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

[tolstoy]

The silver coin project is a great marketing tool for NEM, it will demonstrate our Mosaics with a real world use case.

Bullion tied to a cryptocurrency has a wide appeal, from those in the crypto community to the many silver bugs that stack as a hedge against inflation.
Also the low mintage may interest the numismatic collectors in our space. Trading the mosaic will also help increase the circulation of XEM.
To keep this trustable when redeeming for the physical silver, an escrow (Anon136 or equiv) could be used.

As makoto said:
"In essence, this is creating a silver-backed, fully fungible digital currency. This is similar to the old US silver
certificates, where the holder could redeem them for a silver coin. So here we have an opportunity to launch a
bullion-back currency that is parallel to NEM and lives on the NEM asset exchange! A world first!"  https://forum.nem.io/t/nem-silver-coin-for-all-stakeholders/922

That's how fast investments regarding blockchain assets will have ROIs . I regret not having etherium but newer and much promising platforms I anticipated are well intact such as waves, stratis and upcoming wings.

At some point market will be overflooded with such blockchain solutions while coins like Nem will have REAL companies backups as they are wotking now.
Nem is not vocal on social media to much, and hyping how that will be better than x y z blockchain solution will be. Nem devs just more focus on real deals around a world (mostly Japan) than trying overhype coin to sell it with profits ASAP and move to next ICO.
Blockchain ICOs will over flood market soon and at some point many those new projects without real output will start looking like POW copy cat coins and end same way.
If you have to know when to stop, many of those projects will end like PnD. Same was with POW coins (who remember lucky,moon,bee,heavy coin now ?)

PS: Nem devs are doing that most devs skip - working with REAL companies.

Indeed. Anyway, has anybody some info/news about "real deals in Japan" (or anywhere else, of course) ? Anyway II - is Makoto still fully involved in NEM devs team ?

The idea is great but I really think its a lack of time from the devs side right now. And it will be quite hard to find a trustworthy external person to manage everything

[standalone13]

Images not working in the OP. just looks shitty.

Yes, very much so

State of NEM: September 2016

Every month a lot of NEM-related news happens, and there is always a lot to talk about regarding it. As such, "The State of NEM" will be a monthly series that quickly goes over everything new that happens so that you can stay in touch with the project.

NanoWallet Testnet Release

The NanoWallet is finally here! After many months in development, the first publicly facing NanoWallet has been released. Similar to the LightWallet, the NanoWallet is written in JavaScript. This means that it will run on every platform with a web browser! Unlike the LightWallet, you no longer need to run *nginx* to access your funds, making it even lighter than the LightWallet.

Dashboard


Account Info


Services


Another major difference between the NanoWallet and the LightWallet is that the NanoWallet has some of NEM's services built right in! You can create mosaics, activate delegated harvesting, manage multisig, and use NEM Apostille (On-Chain Notary)!
Announcement Forum Link/Direct Download (All Platforms)

Mobile App Mainnet Release

After a long time in the testnet phase, the mobile app for iOS and Android is now availible for use on the mainnet! While it *still* isn't recommended that you add your primary mainnet account to the app, you're probably fine storing small amounts of XEM to test the app. Additionally, please remember to back-up your private key first thing.

This app now gives control to users to make or edit on chain multisig contracts on a mobile device, and all as easy as a few clicks. And of course, it allows signing of all transactions too. It is introducing invoices that work in conjunction with NanoWallet and sends push notifications to the owner of the app to alert them of account activity.

Developer Bounties

If you can write Node.js script and can write about it, then there are new bounties open to you!



Here's the list of projects given as suggestions. The NEM team will be willing to add additional projects if a community member suggests them.

- How to use NEM mosaics as in-game currency (use an open source JS game and reward high scores with mosaics that can be exchanged for badges). Bounty: 150,000 XEM

- How to create a payment API using NEM (asynchronously check an address for incoming tx with a previously defined msg and on success return something to the user). Bounty: 75,000 XEM

- Build a new version of XEMsign. This is a bot that a person can run on a server that will watch the chain and sign transactions for multisig accounts. Bot will only sign if transactions meet certain requirements. Examples can be a whitelist or blacklist of receiving accounts, daily limits, transaction limits, min balance limits, or a special message sent with the transaction (Google 2FA or secret password). Bounty: 75,000

- Build an instant exchange module for Nano wallet utilizing Changelly APIs. Bounty: 75,000 XEM

- How to create a voting app using NEM (using sink addresses for voting options, filtering for duplicates). Should also be compatible with Nano wallet. Bounty: 75,000 XEM

- How to create an inventory app using NEM (simple UI that allows the transfer of mosaic assets between “warehouses” -> addresses). Bounty: 75,000 XEM

- How to make a better block explorer for NEM. Bounty: 75,000 XEM

- How to make a stats viewer for NEM accounts (numeric/graphical presentation of account data with a well thought-out UI, filtering options, integrable into nano). Bounty: 75,000 XEM

- How to make a NEM notifier application that sends emails and/or Telegram bot that sends messages when an alarm notice happens (alarms: low balance, transaction happened, etc.) on a watched account. Bounty: 75,000 XEM

- Create NEM ID, a NEM implementation of BitID.Example: https://github.com/bitid/bitid-demo. Bounty: 75,000 XEM

- How to use NEM as a coupon system for business coupons. Should also be compatible with Nano wallet. Bounty: 75,000 XEM

- Set up a testnet faucet for XEM and Mosaic. Bounty: 75,000 XEM

- Build a key recovery service (KRS) that creates an of (n+1) multisig account. The KRS keeps the +1 private key and returns the other private keys to the user. When the user wants to retrieve the stored private key from the KRS, the KRS triggers calls a predefined webhook. Example: https://github.com/BitGo/key-recovery-service. Bounty: 75,000 XEM

Conclusion

A lot of interesting things happened within NEM last month, stay tuned to the NEM blog for more updates next month!

(Thanks to Nikhil for contributing this.)

Thanks for the update Jabo38!

Looking forward to testing the android app! 

[hardshot]

Just made my first test transactions with the main net android wallet, works great

[Brainofmasses]

Great news, thanks for keeping us up to date!

Nanowallet looks ultra sweet and I love the mobile app already!

[wosch76]

I can't decide if XEM is still dumping or if it's time to buy.

I think it's time to buy.
900 sats seems to be the new floor.

Keep your private key somewhere, so that if the wallet crashes or wiped out for whatever reason, you still have your private key to get back into the account.

Design is very cool

ICO looming

Maybe a good place to invest your XEM?

Faucet don't work?

[ruletheworld]

Faucet don't work?

Which faucet? You can always use ShapeShift to convert any altcoins you get via faucets (or even Bitcoin) into NEM.

I am using the NCC NIS standalone and logging in from my web browser. At the top it keeps saying synchronizing at block 762934. It seems to be stuck on this. Any idea what to do?
