Thanks for the link of the story, I'm just guessing, if it is a good message / bad message / important message / non-important message for the NEM foundation and whole the NEM ecosystem ? But probably it's a good news, as market reacts now (NEM grows little bit better than BTC / other cryptos ... even if it could be just few-hours-temporary, as it was several times in the past).

"Dear NEM Community,

We wanted to share today that Lon Wong and Jeff McDonald will be moving from their positions on the NEM.io Foundation and shifting to advisory roles. Kristof Van de Reck has been elected as the interim President of the NEM.io Foundation.

With the early phase of the Catapult private beta release safely underway, Lon and Jeff plan to now focus on NEM’s business partners. These startups and consultants are needed to implement NEM applications worldwide. The NEM ecosystem is thriving and by moving to advisory roles, Lon and Jeff can dedicate more time to developing strong system integrators - a critically underserved piece of NEM’s ecosystem.

On behalf of the NEM.io Foundation we want to share our gratitude for the invaluable contributions of Lon and Jeff. Thanks to their leadership the NEM.io Foundation has built an amazing list of accomplishments and has a bright future ahead.

Our key developers, business partners, and management team are 100% committed to NEM’s success. NEM is leading the industry in terms of proven blockchain business use cases and there’s a lot of good news coming.

Please extend a warm thank you to Lon and Jeff, and congratulations to Kristof! We plan to release more updates and a statement from Kristof in the coming days.

What's technology behind this project, Is it an ERC Token?

You know, you could go to the very first post of this thread, and you could easily find such a basic information. Just look at the section "What is NEM?". You could also visit NEM's website or generally try to do your own research with google. It's not that hard, really

I wonder if this is related to the hack in any way, like when politicians cite 'family reasons' as the reason why they quit were dumped. I honestly don't know enough back story to judge if this is genuine sideways move into something they wanted to do, or a smoke screen to cover the stab marks on their backs.

The hack regarded an exchange; neider NEM blckchain neider NEM Fondation were envolved in any way.

Jeff McDonald has health issues.

Lon Wong is now focused on his new (NEM based) ICO.

Jeff Mcdonald cited health. And if you look at him he's become increasingly haggard as time has passed. Lon Wong always said he'd be stepping aside in 2019. I suppose that Proximax thing took up more time than he expected so did it early.

Ok, thanks for that information, I didn't know Jeff Mcdonald had any health issues, hope he gets well.

NEM is still one of the best managed crypto around, and change to bring in fresh legs with new ideas and enthusiasm is a good thing. Every organisation needs regeneration to prevent problems.

it's really sad that people still blame nem and its blockchain for the hack.
If nem have some responsability, all the exchange with nem have had the same issue.

Can you tell me some info about lon wong new ICO?

Tokyo financial services group Monex is considering Acquisition of Coincheck

"Monex Group, a Tokyo-based financial services group, is considering buying Coincheck. Shares in Monex jumped 23% off news that the retail investor was eyeing the Japanese exchange that was notoriously hacked this year. The move would benefit both parties, giving Monex an entry into the burgeoning crypto markets and granting Coincheck’s owners a way out.

Following the loss of $500 million in NEM, which was hacked in January, Coincheck’s owners have looked increasingly uncomfortable. The exchange has since resumed trading and reimbursed NEM customers, but it was no secret that its owners were seeking a way out. It looks like they may have found one in Monex. The deal, if sealed, could be worth “several billion yen” [several million USD] according to the Nikkei stock exchange.

One of the biggest problems Coincheck has faced in the wake of the hack is restoring customer trust. A changing of the guard would go some way towards achieving that. Monex group is a trading firm specializing in brokerage, foreign exchange, insurance, and alternative investments, but has no exposure to cryptocurrency.

Cryptocurrency exchange acquisitions are extremely rare, although last month Circle concluded its takeover of Poloniex. A week ago, Japan’s Bitarg exchange denied reports that Yahoo was considering purchasing it, and the New York Times’ Nathaniel Popper has tweeted the rumor that South Korean investors are eyeing a $400m move for Bitstamp.

Shares in Monex Group jumped 23% off news of the Coincheck buyout, hitting their daily limit of 424 yen, and coinciding with bitcoin climbing $400 as the cryptocurrency markets returned to green. The Monex-Coincheck deal looks likely to go through, with the Nikkei reporting that plans are in place for Coincheck’s Chief Executive Koichiro Wada to step down. Before the paperwork can be inked, Monex will seek reassurance from the Japanese Financial Services Agency regarding Coincheck’s registration, which had yet to be approved at the time of January’s $500 million hack."

[BitcoinArsenal]

Several news media report that Japanese brokerage firm Monex is interested to acquire Coincheck exchange. Since Coincheck is in trouble since the NEM hack, this could be the rescue for the exchange. An article on Coindesk.

Hello Nem! I want to talking about community management. I am an investor, and fan of the Nem. 
Long ago i've join to Nem Telegram chat. More recently the "quality" of Russian Nem chat began to fall precipitously.  I have no complaints about the old administrators.  But, I would like to find out who makes a decision regarding the appointments of administrator rights to new users. The problem is in, the rights to resolve controversial issues are given to people who absolutely do not know how to work with the community, moreover, they do not know how to behave in the hands, there is no competence in resolving disputes over violations of the rules.
In the Russian chat of telegrams there are adequate administrators, but, recently appointed administrators, it is a shame of the company. Please take action and correct this inapprehension.

Was this coin distributed as an airdrop in the beginning?

The very first people to express an interest got free stakes. Then it moved on to a pretty piddling amount. I think it was 0.045 BTC. That might have risen as more people got on board but I think the total amount gathered was only about 65 BTC.

History of the Redemption Process:

From the Final Development Contract:

Initial fund raising = 66.2 BTC + 419,697 NXT (minus some refund)

It was 10$ for one 2250000 stake in the beginning

Very old quote, sorry guys, but I would like to know how many XEM coin I would have received if I was one of the first to participate in the Free Airdrop.
I read over the web around 3000 XEM. Than I see this post : 2,250,000 XEM...
I'm a bit lost. If someone who participate to the first airdrop could help me by telling me the number, I would appreciate it

If you were on the first twenty pages of expressions of interest you got 2,250,000 for free.

Here's the original thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=440185.msg4918440

The cost was between 0 and 0.075 BTC or 750 NXT depending on how early you participated. One stake was 2.25 million XEM.

I remember it was done in such an organized, but low key way. It was like, here, pay this address x amount of BTC and you'll get a stake. At the time I joined it was around $30 for my stake. Yeah, I got my money's worth out of it and still have some left. I don't think there were ICOs yet back then, but I did also invest in a couple of projects where you sent BTC in exchange for some amount of future coin, and even then most of them have fizzled out. NEM is still here, though. I just wished I'd picked up two or three instead of one. But back then $30 was what I could afford to lose.
