When can we expect the next version of the development plan? Smiley

Shamefully bumping this. Also, did I read somewhere that there'll be an update regarding the size of the development stakes etc. this weekend? Smiley

No ETA on updated to the dev plan but I'm not sure there'll be one because I don't think it's necessary. Alpha is due sometime in april (If I remember correctly) and there'll be a whitepaper for POI.
Something specific that you'd like to be updated on ?

Well I said If all goes well there'll be an announcement Wink. Unfortunately we couldn't finish everything that's needed for that announcement so I think UP said it'll be next week or even during this week.

So, does anybody selling accounts? I'd like to buy one if it's permitted. I have only one stake for myself, so having another would be sort of fair distribution.

I'll sell mine for 10 billion BTC and your first-born child Wink

That's one measure. Unfortunately for you, we do have some more new measures such as taint analysis + activity analysis to detect people with many accounts. I would consider applying them retrospectively is similar to applying DNA testing to samples from raping cases occurred before the invention of DNA testing. In both instances, they are quite useful, don't you think ?  

J23a,

There it is.  THOSE  are Utopianfuture's words. So by being worried about Utopianfuture's threat I am now accused of being a sock puppet ?

I also have to stress that i think the key isn't in just distribution or the fear of dumping, but also in making sure we have ACTIVE stakeholders who are prepared to donate a portion of their NEM to community promotions and other initiatives.

This is the big problem with NXT right now. In order for the idea to succeed in such a competitive market, it'll take community effort to make NEM stand out. This also means, imo, getting NEM to have some presence on the deep web as well as more legit retailers.

I will be donating NEM for a forging system that runs on the Raspberry Pi, waiting for some NEM and waiting for that RPi bounty to be listed.

Funfact: NEM will probably note use the term forging as it is connected to POS and NXT. If you read some of my posts I already used the word foraging (i guess people thought it's a typo) Smiley
Not sure this is final though but I like it.
I think it sounds more interesting and more welcoming

Good. I always thought that term sounded shady anyway.

@dgex_victim (no quotes because that would fill a page Smiley)

UP plz correct me if I'm wrong here. I might have missed a few things earlier on in the registration process...

I wan't to give my perspective on the matter as well because I wasn't involved when NEM started but I am now especially with the taint analysis and the stakeholderlist.
First I want to say to so far NOONE has been kicked from the list because of sockpuppeting. That's what the audition is for which is still ongoing but I think it'll be finished by next week.
I also want to point out that noone will be kicked willy-nilly. Every one will  be given time to make their case. Additional to that we're only weeding out people with more than 5 stakes which is imho already generous. Also we're only refunding additional stakes. This means that people are not even being kicked out of the movement they just get their money back for additional stakes and receive only one stake (plus the sockpuppets we didn't find Smiley) so I don't think we're stopped attracting newbies by kicking out sockpuppets.
I can't comment on the retrospective part because I was under the impression that the disclaimer about the dev team to refund if they feel someone is being unfair has been there from day one.
All in all I think the process is very fair. It has absolutely not been ideal and some people may get out of it with a bad feeling but in the end we're going to have a community where everyone has relatively the same amount of NEM and that was the goal. Rule changes or not that's what matters imho.

If you'd like to discuss this further I think we might wan't to move it somewhere else since this thread is currently still the main source for updates and it turns people off. We can totally keep it public I just think this thread might not be the right place anymore.

patmast3r, thanks for not dismissing me as a simple troll deserving of insults and nothing else! I agree with nearly everything you say, and I can obviously see that NEM is trying to be fair, and I appreciate utopianfuture's efforts.

Thanks also for the offer to continue this discussion elsewhere, but I've had my say, and I'm over the sockpuppet issue.

I will say that the original NEM post was edited & changed so many times, so when exactly the 'disclaimer' was included I'm not sure. I do know it wasn't there in the original post, and my belief is it was included sometime between the 26th & 29th  of January.


I believe UP started to appreciate the sockpuppet problem when he wrote this on 26 Jan

So I saw an attempt to accumulate NEM stakes by one person making 5 accounts in the same manner https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic ... msg4750698 which somewhat goes against our egalitarian principle so my first instinct is to refund him the money and allow the sockpuppet only one stake.

