The /r/NEM link was removed from the NXT subreddit sidebar... What did we do to deserve this?! Cry

actually I can clarify this.

I am a mod at /r/NXT and I posted a thread on the nxt forum asking what should be changed. And all people there said NEM is clearly distancing themself from NXT so there is no reason whatsoever to link there.

Do you disagree?

Well /r/NXT is still at /r/NEM so I think we deserve to be at /r/NXT as well, but seeing none of other cryptos are at sidebar of /r/NXT I would certainly not insisting

NEM should be on r/NXT.

I put NEM there, but I understand why the NXT majority wanted it removed.

i want to learn java but i want to stay clear away from the "w3schools" types of sites where half the shit is just wrong or not the "optimal" way to do something... :/

Why do you want to learn Java? What do you want to do with it? Java is a "safe" language, but it's not always the best choice.

i had an idea! (again) lol

have a competition for news outlets (bitcoin magazine, coin desk, cryptocoinsnews ect)

prize of 1 stake split 6:3:2 = 1st 2nd 3rd place

for best article written and published about what nem is, the amazing work going into nem, and where/what nem plans to be in the future.

we could use the new marketing guy(s) or a dev to do interviews with the news outlets to give them a real indepth idea of whats going on!

the upside is these news outlets will them have a fair amount of nem and want to post more articles to help spread the word about there new investment

have links to all the articles posted here so that everyone(only stake holders to prevent gaming) can bote on the best article.

the article must be tweeted also as a requirement for entry into the competition!

thoughts?

I think setting up an email interview between the developers and a cryptocurrency news website is a great idea. They'd probably write an article on NEM regardless, without the incentive of a stake reward to be honest; they're always looking for new stories.

However, this is something to think about more seriously when there is a working alpha, or perhaps at release. Then the developers will have concrete facts to talk about and show off, including a whitepaper etc.

I definitely agree that we will need media coverage, but I would be somewhat cautious of "paying" for coverage because that could easily look like a bribe. It would also probably go against journalistic ethics.

I also agree that we should wait until the alpha

Hello Guys,

Haven’t been here for ages( for 3 weeks)…

There are any good news for us? Alfa or beta? Did I miss something?

Can I help anywhere?

Thanks a lot.

Here is a post that might be nice to read, and jump into some NEM updates.

i actually had an idea last night... can we get a multipool mining now? i mean launch the multipool now and let it build up the btc until the coin actually launches? the mining power it could draw due to the massive interest in nem would be huge! and plus if btc takes a massive run up again you will see the dificulty of most coins go through the roof again... why not build up some funds up.. if nem wants to drop a bit after launch let it.. then after the drop start buying up with the mined funds..? what you think?

Sorry to disappoint you, but ShareCoin has already implemented the idea. It has a working multipool even though the coins have not been distributed yet.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=588361.new#new

If it's any consolation, you can still apply for a free stake.

Yeah, they were pretty proud to beat NEM to the punch. Good for them. As long our multi-pool functions as planned its a big win regardless if we go first.

Best of luck to yours.

stole the friggin idea lol... dont worry that wasnt the full plan.. thats only 10% of the over all plan.. lol so im not worried..ha

Funny about two months ago, I suggested that we could have wider distribution by reserving some coins (anywhere between 10% to 30%) for miners, as longer IPO was adding nothing but sock puppets.

Regarding the auction and branding discussion, I think we need to push things forward with the marketing/branding process in order to really maximize the effect of the auction.

In this field it seems Blackcoin si making some real marketing moves.

We can learn from them and in addition to everything we have planned, create an investor's handout where we outline all the important info about Nem.

Here is an example of how that was done by blackcoin.(Download the PDF to evaluate the idea, see what they plan and what they are working on.)

http://www.blackcoin.co/general/meet-black-april-20th-2014-investor-handout/

Update:

- As it seems blackcoin has created a blackcoin card which has almost arrived. http://www.blackcoincard.com/

- Has signed a contract with Coinkite(payment processor) and is about to get listed on 1 June.

- Doing some creative marketing campaigns such as planning to go to wallstreet and inform people about their ideas. They are doing it in such a way to attract a lot of attention and create some real national/international news buzz : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.6455841

Thanks. I am reading up on their marketing. They are on the news as well http://cointelegraph.com/post/blackcoin_s_smooth_and_sexy_nyc_charm_offensive#.U2AMdvldV8F , anyway I think our community would find out our own direction at some point. For now patience is required at least until Alpha release.

So is the coin generation called 'foraging' then? Is this final? I'm not sure I like it... it's not a word suited to a highly technological platform. 'Foraging' brings images to mind of people rummaging in bushes or shrubs to find berries or something...

To me, a word like 'minting' sounds much better.

Quote

"A node can mint NEM at a rate according to the unique PoI algorithm."

I just think it sounds better. Has a ring to it. Thoughts?

+1

I cannot stand the term "foraging". I'm glad to see someone else has an issue with this.

"Minting" does sound a lot better, but that word refers more to the creation aspect. Qubic's Network PoW is like our PoI, and they use "Minted" to describe how Qubic's are created and "Providers" are the nodes.

Here are the two posts on this subject:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5850252
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5852350

At that time "Guarding" is what I came up with, but later chanc3r mentioned the word "Validating", which I like better.
"Validating" and "Providers" are good descriptions, but let's work on this and come up with the perfect name.

Please, anything but "foraging".

Yeah, the more I think about it 'foraging' sounds worse and worse... you wouldn't 'fish' or 'hunt' for coins would you?

Why would using 'forging' be a bad thing anyway? Every single PoW coin uses the word 'mining' despite differences in their individual algorithms. If 'foraging' was an attempt to be different than NXT then it's failed; it looks like exactly the same word at a glance.

I find nothing wrong with the just plain - good old fashion "forging".

Is there anyone else that would like to replace the term "foraging"?

I would not use "forging". Some people feel it familiar because its has been used before but I don't think it is a good word to describe the process. What and how do you forge exactly ? Emunie uses hatching; Maidsafe uses farming; Not sure peercoin uses what but saying "forging" is good old fashion is a bit premature imho as it has no relevance with the process it is supposed to describe.

Okay, here is amateur linguistic analysis: forge have two main meanings: the first is to counterfeit which has a negative connotation; the second is to form by heating and beating and hammering into shape. Now if you want to describe the process to a completely new comer and you say "I have been forging NEM all days". It sounds more like you are counterfeiting something. If the second meaning gets through, it also draws a complete picture like you are forging a blade or at least it indicates a transformation of the material during the "forging" process. You "foraging" and" harvesting" does suggest you picking up something already being there not a process of transformation even though now harvesting feels a bit more evolved to me. So "foraging" and" harvesting" are more accurate relatively to "forging" when describing the process of getting NEM as block reward from transaction fee.

You are right "forging" is not the exact word for NEM's process, it's just that personally most anything would sound better than "foraging".
"Reaping" it does sound scary. The word needs to describe NEM's process. I don't know what the word is, but I think it should be more modern/technical.
"Harvesting" is an improvment over "foraging".
