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

[nzminer]

I think its hilarious that google and facebook would ban such ads, yet i see them supporting scam adverts for the likes of driverupdate and other fraudulent antivirus and security software.

Just put driver updates into google now and you will see what i mean.

Anyway, its a double standard and hypocritical for google to do such a thing. Dunno why people would react in fear on the markets to such news though, pure FUD.

@wiser - I said nothing about those stupid schemes to pay people to watch ads. I don't know why you quoted me. Nothing you said has anything to do with what I said. Except maybe the point on ad-free sites and the ability to enable or disable ads.

I'll quote myself, too:
"I really hope more will take a look at NEM, read about it's principles and projects, and participate in voting. We are the New Economy Movement. "

*edit* Maybe I came across a bit hard. It just seems like so many have only the basic comprehension of what modern "cryptocurrencies" are. Smart asset blockchains, like Ethereum and NEM are so vastly more powerful than use as a currency. In fact, their function isn't to be a currency in the traditional sense, like bitcoin.

NEM blockchain has astounding depth and complexity compared to most cryptos. Comparing NEM to bitcoin is like comparing the internet to smoke signals. It's true that the Internet allows communication over distance, just like smoke signals, but... I think you can see where this is going.

An encrypted ledger system utilizes coins as a means of facilitating trade. Simple point-to-point purchases. (Bitcoin)
An encrypted noncentric smart asset consensual ledger system utilizes "coins" as a means of facilitating information transmission and record of any type. (NEM)

Any scenario that requires data transmission of any type, can utilize smart asset blockchains. Pretty much anything a person can imagine, can be built upon them. There are certain physical and computational limits, but these are being expanded exponentially. In fact, you can use the blockchain itself to build something to alleviate the restraints within it.

I guess my point is, is that everything that google does can be done with smart asset block chains. We don't have to put so much of our money, privacy, security, and freedom in their hands.

I agree with you. I was thinking about what you said: "Imagine the advertising revenue going to those who see the ads, and not google's bank account." when I mentioned the concept of watching ads for money, and just noting that so far the implementation has been problematic. But overall I agree with you about the power of the block chain and how we don't need to give up so much into Google's hands in order to get the benefits they offer.

I'm honestly surprised they're fighting block chain technology, rather than embracing it (and trying to take it over)

[leoinker]

There are companies like D2G - which just began adopting NEM blockchain. I posted about it previously.
Also, there are a few other promising projects using blockchain tech for advertising and/or monetization of content without ads.

Beyond current projects, the ideas are limitless.

Blockchain of ads idea:
Anyone can pay to load an ad into the blockchain.
Anyone can run a "Wallet" to load the necessary recent blocks of current ads. E.G. Block height of 15,200 to 15,700. Outdated blocks of ads aren't loaded - reducing load time / file size
Anyone running a "wallet" or "miner", is compensated with "coin" deposited to the blockchain by advertisers. Each time an ad is processed (Displayed or clicked) by your "wallet" / "miner" you get a "block reward"
The "wallet" or "miner" could actually just be a browser plugin, or it could be a website itself. Maybe it could even block other ads, and replace them with blockchain ads.
Websites could be "masternodes" displaying the blockchain ads. Either paid per click, or some formula to calculate # of visitors, ads, clicks, and payout. Visitors could disable the ads, in return for contributing a small sum of their computers computational power to whichever blockchain network the website is a part of.

This could completely replace Google adsense, yet appear to function the exact same way. - minuscule text ads, bidding for exposure, etc. But decentralized, with no CEO, and all revenues distributed to those using it, instead of a single bank account.
From an end-user viewpoint, it could look and operate identically to adsense.

I'm kind of just spewing ideas. I could go on forever with theories. Just trying to show the possibilities. There are others way smarter than me actually working on these concepts and putting them into code. They can even be found on GOOGLE!  

As NEM finalizes development of Catapult release, creating and implementing ideas like this will be much easier.

With all the scam icos and projects around it is no wonder they are banning these adds.

Remember, not everybody has been around as long as some of us here. If they see adds promising massive returns and buy without checken, that is not a good thing for the long term health of crypto.

Prices recovering slightly after this started spreading: Winklevoss twins to form SRO (Self Regulatory Organization)

Also - Cryptopia ran an audit on NEM wallet! Missing transactions are now available, and wallet is synced up ready to trade, withdraw, and deposit.

[KloNEM]

So, what's the reason of the current dump (harder than other cryptos), that pushed us out from top10 again ? Is it the Coincheck hacker dumping the stolen XEM again ?

