2) other coins do have multisig, but not blockchain based multisig. there is a MASSIVE difference.

Really? Then what is this?

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Address#Multi-signature_addresses

I am not the best to answer this, but I will give it a try. With Bitcoin, each service has their own multi-sig adaption; that they have to run extra software that they design themselves on top of the regular Bitcoin client. Coinbase does it there way, GreenAddress does it there way, and Bitpay is doing it their way, and so on. As far as I know, I can't just download the blockchain and run a Bitcoin client on my computer with a general multisig feature all by myself. So if I want multisig in Bitcoin, it means teaming up with a third party (as far as I have seen, please correct me if I am wrong). Further more, if I have my coins in any of these services and they go down, my coins are stuck. For this reason each of them offer open source support software on Github but its not the type of thing a regular person would be able to understand or use. It'll take a real techie person. You could probably do it for instance, but I couldn't.

At NEM it is different. Any third party can build on NEM and build on a multisig feature that is shared by all. I can make a multisig account on my computer all by myself with no help from a third party, and then I can throw my computer away and disappear in a cave. But if you are my cosigner on that account, you can now initiate and send from that account no problem as long as you get the other cosigner(s) to sign.

So all of a sudden multisig accounts can be made here, and operated there, and even multiple third party apps built on NEM can all be a party to the same multisig transactions. Say for instance you use NEM asset exchange webpage to make a multisig account. I can sign a transaction on my mobile app made by my friend, and somebody else can sign it on the desktop app made by the core devs, and so on.

NEM = Nothing Ever Made

You forgot to switch accounts, nutildah.

Here are some tips for trouble shooting.

What I did was go to search in windows. Type "Java Config".

In the Java control panel click "view". Then delete all the things related to NEM.

Then navigate to the NEM folder and delete the whole thing. C:\Users\user name\nem

Turn off computer and restart. Download the database file. http://bob.nem.ninja/nis5.h2.db-11772.tgz

Also download the stand alone version from http://bob.nem.ninja/ (I had to unzip it and then unzip it a second time)

Then start NIS in the stand alone. Then NCC. Then close them both down. (open the folder called "package". click "runNis" and "runNcc". If you do this correctly some command prompt boxes will pop up and be running code)

After 30 seconds close the NIS and NCC.

New NIS and NCC folders were created. Paste in the database into the NIS folder at C:\Users\user name\nem\nis

Do not put any old wallets in NCC. Just make fresh ones when NCC starts.

Restart NCC and NIS on stand alone.

Go to http://localhost:8989/ncc/web/index.html

What was the big deal about multisig anyway?
Im not sure why the devs wanted to add this before launch, I would have been happy to wait for it to be added later but it is a good feature, but i should also mention that there are other coins currently already using it.

1) devs will be in control of a huge amount of coins and do not want to risk holding them in regular accounts.. 1 hack = devs lose credibility and nem dies.

2) other coins do have multisig, but not blockchain based multisig. there is a MASSIVE difference.

3) the more skeptical investors, or risk averse, will feel much safer investing in Nem knowing they can secure their investment safely with multisig.

4) 3rd parties(exchanges, payment processors et al) will be able to use multisig to secure funds so we wont have any mtgox, bter, bitstamp [and so] type hacks which make the coin stolen look bad even though its nothing to do with the actual coin(most of the time). also we wont ever end up in the position of nxt having to think about a roll back to recover 5% worth of coins that got stolen.

having multisig ready for launch was the BEST move the devs could have made.

Great post. It answered all the questions I didn't realize I had

I especially like #4.

No one cares about innovative features, the fact is this coin is a rough copy of NXT, even the UI is the same. So what about the people who paid real money for this coin and are being treated like they are spoilt children for asking for what the paid for ina reasonable time that was promised. Leaders of coins hold all the power due to being anonomous and can really do whatever they want. Sadly not one single apology has come out of the leaderships mouths when pushed for promises to be kept...not one. New Economy? More like more of the arrogant same to me..

of course :-)
and bitshares is surely also a copy of NXT, hu? A yes. And Bitcoin as well.
The Nxt team build the software already in secret and satoshi stole their code... what a scammer...

If I didn't have a fucking clue and spoke shit English I probably wouldn't bother making comments. Clearly you feel differently.

No other argument, than blaming a german to speak no perfect english? Pity!

Edit: O my god, I even wrote english without the capital "E", how dare me...

I thought I was being nice focusing only on your language skills because what you actually said was so utterly fucking stupid I didn't want to embarrass you.

get a life you loser.

I really like the new address book.

I saw a couple of things that I saw on the previous version that I thought could be improved. I put in messages in Github and now it is updated.

I am really happy with how the labels work through out the client now. Very useful!

your right it could have launched soon. But then the devs would have been holding large amounts of funding with out the ability secure those funds with multisig. What would happen to nem if those funds were hacked or lost? The devs are simply trying to ensure the longevity of nem beyond 6 weeks or months. A loss of any funds would be catastrophic for nem. It's just not something that should be risked if it can be avoided.

I don't know why this multisig feature attracted myself so much to NEM idea, but If I could have a word - I'm ready to wait another year, just to see NEM what this coin supposed to be..
All the best for NEM DEV team

The development of the NEM is great from the start.
