Recent News Roundup #4
It has been a few weeks since my roundup #3 and I have a lot to talk about.
Since the last round up a news article was published about NEM in CT NEM - Right now we have the best blockchain in existence.
We have successfully undergone our first hard fork at block 199,800, but be sure it won’t be the last. Lots of more exciting developments are on the way.
Major upgrades have come to multi-sig via this fork. Here we can see a transaction where I am editing my M-of-N from 4 to 3. And it can also be seen that Oliver Queen and Felicity Smoak have signed off on the transaction but Harrison Wells and Cisco Ramon have not.
There are some nodes that haven’t updated yet. Please update if you recognize your name.
RB2 has updated his NEM Docker so it works with the current latest version of NEM.
There has also been a lot of activity all throughout NEM's Github and not just about new core features being added to NEM.
New sections have been added for test vectors and NEM Vanity Address Generatorand new life has come to nickel.
Quantum Mechanics has been working on some new projects for NEM. He has made a new paper wallet website and a tutorial to go with it.
He is now working on making a faucet that will utilize multisig for security. As the community has long mentioned that we are pretty excited about his contributions. If you would like to donate to him, then please send to NAMOAV-HFVPJ6-FP32YP-2GCM64-WSRMKX-A5KKYW-WHPY
As many people have complained in the past the original OP for NEM on BTT was found to be lacking. Part of the problem was that Xtester had been running the thread but then decided to leave crypto. He is doing well now focusing on his job, but that left us with nobody updating this thread or moderating it. Now he has transferred it to the account ournem which is an account under the control of the core team used only for updating and moderating this thread. We now have a new OP so please check it out and give us feedback. In the OP there are two infographics that are new which were made by Mixmaster and myself that the community gave feeback on.
We are looking for more videos and infographics so please help us out. Microove has recently decided to also make a new Bitcoin vs NEM infographic and here is his last version. Please give us some feedback on what you think and how it might be improved.
Two weeks ago I recently did a one hour presentation in Seoul to a bitcoin group that went well. It was recorded and feedback given by NEM team members and I am considering making another video at some point.
Two weeks ago Makoto also did another one hour presentation in Japan (in Japanese again). Another past presentation from a month ago has surfaced on Youtube of him speaking in English.
There is an ongoing proposal from the Community Fund to fund Crypto Apex’s new fiat <-> XEM exchange. They will work with a bank in the British Virgin Islands and are planning on having XEM traded with dozens of different fiat currencies. A community vote is underway by POI, the first such vote like this ever. If you would like to vote please send a message for yes to NAL332-F3WCCI-O6NHXS-G3BULU-HZR4OU-OFWJGO-HHQF saying "I support this project." If you would like to vote no, then please send a message to NAT62Q-S4IT65-6MJ2U7-2NZZSC-NRBH3R-T2YN3T-5U4O saying "I do not support this project."
The voting will finish tomorrow and if the proposal succeeds then the Crypto Apex will submit a more detailed proposal to the NEM core team (Crypto Apex members on the core team will be excluded of course) and then the core team will vote on whether to carry the proposal forward or not.
More information can be found here about Crypto Apex here and about the Community Fund.
There is also now a NEM Drive folder on Google Drive. This folder contains lots of official NEM material and marketing material as well as other files that might be hard to find as they are scattered about different websites.
Looking to the future, the developer Gimre gave us a peak of NEM Mosaics.
I’ll try to explain a bit about this quickly. Mosaics is the asset creating feature on the NEM blockchain that goes together with Namespaces explained here. Mosaics are assets that can be customized by the following:
Divisibility – Up to 6 decimal points.
Quantity – Either mutable, fixed, or capped.
Transferability – Asset can be locked into only being traded with the creator and the first person it was sent to, or it can be transferred to anyone.
Descriptions – An explanation about the asset.
Packagability – Assets can be bagged together with other assets
Name and Namespace – Assets will be a part of an advanced naming system on NEM
Data – Assets can be sent with messages
With many more plans for customizability coming in the next version, we believe Mosaics will be a powerful blockchain feature. It will allow for asset creations on NEM that are not just used for IPOs, but will be able to be utilized by businesses with real apps using the Mosaics as a part of their daily business model and transactions.
Meet a Nemster
And finally, here is a little highlight about a Nemster, a new thing I am starting with round ups and nice way to end the round up. Who? Well, I guess the best place to start is with the person writing this round up, me.
My name is Jeff McDonald and here is a little bit about me.
Q: How did you become interested in blockchains and NEM?
A: I am working in South Korea as a communications professor. I often send money back home and had been doing it with bank transfers that ended up charging me a lot of fees. That was until I discovered Bitcoin. Since that day I have not ever not sent money back hope for a loss, always sending better than the official XE.com rate. I did this by timing my buys and sells well and watching the market for good times when the price is low in South Korea and high back home.
From there I got fascinated with Bitcoin but came eventually to see many things with it that made me doubt it to some degree as a long term solution, many of the problems which were being addressed by NEM, so that is how I found my way here.
Q: What are your hobbies?
A: I like flying trick kites at the beach, exercising, and meeting my gf.
Q: Please describe NEM in 3 to 8 words?
A: Tomorrow’s blockchain today.

hahahaha. that is pretty funny.
Makoto's pic makes me think he would mess somebody up. Mark's makes me think somebody would hit him and take his sword away.
But really, its probably better if we don't go posting pics of Makoto like this. It is nice to respect his privacy and I'd rather not have him turn into a meme.

Never thought the NEM developers would be public. Makoto looks like a pretty smart guy!
NEM probably has the best team in crypto.
Best "dev" team. Our marketing could use a little work.

Makoto is here
I left my job the week before last and am now a crypto nomad in Tokyo. I am sleeping on someone's floor at night and writing code during the day. I also have been meeting with companies several times a week, introducing NEM and my project. ^^
Hang in there, you are doing great and have my full support.
Ignore the trolls!
