NEM (XEM) Official Thread - 100% New Code - Easy To Use APIs

[BuliH]

Here are some interesting stats about the accounts in NEMESIS:

avg post count: 211
avg registered days after NEM start: -64 (meaning registered 64 days before NEM start on avg)
avg number of days since last active (from 3/8): 65

For comparison, here are the same stats for sock accounts:

avg sock post count: 5
avg sock registered days after NEM start: 11
avg number of days since socks were last active: 203

You can't rely on this because Ripple Giveaway led to a lot of sockpuppet accounts created in advance (because of expectations that another coin will use the same approach). For a better assessment you should do Resource Testing trick which would show how many computers are owned by the remaining accounts. If you get that only 30% accounts own a computer then you could reliably assume that 70% are sockpuppets.

In this case, post count is a fair approximation for a proof of work 
People who have only 1 post in the past year are not likely to be real people. And if they are, then they are even less likely to be able to contribute anything to NEM.

There was no requirement of an amount of posts for the people who paid for their stakes in the beginning. And paying or investing in the development of NEM is in my opinion already contributing to NEM. There are people like me who have contributed initially by investing and followed the progress of an interesting development project from the sidelines and now find themselves kicked out. It doesn't mean that they are not going to contribute by supporting the economy after the launch. People just have different amount of time, skills and knowledge to participate in the conversation.

No, so posts were just one criteria. As explained in the forums, IPs or fingerprints had to be linked. Once that link was established, the posts of potential socks were read and determined if they were a real person or not.

But don't worry, there will be a way for legitimate people to complain.

LOL.. Some of those gready asses noticed the potential of NEM.
But I clearly doubt that anyone will really start any actions.

You guys finally tried my patience. I have jumped through all your fucking stupid rings to get this now outdated coin. I used a sockpuppet as I am the devloper of a well known coin and don't want my name all over another coin. When I invested I thougt it had some potential but after all the bullshit of the founder being found to be a scammer and all this bullshit and to end up with a NXT look alike wallet I'm absolutely Fucking done with your childish bullshit. What fuckong hopeless team ends up with 60% of the coins and says it egalatarian. Fuckwits.....I'm out.

As per the rules, people are allowed 1 sock account. If you have a legitimate excuse, then please contact us through the appeal process, which will be announced shortly. Just stop spamming our thread

None of the sock/unclaimed stakes will be used by the core team, as explained previously. The NEM devs are only getting 10% of the coins in total, up to the V1 launch, which is still many months away. We are not violating our principles.

[Daedelus]

stick to the first plan 25% to dev,mobile app, nodes and 75% to stakeholders

The solution is to reduce  the number of  coins.  Give 25% to developers, hold  5% for people who might claim later, and 1 million each  for all legit users.

As I understand it, the 25% was agreed. It seems sensible to stick to this.

I don't recall the 25% being a a condition when I joined, so I already feel the stakes have been diluted. But maybe my bad, I swallowed that. Having such a high percentage out of circulation for 'unconventional marketing', 'mobile app' etc sounds more like mercenary devs/marketers will be producing what is needed for bounties and dumping for payment. Which is ok and expected to an extent, but not when those devs/marketers who want to get paid for their efforts are potentially as big a group as those that are holding NEM. There will be a huge imbalance.


I haven't seen any reason why the 'original' plan of 75% to stakeholders and 25% to devs/marketing/etc. can't be carried through ("we can't/won't" seems to be the current response). I can understand why 65% of the stakes not being distributed can seem like it will give NEM devs security in the future, but it is more likely that it will depress the price and make you wish you had limited this proportion to 25%.

In this case, post count is a fair approximation for a proof of work  

There is a big difference between real PoW and your "PoW". The latter can't be verified and statement "NEM devs excluded part of the participants to avoid dilution of their own stake" still remains.

People who have only 1 post in the past year are not likely to be real people. And if they are, then they are even less likely to be able to contribute anything to NEM.

Does this mean that it's you who decides if someone deserves a stake?

May I ask where you sudden interrest in NEM comes from ?
Don't get me wrong, I welcome it but i don't think I've seen you in this thread before last week and now you're quite active in this thread.

If you read the explanation of the analysis on our forums, then you would know that accounts had to be linked into fingerprint or ip-based clusters. It's the same data and analysis done in the previous sock cleaning round. Also, as before, no one was put on the sock list without someone going through their posts and seeing if they were legit or not. Finally, there's even an appeal process for real people who slipped through.

He's waiting for the launch announcement, which is probably not far off..

Before last week everything was going pretty smoothly, there was only 1 red flag (absence of PoI tech details). But suddenly more red flags popped up. Time before the launch is the only opportunity to find out real motives behind NEM devs deeds, after the launch you could just say "Sorry, it's too late to change anything".

PS: Do you ask because my questions make you feel uncomfortable?

I ask because I wanted to know. You're asking questions in a zivilized and rational manner. Nothing that makes me feel uncomfortable at all.

How could the community verify that there are no other sockpuppets controlled by an insider left? Is the anti-sockpuppet analysis published somewhere?

[Mickeyb]

Man, this is turning into real soap opera!!

[Come-from-Beyond]

I can't find that post about Mr. X who found 400 sockpuppets. A NEM dev mentioned that he was PhD in something and that he was really good in his area of expertise. Any ideas where that post is?

We don't want to publish a list of names because of privacy reasons.

I can compile a chart of the registration dates, ranks, and post counts of NEM stakeholders. Or do you have other suggestions?

At this point, I'm fairly comfortable that there are no major sockmasters.

BTW, there are two things:

1) Please try to promote our reddit page (http://www.reddit.com/r/nem/) and make it more active

2) Are there any brick and mortar shops that are interested in accepted NEM?

No one wants to run our reddit page? CfB? CfA? Nemtildah? Anyone?