But I realized it is explicitly said in the front page that multiple buy-ins are allowed. So I added a qualification in the front page "the development team reserve the right to refund you the money if an effort to unfairly accumulate NEM stakes is discovered"; however this qualification is added retrospectively so I think I would have to let Mr. sockpuppet to keep all of his 5 stakes if he wants to.

I want the community input for this decision.

And he probably added the 'disclaimer' around the time he made this post on 29 Jan.

Thanks for all who support NEM. This post is page 80 cut-off. Please check the front page because a counter- sockpuppet measure has been introduced.

" Counter sockpuppet measure: Sending address could be checked and if there were already two payments made to NEM's addresses before, then the third payment would be considered donation. This measure comes into effect at page 81 and does not apply retroactively. So DO NOT SEND the fee to NEM from an exchange, you would need to withdraw to your account first. Thanks for your understanding. "

In addition, meme promotion for stake spot is temporarily stopped. But remember that NEM still love memes.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4809186

The line "Please check the front page because a counter- sockpuppet measure has been introduced." does indicate that UP changed the first post on 29 Jan, so that's when I think the disclaimer was included

Utopianfuture might know when he added the 'disclaimer'.

Either way, there was a grey period when sockpuppets were allowed. There are a whole bunch of UP posts where he's talking about why sockpuppets should be considered ok, but they've all been disowned, and replaced with the 'but now we have new DNA profiling type tech so sockpuppets have ALWAYS been fraudulent .....", which is the type of spin I'm disappointed by.

Utopianfuture should be above that sort of stuff, "read my lips, I did not condone sockpuppet relations with that woman ... NEM Lewinsky".

I want to say that not everyone who isn't active is sock puppet. I asked a friend to join and paid for her. She never posted anything here after that, but with 11K twitter followers and a website and top 50 c4s store (that is clips4sale) anyone can confirm she isn't me Smiley

She has coinbase account and (minor) understanding of crypto, but she can be asset in promoting the coin once she understands Nem is real project and worth something.

Just making sure you guys consider that not everyone inactive is a sock puppet.


What's her Twitter address?

Inactivity isn't even being checked unless an account turns up during taint analysis. Good to know we have a minor celebrity around Smiley

I sometimes visit this thread but there hadn't been much lately.. was never much new cept logos.  I was a lot more active early on.  I gave some advice early on, showed utopianfuture how to save a full thread at once to check for people who might try to change their post in an illegal manner.  I come back 100+ pages later and it seems like the same argument.   Frankly it is a bit sad to me.  You guys were talking about wanting from people out of the crypto world joining, now you seem to want to banish them if they haven't been actively posting on their account they had to get to sign up on.  I was messing with NXT but I was a bit disheartened by some recent occurrings and come over here to see how NEM is coming along.  I wish I could say I feel better  Unfortunately it is more of the same...  


Yes you're going to get a lot socket puppets weeded out..  I wonder though, is it worth it to get rid of 10 socket puppets from 1 guy if it means catching 2 legitimate people that were told by their buddy to sign up ?

I encourage you to come more often again and to look at the trello board. Honestly your timing is dreadfull as this new round of discussing socks just came up yesterday. Until then it wasn't like that anymore Smiley

Look NEM in essence is about equal distribution of wealth to all stakeholders, do you honestly think UP ever intended for people to have multiple stakes even in the beginning Huh I think not.  You are basically saying dont correct a mistake even when we all know it is a mistake due to some minor technicality.

A good audit will only enhance the reputation of NEM, whatever u think.  Calling UP dishonest is very harsh, he is trying to give every one an equal opportunity, I don't think u will find many people opposing that.

That person who claims to have 90 stakes, if you support him on a mere technicality, when he even admits to gaming the system blatantly then u are either crazy or a robot without the capability of using judgment.

I've visited here every couple weeks to see how much closer we are to getting a wallet released.  I thought that having a third wallet to go along is my Dogecoin and BTC would be cool. Now I am seeing that if I don't actively login and post anything I might lose out on my investment. So let down.
Where are you seeing that?

Utopianfuture just said he was going to decide sock puppets by activity and since this account is not active and I do not directly post with bitcointalk then I would likely lose my investment?  what am I not understanding?
