WANT TO BUY XEM

Any cool and trusted NEMster here, who will sell me 2,500,000 XEM for 1.4 BTC?

Probably not, but there is a difference between NXT and NEM. Nem has an Eigentrust system built in to the core.
This means that it is possible to have a P2P generated ranking system.
Like Ebay has. Which would reduce the number of thieves crooks and scammers.

I see Marketing is not in this list, and it should be #1 IMHO. #2 is product, things you can actually use NEM for. the AE is a great idea but I feel it has been accomplished quite well with other coins such as NXT so we should not make it our flagship product. I believe an open bazaar, charity work (which will assist with marketing) and the mobile app are important. As well as adoption of use for established markets.

I personally am a huge charity/volunteer nerd. I challenge myself each year to 100 hours of service, and each hour represents 5$. Each time I give $5 to charity or complete and hour of volunteer work I deduct an hour. ($50 would equal 10 hours deducted, etc...) And if there is a deficit at the end of the year I must pay that deficit to a charity. (If I have 50 hours remaining January 1st, I owe $250 dollars...)

I reached out to a developer to create an app (Charity Track/Calculator) where you could enter your own hours goal, and your own amount per hour (so you go do 25 cents per hour of your goal or as high as you want, in my instance $5...) And each time you donated to charity or did some volunteer work you could share it on social media (Such as Facebook app connection) "I donated/Volunteered at XXXX today click here to see how to contribute" or something of that nature.

You could track your goal (similar to my fitnesspal, only this would track volunteer hours/charity donations) and you could see if you have a deficit/surplus by your personal chosen date. And if you owed you could pay your deficit in BTC/XEM/DOGE/LTC or whatever currency you chose to a central system that would dispense it to the charity of your choosing.

I am not typing this out as a pitch but as a point that I think we need something innovative, something outside the box, something no one will see coming and hit it hard! And actually M A R K E T     I T !

We are currently taking the "We descended from giants" and building on old ideas approach which can work, but lets not be afraid to slay a few dark lair creatures and create something new as well. We are the New Economy Movement not the Improved Economy Movement.

What would you like them to be? 
If you haven't yet, come join us and propose projects, ideas etc. and help us make NEM something never before seen in the history of men! :-D


I believe that the first next step now is the publishing of the whitepaper.
Hopefully shortly after we are going to see mobile app.
Continuous strenghtening of the network, nodes etc.
Continuous refinement and adding of the features line n-x multisig, asset exchange etc.

Remember that by each day that NEM network and security isn't breached it gives NEM project validity.

So what are the next steps for nem?

Good feedback. 

Here are some links to tutorials for you.  http://blog.nem.io/nem-tutorial-list/  We are also writing more and will continue to write more. 

We are trying to also centralize all information around nem.io so that in the future it won't be so hard for people to figure out.

Also, the email may be in your spam folder.  Also, can you tell me your email provider?  I want to pass along all this information to the guy that runs the forum. 

Ah, and by any chance did you also try Gmail?

What's that supposed to mean to newbies?
I think you need to analyse the differences between Nem and other coins, what future developments is Nem planning compared to other coins and why is Nem better. ONLY THAN YOU DEFINE A SLOGAN.
There has to be a promotion/marketing team globally to try and promote Nem to trading business, shopping malls and don't forget about Paypal, Amazon and Ebay + you need news/media exposure. I can't even find anything about Nem in coindesk?
Take a look at this where you can buy your groceries with a cryptocoin https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11084189 and there are many more merchants https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/na-554412 It looks kinda stable because of there adaptations.


Also more tutorials are needed to give access to non technical people. Nem info is also all over the place (unstructured). You need to do your own research to find different types of info. On the website for example you can't even find a link to the forum or nodes. (By the way I still haven't received an activation email and there is no forum support to solve this issue!!)

Just my 2cents

Also, our current slogan isn't bad, but it isn't that good either.  It is more or less a generic statement that can be applied to any crypto, and isn't even said that well. 

It is as follows: NEM is a movement which aims to create a new economy based on the principles of decentralization, financial freedom, and equality of opportunity.

It might worthwhile to just think about some other suggestions. 

Here are a couple.

NEM is a blockchain platform being designed for service, speed, and security.

NEM - Because your time matters, your money matters, your security matters, and your information matters – Because YOU matter.

Please come by the forum here https://forum.ournem.com/general-discussion/change-our-introduction/ and give some feedback and suggestions for new ideas. 

Something that is short and strong that expresses a little bit more of NEM's personality would be nice. 

Yes i think this is a must...

We need Senior Members with a Sig like that, too

Thanks Dandruff!!!

You know how to make a point Vicodin.

Powerful companies spend years on R and D. Then they work for quite some time perfecting a prototype. Then it takes even longer to get to production. Then they actually make the thing. Then a marketing guru envisions the angle of the presentation. Then the masses hear about it finally.

This is the shortened version, but you get my point.

We are still at the prototype stage technically. V1 is not here yet.

Hate to say it, but NEM is not ready for prime time quite yet. Real prime time. Like your mom calls you up and wants to hear your take on this NEM thing. That prime time.

The team is solid. The platform is very promising. Real change can take time.

I'm writing this because NEM needs to be ADDING good people to the community if were really going to do this, not losing them.

Unfortunately, we all want it now. So bad we can taste it. But the team consists of some real professionals. We are all lucky they also have the wisdom and patience to know how long and hard the road to the spotlight is.

I read an article that liberland accepts bitcoin for support; how about we donate some XEM 

It is a great place for us to get a foothold and start the new economy.

Yes, first you have to like the group.  Then after a while they will approve you.  Then you can officially vote.  

Everybody please vote for XEM to be the officially currency of Liberland, and NEM their blockchain platform.  

This should be top priority IMO. Could explode NEM into public discourse.

I had to use a different email.  Gmail I think worked for me.

please try to set up multisig on bitcoin without third party services.

try to set it up on NEM.

ask which multisig has an easy to use API and has features like push notifications for signers to sign making life much easier for 3rd party devs to code unique apps on?

yes, Bitcoin has multisig, but will be hard to find cross platform multisig solutions in Bitcoin in the future. 

Bitcoin is also way bigger and has a ton more vendors and users, but for a proof of concept for a new 3rd party dev, NEM will be way easier to build on going forward. 

Even BTC has multisig! It's nothing special at all.

I do care, maybe too much. I am really hoping I am wrong but i just feel like we need more creative marketing and actually doing something and less talking.
