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

I come from China, I like to talk my thought about 4 Billion issue, in China  statutory measurement units , we will call the 4 billion is 40 yi (yi pronunciation is E (in A B C D E), and 40 is not so bad as 4 in China culture.
But i don't know other Asia issue about 4 billion.
if we still want change the quantity, I suggest the number 3.99 billion,because 3.99 billion =21 million*190.
and 21 million is bitcoin quantity, while 190 is a good number in China, it means live long, bitcoin*190 will means we can live longer than bitcoin.

The hate for 4 comes from the pronuncination of 4 (= 四 [sì]) is almost same with the pronunciation of death(=死[sǐ])
4 = 四 [sì]
40 = 四十 [sìshí]
40 includes 4 in pronunciation.

EDIT/
My hobby is banknote collecting.
The special serial no. banknote is expensive.
Solid number note(1111111, 2222222,.....9999999) is most expensive.
Among them, 8888888 is most expensive, and 4444444 is cheapest in spite of same rarity.
Million number note(1000000, 2000000,.....9000000) is expensive, too.
Among them, 8000000 is most expensive, and 4000000 is cheapest in spite of same rarity.
The love/hate for special number also influences on the price like this.

You should post this on the NEM forum.   

In Japan as well, death and the number 4 are both pronounced し (shi). The dislike is so great that the number 4's pronunciation changes to よん (yon) in most cases.

The dislike in Japan is not just from the similarity, but also from the 神道 (shinto) belief in 言霊 (kotodama). The idea that words and sounds have power and meaning in themselves. It is similar to Judaism/Christianity/etc that teaches that God created everything through the use of The Word.

fingerprint scanner would be the holy grail of crypto imo. Pretty much solves the security issues no?

Iris/voiceprint is interesting too.

As is mitochondrial dna sequencing

I honestly wonder where NEM will be 6 months from now. What we'll say and think looking back. For a coin that's only launching, NEM does seem very different compared to what people are used to in the altcoin world.

Most coins seemed to be developed by scammers or people with sketchy computer science skills. NEM is developed by professional software engineers and people with PhDs in computer science from the world's top universities.

Typical coin devs = one or two guys in a pump and manipulation, quick copy and paste with a new logo, not a lot of creativity or skills.  After the coin disappears, they do it again.  It is the same few teams over and over responsible for this massive flux of alt coins that weren't designed for anything except for an easy buck for the devs.

NEM devs = talented, focused, creative, and many. 

If a person looks closely it is pretty easy to see how NEM's pattern is totally different.

The pump and dumps are announced out of nowhere.  NEM was announced a long long time ago. 

Pump and dumps don't even have a client on arrival.  This is because they are rushed and to some extent if it is a PoW they want to mine it all themselves so they make it hard for others to mine.  And NEM not only has a great client but is releasing with extra features. 

Pump and dumps just tell the community what is up.  NEM actually takes polls and listens to feedback. 

Pump and dump devs are quite mysterious (because if people say their real identity they would know they are scammers).  The NEM devs all have a history that predates NEM. 

The list goes on from there but these are some main points. 

We are watching the birth of a real crypto here.  One with legs.

It doesn't need to change the total number of NEM coin.
4 billion is fine and good, don't be waste of time discuss this issue.
Any way, we could spend time testing NEM client and giving some advice about the Roadmap.

Uk is becoming more and more like china. Just like the us and every other western country. Fuck this world.

If someone threatens to kill you or seems serious to do you harm then should this be allowable?

Depends on the situation perhaps....

[Wulfcastle]

Hmmm, so is NEM launching today?

NEM is definitely not launching today nor in the next 3 weeks.

Maybe Beta within the next day or so.

and 9 means forever in China culture.
Also everyone still know NXT's original 21 btc investment.

And in current important  time , we just multiply to 8 billion will be considered not serious about our NEM.

Solution is then very easy, leave the total supply at 4B and you burn one NEM to get to 3,999,999,999.. 

[Djinou94]

Hey it is good to worry about our chinese nemster investors 
Yea lets do it 3,999,999,999!

It would be next close to our aimed 4B.

I'm a fan of the Australian single transferable vote but that's difficult to do with a forum poll.  I think I might reset the poll and leave two options


3,999,999,999 (4 billion)
8,000,000,000

Might be a good idea yes.
If the only goal is to get away from 4, why do you want to double it ?

Can add my suggestion 3,990,000,000 (=21million*190) on poll . for the number 3,999,999,999 ,we will still say NEM issued 4 billion in China.

I misread what you wrote earlier, yes I will put it down as 3,990,000,000
