well i think people individually choosing taxation as an overall principle is nonsense. taxation should be based on common sense in any society. and avoiding taxation shouldn't be much of an issue if it were fair taxation. theres a potential that a protocol of all transactions like with bitcoins could be interesting to taxing authorities (way more personnel efficient, near full automation is possible, tax evasion would be more difficult)
i was wondering what kind of economy/society NEM could contribute to and if it could play a role in a society with basic income. this because i think crypto currencies are just one of many necessary evolutions toward a more fair/free world. basic income would be another. maybe someone here has some thoughts to share on this...
alternative currencies can be other than global in nature depending on what properties the currency has. if the "bristol pound" (complementary currency to sterling) would have been introduced as a crypto currency (with the same properties as the current bristol pound considering the locally binding aspects integrated into the crypto version) it wouldn't be global in nature but it would have a lot of the benefits that a crypto currency, global in nature has, like decentralizing power. just to make a more concrete point here.
anyhow i`m excited that after abolishing seashells as payment method a next step has been made here. cheers

A litter update: I just sent out the first wave of invitation to the waiting list. You could see the new column of waiting list invitation in a separate tab in NEM final stakeholder list https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AlidWok7hW0DdFRROFFGVUpwcFFXcHVCdGc0a3NuQVE&usp=drive_web#gid=6 ;
I do not invite any account with litter activity (less than 5 posts) and likely to be a sockpuppet. The first wave of invitations are sent to Priority 1 group (senior members with more activity or with likely more contributions). Given the number of stakes reserved for the waiting list, Priority group 1 is guaranteed to get a stake if they want and all of Priority group 2 are still very likely to have a stake as well.
The works on refunding list are almost done and now we are one step closer to the ultimate final stakeholder list. Stay tuned in the thread for more updates and the coming Alpha release. Thanks.

Announcement: On behalf of NEM dev. team I would like to invite qualified candidates to apply to the position of a marketing manager for NEM.
Qualifications:
- experiences with crypto currency communities.
- familiarity with marketing strategies of different crypo promoting group including Bitcoin, Doge, Blackcoin, Peercoin, NXT.
- good at English writing for promotional materials.
Requirements:
- can spend at least 20 hours per week on NEM related promotional tasks.
- can volunteer for NEM related works.
- being a NEM stakeholder is preferable (not necessarily one right now but should be one over the long-term).
- can formulate a long term strategy as well as individual promotional projects for NEM.
Benefit:
- This is not a temporary hire but you will be a member of NEM development team (while we can pay for specific tasks) and can benefit as such. You will work in association with me as well as other NEM core developers in our many future endeavors.
Please send me a P.M describing your relevant experiences and I will contact you for further interviews. This is very important position for NEM, so I expect the selection process will take sometimes but hopefully we will have the position filled before NEM alpha release.

I would prefer to set up this important position with two people, each half of the stake in the beginning, but may raising with good work.
That would ensure the expectations to themselves.
We would have a full time marketing with fully 40 instead of 20 Hours and also the most important thing I guess, is that two brains are much more creative in having ideas and finding solutions, than one alone.
All that together would give a great base for the best results, I'm sure.
It's not like that person will have to do everything without any help. We got many stakeholders that are (hopefully) willing to help puting plans into action that that person comes up with
I am looking forward to the day that stakeholders is getting crazily angry with the lazy and largely ineffective Dev. group that they will take over all the works themselves
It's a stakeholdes job to be disgruntled^^

How to understand the role of NEM core dev. team? NEM core dev. team should be considered only one group (albeit, an important one) within the NEM overall community- but not a centralized representative of NEM community. That means I would encourage NEM stakeholders to self-organize different teams/ groups that can operate independently from NEM core dev. team in a truly decentralized fashion, especially regarding to marketing and promotional activities. This I believe will increase the resilience, the diversity and the creativity of the network as a whole.
This should be considered a Prologue to NEM operation after the official launch, not that I ask the community for these decentralized activities right now - It is expected that we will fill the large bulk of all NEM necessary works (marketting included) up until our official launch, and probably extending until V1 blockchain completion as well.

Are we still in need of a good designer?
If there would be some development stake left and we would still need someone, I think we could really benefit in a lot of ways by having a very skilled designer with some solid experience.
There is a designer who created a great website for CommunityCoin in about 2 days, he's a pretty skilled professional designer with a serious portofolio. You can check the website and offer some feedback as to whether such a spot is still open or not. http://www.communitycoin.info/

Who is he? We do have a designer but for now he works exclusively for NCC design.
This is his website if you are interested.
http://www.markoprljic.com/
Don't know much about him, but noticed he was skilled and fast to help with the website for CommunityCoin.
Here is another link to more things he was working on:
https://dribbble.com/markoprljic
Update: I had some contact with him and if a spot is open, I can discuss the matter, see if he would be interested so we can set something up as soon as possible.
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.)

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

NEM in context of the discussion/initiatives of unconditional basic income: connected with this scenario value added tax should be the only tax in a future with unconditional basic income for everyone. how would NEM be a step towards transparent/fairer taxation? and would it be a possibility to link a crypto currency 1/1 to a conventional currency to enable a gradual transition towards 100% crypto currency with the goal of value added taxation as only taxation?
It should be realized that taxing is exclusive purview of a sovereign state, while cryoto currency is global in nature. I could not quite understand your question but my view is that the ascendance of cryoto currency means the decline of sovereign state monopoly power over its people's choice of currency and taxation.
Exactly, crypto-currency can help us break away from coercive tyranny of the state. This is why NEM is the "New Economy" Movement.
