NXT VS NEM

[Nxtblg]

NXT is not that big right now and there are already clones. Just wow

NXT is not "growing" now.
Maybe all in the crypto world is now in idle state.
Maybe the world is in idle state; waiting for Putin's commands, waiting for China's prognosis to the next years,  ... or just waiting for Easter holidays ?

Nah...it's the typical post-bubble coma.

Nxt should be first. Maybe a mineable clone of nxt will do good

Promises very often look better than realization but I wish NEM the best, also Nxt. I am holder of both (if my Nem stake promise will be fulfilled).

Yes i have to agree. If NEM delivers all promises, then quite some time will have passed, and by that time, some killer features of NXT will be in existence. And at that moment, NEM will be one generation behind. I fear it will always be 1 generation behind.

I couldn't disagree more.  The fact that we are even having this conversation before NEM has launched anything tells me that if NEM launches something even close to comparable to NXT, it will pass NXT quickly.  You have to admit the community is quite huge for a coin that isn't close to launching yet.  

How would that be even possible? If this project launches in 3 months, then NXT will be nearly 9 months old and will have an established asset exchange and a digital goods store. The network effect alone would be enough to overcome your better distribution AT START. Because right now, we have much more than 3000 stakeholders.

Prove me wrong, but don't argue with me about how your vaporware will beat our already launched projects...

Just take a look at mastercoin, i fear this project will turn out like MSC but with less money stolen obviously.

UTOPIAN is the keyword here

The funny part about this is that unlike you, I have no bias here.  Actually, I own a fair amount of NXT.  I'm not on the NEM team so it's not MY vaporware.  My point is that you can't deny that NEM has a quite large community for a coin that hasn't launched yet.  Any decent launch will make this project an immediate success.  You probably don't even know that Mastercoin will be the platform to host the MaidSafe offering on April 22.  It looks like Mastercoin will have the 1st mover advantage after all.

The NxT bagholders are angry.  

This is definitely Downfall Hitler Parody material right here.

Right, let me just quickly sell my NXT and buy some NEM. Oh wait, I can't.

Then I will have 0.03% of all NEM anyway that is enough for me

[nonlinearboy]

when will the NEM done for launch?
late May?

LOL at NAS, this coin is 10 bil and has already much much worse distribution than NXT originally.
I think that NEM will overtake NXT at one point, (in case NXT wont boom before NEM launches).

As a mastercoin supporter- and a long time bitcoiner that's seen all the alt-coins come and go, I have to say I find the "buy in" process for mastercoin a bit of a boon. While perhaps JR gets rich off the project, it also simultaneously motivates him and supports him. Last I checked, he's now working on it full time, funded by the money essentially given to him by the people who bought in at the start. In some ways it's less a rippoff (of course, I'd like to believe that right?) then it is angel investing. A few bad months, (or even years) in terms of the price of Mastercoin shouldn't affect JR and others commitment as they have already been paid to work on it. Here's hoping anyway.

That said, I'm excited about all these projects. :-)

[ALBORCA]

they are both good

[ShroomsKit_Disgrace]

Yeah man....keep waiting. 

[ChuckOne]

It is too soon. The fact is, that NXT is in difficult position, even though It seems to be best platform right now. Yes the stigma is huge problem.
NEM will no have any stigma, so if It delivers what we think, It will in my opinion overtake NXT.

NEM has the UtopianFuture stigma. I think that is a really huge issue. Nobody wants to be a part of a project of a scammer.

Good that we had BCNext doing it for free.

Really? Having people cheat somewhere is one thing. But having the leader of a project cheating.... That is definitely a no-go and a blocker for future adoption.

No software is the real blocker. Humans are humans, but software can't lie. No software can't lie even more so