Anyway, we haven't to much attention on cointelegraph at all ... but they have - almost daily basis - price analysis for top10 coins. We missed the newest analysis (on #10 position) by one or two hours. Nothing crucial, of course, but it's a shame...

[yayat]

Very nice view NEM renew the price.
It will continue to rise as time passes.
NEM is the 10 strongest altcoin on earth.  

[leoinker]

If you compare the volume and price graph to previous times when NEM has mooned, there is a lot of similarities. I'm not saying that's what will happen, but there is potential. Price shoots up, then sold down to half it's price before continuing it's climb. The short term investors have to get sold out before we can continue a climb.

The markets are just waiting for positive news from NEM foundation. Any sort of positive news on catapult, mosiac exchange, catching the hacker, etc could send us skyward in a hurry. We saw how news of coincheck reimbursement sent things flying.
It likely would have continued further if it wasn't for the google ban. - Which actually doesn't take effect until June. Once people start realizing that, there'll likely be money coming back into crypto in general. The winklevoss news should be reassuring to newcomers, as well.

The crypto markets as a whole lost $60 billion in 1 day after the google announcement. NEM happened to be in a precarious position when the news came. There was likely over-buying happening the day prior, so the crash is affecting us harder than others. FOMO ran smack into FUD.

Just my 2 sats.

*edit to avoid double post* - I'm always remembering something else I should have shared.

Read this: https://www.newsbtc.com/2018/03/15/ethereum-trounced-on-ico-regulation-and-ad-ban/

There is lots of FUD surrounding ICOs now, with SEC giving warnings, congress having hearings, google banning crypto ads, etc. And that reminds me of the importance of the NEM mosiac exchange, soon to launch. It will allow anyone to create their own crypto currency as a mosiac, and offer it for sale right within the NEM DEX. No need to get approval from any big exchanges, no way for SEC to get in the way, no need to buy google ads.
This will be tremendous! We will see a massive influx of previous ETH fans and huge growth in NEM based alts. NEM will have the superior system hands-down! It will take any other smart asset chain quite some time in development to rival NEM's utility.

Also, Bitcoin is making some quick recovery. Up nearly $1k overnight, bringing alts along with it.

Apparently after being stolen by hackers, XEM proved that this community is very strong.
I am very happy XEM survived and peaked again 

Well, the NEM community is much older than most other crypto communities out there and more resilient. To be fair though, it hasn't peaked yet - it is still far away from the peak.

Yes NEM is not yet time for the peak ..
This is just the beginning of the resurrection.
Because BTC is now falling to make red altcoin

I agree. it´s not yet time for a peak. But I really prefer a steady rise. hopefully it will settle soon at a decent price

Great news! Catapult is in the process of being implemented. Although the dev team hasn't been specific, it was made clear that this will be a "painful process" for the public. Maybe this has something to do with all the exchange wallet issues of late?

Extra great news - Official Catapult release & announcement to happen within 2.5 weeks.

Extra extra great news - The Catapult whitepaper specified a target of 3,000 transactions per second. But it actually does 33% better, at 4k per second without hiccups! This is double the average TPS of Mastercard and Visa! And so far I haven't found any information suggesting it can't do more than 4k.

You have a link for this?  or is this from telegram?

edit/ Links Added:

Lon Wong interview
dev tweets
NEM with Tony youtube video
...and some sources I can't share, but If you read my past posts, you should be able to tell I was hinting towards this.

The Lon Wong interview should be the most compelling for investors. It hasn't spread much yet, though, and is hard to even find on google. In fact, it's not on the official NEM news site or twitter.
Price of XEM is sure to rebound once people start hearing about this. I'm trying to give you all the heads up so you can get in while it's cheap. - Then tip me when you make a buck. I'm 1.1k XEM away from my goal of 10k.

I can edit this and add URLs later.
Anyone else feel free to verify what I shared.

Whats the max no of coins for NEM? Couldn’t find info anywhere

[raoulsergia]

Whats the max no of coins for NEM? Couldn’t find info anywhere

Its available on coinmarket cap and i believe it is correct.
In any case, you can find all the details in the whitepaper
Its more of a utility token and can be staked as well

Thanks but nw i am confused between DGB and NEM

DGB is just another fork of Litecoin, amazed its still around.

Where can i download the open alpha client?

At least I'll sell at 15k sitting.
Is that worth the price for you
The highest NEM I think at 15k sat
