Topic: [NEM] NEM -New Economy Movement - No Envy Movement - Updates+Discussion thread - page 288. (Read 661499 times)

By contact details, I meant things like Bitcointalk link, dedicated email, other forums links etc. not your home address or personal email or anything like that!

If all goes well there will be a detailed announcement regarding this and other stuff this weekend.

I feel like I'm spamming quite a bit, so this is my last post!

I understand the size of the stake we'll each get is governed by the following formula:


What is the amount of NEM devoted to the development stakes?

Lol. Quite. The Samsung Gear looks like absolute trash. I guess we'd better wait till Apple release one, no doubt they'll set the standard. (cue the Apple hate haha..)

Check the first page of the thread, major updates are posted there. There's also the promotion board (linked on the first post), which is a hive of activity on the development side of things.

I was just mulling through some ideas in my head about NEM. Nothing really vastly important, just things to consider:

• Openness and transparency are both key factors in developing and maintaining trust with current users and new users alike. Therefore a page on the NEM website listing all the developers and their roles, along with their contact details and perhaps (although not vital, for privacy reasons) a picture too.
• Now, a lot of you are aware of the recent alt-coin boom, along with the strange KLONE project which plans to clone NEM as soon as NEM's source is released. For this reason, I think it may be wise to withhold releasing the source code for a month or two after release. If this is going to be the case then it is of high importance that (a) it's made completely obvious why the source is being withheld, and (b) when it will be released (perhaps with a big countdown on the website?). If both of these points are followed, then no on can accuse NEM of shady practice.
• In order to explain NEM to newbies, a host of media must be availble to them: Simplistic videos (<3 minutes, animation, easy to follow etc.), infographics favourably comparing NEM to BTC, professionally made video/text tutorials for installing and using the NEM client etc.
  

Any updates?

Some rule etched on a stone tablet dated 0000 states "Thou shalt not keep thy code secret "

I was thinking how we could exploit better that NEM community.  I came up with idea similar than ongoing logo competition, but instead logos people can contribute to community via making different kind of marketing tasks. Ads, banners, t-shirt design etc. And only the best ideas will be granted somehow.

I'm pretty sure that people will come with great ideas and in any case, whether these materials will ever used, it will rise awareness about NEM.

That's true ! i agree

+1 
I support

NEM will succeed because its trying to create a currency that has use upon its launch and a good community of people backing it. However I feel we as a community still need to be more active in helping NEM create a ecosystem for it to flourish.

I urge all stakeholders to be more active and join NEM promotion board in trello and think of ways to help NEM become useful as a currency, to think of ways to promote awareness of NEM and participate in NEM initiatives.

Please dont expect the value of NEM to rise without any effort on our part, just think how good it will feel if you played a part in creating NEM when  it turns into a huge success. my view as a humble stakeholder. 

The problem is that by the time they hear about Nem it might not be unique anymore, due to all the Nem clones using Nems source code. Bitcoin had years to establish itself before people started creating alt coins, and I think it would be good not to release the source code and build trust another way, before get rich quick developers start using its source and continuing this mess that crypto is becoming.

Good example right there. Someone creates a coin with the source that's used by hundreds of other coins. This coin works just like those hundreds of other coins, and could have an infinite amount of names to choose from. The developer decides to name it HongKongcoin, and now it has an insane hash rate because even though it has nothing to do with Hong Kong the country, the developer named it KongKongcoin.

People who haven't heard of any coins except Bitcoin are probably not going to be a problem. if NEM is the second thing they hear about and it's better than BTC (hard to deny that imho) then they'll like NEM

Nems uniqueness is not going to help it when it comes to people who have never heard of any other coin besides Bitcoin.

The new "mode" on crypto coins
Create a crap coin, connect it with some city or country (SpainCoin, Auroracoin), premine some coins for your target and launch it!

One last example: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=518669.0;topicseen

imo, this is though to create the illusion of distribution and a potential market to use it. That's what I am confident in NEM.

 

All those coins are trash, I wont buy any. NEM is unique with the most of individuals support, great Devs and many new functions. It should be a very successful coin.

All the altcoins are kind of turning me off to cryptos. I mean, last week there were 22 coins launched in six days, and so far 15 for this week. (Look at the calendar for last week http://www.altcoincalendar.info/calendar) Nothing new, all design to make the developers some quick cash. The only innovations are the names, and a story or gimmick behind the coin.

For example, off the top my head, I'll come up with a name for a coin, and a story behind it.

DiabetesCoin. DiabetesCoin is meant to help the millions of people in the world who suffer from diabetes. This coin will make it easier for them to purchase medicine, etc, etc, etc.

Or like this coin named HooliganPound, (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/pre-ann-hop-hooliganpound-first-shitcoin-to-get-beat-up-coin2-512033) designed to make the crypto world better by kicking out all the other shit coins.

I mean. That's why I think it might be a little better if we don't release the source code for Nem until it secures features and services. (For example, maybe a subcription website that only accepts Nem.) If only there was some way for people to trust that the people behind Nem are not up to no good. But that's just my little opinion. This post is mainly complaining about all these new alt coins.

One more point. I mined an alt coin and sent it to cryptsy the other day. And I was absolutely shocked when by chance I looked at my balance page two minutes later and the coin had already posted. It felt like an extremely convenient moment. So even though this was a shit coin, it felt a hundred times more convenient than Bitcoin, which takes an eternity to post.

So even though this shit coin just felt better than Bitcoin, Bitcoin is solidly at the top, and won't go anywhere anytime soon, because it's established with so much services behind it. So do consider holding back on releasing the source code for Nem, before making a good effort in establishing it. Else the clones might make it just another coin.

Nope - That's not what he is saying at all. What he's saying (UP plz correct me if I'm wrong) is that NEM is supposed to be a movement. An ideal stakehodler is someone that doesn't just sit on his NEM. Stakeholders are supposed to do as much as they can to help NEM. Talk to merchants, promote, develop etc. etc.
If you tried to play that movement you'll be refunded at get nothing.

Allthough it's true that you don't own any NEMs right now. Noone does because they don't exist yet
