A note on organization:

We believe the NEM's core principles of fairness and equality will attract many other talented developers and helpers. So while all of us are committed to NEM, we would welcome others developers/ helpers to join us and make NEM a success.

Join us to make a better world.

History of the fundraising: NEM started with a call for active participants to join a new decentralized network movement. The fundraising was designed to promote fairness and egalitarianism with the principle of 1 account/ 1 stake. Our goal is to spread NEM widely and equally to many people (but not perfectly equal). Please see the history of fundraising in these two threads:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=422129.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=440185.0

Please see our development plan for the details of NEM's features. NEM's code bases are written completely from the scratch. NEM plans to combine the best features of Bitcoin, NXT and Bitshare system plus its own innovations. Highlight innovations of NEMcoin decentralized network includes:

+ Unlike Bitcoin and other mining coins, all NEM would be distributed at the genesis block. NEM stakeholders are its own network nodes which verify the transactions and protect the network following a hybrid of Proof of Stake/ Proof of Importance forging mechanism. This type of distribution eliminates the need to have a mining industry which is an external force that imposes a huge cost to Bitcoin and other POW networks. The computational arm-race is avoided by using the hybrid of Proof of Stake/ Proof of Importance forging mechanism.

+ A novel method Proof of Importance haversting that rewards the nodes that are most important to the network, not the nodes with the biggest number of NEM.

+ Support for colored coin implementation and the asset exchange is designed in the beginning with advanced features such as automatic settlement, assets listed with an expiration date. NEM focuses on the usability of the asset exchange to make them the premier platform for fundraising, asset listing, token issuing etc.

+ Secure messages for contract storage and personal communication.

V1 blockchain plans to include all these above features, while more advanced features such as parallel blockchains, reputation system are in discussion and will be included in V2 blockchain in later dates.

FAQ:

1. How many shares of NEM would I get ?

In short: there are 4 billion NEM and 1stake = 1million NEM
See the NEM summary for more detail https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1A9p6QZcUoDvezVMUsp2kYaF8g_jTNPFPL5e3Tli-jaI/edit#gid=0

2. What is the difference between regular stakes and development stakes ?

No difference except that development stakes are reserved for NEM developers/ helpers and they can use their regular accounts for these stakes.

3. How can I get my shares ?

You will need to access your BTT account to send a PM or make a post confirming the ownership of the account to claim your share. Detail instructions in an announcement will be posted here, NEM reddit, NEM facebook, ournem website and the announcement will last at least 1 month. It is your responsibility to read and follow the instructions to claim your shares. So please check back frequently. Thanks.

I did some guesstimate calculations.  Each page has like 15 to 20 replies.  So that is 300 to 400 replies and most of them are "I am interested" posts.

Fee is only for you ?

Any news

How we can have some of the early coin
Of nem?

Here is plan.

We are going to wait until

1. It is feasible to clone NXT code bases, it would probably not possible until April even though it might be possible earlier  

2. Gathering a mass movement with at least more than 3000 stake holders.

3. In the mean time, we can discuss making logo, currency symbol, setting forum; discussing everything else

4. At some point, I will set up some type of exchange to buy/ sell initial stakes. This will probably happen before the genesis block.

5. Community should give input and make the movement possible. Because at this point I only have 1 account stake as many others.

I apologize in advance for this question but why would it take until April to clone the code bases?  What exactly is a code base?

It is not easy to start a fork and a new genesis block with NXT code bases. We are going to use NXT codes but it has to be adapted to our new distribution scheme. So things take time and probably need a good cryptographer to make it happen. So we will move forward but patience is needed.

I have a plan NEM will also based on NXT blockchain but there will be more 

Plz. secure the NXT account 14343293611098709683 by buying an alias or something else.

Any Plans to put some funds aside for bounties, giveaways and faucets? I think both are a good idea. Bounties help it grow. Faucets and giveaways attract new people to the coin.
