[NEM] NEM -New Economy Movement - No Envy Movement - Updates+Discussion thread

[suky321]

In my opinion, on one hand, before issuing NEM, the users should be as many as possible.
 On the other hand, we should have many markets to buy/sell NEMS at the same time when starts transaction.

addition, if we can develop one  platform which can exchage NEM with any other coin(not only btc/ltc/doge) ,we can distribute the coin widly.

Also, if we can develop a platform that allows fiat money to be exchanged for NEM, that would allow a lot more people whom are new to cryptocurrency to purchase NEM.  Some people don't want to go through the phase of first downloading a wallet, signing up to an exchange/website, purchasing BTC or some other cryptocurrency, then purchasing NEM afterwards.

Try rounding the edges and corners for the nem cube. Maybe add a shiny polished look to it.

Yes. This is one of the most important aspects to focus on. Other than the development of the coin itself, I can't see anything more key to mass adoption.

I'm posting  my message again in case someone overlooked:

Hello.

Anyone who is included or will be included into development of NEM <--> FIAT.
exchange should check this interesting thread.
Is a project about decentralized BTC <--> FIAT exchange.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=462236.0;topicseen

Maybe the ideas exposed there could be helpful for the NEM community and
maybe NEM developers can join together with developers of that project to help each other
in the exchange development.

Now this is just to cheer up all the NEM'sters out there. A quote from NXT's official thread from come-from-beyond when talking about NXT's distribution:

The main issue I see is distributing the coins to enough people.

Agree. Without at least 100 users on start the whole currency is pointless. I would spend collected bitcoins for advertising instead of development of advanced features.

We have a wonderful community atm! If NXT has gotten this far with 73 stakeholders, just imagine what 3000 NEM'sters with better distribution can do !

Agree... but I have one concern. Let's think what could happen during the first two weeks of NEM. If the price going up regarding the original one (but still cheap for a big whale), it's going to be attractive. Many of the stakeholders can be prompted to sell in order to get immediate profit and then; a big whale (or a few number) can buy a lot of NEM coins, thus concentrating the money in a few owners and diluting the major effort that UP and dev team is doing into produce a fair initial distribution. In a purely free-market framework, I guess this is a plausible scenario and hard to avoid unless you want to intervene the markets until the money raise to get a respectable price that makes difficult to buy big amounts for only one or a few persons

That is a legitimate concern and there is no comprehensive solution here. This problem will not be avoidable unless we create a centralized distribution, and that is something that noone wants.

One thing that will combat the centripetal movement of coins in the longer terms is the improved forging mechanism where the fee coins will be distributed not based just to POS.

Initial fair distribution has been done and that's all it is. I have no problem with Bill Gate buying all NEM later on. Everyone would just start NEM 2.0.

Thanks for the comments! I agree with you guys that settle the initial conditions as equal as possible and then let the market do the job is the better (maybe the only) solution is we want to avoid any centralism. On the other hand, although possible it will be very hard to convince a substantial amount of people to sell at the same time. Fair distribution is by far the best choice! Keep the good job!

Apparently I made a wrong evaluation in the beginning of this NEM IPO;
and ofc let the previous NXT logo competition "scare"

Otherwise everything would have been so much easier and saved network bandwidth 

Suggestions (drafts) for NEM logo and currency symbol:

Last three are kind of interesting. The balance could be a little better, though.

Thanks for the positive feedback. (I guess it was such )

What do you mean by better balance?  ... I'm willing to draw better drafts if it is possible

Those drafts are kind of results of an evolution: started from "NEM" ...   



And the same for the currency symbol. They are usually one letter + (long/short) lines like $, £, €.
I was thinking that a letter is too common for NEM. But on the other hand it shouldn't be totally new symbol, which is coming outside of our alphabets



But, I'd still develope the images, if they have any perfectible draft

it still continues for getting to the Hall of Fame (http://www.flickr.com/photos/115246188@N06/)

Coz people seem to want letters, here it comes:



As from yesterday's "NEM"-texts and also today's discussions it is noticed that with letters it would be the best to keep the font similar in each letter.
Not so that one is cyrillic P (pi), other is Adidas's 3 stripes (beware the trial http://www.reuters.com/article/2008/04/10/adidas-stripes-idUSL1047327720080410 ) and the 3rd is latin M.


From the last image I realized that there they are, the ones, who are wanting the letters, who are wanting the NEM

First

NEM > EUR
NEM > Dollar

Could be managed by the help of Dgex.

Well if it's true that would be great news. I hope Dgex pull it off, they have proved a solid exchange and i prefer to leave my NXT coins there instead of my wallet even with a 90+password.

I really like this. I dont know why. Maybe its the Simplicity. A New Economy doesn't need to be complicated.
Too plain though.lets add some fantastic colours

This is a new platform that gives us potential to upscale if (when) needed. The platfrom is same as here at BTT. We can't transfer the old post there but i have encouraged all to post the old topics there.

If needed i can pm the old topics to the original posters (because they can access the old forum), you can make a request here http://forum.nemcoin.com/index.php?topic=14.0. Utopian remember to register to the new forum

We are sorry for the inconvenience!

that can be arranged.  I don't know if any entity still holds the trademark to the image though. It used to be used for something else... by that I mean the circle, triangle, square logo.  I'm sure some posters here must know what... a hint would be that if you watched "star trek voyager" when it was putting out new episodes you likely watched it on what network?

[play4ce]

@play4ace I like this one with some further refinements. But why the letter "E" is cut in the corner ?

hi UP,
Its mainly because of the spacing. The small circle in the middle would have the same spacing to the "u-shape", as the "u-shape" has to the outer circle. But I also think the open ends add some character.
Here another option:

The NEM forum looks really nice. I just created my profile there. I will check it regularly and write some poosts when I can have something smart to say :-)
Long live to NEM!!
