I'm hoping xtester will delete those posts.

Please keep it nice and clean. If she reads stuff like that she won't be excited to help.

Nor will many other women whom we desperately need in NEM

I like your POI song, short and sweet. Good job!

Finally registered my token.  I hope to receive personal e-mail after NEM official launch. And I highly appreciate fact that your made client open-source.

Hi NEM friends. 

As a few of you already know KkotNEM (our favorite NEM cheerleader) has made a song about P-O-I.  Please listen to her video.  If you really like, you can get a copy as a ringtone too.

This makes me glad that we replaced NXT-ADD-RES-STB-DET with "an address to be announced".

It was decided like 10 pages back.  This subsequent discussion is rather pointless.  Not everything can be a direct democracy.  Besides the logo vote, everything else has been input consensus (arguably representative democracy as when you are inactive you defer judgement to more active contributors)

You have the choice to get a refund or sell if you don't like something.  That's actually rare as the developers often make everybody happy

Are we going to vote on the unclaimed stakes?

In a perfect world we could have a perfectly distributed coin with no unclaimed stakes. It's not a perfect world, though, unfortunately. So, the best thing we can do is try to turn a negative situation (having unclaimed stakes in the first place) into a positive one (using those funds to help further the development of the coin).

I don't think anyone here can say with a clear conscience that they are glad there are unclaimed stakes. I know I hope that everyone who invested in the beginning gets their stake safely in their NEM wallet when the time comes. Unfortunately, the crypto world changes at a rapid pace. Many people likely invested (since it was such a small, small amount so many months ago) and then completely forgot about NEM or maybe even gave up on crypto entirely. But remember, that was more than a simple investment. By choosing to reserve a stake in NEM, you became a part of this community. The goal of NEM is to have a community of people who actually believe in the ideas of what NEM represents. I don't think we are looking for people who just want to pump and dump to convert their NEM back into a few more BTC or, worse, fiat.

This is just my opinion but I feel like if you are not willing to be a part of the community, even after we are doing everything we can here (as volunteers nonetheless) to make it easy for everyone to claim their stake, then you forfeit your advantage of being an early adopter. Yes, we want to be accommodating to everyone who has an interest in NEM, but when there are thousands of people involved (and soon to be many more than that after launch), it is an impossibility to try and please every single person.

In these early days of NEM, we have an obligation as early adopters and believers in this movement to try and make it successful for the sake of everyone who is an early adopter who IS actively participating. If we bring in unnecessary risk to the system in the way of holding stakes for people for an unlimited amount of time, that is not fair to any of us and could itself undermine NEM completely.

Imagine, if you will, a situation in which NEM is worth $10/NEM. Suddenly a NEMstake is worth $10 million. By the time this happens, most of the initial stakeholders will have sold at least some of their coins off, and distribution will be much wider across hundreds of thousands if not millions more NEM users. By this time, there will be very few (if any) people holding 1 million+ NEM. Now suddenly you have people realizing they had a NEMstake, and we've been holding the unclaimed stakes indefinitely. Now you have people who have essentially artificially entered the market (because due to their lack of participation henceforth, they were not actually market participants and were not subject to the market pressures that caused everyone else to sell off or use their coins in order to distribute them to a wider user base).

So now you have people who never cared about NEM in the first place with more NEM than anyone else. They will either dump the coins immediately and take their multi-million dollar lottery winnings or, even if not they will have artificially high and unfair harvesting power due to their disproportionately high amount of NEM.

I just don't think it is fair to those of us who ARE actively participating and who will be building/securing the network from the beginning, to suddenly have to bend to the whims of stakeholders who come back to the party years later when they contributed nothing in the first place. To me, this goes directly against the principles of NEM in the first place.

Anyway, that's just my opinion. Would love to hear others' thoughts about this as well.

The someone else (or you ) with the same has tried 8 more times with the same IP. Are you using VPN, TOR or a proxy ?
