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

Wow...
The 27 from 55 - one half of nodes don't work properly... How whole system works at all?

The nodes do work properly the network settings on those system are just not set correctly which prevents them from helping the network. However in most cases those nodes will receive everything just fine.
This is also not a problem of NEM. Every crypto that runs on a non-standard port (so all of them) has the same issue. We just seem to be the only ones who proactively inform people about it

@jor27: orange nodes work too, but they are kind of passive. They can sync with the network, receive and send transaction and harvest blocks. They just don't help distributing the new transactions and blocks.

Why this happens?
Because of bad configuration, or may be not enough computing power? Or what?
If configurations - which exactly? Not working port forwarding?

Port are blocked. 99% of the cases only outgoing traffic isn't working so users won't even notice but the network needs properly configured nodes.
They'd have to configure port-forwarding or at least port-triggering.

you might need to go into your firewall settings and make an allowance for port 7890. When creating the allowance you may need to open that port to all pc's and not just home/shared network. That's what fixed it for me.

when i push the send nemcoin button，it said：A local node needs to be booted before you can send NEM ,so what should i do?

top right, i think next to your wallet name there is a drop down, in there there should be an option to "boot local node" or just "boot node", click that and enter any name or string of text what so ever..

once you have done that, to make things easy next time, you can go down to settings and "auto-boot node on next start up" or something.. and turn on auto boot.. that way you wont have to worry about that again.

The launch will come soon, so are we going to see a marketing campaign or something special to get more people involved?

Question
If i send for example, 2 NemStake now for real Nem
And i buy 1 more stake later on NxT AE

It is the same process?

I was kind of hoping that 2000 shareholders would swarm the all the forums defending and promoting NEM.  

Most coins have 10-20 big pumpers/bag holders, sometimes not even that.  These 10 people will create sock puppets and spam threads.  NEM should have 100 times more supporters than any other coin.  I would put us up there on day one with as big as a community of capable people as Litecoin and/or Doge. Only Bitcoin is clearly bigger and packed with a full house of talent, but NEM has a the youngsters advantage of having seen everything that went wrong with all the other crypto's and hopefully avoiding those mistakes.

Yes. THe marketing campaign is each one of us going to 10 people and spreading the news. THat is more effective than just having press releases. Viral is the name of the game.

But how can you get 10 people to care?

When V1 is up and AltNemo rolls out its first application.

It is hard to answer this question but I think there is a way to get people to care.  In the coming months and years, I think Bitcoin will see an exponential growth.  Lots of people will be coming into the system fresh and with a lot of new energy.  When they are there and they start to look past Bitcoin, we need to be the first alternate they see.  And then when they tell their friends about crypto, it will be about "Bitcoin and NEM".  This is how KkotNEM got excited about NEM and likes it more than Bitcoin. 

[jabo38]

Instead of a pump of just trying to get some people to through money in NEM at launch, we need to look at the long game.

That means taking our credibility and image quite seriously and always trying to be good.  

We need to create a good narrative.  

Something that in 3 years from now they can make a documentary about, like about how a group of people came together and made this new thing called NEM great.


BTW..... Are any of you devs getting footage of you living in small dark cramped run down apartments with your hair all nasty because you have been coding for the last 30 hours?  And then you talk in a kind of mad man's sleepless ramble about how your will die or make this thing work???  That makes for really great footage later.

Don't worry, we have several things prepared. At least in some of those the community is also involved. The show should begin soon.

Yes.  I am quite serious. I really mean this.

I think the reactions will go from http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/omsj.gif to http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/neat.gif
Some will be very excited others probably had expected even more.
