PoW fanboys will be coming running to the safe haven that is PoS soon.

by the way, does the "trust-less exchange, and client that can hold multiple currencies" sound just like nxt's multigateway and AE or is that just me?

edit: nem is getting bought up like mad.. Shocked

I think he is talking more about how altcoins are losing momentum.

tian:ncc c25519$ cd ~/ncc
tian:ncc c25519$ ls
instacash.wlt test.wlt test2.wlt

On Windows the path is c:\users\\ncc

@KimNg

Awesome writeup!

It's too bad that some people won't have an open mind about the logo and no matter people say they will just ignore it and only look at it from their point of view.

Please back up your claim that some people won't have an open mind. Either that, please read through the threads to know what have been happening. Don't just spill your guts all over please!

Thanks.

mining is so 2012-2013

BTW, I think NXT, Maidsafe, Ripple, and Darkcoin have all shown some pretty innovated steps away from the code of bitcoin. It is also no surprise that they are also the four on coinmarketcap that have veered away from the "coin" theme too.

Personally i found nothing wrong with the dev made logo, but then i also have nothing against the cube either. I wouldn't recommend people fret over what conspiracy nuts or religious nuts think of it.

I agree.

To me they are both "just fine". Either is okay.

Ultimately, I would like to see NEM get a great symbol.

Also, I really think we should refrain from "coin" shaped designs.

NEM will not be a "coin" but a platform, of which a coin is just a part.

For that reason of the logos, I thought the Zoro Z/M sign was the best.

When I saw it on coinmarketcap it clearly was one of the best logos.

Somebody proposed a N with two lines for the denomination symbol which is a pretty cool idea.

I think an artistic logo made out a stylized N could be interesting to explore.

Not sure if it would work, but at least we would be making our own path.

Everybody else has just copied bicoins name and symbol but adapted it a bit.

Pretty weak.

The move away from coins has happened with code, but not with logos.

It's just a matter of time. I see NXT, Dark, Ripple, and Maidsafe moving in that direction but not completely.

===========================================
Reasons for Selecting the Cube as the Symbol of NEM.

-- snap --

really great article, objective !
Two good points:
"cube" - hexagon,
tomoe - polarizing

The latter is often more important than many have thought.
That's why the possible negative points must not be just pushed away.
For example, if 60% doesn't see number 6's figure in the tomoe, and 40% does see, is it ok to skip that point of view?
If you were in a team of the other candidate in US President election, I'm pretty sure, what would you decide after evaluating 60 and 40%.

+1. If NEM group really is going forward despite the opinion of NEM people, THEN can be started the real conspiracy debate Grin

first utopianfuture "played" with puppets and "got caught", then a "good" logo was autocratically chosen, what caused NEM to be ... ... ... ...

"autocratically" ... Hmmm, interesting word.
UF sounded sometimes like ignoring some things or persons. That ignorance was kind of explained with the massive work load.
Now the work load is splitted? Do the load or responsibility affect to leaders behaviour against the crowds?

The logo wasn't chosen "autocratically" - in fact no final logo has been chosen.
The logo that was brought forward was supposed to be an interim logo. we needed one that was used among all services and decided to use a new one instead of the ones already present. It was badly communicated I'll give you that but the plan has always been to have a vote for the FINAL logo i.e. the logo that is going to be used after launch (final in this case is a relative term as logos and CIs can always change).

btw.: We plan on having the same designer that made the beloved cube logo come up with a suggestion for an entire branding.

All the logo has to do is feel and look good at first glance for outsider. Simple as that. You will not be able to provide lengthy explanations and diagrams with it unfortunatelly. It just is what it is to a fresh newbie as he first interprets it. Cube is a cube, it's wishful thinking to suppose that people will pick the letters from it, no way. Tomoe is some kind of whirl, etc. You have to look it from outsiders' point of view.

You are right that the first glance works like u said.
The explanations and diagrams are for the later times, when the outsider has decided to be interested in NEM. That N, E, M letters to hexagon change can be explained very easily, with one picture. The picture can lead to wiki page "history of NEM" where is explained more Cheesy

Quite funny that you rather choose cube over a 666 symbol. Well guess what conspiracy lovers Grin

Cube (the honeycomb or hegaxon) is apparently just as much "satanic" (so they say) as the 666. But don't ask me why, numerous videos on youtube will tell you.

I propose we use an image of satans face. Given the trend conspiracy theorists will probably just dismiss it as a goat.

Seriously though, dunno why people get their panties in a twist - people will always see something there isn't, people will always be upset in some way or another.

Personally i found nothing wrong with the dev made logo, but then i also have nothing against the cube either. I wouldn't recommend people fret over what conspiracy nuts or religious nuts think of it.
