NEM already has a larger market cap than qora and we don't even have an open beta yet.

Exactly my point.

I wouldn't say our programming is slow. We have tens of thousands of lines of code already, along with well over 1000 test cases (we are doing test-driven development). We're just doing a lot of new things and new things take time because they have to be well tested. We haven't yet announced all the new things we are doing. Our team is really first-rate and I think people who invest in NEM now will easily get 10-20x their money (unless something crazy happens like BC Next and Satoshi releasing a new coin the day before NEM launch).

If you don't have NEMstake yet, head over to the NXT AE and get some: https://nxtblocks.info/#section/assets_exchange/12465186738101000735

I don't believe in rushing out things. If we have to do anything, we should do it right once and not backpedal! That will often bring more disaster than not. I believe Qora is having some roll out problems they are facing now.

Regarding the updated design, I am interested in the community's thoughts on using the circle with 3 balls (tomoe; 巴) or some modified form as our symbol/logo.

Right now I don't think we really have a symbol that relates to humans because transformed triangles and squares are a little too abstract. It is important to create something that people can see and have a feeling for what it means. Tomoe and symbols like yin-yang represent a dynamic balance that shows harmony and yet movement at the same time. I think if you think about what that means conceptually then you can get an idea for what a fitting design for NEM will be.

At a high level, I think you could summarize NEM in 3 parts:

- financial freedom
- decentralization
- equality of opportunity

Uniting these three together in solidarity, we have a theme where these three components must be together and work together in order to create an emergent harmony (i.e., the new economy).

If anyone has any ideas on other symbols we could use that represent these ideals, please post them here!

Good points, makoto. Thanks for taking the discussion further. Hopefully we'll be able to find something soon enough.

The logo looks very panda-ish and not "serious" enough, but alas, I wish I was a graphics designer. :-(

Can we have the community come out with some logos and put them to vote? That would be a great way of getting consensus agreement, in the true spirit of a block chain transaction!

Pandas are cool Cheesy

We tried community-sourcing a logo, but no one came up with anything that really resonated. Lots of logos just said NEM, but I think we should try to move away from textual logos and try to find a symbol that represents: 1) financial freedom, 2) decentralization, and 3) equality of opportunity.

Why is this taking so long with so much talk and no action?

Qora announced and distributed within a month and it's a completely new source code.

OT:

And Qora have bring massive innovations and is complete product? Don´t think so...

Great post... but I think you can update some information.. UtopianFuture already set up some dates that is TBD on your post.
Nice job anyway.

Done and added the countdown timer there as well.

xtester: I hope that our 3000 stakeholders can come up with something and adopt it organically. It's important to create a sustainable community, so us devs can't do everything Wink

Couldn't agree more.

NEM may already have ended

Panic!! Spread the obscure FUD (bonus points for bad english, since it confuses people even more).

Sell your NEM stakes for $500 a piece, so the Chinese can buy them up!! From the same people who held Bitcoin hostage, Chinese fudders coming to an theatre / alt coin near you!

LOL, it feels so good to finally be able to delete stupid troll posts.

Please put a link to the NXT asset exchange section where NEMtokens are being traded. I can't find a single post within any NEM thread that has a link to it.

Done.

@xtester Outstanding job, Huge thanks! Cheesy

I can see both of your points. I really am not sure as this isn't my area of expertise.

The advantage the symbol you suggested is that it can't really be copyrighted and could be made unique for NEM.

Really I hope the community gets a good symbol.

Thanks, Jabo.

UP's concern is that NEM should try to create an original symbol rather than using something that is in the public domain. I can see his point, but so far no one has come up with anything, so I proposed this for now, hoping that it will spark some new ideas.

Tomoe.

There are lots of different versions. I think one with three colors to represent each value would be nice. Honestly, I know little about this kind of thing though.

I am okay with this being a symbol for the alpha for sure. At some point I would like to see the community vote to keep it or make a new one.
