enough have seen this all before, some dev promising the

To me personally all this vaporware is the main reason why blockchain is not getting it's break through as expected through public chains but will need the legacy companies to adopt the blockchain first and hope enough tricles down to enforce some success for the public chains. Reality will probably be more nuanced but you get my point.

NEM is built as a JAVA application but uses JSON API's. JSON is not a programming language , it's merely a way to format data similar to XML.
Mijin and NEM API's are fully interchangeable. Noteworthy: Mijin referred the API documentation on bob.nem.ninja to their customers.
In other words any company that was testing Mijin initially ( I don't know about the status now...) used the NEM API as reference!

OK , I just got excited that it's even possible. 

So this is about SBI tests ? Those used AWS if I recall correctly so that certainly isn't lab internet...
>1k TPS throughput is actually not bad 

Why would those blocks be orphaned?

What is required for scaleability then according to you?

And this shows that NEM's technology is able to do just that.
So as a NEM user this confirms that we shouldn't be worried about the network not being able to scale properly!

That'll be the rocket launcher 

I was under the impression you were well aware of the magical powers of the ignore button 

This is becoming too much. Both you guys are on my ignore list now!
Stop spamming this thread, all info is there so everyone that wants to can draw their own conclusion!
