What is NEM?
NEM is a peer-to-peer crypto platform. It is written in Java and JavaScript with 100% original source code. NEM has a stated goal of a wide distribution model and has introduced new features in blockchain technology in its proof-of-importance (POI) algorithm. NEM also features an integrated P2P secure and encrypted messaging system, multisignature accounts and an Eigentrust++ reputation system.

NEM has gone through extensive open alpha testing starting June 25, 2014, followed by lengthy and comprehensive beta testing starting on October 20, 2014. NEM finally launched on March 31, 2015.

Watch our introductory video:



Features
- NEM is built 100% from scratch (not a fork of any existing project)
- NEM is built with test-driven development
- NEM uses innovative Proof-of-Importance algorithm: first reputation based blockchain algorithm
- NEM has customizable assets called Mosaics. Editable supply, levies, description, transferabillity and more.
- NEM has Namespaces to help maintain reputation of Mosaics
- NEM improves different features of POW and POS coins, being more efficient and environmentally friendly
- NEM one minute average block times
- NEM is the first crypto with delegated harvesting
- NEM is the first with localized spam protection
- NEM is the first with Eigentrust++ peer reputation management
- NEM is the first editable m-of-n multisig with blockchain based alerts
- NEM is the first every P2P network with nodes time syncing in a decentralized manner
- NEM offers encrypted, unencrypted and hex messaging
- NEM is easy to install with a one click installer
- NEM zero monetary inflation (fixed supply, all 9 billion coins released at launch).
- NEM relatively large egalitarian distribution
- NEM will offer a mobile wallet for both iOS and Android (coming soon)



What is POI?
POI is the consensus algorithm used in NEM to determine who will calculate the next block. An account's importance is determined by how many coins it contains and the number of transactions made to and from that account. POI is different from other initiatives which use a fee-sharing model that does not take into consideration one's overall support of the network. In some proof-of-stake systems a person only needs to have large amounts of coins to form a block; however, in NEM the transaction amount as well as support of the network become a factor. This has been designed to encourage users of NEM to not simply hold NEM but instead actively carry out transactions within the NEM ecosystem.



Roadmap to V1
- Completion of all the features in the existing wallet
- Coloured Coins
- Business Rules (a.k.a. Smart Contracts)
- Decentralized Asset Exchange
- Integration of multisignature into the AE and Business Rules
- Snapshotting for quick syncing of nodes

Finally a thread without people who misunderstand the concept of free speech

Finally a thread without people who misunderstand the concept of free speech

I know. The trolling was really really getting tiresome.

[TauMuon]

I am not in favour of self-moderation.

The unmoderated thread still exists.

[xtester]

I am not in favour of self-moderation.

We were not in favor of it either until it was too much.

I will post my previous post again. Here are the reasons for the moderated thread:

I am 100% for free speech, however, free speech does not entail trolling. I'm afraid people misunderstand this because they also misunderstand what freedom means. Freedom entails some kind of self-imposed limitations. We are free in so far as we don't intentionally harm our neighbor. We simply cannot enter someone's house and kill them or destroy their home and claim we have done it in the name of our freedom. We are not free to do such things and if we do them we have to pay a big price for that. Similarly, with free speech, we are free to express our opinions and thoughts, even disagree and criticize whatever we want but that freedom becomes the seed of destruction when in the name of free speech we allow people to deliberately and intentionally troll and destroy our hard work(without paying any price).

This is not freedom, it looks more like madness and there seems to be a great incentive on the internet for people to do that, because at least for now, they don't have to pay any price for their deeds however dreadful they may be. I am not interested in political correctness, I'm only interested in what is right and what is wrong, and allowing trolls to run free in our "home" seems obviously wrong.

If we have a self-moderated thread it does not mean we will delete every comment which criticizes or disagrees with us. As long as this is done with a minimal degree of decency every discussion is welcomed. But trolling should never be allowed just because the system we use is too dumb to find a way to penalize such behaviour.

The dawn of chapter 2
The donkey was done, i gave out a goldfish, working on an update.  

I feel liberated  was most unwise to say how fucked up *** detractors screwed with NEM.

Fatal flaw , to many threads , misinformation
To much bull shit >hyenas using NEM like a bill board spreading the love.

[KingCole]

Finally a thread without people who misunderstand the concept of free speech

Exactly! Spot on!

As we have moved to a moderated forum is it worth listing what would cause a post to be deleted? For example criticism is encouraged but lies, mis-quotes, bullying, etc. will result in deletion. The unfortunate step of moving to this type of discussion was down to abuse of a few making any genuine discussion impossible on open forums

I think once we have cut the troll disease, our community should be able to evolve and bloom again in no time.

[TauMuon]

With luck! Some really good discussion was developing in the previous threads before the troll infestation. Hopefully this thread will be a haven for such discussion once more.

I'll start some light discussion: Should a NEM Mobile app for Android and iOS be a priority for development after completion of the V.1 blockchain?

seems to be dying down already...

Don't tempt fate...

Thanks again TauMuon for the good layout and all.

My short answer is yes.

I cannot elaborate more now, need to focus on fighting the deasease.

well the second i clicked into the other thread after posting that.. cfa had posted over there lol

ps. can mods add people that can also delete the obvious troll posts? obviously 1 person cant do it 24/7

We'll need to look that up. Does anybody know already?

[NorrisK]

Just because of the fact that it is moderated, most of the trolls will stay out. No need for 24/7 moderation.

Good point. Anyway, we hope for the best but prepare for the worst. So can someone share rights of a thread?

Seeing as you reposted this, i'm re-quoting it because i share the sentiment.

Most certainly yes. I'd love to see a NEM wallet on android and other mobile device OS's.

Why wait? NEM has a strong community. Once the open alpha releases, the APIs will be made public shortly after. I hope the community can start building on top of NEM at that point while the core team is still focused on the core blockchain features.

I don't think apple will pass any wallet-like app, so only possibility for ios is web wallet

[EFFV]

Hey, thanks for getting this started xtester. I added a link to the moderated thread under important links in the non-moderated thread. Should we add a link to the non-moderated thread under important links here also?

Thanks,
EFFV

Thanks Jaguar , POI needs to be explained at some point. I assume PR will give us the details

@gimre Apple has changed their policy recently and allows bitcoin wallets again:

It would be great to have a NEM wallet for IOS and Android.
