I read somewhere that this drop of BTC is due to BTC futures options expiry at 26.02. so if this was the reason and if price does not drop in 30-40k range and cause too much fear, we should see better days for overall crypto since this weekend... Just an opinion and some hope, not advice:)

How futures' expiration act in these cases?

Some are guessing(?) that the drop was planned to cause some panic and then take the advantage with selling as short ..

CBOE uses Gemini exchange as settlement price and at Sunday night UTC, there was an warning on socials that big amount of BTC has been moved on Gemini wallet, so in this way they might tune settlement price in direction on shorts. At least I understood that way, and now can not find the text:(

So just to confirm, binance will support the snapshot right?

I am sure binance will support the snapshot but i am not sure it they have announced it yet or not ?  The price of XEM is low at the moment and its best time accumulate XEM. The free snapshot coins XYM could be of good value.

I intend to keep it on some exchange. For previously planned snapshot time in January, Binance planned to stop XEM activities much earlier than Poloniex, and Bittrex didn't plan to support airdrop, so, in such scenario, there is some room for someone to drop the price while we are locked. So, I will try to choose exchange with shortest trading downtime, just to be able to react on eventual sharp drop. What do you guys think?

If anyone in the nem community has wanted to see what it is like to be a Super Node on Symbol, here is your chance!

is it possible to mine this coin or not really

[jkoil]

is it possible to mine this coin or not really

nope,
these XEMs and XYMs are so called pre-mined coins.

Which is better than with FIAT coins, which can be later pressed more than has ever been planned

I do not clearly understand your point of view. Even if you keep your XEM in your private wallet, the price can still drop on exchange ? And After the snapshot XEM will dump hard as people who are accumulating the free coins, will dump them once the snapshot is over.

Price of XEM can drop even few hours before snapshot, right, especially if it goes very high. So, I would like to have possibility to stop loss in case of sharp drop, or take some profit in case of sky high. Last time Binance intended to stop trading 6-7 hours before estimated snapshot time, and Poloniex 1-2 hours before. If so, I will move my XEMs on Poloniex, for example. This was what I thought:)

An update package has been released:
Symbol Desktop Wallet v0.14.0 33
Symbol Mobile Wallet v0.4.2 34
Apple Symbol Mobile Wallet v0.4.2 16
Symbol CLI 3

Read the details here: https://forum.nem.io/t/symbol-launch-desktop-mobile-wallet-release-ledger-support-08-02-2021/27329

Well, downloaded symbol-desktop-wallet-win-0.14.0.exe and ran it.
It installed files to C:\Users\jkoil\AppData\Local\Programs\symbol-desktop-wallet\.

When started symbol-desktop-wallet\Symbol Wallet.exe from Dekstop icon, there appeared a big white window ...
no texts, no progress bars ... and it remained empty for 25 minutes. And still is empty while writing this post.

In the Task Manager there is a process 'Symbol Wallet (4)'    :     CPU-usage 0 ... 0.5 % and Memory-usage 117 MB.
It has 4 sub-processes, which are named as "Symbol Wallet".
Their Memory-usages are  21,  5,  28  and 63 MB.
Only the last sub-process has sometimes CPU-usage.

If there is a problem with the network (bad or missing connection to some 'node'), then I would wish at least something shown in the UserInterface ...


Where are the last updated guides?
I guess this https://docs.symbolplatform.com/getting-started/setup-workstation.html  was for testing and TESTNET  and I understood that it was for creating an account. But now we have already the accounts   http://report.experimental.symboldev.network/ok1.html

What did I miss now ??


Edit:  downloaded the same number 0.14.0 package, which was 9 kB bigger. The same result.
    The package 0.10.0 was at least showing something.
    These newer ones are blank.  The CPU % is 0 ... 1 % for the 3 latter processes, but mainly due the mouse movements on the window.
  

Downloaded symbol-desktop-wallet-win-0.14.1.exe and ran it.
It installed files to C:\Users\jkoil\AppData\Local\Programs\symbol-desktop-wallet\.

When started symbol-desktop-wallet\Symbol Wallet.exe from Dekstop icon, there appeared a big white window ...
no texts, no progress bars ... and it remains empty.

Directory blob_storage\212819c2*  is empty.
In the leveldb\LOG is only 3 lines:
2021/02/22-13:08:02.498 19bc Reusing MANIFEST
2021/02/22-13:08:02.498 19bc Recovering log #3
2021/02/22-13:08:02.499 19bc Reusing old log

That file is the only updated file. The rest ones in that directory are from last May.
Same case with the Session Storage.



The previously written problems exist.
Should I install something else too?

Has someone a Windows XYM wallet and it is running now?

[cyrax1]

I installed wallet and run it on testnet

I installed this exe file from here, now I see it is 14.0 and you are trying 14.1 (:
https://github.com/nemgrouplimited/symbol-desktop-wallet/releases/tag/v0.14.0
Literarily just run it, and after that created new wallet on testnet. It seems working, balance is 0 and I don't know if I should check something else...

Did you got any notifications from Window's security softwares?
In Windows10 there appeared some note from Microsoft Defender Smartscreen. I think it came with 14.0 and also with 14.1. The note was passed and the installation continued.


Edit:  tried now again with 14.1. And reduced some security SWs from PC before installation and running.
         After 30 minutes the Wallet-window remained totally empty, not even a note that "You are missing this ..." or "Cannot connect to ...".

Didn't get any message (Win 10), I'm using McAfee, so it Win Defender Firewall is not active on my PC, maybe that makes difference.

Tried again so that firewall was shutdown. No improvements: the Symbol-window is totally empty, not even Menus, nothing.
Strange...   I would expect that the UI and Menus are constructed before trying db or net connections.
The version 0.10 was showing something, so this PC has some capability to work...

Seems to Symbol (XYM) fork/airdrop/launch (?) was already included in XEM price.. and now it starts going toward south again :/
I would also ask: when catapult launch? ;-)

The price rise of XEM will depend upon the movement of bitcoin at the time. Currently, there is no surge in XEM price because bitcoin is not stable and there is a lot of fear in the market that bitcoin might dump below 40K. If bitcoin remain stable, then we can see good price movement in XEM.

Likely your eyes are not seeing very far

XEM price is now at least in the same level than it was before the announcement of snapshot day.
And it is higher than month ago. Clearly going up ...
