What do you think about a wallet like NXT, where you don't have to have a local file on your computer, but rather a user name and password.

From my experience it just makes life MUCH easier.

For example, I have three computers, and I can access my NXT account with ease just by simply logging on from which ever computer I'm using. If I have a sudden hard drive crash, it won't affect my NXT coins. I would love to be able to access my 1st gen coins from any of my computers, but the need of a local wallet just ruins that ability.

I need to reinstall my OS on my main computer. It's something that I would have done a while ago, but I haven't due to fear of losing my coins.

I've tried backing up the wallet, and trying to open it up on another computer. I've only tried two different times, but can't seem to get it to work. But again, it just seems like the NXT way is a lot more hassle free.

(The main thing that's slowing me down from wanting to even transfer my coins to another computer is the blockchains and the amount of memory that they eat up.)

Call me picky, but I'm not sure I like the forum redesign... What does everyone else think?

I wrote a NEM F.A.Q post on the subreddit if anyone is interested; is there anything I should add/change?

Well I agree with you there about the video, but I guess that was only intended for marketing purposes. What I really like about this coin is their professional and practical approach to gain widespread adoption of their coin. The key for them and most coins nowadays is marketing. Face it, no real coin besides primarily Dogecoin and Bitcoin has really gained public adoption of some sort. The first coin which secures a foothold outside of the crypto community will be most likely to succeed in the long-term. This is what I think NEM and Numus should work towards.

Guys have you seen this? https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B9jSTPeGZxgtakNnY0NwRjdsZDg&usp=sharing&tid=0B9jSTPeGZxgtTjVncFlmMmJ6LW8

Would be awesome if this coin would have USD/EUR for NEM market from very begining.

Ripple has been misspercieved and bashed. So much FUD has been spread that hardly anyone knows what's true anymore. It's also a more complex system which requires people to do some more research and most people just don't do that and simply decide to hate it instead.
I looked into Ripple a few months ago and here's how i understood it (may not be correct 100%):

Ripple is afaik decentralized it just isn't currently used that way by the majority of people. Currently it's more like distributed. The ripple client is a thin client that's why it relies on servers and that's why people say it's not decentralized but the truth is anyone can run a ripple server. The only difference between Ripple and any alt is that most alt-clients contain server and client. NEM will also support thin clients does that make it centralized ? I hardly think so. The consensus in the Ripple-Network is reached by validators I'm not sure how that works but I don't think it's relevant for this point.

Trust is something that could be an issue but if you look at the big picture it's not much different than with bitcoin or any alt it just deals with it in a different way.
If you buy bitcoins from an exchange you trust that exchange don't you ? Would you deposit money on an exchange that you don't trust ? If you wan't to trade on what's called a gateway in Ripple you need to trust that gateway in the ripple client. What most people are worried about is "rippling" which is a way more complex topic and people should read up on that themselves but I want to menion that you can disable rippling. You can also remove the trust again at any time.

Ripple is way cooler and more sophisticated than it's being given credit for. It could actually do a lot for the entire cryptoscene since it supports any form of currency but the crypto scene is to busy bashing it.
