Hello Hopefully Someone Here can give me the right advice or guide me.
A Little About me:- I am an Investor.
Me too- I am not a programmer
Me neither - I am very much interested in investing/purchasing NEM/XEM
But here are the Hurdles I faced:
- When I tried to create a Nem Wallet- There is an issue with Mac/Safari.
I am not sure If this issue is only with Safari or Mac itself.
Anyways, this is not a big issue since I can easily create one and use a Windows computer.
I have been using Windows in combination with the NCC wallet for 2 or 3 years now. The NCC wallet is more stable than the Nano wallet. I haven't experiences any issues with the NCC wallet and I haven't tried the Nano wallet, it's just that other people have trouble with it.yet I was wondering what would be the best way If I just got chrome for Mac ? (i.e if its just a Safari issue)
or lets just keep this simple and I have no problem using my PC to create this wallet.
What Further Discouraged MeWhat further has discouraged me is that you have to Harvest your NEM/XEM coins.
So my question is what If I am an investor and I just buy the coins and do not harvest them or anything. Are they still Good coins. What happens ?
Nothing happens. It's up to you to decide whether to harvest or not. You can use your pc or a third party node- However, harvesting should Not be rocket science and what If I even take this step and learn how to harvest. No problem.
Running a simple node is super easy, nothing technical about it.Then, I Further started reading that the way NEM/XEM works is that If I do harvest my coins, then Other NEM/XEM owners can access my Computer/PC.
As I said I have been harvesting for 2 or 3 years and have no problems whatsoever. Just make sure your pc is protected and chose a node from the original Nem site and never download a wallet except from the original Nem site.I certainly do not want anyone accessing my computer because I at least have some important information in each of my computers.
Now, I am thinking If I buy a new/cheap computer or a second hand computer just to use for NEM/XEM but it seems a bit too much.
If you are concerned about safety, you should be better concered about your pc getting hacked and coins getting stolen. Better wait for the Trezor hard wallet (a USB sort of thing for cryptos). They are busy optimizing the wallet for Nem as well. You should be able t harvest with it as well.Please, If someone could clarify, I would greatly appreciate it.
Any advice someone can give me, I would be very thankful.
Also, these questions could also be running through many new investor's mind.
I am open to take in any information from a programmer here or just a simple investor like me who is not a programmer and how his/her experience was buying NEM.
