When is next Alpha build with bug fix coming? & source for alpha already available?
thank you!
No ETA on next build.
Source won't be available for a while.
IMO, Source of NEM must be closed for at least half of year after NEM release! We are all so tired from many clones...
But... may be clones-this is good way to promote(some kind of marketing) real NEM?
I said earlier, and I still maintain that this is the wrong approach. The source should be open, and we will beat the competition by having a superior ecosystem.
no, we do not need clones beafore NEM goes out
Open Source before launch doesn't make much sense. It's also safer for the entire world. Noone should be able to use unfisnished code to make a clone of NEM. Them having network problems might reflect badly on NEM since it' supposedly a clone.
Look at NAS. According to Jean-Luc they used unfinished, not production ready code. Now it has followers that were all hoping to be part of a great coin. Let's spare the people an early crappy NEM Clone like NAS
+1. Look they plan a clone months before there is a single line of code
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-ora-nxt-monetary-system-currency-620518. Many take Linux open source development as a model but I don't think Linux development has an equivalent in crypto even in Bitcoin. Mike Hearn just said Bitcoin core development has come to a halt with only Gavin develops something. The difference is that a helper in Linux knowing they are doing for the good of the humanity; the same thing cannot be said for any single coin. People can feel good about helping crypto movement in general but why should they pick a particular coin whether it is bitcoin, litecoin, doge or nem ? So rationally if a developer has an interest in nem technical development but has no allegiance to nem, he will just clone the source and make his own developments and IPO.
On the other hand, clones are not that bad and historically clones can work to advertise the main currency. It is more worrying that a good competitor copy the ideas and implement them in their own system. This 2 gen. crypto market is packed with coins with some legitimate developments: qora, nxt, nxt lite, nfd, exo, noir, cripti, nhz etc. it is now difficult to see a differentiator between all of them. I still like open sources but that's the reality of the market imho.
The new economy starts with you. I believe in NEM.
