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

[Thingamajig]

What are you talking about, nem.io is not empty  

open other web sites and you will see a difference as there at them the first homepage is issued and as it is issued at NEM.

https://www.stellar.org
https://ethereum.org


unless it isn't visible as there at them the first homepage is filled with the description of useful functions and NEM on the first homepage don't have anything.

where the description of that that is multi-signatures?
where about that that NEM possesses innovative and best block chain?

where all that has to be as descriptions and advantages shown on pictures in comparison with other block chain crypto platforms?

therefore also the potential investor going to the homepage NEM sees anything and leaves. therefore he also considers NEM a usual simple coin as on the homepage to it all essence doesn't reveal at once. for search of an essence it is necessary to spend an extra time and to go in I undressed the blog. on it the potential investor has no time and without having taken away any advantages on the homepage he leaves on farther from NEM.

not surprisingly why the price of XEM constantly falls and all investors consider XEM a dead coin. notice - a coin. i.e. they don't even know what is it because as the same Stellar and Ethereum has no detailed description in pictures that such NEM and in what its advantage in comparison with other block chain crypto platforms of new generation.

A coin that doesn't happen to fit in with the saturated status quo of alts certainly doesn't make it a failure.

Best analysis was described earlier. If you're looking for short term pumps and dumps, you shouldn't be here; this is what PoW coins are for and those who hold the majority of the mining power.

I think our website could be better.  I think city landscape couple be thinner like on the blog, then underneath it an "about NEM" section where we give some major highlights.  Maybe something where you drag a mouse over something and it pops out more with a better explanation.  There are lots and lots of new and exciting things in NEM that could be explained in the about section.  Then go with the video and the info on how to get the wallet and such like it is now.  

Then we need more parts of our website like a business solutions/contact us page. Here we would explain some examples of how NEM is being used as new tech to help people do things that haven't been done before.  And then some information on how to contact us for further information.  

Then I would like to see the FAQ updated better.  

Those are my top three wish list for the website.  

I also believe we definitely need to avoid a pump and dump, but that these touches would help us to put a little bit of a more clear and better image out there.  

As it is I am pretty happy with the website though.  Saul has been the only one that has stepped up to help us out and has done a good job.  He has also been working hard on getting the forum merged.  The forum right now is the main priority with websites so once that is done we could look back at nem.io.  But right now I think it is like 80% of the way there.  Just a few more touches to finish it out.

1. Remove the video.  People who worked on it will probably feel insulted but sometimes you have to put aside your ego.  Most crypto videos only get 100s or 1000s of views.  This is even true for the vast majority of Ethereum and other projects.  Having a video on the front page is probably causing more people to quit than to consider NEM.

The most viewed Bitcoin clip only has 6.5 million views after 4 years; when let’s play streamers, pranksters and people playing with dolls can get more views in a week on YouTube.   Conclusion: videos are a waste of time unless it's a product placement.

2.  Answer the 5 Ws.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Ws

Ethereum did this well:

What is Ethereum?

Ethereum is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts: applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or third party interference.

Ethereum is how the Internet was supposed to work.

Ethereum was crowdfunded during August 2014 by fans all around the world. It is developed by ETHDEV with contributions from great minds across the globe.

Ethereum on their frontpage does the Five W's

Who: EthDEV
What: Decentralized Platform
Where: Around the world / Internet
When: August 2014
Why: To make applications run better.

Can you brainstorm a list of the 5'Ws for NEM?


3. Obfuscate or hide the buy option.  Asking for money at the front door  = scam on most people's radar.  Replace it with a button called: "Get XEM" which links to another page, where the first options are non-purchasing (like run a NODE, bounties, et cetera) and the purchase option can be displayed at the end.

4.  List all the ecosystem initiatives, projects and companies you can think of.  Even the smallest ones.

I like this ...

[yshin365new]

Etherium presale : 31,529 btc (USD 18,439,000 at time of sale)
NEM presale        :    63 btc ( about USD 50,000 at time of sale)
  Etherium presale was around 500 times of NEM presale in btc (around 370 times in USD at time of presale.

  http://ether.fund/market

Today,
Market cap of Etherium : 101,244,722 USD
Market cap of NEM       :       910,818 USD
  Etherium Market cap is around 111 times of NEM Market cap.

Then, can we say NEM is 3.33 times(370/111) efficient than Etherium, at least until now?

I really agree with a lot here. Really hope people pay attention to this. Subtly is key.

interesting calculation and comparison of NEM and Ethereum. NEM is on a good way 

Etherium presale : 31,529 btc (USD 18,439,000 at time of sale)
NEM presale        :    63 btc ( about USD 50,000 at time of sale)
  Etherium presale was around 500 times of NEM presale in btc (around 370 times in USD at time of presale.

  http://ether.fund/market

Today,
Market cap of Etherium : 101,244,722 USD
Market cap of NEM       :       910,818 USD
  Etherium Market cap is around 111 times of NEM Market cap.

Then, can we say NEM is 3.33 times(370/111) efficient than Etherium, at least until now?  

[oldisoft]

We will see how much will price of ether after few months, my prediction is that price of ether will much low than now and ether wallet is not so good at all. This is just bubble of soap...

Those are some pretty interesting calculations.  Although with all the hype around Ethereum and all those people buying in, it was bound to not move as much. 

I personally think that both platforms have a lot of room to grow if they perform well.  "If"

Its pretty good advice.  

I don't think the video has to be removed entirely, but it shouldn't be the lead.  Leading with a 5w's, a nicely done about section, or something like http://www.nxttechnologytree.com/ (except instead of a web of confusion it had maybe 5-10 neatly organized and arranged points.) would be better. 

I actually favor a technology tree style format where there are little sections are bullet points that can be clicked and expanded for more information.  I would have one on POI, Delegated Harvesting, M of N, Easy to build on API's, Nodes (Eigentrust and Node rewards), Mosiacs/Namespaces, and NEM's infrastructure.  Maybe get a nice symbol and bullet point for each one, then it is clicked on and an animation or pop-up explains more in a short summary with a link for even more info like a full blog or something.  Put that section right underneath the city landscape and then the video under that and leave the rest of the page alone.

Something like that as a focus of the website would help out some I think.

any news?

That tech tree is pretty cool ...

We need to start branding ourselves as the "The Best Designed Blockchain"

It seems the wave of the future is not necessarily digital currency but the technology of the blockchain and its uses ...

[mirny]

Hello,
I'm totally new to this NEM stuff.
I have few questions. I'm harvesting locally with 16000+ vested XEMs.
Did I get some reward for that harvesting?
or I need to set-up a full node with those 3000000 NEMs to get reward?
Is it necessary to open port 7890 on my node?
Thank you for any advice.

Looks like we will be dropping into the 30's sat range soon.

[Nortan12rx]

Looks like we will be dropping into the 30's sat range soon.

in 1 month the price is 30 sat.
in 2 months the price is 20 sat.
in 3 months the price is 10 - 5 sat.
in 4 months the price is 3 - 1 sat.

at such future price in 1 - 3 sat could make at once 888 trillion coins to begin with the price in 1 sat.

that raise XEM of the beginnings it has to reach at the beginning a bottom in 1 sat.

Keep dreaming At 1 sat one person could buy all NEM around, not gonna hapen... Price is only important for the weak hands and speculators who intend to sell anyway, we don't need them

Some consolation to those wrongly socked and docked.

i will wait price 1 sat in next 5 - 6 months.
hey look at volume xem is die!

very eloquently put. Thanks for sharing your predictions.

Can someone explain why I harvest blocks and get 0 fee?
