I'm saddened to see this thread hijacked by finger pointing, defamation, and otherwise unnecessary and nonconstructive 'mudslinging'.
I think that NEM's core team has done a fantastic job and is continuing to do so with regards to NEM.. I'm saddened to see them dragged into the weeds on this thread (both in that they're getting dragged in and that they're diving in head first; it's a two-sided coin) -- they have better things to do, and reading over some of the discussion, it reflects unfavorably all around.
There are clearly some differences of opinion here, but rather than lengthy discussions in the main thread, perhaps these can be taken to an IRC channel, the NEM forum's chat, or another more direct avenue better suited for the level of engagement and scale of these conversations? May I alternatively propose a poll to resolve some of this? Anything to wrap it up in a civil and expedient manner.
Regarding /r/nem -- I would love to see that as an official channel, though I TOTALLY agree that it needs shared / official administration. Okaynow -- I get that you're trying move NEM forward, but we need to work together. From the perspective of official reddits, /r/nem would be the preferred official subreddit as this is consistent with other cryptocurrencies. Perhaps you could open an alternative site such as /r/nemcommunity for a community based subreddit? I feel this would be a perfect solution in making /r/nem official and making clear that your reddit is community based. I also suspect you could discuss the 'space' that each reddit would occupy to minimize overlap / conflict. Let's not point fingers, but work together - you're all active contributors and I hate to see bickering like this between people who are aligned in the goal of making NEM a success. I love that you're being proactive and engaged, let's nurture that and come to a mutually agreeable solution.
Personally, I'm less concerned about multisig on the donation account SO LONG as this is clear -- perhaps you could mention the funds are in your trust as a disclaimer when asking for donations.
Just my 2 XEM.
I agree for Reddit, r/nem is the better choice for the official subreddit, but it seems Okaynow doesn't want to give up sole control.
I really would like to see this resolved as I feel a strong Reddit presence could really push NEM higher and get lots of collaboration projects going. This outlet was crucial for Doge's marketing success.
Also, is there any way to know the distribution of wallets like this:
