It's not shocking. In my op it is the best possibility to handle the unclaimed ones.

that's shocking.. Soo many people kicked up a stink over the unclaimed and now that a solution is put into practice by the devs.. No one can even say thank you...

Just thinkin...maybe we should do as some suggested and burn only one coin.

3 999 999 999

and show this number everywhere instead of 4 B.

Why? Well everyones Granny and her dog is going to ask why it wasnt 4billion exactly.

And we can tell them the reason.

There just doesnt seem to be a clear majority wanting 8 billion which I think was the best idea.

These two polls are more polling-sampling than an actual vote.   If we wanted an official vote then it would had been like the logo vote, sending a private message and it being recorded on a public list.    Probably a single transferable vote like the Australian and Irish elections, due to the amount of options there can be.

I think it's too late to attempt something like this, given Beta is days off.  As well the poll only indicates marginal majority support for 8 billion.
I don't know if this has to be put to an official vote.  It seems like a lot of work for what could be a trivial detail.  So if it means we can avoid a long troublesome vote then I withdraw my support for 8 billion or any drastic scaling.

  

The best solution here is probably what we discussed prior to this superstition stuff and one that can't be rounded up to 4 billion.



We do know there is going to be 700-800 unclaimed stakes at this rate.    If we are concerned about people rounding up then the solution is simple:  3.8 billion coins.  Nobody rounds 3.8 up to 4.   They will round up 3.9 or 3.99, but not 3.8.    

3.8. also makes the superstitious people happy as 3 is an important number in both the west (Holy Trinity) and Asia (in Asia it means alive or birth) and 8 is a very important number in China.   so the 3 + 8 together could mean "the beginning of a prosperous new economy movement".


So it seems simple that you could burn 200 stakes, which would make every NEMholder wealthier through deflation, and the remaining unclaimed stakes (as per the newsletter #6) can be put in that investment fund if that is what ends up happening.

I think a first pole should be "Do we change the number of units? Yes or No"  

If people say no, it is over.  If people say yes, then we work on the number to change it too.

Did anyone read this ?
This thread was filled with the discussion regarding a longer redemption period for a week and now an announcement regarding that doesn't even spark any reaction ?

Let me post the direct link then: https://medium.com/@xtester/extended-redemption-period-d6e7ceaf3a53

I asked this before, receiving no response. When is the initial NEM stake redemption deadline?

Sounds like a good idea! But how is it to "lose" 200 stakes? Is it worth it?

Will NEM have an Asset Exchange like NXT?

I can't wait to buy some Assets.

I think if it were to end up somewhere then it would be on the asset page, not on the standard default page which is available supply.

Does gliss discount the NXT in the community fund? If the money is put into an investment fund, it is to be actively used, so I see no reason why it would not be in the marketcap.

That was the best compromise I can think of.     We can ignore the superstition but I think there was a plurality opinion between the polls that is not an advisable route as it could backfire.  I wouldn't want a coin if it had a supply of 666 and I imagine many East Asians may not want a coin with a supply of 4.  We may laugh at these things but it could be a deal breaker.

  It was already discussed, back when the issue of unclaimed stakes first arose, about burning X amount.   So burning 200 is a simple thing..

Is it worth it?  We know Gliss and I think to Gliss whether you put 700 into an investment fund or 500 into an investment fund, he would count neither in the available supply on coinmarketcap.
