Version numbers do not refer the completion level. 0.x version can be quite ready, 95 %, but it is not officially published.
What is now missing from NEM ?
Is that an essential feature ?
There are always some features to be added, but when can be said that the software is "ready" ?
I dunno what these people coming out with this 'not ready' shit are smoking. Bitcoin was up for sale for years at 0.whatever.
I don't know why it isn't on more exchanges, but ground is being lost needlessly. I have no idea why some people think it's good thing not to be over with as many people as possible.
NEM is still in experimental phase. Do you really want thousands, even millions, of people flocking to a platform that is still experimental?
It doesn't sound like a good idea when we even haven't left beta stage, this tech will manage people's literal finances which affect their daily lives. Developers have to make sure it's extra secure and stable.
It will be ready when it will be ready and when that happens more exchanges/people/companies will pick up NEM.
EXPERIMENTAL ?
HMMM ...
Crypto currencies have something common, which they don't tell openly.
The essential characteristics of different things:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SharkSharks can travel 70 to 80 km in a day.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger tigers can reach speeds of about 49–65 km/h
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SunThe orbital speed of the Solar System about the center of the Milky Way is approximately 251 km/s
or other essential characteristic
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_housea passive house typically loses less than 0.5 °C (1 °F) per day (in winter)
Nevertheless these wikipedias don't give that or any essential information
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoinhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litecoinhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEM_(cryptocurrency)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monero_(cryptocurrency)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripple_(payment_protocol)
Why they don't?
These sites give the
speed information. And it isn't good for crypto currencies!
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/cryptocurrencies-fastest-transaction-speeds-130600579.htmlTotal transactions per second:
Visa: 24,000 Ripple (CCC: XRP-USD): 1,500
PayPal: 193
Bitcoin Cash (CCC: BCH-USD): 60
Litecoin (CCC: LTC-USD): 56
Dash (CCC: DASH-USD): 48
Ethereum (CCC: ETH-USD): 20
Bitcoin (CCC: BTC-USD): 7
https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@steemhoops99/transaction-speed-bitcoin-visa-iota-paypalVISA can handle on average around 1,700 transactions per second (tps), call it a daily peak rate of 4,000 tps.
PayPal, in contrast, handled around 10 million transactions per day for an average of 115 tps in late 2014.
Today the Bitcoin network is restricted to a sustained rate of 7 tps due
Iota can already handle between 500-800 tps.
Ethereum – 20 transactions per second (Cost= 0.01-0.1 USD+)
Only of those above, which itself advertises its speed is VISA
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_Inc.
can handle up to
30,000 simultaneous transactions and up to 100 billion computations every second
Is this the raw truth?
If it is, that makes two things true.
Crypto currencies are too slow for real world usage. And therefore LemonAndFries had it right:NEM is an experimental.
Another intersting question rises?
Why LemonAndFries didn't explain why NEM and other crypto currencies are experimental though it would have been so easy.
The reason might be that LemonAndFries do want to spread uncertainty that makes it easier to manipulate crypto users ?
LemonAndFries is part of hte small group of Bitcoin Billionaires, who just give us the information which is useful for
manipulation of the ongoing P or D.
And LemonAndFries likes to give us somethinh savory, sour and salty.
