Thanks Jabo38... yes I started that thread!!! Seems no-one here or there can actually get the client running and synchronised on Mac OSX. Plenty of people who are on PCs trying to help me but no-one has actually told me they've managed themselves on Mac OSX, only on Windows or Linux distros. I'm not Linux-competent unfortunately - i also don't have the know-how to do a dual boot into Windows without original disks, I have spent some time trying but was defeated, similarly tried with Virtual Machines but no joy- I'm just a bit of a disaster when it comes to hacking things & relatively new to Mac too, my old PC is fully dead though so no chance to use that.
Anyone managed to get things up & running on Mac OS? Please let me know your tips!

Simply try the standalone version. All that's making problem on MAC is webstart.
Download http://bob.nem.ninja/nis-ncc-0.4.30.tgz . Should work like a charm even on OS X
This is a good idea for everyone that is having problems with stuff not starting or similar problems.

Thanks Jabo38. So you can't get beta to run on Mac. Neither can I. Can anyone?
Well..... At one point I did put Parallels on Mac, and then Windows on Parallels and that worked just fine with NEM. I did that while I was travelling. I have since reformatted my Mac and have a clean install, so no more Windows in Mac. I know that is a pain.
It must be possible for it to run on Mac because some people have it running on Linux. I tried and failed at that too. hahahaha
Now, I mainly just use windows on a desktop for NEM.
On my most recent try to get NEM on my Mac I couldn't get NEM to play nice with Java. It sounds like you got a little farther than me so I don't have any tips.
This thread might be of some help to you. Not sure if you saw it.

Like seriously ... for the 0.1 Nemstake I have, and the 0.2 I might try & buy on Thursday when I get paid... I've put in at least 10 hrs of work already. Like 90 mins-2hrs about 6 times.
Has ANYONE on Mac OSX got this working?
I have a problem because the documentation thinks it solves the problem by saying - "in Java, set security permissions to medium"
But it requires Java 8 & in Java 8, minimum permission setting is High. Adding the various websites involved to the trusted list makes no difference at all. I can't seem to sync with the network.
Java problems mean I can't use stand-alone version, & webstart seems to work nicely - i get the splash page, can make a wallet, log into wallet, but them get a yellow bar saying "NIS requires to be booted. Please open your wallet and boot a local node via the popup dialog or configure the auto-boot setting". From inside the wallet or from auto boot, I can just never seem to contact the network. I've added nemcoin as a port forwarding/triggering thing & opened the 7890 (see separate thread: https://forum.nemcoin.com/index.php?topic=2676.msg9336#msg9336 ) - totally at the outer limits of my abilities here but the guys thought I'd done it right...
To be honest I'm not sure - maybe the problem isn't Java. The main message I'm getting is Error 306 (when trying to boot a local node from inside the web wallet. Can anyone tell me what that is?
Various people have spent their own time trying to help me, and I really appreciate it. These are mainly devs/hero members who are on PCs and know how it SHOULD work. It doesn't seem to though. I'm not allowed to use the stand-alone version due to Java permissions lock-down, and the webstart version I can start NIS/NCC but when I try to boot a local node, either by auto-boot or from in the wallet - it never works...
instead of wasting the dev's time, is there anyone using a Mac who has actually managed to get their node sync'ed who can give me some pointers?
I'd be very grateful. Thanks very much if anyone can help... & to the devs - please do make smoothing the Mac process a priority. I know it's not the dev/hacker's tool of choice, but I bought this mac 2nd hand for music production, it does the job, i can't afford 2 computers & I'm sure I'm not the only one struggling with this...
Best wishes,
John ps first post as nembot cos I got fed up of my crappy BTT name "yippee" ha ha

A lot of people are having problems with Mac. I have gotten it to work on my Mac before but that was during the Alpha, not the Beta. Since the Beta, I couldn't get it to work.
On my Windows machine though it is just a simple one click install.

I sent an NEMstake for NXT address, now my name appears in the list of stakesholders in https://chain.nem.ninja/stakes/registered?
Then are good to go! Your NEM will go to the address you registered upon the Nemesis.

It's because I am a dumbass. I didn't pay attention to the "password" field at the bottom.

Late to the game, but does anyone have some test nem available?
100,000 NEM is on the way.
Received!
Do NEM coins need to have a certain age prior to being able to harvest?
I think harvesting begins after 24 hours of coin age.

PoI competition
Introduction
The goal of this competition to promote more active use of the beta software and to encourage people to try to take advantage of, and learn about the proof of importance algorithm by manipulating importance score through transactions to the benefit of the account holder. There will be some simple rules and guidelines that users will be required to follow but aside from some basic rules users are free to do as they like in an attempt to raise their importance. Upon completion of the competition, the winner will be rewarded with a prize of one NemStake.
Aim
The aim is for participants to raise their importance whilst retaining the most amount of the initial amount of nem that was provided to participants. For example, user A and user B get 10,000,000 nem. if both user A and user B increase their importance by 1% but user A retains 9,000,000 while user B retains 9,500,000 nem, user A increased his importance by 0.000001% per nemcoin spent where as user B increased his importance by 0.000002% per nemcoin spent. User B increased his importance most in terms of percent per nemcoin spent thus winning the competition.
Rules
- All participants will be given private keys that will open accounts that contain equal amounts of nem. These will be users “Primary accounts”
- Users are allowed to open as many secondary accounts as they wish.
- A minimum of 10 transactions must be made using your “Primary account” to be eligible for the prize.
- The submitted importance score must be on the “Primary account”.
- Any remaining “dust” in secondary accounts must be returned to the “Primary account” before submission of account data.
- Remaining dust that cannot be sent is excluded from calculations.
- Importance score of secondary accounts will not be taken into account.
Start date
This competition will Start Wednesday evening at 8pm GMT. If you would like to participate please contact me as soon as possible via PM to ensure your place and i will assign a primary account to you. I will then send you a private key Wednesday evening prior to the start of the competition that will give you access to your “primary account”.
Note: The nem team reserves the right to disqualify any participants if rules have been found to be broken.
Please direct discussion about this competition here
bump.. only 10 people signed up so far.. common guys thats 1/10 chance of winning a whole stake. you dont need to be a poi pro to participate.
Sent you the PM.
