Were not on the same level.
Average joe doesnt know about bitcoin yet so why would he give a ying fk about nem ?
I asked give me one thing he would care about?
You replied a physical goods decentralized exchange. Now this is a logical argument what else is possible with nemnxt thats not with bitcoin?
Is having a physical goods exchange like that something the world will see as groundbreaking And solve an everyday issue? i dont know but lets keep it logical.. list them out and maybe you can make us "see" if there is something to see.
companies can list stocks free of charge, free of wall street. people can buy those shares annonymously and dividends of these shares can be paid automatically to the share holders.. share holders can then also use voting system to vote on company issues.
businesses can crowd fund with the AE. so anyone who cant get a loan from a bank can put up a proposel of prospectus and get investment when a bank wont help.
an entire mmorpg thats played through the nxt client(i think) and totally built on the block chain can earn young gamers money while having fun at home. think decentralised world of war craft were if you win a battle you earn real money.
voting system could be used for governmental transparent voting that can not be corrupted and publicly audited and counted.
when bitcoin network costs 1 billion to run. nxt/nem i think can run for less than 10 million. 999,900,000 dollar saving. thats worth that much money per year isnt it? im sure those running the network will care about that.
nxttorrent will be totally decentralised bittorrent i think. piratebay and its users will love that one.
its hard to think of real world applications for technology im barely getting to grips with.
its going to have personal/business level privacy, so as far as i can tell thats like, hide balance but not transactions. hide TX but not ballance, hide shares, but show everthing else etc etc. you dont care if people see you bought a tv right? but you wouldnt want them to know how much green is in your piggy bank would you? or how many shares of company x you own or how much you earn from that right?
theres just so much its scary to think tech has become so advanced in such a short period.
also, what do you make of ethereum?
nxt automated transactions are at testing phase(very soon to start testing) and this is a total death blow to ethereum. because AT uses assembly code, any language can work with it, where as with ethereum you would have to learn their new language which could also have serious flaws, and could take years to pound out security holes. so essentially they are integrating a better ethereum into nxt and destroying ethereums first mover and main advantage over other coins.
