I admit I didn't see it was restricted to 1000 tokens to begin with, my apologies. I do find the small number of tokens a bit strange given the size of NEM's user-base though.
I have a few questions.
Why has issuance been suspended?
How many tokens have been issued?
How many were issued to the dev/marketing team?
You have said there is no ETA for token issuance to be resumed, but perhaps the community can receive a best guess?
No need to apologize.
1000 is a third of all stakes. We didn't anticipate a demand higher than that and so far it seems we were right. 408 tokens are still there to be transfered to stakeholders which means 592 have been transfered to stakeholders.
Issueance is being halted because of multiple fraud attempts (some successful as outlined in the newsletter and a dedicated thread) and we needed to come up with a more secure way to issue tokens.
0 tokens were issued to dev or marketing team. Since the marketing team has grown a lot lately I can't be 100% sure about that. Maybe a few of them did request tokens.
We are close to resuming (discussed on the last page) but are still ironing out the details. My personal guesstimate is next week or the week after that.
This is from the Token thread.
For one. this says it was discusssed on the last page. and yes technically if was mentioned, but I wouldn't call it discussed by any meaningful sense of the word.
I don't think this is fair the way this is being handled. And I'm about to tell you why.
a. It's not fair because some people were able to receive their token and others are NOT.
It was said that 1000 would be issued if 100 people asked. It's a
LIE that it was a 1000
GUESS. The 1000 came from that fact that the other two 1000 parts were reserved for XCP and Mastercoin.
If 100 people ask for tokens on XCP or Mastercoin, well at least it was PROMISED that tokens would be issued on those platforms as well.
b.
A SCAMMER should only be able to hurt the person they scammed.They should NOT be given the power to hurt me too!!! This is what you are giving them.
Halting the tokens for a short period of time is fine. BUT IT HAS BEEN WEEKS!!! unless you are writing a damn program to issue these things, there has been plenty of time to figure out a way to give them to a real stakeholder!!!
All that happened is Pat got scammed by the oldest trick on BTT. (Pat I respect you for all the hard work you have put in and I dont' even know if you are paid, but either way you have held everything together, which NEM desparately needed with the UP situation, GREAT JOB, but I
highly disagree with you here as you can clearly see)
All that happened is the scammer made accounts that were close to the real stakeholders account name. That was it!!
This is very, very easy to fix. TRIPLE CHECK the name, and get on with it.
c. It is not fair if one stakeholder thinks that NEM has reached its peak value and can sell his stake and another can not. I'm not necessarily saying that NEM has peaked, but if one person or a group of lets say 408, or 100 or more people that wanted to sell now and wanted to use XCP or Mastercoin to do it,
they should be able to because others were allowed to do it.A WEEK OR TWO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE WHEN IT HAS ALREADY BEEN WEEKS TO FIX SUCH A AMATEUR PROBLEM!!!This is a clear example of one of the things that is hurting the value of NEM, it takes
A MONTH or more to fix simple things such as this!!!!
