well, how about that kid having 10 stakes? What will he think, when counting the money and thinking his living

Basicly we need a user friendly wallet. As I saw the first time NXT-client i was shocked about the colors and frames and thought I was back in 1989 playing some amiga-games ! Furthermore NXT client doesn't run stable at all. We would be silhouetted against NXT for example with a stable and fluently running client. So these should be the primary aims of NEM.

Nice logo, I like the detail that's gone into the design.  The tide is turning...

+1   glad to see that the first comment wasn't "I love these, I love that"

A point that concerns me more is, how are we going to be as a product? What value will be giving to potential users to choose NEM instead of come other coin. This would be the single most important factor in NEMS success.

- Can we provide price stability for merchants to accept it
- Would the wallet be user friendly and simple to use for an average person like me
- Will the wallet be secure from hacking, this could be a selling point ( most secure wallet)
- Energy efficient vs bitcoin is good but average users unfortunately would not care as much.
- Emunie type wallet where people can have unique wallet names(DNS type) instead of numbers would be good.
- Can the wallet be used in cellphone like M-pesa ( this could be important )
- Wallet containing some token coins would be nice enticement for new users

even with all these features we would be just a decent coin, NEM needs a killer app to truly become big.
What can we provide that the average user wants that no other crypto or payment system does right now?

good news

got 65 likes after 10 hours on fb, lookin good.

will start another campagne to get NEM more and more public

Please do try to activate people and try to motivate them on engaging in this community but please DO NOT try to do this by bending or changing the initial deal/rules and by forcing them to post anything not worth posting on a forum just for the sake of it.

I have to agree that no one should be scrapped.  Yes there will be a few fake accounts but it would be much more sinister if an individual or two were wrongfully cut out.  My close friend who has been buying and mining BitCoin for the past eight months thinks there is no value in the alt coins and feels bitcoin will simply absorb any valid competitive attributes, he had NO account on bitcointalk and I convinced him to get on here and help fund this movement.  When NEM launches it will probably be worth less or close to what we put in, so someone with 10BTC could buy 100 stakes in seconds after it hits the exchange.  The real focus should be getting the word out and not wasting time on this.

excellent point made by Shawn. We should instead do more in promoting nem

great  work

Guys have u heard of M-Pesa its a becoming huge. Maybe we can learn from its success.

 Why does Kenya lead the world in mobile money?
May 27th 2013, 23:50 by T.S.

PAYING for a taxi ride using your mobile phone is easier in Nairobi than it is in New York, thanks to Kenya’s world-leading mobile-money system, M-PESA. Launched in 2007 by Safaricom, the country’s largest mobile-network operator, it is now used by over 17m Kenyans, equivalent to more than two-thirds of the adult population; around 25% of the country’s gross national product flows through it. M-PESA lets people transfer cash using their phones, and is by far the most successful scheme of its type on earth. Why does Kenya lead the world in mobile money?

M-PESA was originally designed as a system to allow microfinance-loan repayments to be made by phone, reducing the costs associated with handling cash and thus making possible lower interest rates. But after pilot testing it was broadened to become a general money-transfer scheme. Once you have signed up, you pay money into the system by handing cash to one of Safaricom’s 40,000 agents (typically in a corner shop selling airtime), who credits the money to your M-PESA account. You withdraw money by visiting another agent, who checks that you have sufficient funds before debiting your account and handing over the cash. You can also transfer money to others using a menu on your phone. Cash can thus be sent one place to another more quickly, safely and easily than taking bundles of in person, or asking others to carry it for you. This is particularly useful in a country where many workers in cities send money back home to their families in rural villages. Electronic transfers save people time, freeing them to do other, more productive things instead.

Dozens of mobile-money systems have been launched, so why has Kenya’s been the most successful? It had several factors in its favour, including the exceptionally high cost of sending money by other methods; the dominant market position of Safaricom; the regulator's initial decision to allow the scheme to proceed on an experimental basis, without formal approval; a clear and effective marketing campaign (“Send money home”); an efficient system to move cash around behind the scenes; and, most intriguingly, the post-election violence in the country in early 2008. M-PESA was used to transfer money to people trapped in Nairobi's slums at the time, and some Kenyans regarded M-PESA as a safer place to store their money than the banks, which were entangled in ethnic disputes. Having established a base of initial users, M-PESA then benefitted from network effects: the more people who used it, the more it made sense for others to sign up for it.

M-PESA has since been extended to offer loans and savings products, and can also be used to disburse salaries or pay bills, which saves users further time and money (because they do not need to waste hours queuing up at the bank). One study found that in rural Kenyan households that adopted M-PESA, incomes increased by 5-30%. In addition, the availability of a reliable mobile-payments platform has spawned a host of start-ups in Nairobi, whose business models build on M-PESA’s foundations. Mobile-money schemes in other countries, meanwhile, have been held up by opposition from banks and regulators and concerns over money-laundering. But M-PESA is starting to do well in other countries, including Tanzania and Afghanistan, and last month it was launched in India. At the same time, operators in some other countries are doing an increasingly good job of imitating it. Some of the factors behind Kenya's lead cannot be copied; but many of them can, which means it should eventually be possible for other countries to follow Kenya's pioneering example
