Topic: NEM (XEM) Official Thread - 100% New Code - Easy To Use APIs - page 434. (Read 2985369 times)

I do agree starting off as POW attracts the huge 'miner' mostly bitcoin community.  These guys have the funds to invest in other coins.  Without POW, NEM is often overlooked ... but then again NEM is not targeting the crypto community

Also, what average individual can really 'mine' bitcoin?  Which shows it is much more centralized when 1 miner pool/individual can do so much damage with the current bitcoin debate/drama.

With NEM, only 10,000 is enough to harvest and as the network grows and txs increase, each block will hold more and more valuable fees.  So 3 million won't be required to harvest and profit, you can even do this with your PC off!

The supernode program wont last indefinitely, it was created to secure the network which it has done successfully, I really dont see them dropping the requirement.

Whales have been buying as the # of supernodes continue to increase, just like this guy:

As far as I can tell that Mac problem is Safari specific. Quite a few users have reported problems and lost coins with it. I don't know why it hasn't been addressed.

If you're harvesting no one else can access your coins. Otherwise no one would be harvesting.

Hello Hopefully Someone Here can give me the right advice or guide me.

A Little About me:

- I am an Investor.

- I am not a programmer

- 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.

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 Me

What 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 ?

- However, harvesting should Not be rocket science and what If I even take this step and learn how to harvest. No problem.

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.

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.

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.

Hi gents,

i was sending 480 Coins to test, is test a really adress or have change to get the coins back?

thx you for helping me

cheers

Hell, smart contracts, yeah. Or, ehm, i don´t know. In public its just about coins, thats as far as crypto in public understanding goes, for the moment, and even thats to much.
But lets start as a coin, which is: no energy waster, 1 minute blocktimes, beautiful wallet, delegated harvesting, smart phone wallet, ios and android, exchanges, we will improve on, what else? How to make newbies interrested at their level.

For any newbie: lately i made a transaction, thinking, i´ll go to toilet meanwhile, when i came back, my wallet was sitting there, asking me: What else, master ?
I think, i´m boring my wallet   

Wheras my bitcoin-wallet . . .  You know the rest of the story.

The reason many of those other coins are more popular is they started out as POW or hybrid coins so they have the mining whales promoting them.  Supernode requirements are too high right now and a lot of the early whales control all the nodes and get all the fees with NEM.  Popularity might increase if supernode requirement was reduced to 250K.  Regular nodes simply don't get enough of the fees to make it worth their while. You might be able to get whales to buy up 250K nem, but they're not going to buy up 3 million NEM.. never. gonna. happen.

Whether people want to admit it or not, this coin is fairly centralized due to the 3 million supernode requirement.  It's my one criticism with NEM, just like I criticize Xtrabytes for having all their static nodes tied up in the hand of early investors who got the coin for next to nothing.   Of course, if you make the supernode requirement 250K, a lot of early supernode holders might dump a bunch of NEM. If that happens it will be a healthy thing in the long haul.

Have to think 10 steps ahead, not worry about maintaining the status quo and the current market cap.

Wasnt the marketing fund distributed not so long ago. I belive they accepted 1/3 of the original allocation And they are all not from Asia. There is also another 400 million (ish) Nem still there allocated for conventional and non conventional Marketing. Look at the richlist for accurate figures

No idea what smart contracts are and how they are useful to us or companies. Are they popular and is there a chance that they may be used by many? Haven't heard of Agrello either.
I know I should already know by now what smart contracts are and mosaics etc, but I really still don't after all these years in crypto. I have no idea how to use it or what I can use it for.

maybe it's the market depth. Because their greatest interest might be in Maid. Can you believe it, even Doge is on their list 

Never heard of NVO.io still seems like pie in the sky at the moment.

I do agree NEM needs to get on more exchanges, being the top POS(I) coin with such small volume.

Agrello (legally binding smart contract provider) plans to use NEM on its mulit-blockchain platform
https://blog.agrello.org/agrello-homesteads-on-ethereum-but-remains-compatible-with-other-ecosystems-6669e0b572f0

They might have skipped NEM cause they do not hold any XEM position. As simple as that: It is not in their interest to direct their investors to buy XEM. Or maybe they are concerned about NEM's market depth.

This is one thing, that baffles me all the time. I mean, they go to buy their bio-food, free walking chicken, and talk about renewable energy and bitcoin in one sentence.
But they say, it´s necessary for the blockchain. But, ehm, no, it´s not ! See NEM.

Who is here staying directly in contact with the NEM managing team? maybe  "n3lz0n"  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=216877 ?

Yup, fully agree with this statement.

LOL, that's what keeps Bitcoin alive even though it has very slow transactions.

Someone should make this a project and put on a proposal for some proper marketing with the community fund. We don't need more projects, but more marketing.
Who can do this?

I don't fully agree. Nem was not the first nor the second with POS.
What made Nem popular from the beginning was that it was linked to Nxt + it was given for free in the beginning + many made sock accounts to claim many stakes so their thread filled up very quickly.

We launched about the same time as Etherium. Well I wish they were more like them, targeting the globe instead of specific part of the world. This is what makes Nem unsustainable and people cannot build projects successfully on Nem.

Have you seen Digibyte's Telegram? Have you seen how many members they have? Compare that with our Telegram.

Now we recently reached number 4, people started to turn their backs on us. Haven't you seen Ripple dying already? The same fate waits us.
Just look at NVO.io. They have adopted the first top 3 coins and many other coins under us like ETC and LTC. they simply skipped us even though these guys know lots about crypto. There must be something wrong with Nem.

If we don't do our best to keep to advance our place on the coinmarketcap, it will slowly slide backwards behind etc and ltc.
