I can't wait for the incessant noise about launch to be over with. We get it people you want XEM to be live. there isn't one person who does not want XEM to be out of testnet. but no amount of plea bargaining on bitcointalk, forum.nemcoin, twitter, facebook or a note notarized signed by your mother is going to convince these devs to ship ugly. so all your doing is wasting breath(text). remember December launch quote was before multisig was included in the plan. you see the need for it right? we got an awesome feature that separates XEM from most coins with an extra month of coding. and now some testing.
TL;DR unwind your bunched panties, it will launch when ready, and it will be more glorious than the NEM that convinced you to buy a stake.
PS if your complaining about timelines and have a free stake go to hell.
Nailed it. Once you shift through the smoke and mirrors (fud and nonsense), this is really all thats important. In a world thats dominated by day-traders and pump and dumpers, i can't say i'm surprised that so many lack the patience needed to make a unique crypto.
In the meantime, people should be supporting by running the beta.
What i do find rather funny is that all this extra work and effort the devs pour into NEM is precisely what gives it value. In the long haul, the users in this new ecosystem benefit, but sadly so many are caught up in immediate gratification in the short term at the expense of long term -- this is in contrast to why I invested in NEM.
I'm tired of seeing clones and alt currencies based on PoW formula, it's become stagnant and it's why so many people exploit alts. No innovation, nothing groundbreaking and no progress, only people who manipulate those markets to concentrate wealth into the hands of a few (whales), leaving bagholders with nothing of value. NEM's distribution will really help combat this.
I "invested" into nem under the assumption that what i put in i may lose. This is how it goes in crypto. The Alpha/Beta has shown this is developing into a real, serious project, with more yet to come. I'm quite happy to wait as long as it takes because i know this is, as previously stated, a Sleeping Giant.
