Does any of NEM stakeholders want to run an exchange ? (and have some experiences doing so). I know Tristan (Busoni) of Poloniex, is one of our early stakeholder, Gravitons is as well but how about we are making a fresh one ?
+1 for making another exchange
I would not limit to one exchange only from beginning as this could result in monopoly and high fees
is better to have few exchanges from the start or if this is not the case then
it would be better to have one run by the community and not by a single entity
because it could jeopardize the NEM widespread adoption.
Some of us have been in discussion for sometimes. We could run it as a collective.
Dgex will add it really quickly I think. They also reduced their withdrawal fees to 0%. So that's cool.
It only takes too long to withdraw at Dgex.
+1 dgex it´s a good beginning.
From there we could grow to other exchanges.
No DGEX. I not like

I was just thinking about terminology...
'NEMcoin' or 'NEM' should refer to the currency.
'The NEM Foundation' should refer to NEM as a whole.
What do you think? I think 'The NEM Foundation' has a ring to it.
Edit: 'The NEM Foundation' was mentioned earlier, I don't take credit for inventing the name.

If NEM is going to make a wallet. Please make one good wallet instead of 5-6 wallets that confuses people which one to download like NXT.
Also make it one click installable.
I see this as a problem with NXT. There are so much websites about NXT and everyone promotes different clients.
It shows 1 thing; the community likes NXT and is working hard, that's why there are multiple wallets available. It's fun.
But I think we should use 1 easy to use client and promote that from the start. Then we can develop it to the wishes of the users.
I have had many complaints that people cannot install the client of NXT etc.

I agree that from start there should be one client immediately distributed with NEM
but we should not impose any limit to other developers do develop their own NEM clients.
I think that client development should start as soon as possible after client technology, features and design (look & feel) are defined.
Any one has ideas about the client?
How it should look?
What features should be included?
What technologies(platform) should be used to build it?
How should it work with the NEM core (web api or something else)?
Can we open some kind of debate (whishes/proposals) list about the client?

Somehow UtopianFuture has managed to find some great people. I think he will announce some plans when it is time for purposing some NEM for charitable work.
That being said, just throwing money around is not going to change the world. Efforts should be directed in a way that will have a specific impact, which is why I am suggesting a NEM cooperative where people can use NEM and the asset exchange in daily life.

I agree. Targeted giveaways/ distribution needs to be innovative but also practical. Doing charity on behalf of NEM is a good thing in itself but it should be only one part of NEM overall promotional strategy.

虚拟币新概念：印第安部落创建MazaCoin抗衡美钞
2014-03-05 16:59:01 浏览量：16010 关键词：部落 创建 MazaCoin
部落正在举行POW WOW庆典
比特币开发人员Payu Harris，也是南达科他州松岭印地安人保护区的一名激进分子，在去年他对外声称要率领自己的部落和美国政府斗争到底。
“我的家族在这片土地上反抗，死去，”Harris对福布斯网说，他的部落是Oglala Lakota族 “卡士达小巨角河之役里描述的故事突然间从纸上的文字变成了深深根治于我灵魂里的东西，我寻找如何帮助部落的办法，突然间我想到了有个办法也许能奏效。”
Harris的办法就是MazaCoin,是一种比特币的变体。Harris希望他的族人能够使用这种货币，以摆脱联邦政府，也能帮助部落摆脱贫困。具体的操作手段我们还不知道，Harris说服了部落酋长们使用这种官方部族货币。
2014年年初，Harris与Oglala Sioux部落经济发展办公室签订了合作协议，在发布新的MazaCoin之前，Harris先挖了2500万个MazaCoin，用作Lakota族的“民族贮备金”，在经济危机时可以使用这部分钱(比如Mt.Gox倒闭)稳定币值。初期会向部落里的商人和个人放出大量货币，以鼓励他们用这种货币参与贸易和投资。
本周一时候，部落发行了第一批MazaCoin，未来所有的交易都将用MazaCoin完成，部落也制造了500枚献给“Oglala Lakota部族伟大神灵、以及部族的繁荣和财富。”现在全世界都可以兑换这种虚拟货币，以后会发生什么只有靠猜测。
FBI专门电话联系了Lakota的酋长，告诉他不管是比特币还是其它虚拟货币目前都是不合法的，但是FBI没有吓到Harris，他正在教当地原住民如何使用这种货币。当地几家商店已经同意在接受货币的同时，也接受MazaCoin。
小编点评：日前，MazaCoin在美国各大社区开始大热，其在国外虚拟币交易平台MintPal上24小时成交额折合人民币达到了近600万元。

nice ,I am interested in。[email protected]
Too late for early stake. You have to wait till it will be launched and buy some then.

I really hope NEM will go to dgex exchange i had bought me 180 dgex shares 
March 05, 2014, 07:05:32 AM
What can NEM improve over Etherium?
Do you think having a base blockchain without features is more productive?
Or should we follow NXT closer.... I believe Etherium will be our closest competition.
I just hope we don't have high inflation.
Thoughts?

