any particular reason the price is going up? is it on any sort of news?

The white paper was released and probably the fact that the price was way too low. Especially when compared to the asset price now that things get delivered.

wtf delusion of grandeur have to do with it?

you're best reply is it isn't a big flaw because one particularly exchange at the point hasn't taken full advantage of the flaw, wow just wow  Shocked

there's very much a serious flaw in NEM if exchanges stake. also movements in and out of xchanges give them an unfair network advantage.

so what the net benifit, purpose to NEM? to replace the greedy fiat banks with greedy network participants?


ffs revise your math before going live  Lips sealed


I think the biggest problem is people trusting so much exchanges.

If everyone leaves his coins at the exchange, no matter what algorithm we are using, the exchange will be the strongest player.

The solution is not changing the algorithm, it is developing a p2p exchange and educating people.


The problem is bigger than centralised exchanges - it's the fact that people dont have confidence that most cryptocoins will hold their value. For any currency to retain and grow in value, people need to hold on to it. Otherwise, it ends up like the Argentinian peso or Venezuelan bolivar - with or without p2p exchanges.

yes rigel a proper usable functioning p2p exchange is the way forward and i'd go as far as saying is a crucial element in keeping cryptos on the decentralised path.

when pointing out some way of gaming the system or how someone could advantage themselves over the other players the debate centers on whether or not people will take advantage of, whether its ok for them too, whether or not other cryptos have the same flaw.......etc etc etc

however we should not be having this discussion because for a currency to be accepted and adopted as an alternative to fiat, then it should not have such an issue period.

a currency needs trust FULLSTOP, [i mean bitcoin suppose to be a trustless system, but thats just another way of wording you can trust it because you don't have to trust a person/company/gov etc etc trust in this opensource code (and the math behind it) {ok this in itself is a whole other debate}].

you have to design a alternative currency in a way that it can't be exploited by any party FULLSTOP or there is no point.

At Page 1 of NEMTechnical Reference:
    PoI is similar to Proof of Stake (PoS) except that it is not solely derived from the size of an account's balance.


The words "is similar to" hide POI innovation.

It's true though. PoI is a modification of PoS that takes factors other than just your staked coin balance into account. The number of changes to the standard PoS implementations probably warrants it being put in a separate category but the basic idea was still born out of PoS.

depressing when your importance slides  Cry do exchanges build up a bs level of importance on the NEM network?
You don't need to be depressed.
In Poloniex's case, they use user's fund in harvesting less than 25%.
(More than 75% is stored in cold wallet, and do not harvest.)
This is less than ordinary nember's use of xem in harvesting.
Perhaps, ordinary nember's harvesting might become higher owing to their not-doing-harvesting-fund in coldwallet.   

no exchange should be gaining POS coins from users funds  Shocked

It's pretty typical for exchanges to stake with their customers' funds. I believe most (if not all) major exchanges do this with coins stored in their hot wallets in order to get some extra profits on the side.

You know, this whole issue wouldn't be as much of an issue if so many NEM holders - and crypto coin holders in general (this isn't unique to NEM) - weren't so quick to move their coins to exchanges to dump.

For a lot people here it really is all about getting BTC to get fiat and nothing more - crypto's only a means to an end (fiat). Any coin (included BTC) is just a temporary bus station to fiat. Let's face the fact that this is the mentality, which is why exchanges have so much market power over crypto prices, whether they stake or not.

A ridiculous percentage of NEM ended up right on Poloniex after the initial distribution - lots of people raced to dump. I think it also reflects the low level of trust in crypto - lots of people have little faith that any of these coins retain their value for long and, judging from what we've seen in crypto the past two years, who can blame them?

I don't blame them. Looking at the all time charts for most cryptos on Coinmarketcap.com, you'll see that most of them look very similar. What usually happens is that the price goes up initially once the coin hits an exchange. Then what follows afterwards is a steady decline that tapers off once the coin is made irrelevant. People have come to expect this pattern for every new coin that's released so it has morphed into a self-fulfilling prophecy. Sometimes you might see a random pump or two in the middle but afterwards, the price usually continues to decline as before. Sad

RIP NEM.  Make exchanges rich and they dump free coins.   Shocked

its worse then that if exchanges stake, also you and i send coins we get fees, on the coins we stake we earn (at this point it seems no matter what I do my fees will always exceed my stake earnings, hold my network importance goes down, move or use i get fees).

now exchanges can use our coins to earn, but charge us the fees for moving, HUGE win win for them LOSE LOSE for genuine holders, all the while the increase their network importance, further more ripping the users off who's coins they are borrowing  Shocked

Seems exchanges will eventually OWN NEM  Cry

Let's face the fact that this is the mentality, which is why exchanges have so much market power over crypto prices to begin ith, whether they stake or not (expect more to stake by the way as crypto trading volume continues to shrink on many of these exchanges and they look for ways to raise more revenue aside from trading fees)/

Dear @Kelsey.
Why don't you found your own exchange and conquer the NEM?  Wink

because not all of us are here for the fiat, some surprisingly enough want to advance/create a true decentralised p2p currency. funnily enough with that goal in mind why would i want to enhance centralisation in cryptos; eg start an exchange.


why reply only at schoolyard level rather then debating the real issue.


Very serious at light joke. Cheesy

The largest NEM exchange Poloniex harvested only 66266 xem until now.
Is it much?
It's less than the trading fee I 've paid in Poloniex.
 Furthermore, Polo does not harvest at present.

I gotta say

These guys coming on the thread with all this
NEM rip
Pat is Up

It's funny, these, goofs

I just hope the all the newbies to NEM realize that there are always those characters who are, well, goofs, and only making lame attempts at FUD.

After awhile it gets annoying
But I've been gone for a bit up until lately
So it's still kinda comical because it's just so outrageous. What tools lol

I heard it has been confirmed that patmast3r is Utopian. Seems logical. There is no way UP was just going to disappear.





at the time i have talked with UP and he knew i am talking german and he talked to me in english. With patmast3r i am talking in german. Sure, he could have planned to speak english as UP, but I really do not think that UP is Patmast3r...
