I am not a NEM stakeholder but I would like to buy some. The problem is I am not sure if I should go through the trouble and expense of converting BTC to NXT in order to buy on the asset exchange.

If NEM is distributed in October and people convert their tokens to real NEM, where will the trading take place? Is there an exchange lined up?

Did the majority of stakeholders claim tokens? Just trying to determine the most cost efficient way to buy in. Thanks.

Hi,

I think it's generally worth buying a coin before the launch, especially if it's NEM.

Trading will take place on exchanges and we will make announcement about that at the right time.

If by tokens you mean assets on the Nxt AE, there were only 685 tokens issued so far, and redemption period(conversion to real NEM) is nearing very fast.


Thanks for the info Xtester. So it seems the majority of stakeholders didn't claim tokens, meaning there will be a lot coming onto the market. Normally I would think this means a high potential for dumping, but in NEM's case I can't see why people would dump after holding off for so many months.

I'm going to play it safe - I will buy 50% now on the asset exchange and 50% later when the actual units are being traded somewhere like BTER or Polo.

Do not wait for the release date to by your second 50%. NEM is currently being traded in NXT AE @ a much lower price than its real value. Actually the current value of a NEM stake should be in the range of 1200$ to 1500$, that is = 40,000 to 50,000 nxt per NEM stake. And at the release date or in a couple of weeks after release date it would easily reach 200,000 NXT per NEMstake. Keep in mind that there are thousands of bitcoiners do not invest in any alts before the release date. I personally have 3 friends that are waiting for NEM release date to buy in. It all comes to your overall investment strategy. For now just be aware that NEM will boom soon even before the release date.

Do we have to convert to NXT AE? If NEM is linked to a forum account it's still ok correct and stakes will be distributed?

There's no need to convert to Nxt AE.

Please have a look at this: https://medium.com/@xtester/nem-redemption-process-f90db6b10eef

is there any set date yet for the official distribution?

Sometime in the next 3 days as BETA starts in September after being delayed in August.

I thought distribution was from the 15-22 October


Yes, this are the dates we are aiming for. I think hopefully there will be some announcements and clarifications about this during the following days.

For the full release right? The BETA was supposed to be in September?Huh

I think you understand well that with all best intentions those were only raw estimates. When people ask about launch dates we have two options: 1) not say anything or 2) put some raw estimates on the table and mention they are not set in stone and could well me modified for countless obvious reasons. As I have said several times our dev team is working very hard to get things done, but with software development sometimes things take more then expected and we have to be conscious of that. So after we will discuss this with the dev team we will hopefully post some announcement soon.

Proof Of Importance? based on what?

POI is based on serveral things: How much NEM you have, how much NEM you are transferring to others, how much NEM other are transferring to you. The exact formula is not set in stone so far. That's we are a little vage how it works in details.

I would really like to see a third aspect which is how long the NEM client/node has been running put in the mix too.  This could help to encourage more people with smaller amounts of NEM to also turn their client on and leave it on in the background.  Hopefully someday the network will be supported by lots and lots of regular people.

Node Coin https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/closed-thread-590421 has gone with client time (one point per second) and spending score (one point per coin spent) and then which ever Node has the highest score is more likely to harvest.  I think this is good, but they are missing the "coins received" and traditional Proof of Stake found in NEM.  

Crypti has also added proof of merchant, which means that special merchants that register can get a discount on transaction fees.  By doing this, they can also be rated and won't be anonymous.  A trait that we actually want when buying something from another.  Basically as buyers we want to be anonymous and have our privacy protected, but at the same time we want the exact opposite for merchants.  We want merchants out in the open and their history and reputation easily known.  Basically, we want to know who we are sending our money too and what kind of person they are.  This power in reputation has been a huge part of the success of Amazon and Ebay and really should also be incorporated into crypto too.  

I would call this PoS^4

Proof of Stake - Money held in account
Proof of Spend - Money going in and out
Proof of Service - How long a node has been supporting the network
Proof of Status - Registering with the network and allowing a reputation status

Thanks for the interesting thoughts.

Sorry what will be different in NEM relative to NXT, besides the distribution? Some unique features?

This is what i wanted to write...

Sorry what will be different in you relative to the 100 people that already asked this question and got answers in this thread and on forum.nemcoin.com? Any unique skills?

But we're all civilized now so here it goes...

NEM doesn't use POS anymore it uses POI. There is no whitepaper yet but POI adds factors like transactional behaviour to POS to reward people that are important to the economy and not just rich.
That's just the beginnung though. Stick around to find out more.