I think NEM is quite different from Ethereum. I feel like Ethereum is building a platform that will compete more directly with things like http://maidsafe.net/. Ethereum is also hosting a turing-complete language in their blockchain. It is still unclear to me how they plan to prevent that feature from being abused.
NEM, on the other hand, is delivering a "product" (the currency) and is focused on community building. There are also some clever things we're doing technically that will make it stand out. So far, I am very pleased with the development progress and the brainstorming of ideas. I think we are building something unique. And, the community efforts and support at this early stage of the development process are very encouraging.
Personally, I will be surprised if NEM doesn't eventually surpass NXT. And, if things break right, it could be much larger.
Thanks for the Response Jaguar!

With the sudden success of Aurora (even it if is a bubble), it is apparent that crypto needs to have an impact in the physical world.
From this, one idea is to donate NEM to start a cooperative village where people use NEM in their daily lives. This should be a remote area that is self-sufficient. Even if there is not internet access, we might be able to set up satellite internet infrastructure. I think that would be an amazing demonstration of how crypto could be used anywhere for secure, decentralized transfer of money.
Another thing to keep in mind is that we wouldn't want to interfere with the local culture of the area. I envision setting up some NEM access points (places with internet) and then people can go use those, with minimal interference into their language and culture.
The question is, where could we do such a thing? It should take a lot of time and dedication from people working locally in an area.
Some ideas are:
1) Bhutan. I think I have seen users from Bhutan on bitcointalk. We could set up solar satellite internet access in some remote village and have everyone in the village conduct transactions in NEM using iPads or something similar. There are some villages that are quite a few days walking from any large city and people are mostly self-sufficient. We would need to have someone local there to run things.
2) Japan. With so many people moving to big cities, there are places in the countryside that are extremely secluded and people grow their own food and make a lot of things themselves. Even in the countryside, though, there is ample electricity and cellular infrastructure, so people would be able to access a P2P network. Also, the government here does not consider crypto to be money and it is currently not regulated.
3) Ukraine. I know people that I definitely trust in western Ukraine near Poland (Lviv). There are some small villages in the Carpathian mountains that are fairly secluded from outside influence. The people I know in Lviv would probably be willing to help or maybe run this full time for us if we provided the resources.
These are some ideas, but as a community, it would be great if people could come up with ideas on how to establish a NEM co-operative. If done right, NEM could make all the major news networks and generate some great publicity. The more important thing, though, would be that we could help real people improve their lives, while respecting their culture (for example, people in a remote village could sell goods online using NEM).

Mokoto I guess u are referring to me
. Ok I like your idea, I thought about it and it looks very hard to implement. I have asked my friend (Tsel_bt) who works for the Ministry of trade and industry to see if something like this could be done. He is in-charge of setting small cottage industries in villages like the ones you mentioned. First of all, almost all farmers in Bhutan are illiterate or only semi-literate, ipads are sadly a luxury for most folks in Bhutan,they cannot afford it. The currency is highly regulated by the central bank and any alternative payment system must be approved by them. Lastly it would be an almost impossible transition for people who have never used the internet to overnight shift to using cryptocurrency as a payment mechanism.
That said, its still a good idea, I will get in contact with friends in the RMA( central bank) to see if it would be allowed. If we can get their approval we can proceed further.
Sounds great.
I think if we could do something like this, we would set up all the infrastructure based on donations from the community and charity donations from the genesis block. Doing this with people who have never used the internet before would be ideal I think, because it would force us to make a simple interface on top of NEM.
Another point I want to stress is that it would be great to do this in a way that is complementary and not disruptive to culture. Therefore, I don't think the government needs to worry too much. In remote areas, I think having a crypto-based payment system would be preferred in rural areas like that, because people could have access to their money when traveling and wouldn't have to travel with lots of cash.
The idea is to get crypto out into the real world and try to make a difference without changing local cultures.
There's a recently published report http://www.franceculture.fr/emission-le-magazine-de-la-redaction-monnaie-locale-monnaie-a-taille-humaine-2014-02-21 regarding two 'local money' projects based on LETS (Local Exchange Trading Systems) principles: one in the Basque country and one about to be launched in Montreuil (Northern France). A key aspect of the Basque Country local money is that it is seen as helping to strengthen the Basque culture (including its language).
Seems to me that NEM could play a similar role for the many regions around the world which have a LETS system in place and which want to retain/strengthen their identity/culture. NEM could also overcome a problem with all local money schemes, one which can hinder their widespread adoption in the particular region - they aren't convertible (either easily or at all) into the country's main fiat currency.
I made a similar post in the NXT discussion thread a week or so ago following a reference to LETS being a possible fit with NXT, but the subject hasn't been pursued any further since then so far as I'm aware.
