The price is in rally mode, so stay tuned, although no good news or something.

Catapult CPP development status, nothing short of being impressive:

I dont see any viable alternatives and Ethereum is in a mess, even if ETC surpasses ETH, its still not perfect.

Seems to be quite a bump in nem trading activity over the last couple of days.
Price has risen a bit, but I was never much concerned about price, the volume is what is making me happy. We've been at over 500k in volume the last 2 days, which is outstanding, shows that there is interest and people are actively buying and selling, which can only be good for the future of the coin, if some of these new developments come to light down the road.

It's a pretty hefty jump from the lull of the last few weeks, we had been hovering around 100k volume and losing marketcap. Nem actually gained about 6 mil in marketcap the last 2 days. I'm hoping this coin stays in the forefront and on people's minds in the coming months and is able to rebound big time off a new announcement and maybe get the kickstart it needs to go mainstream.

@DIMKAZDS: meaning you can't vote?
Voting is just sending a transfer transaction with a message saying "yes" or "no".

I would like to vote but my NIS sais that messaging is not yet available in beta release. Do I need to download a new version?
edit: my dashboard sais:
 Latest stable release:

0.6.77

Additionally at ICO Time NEM was planned as a nxt Clone. It was decided to completely rewrite after ICO. And we had to wait a long time for the first Version. But the devs are doing great!

ICO price of XEM is not a benchmark because while NEM ICO was conducted there was not much attention in ICOs as nowadays.
So you can not compare it to competitors like Ethereum, Waves, Lisk etc.

Please do not make conjectures. Ask if you have doubts. Making conjectures is fud.

Today, the funds in the non-entity of NEM is controlled by 8 core members. They can run with the fund too and it can collapse.

The legal entity gives it a protection layer as it cannot run away with the funds so easily as it binds the trustees of the fund to the law.

Making decisions to use the funds are explicity spelt out how they are going to be used to promote the 10 focus areas as described here: http://blog.nem.io/a-major-announcement/

THe 10 focus areas are:

• Setting up regional presence
• Organising NEM blockchain technology events
• Collaborating with educational institutions
• Collaborating with Government agencies to define standards
• Collaborating with commercial entities to further develop its use.
• Setting up a centre of excellence and to be headed by our very own core developers
• Setting up a consulting arm to consult on matters relating to the technology and provide such services to businesses at large that will use the NEM blockchain technology
• Acquiring and promoting intellectual properties from its community and working with them to promote such intellectual properties to global businesses
• Spawning new ventures, and where possible, by providing technology and financial assistance
• Providing for scholarships and internship for brilliant and world class students

How the funds will be used will be decided as before. Nothing has changed.

How the funds will be disbursed have always been done by the 8 core members without the need to answer to anyone. How the funds will be used in future will need corporate governance, and simply using funds at will, can land some people in jail. Simple as that. We are putting check and balance into the system. It can only be better, not worse.

Finally, the legal entity is not only a legal entity per se. It will comprise of members, pretty much like a foundation, but the word foundation is not the right description, more so a society in nature. There will be members there who will cast their votes for any major investments.

In the initial stage, this will be very much guided by the core team. The initial stage is expected to be 10 years and by which time, we hope to achieve a proper legacy for all to follow.

Let's hope this will clear some air.

Edit: Please note that the whole question in the end is the community fund. The rest of the fund has always been autonomously decided by the core. So really, the question is the community fund.

Another point to be made, the structure is two tier, trustee tier and society tier.  Society is run by executives who are entrusted to run and execute what has been decided collectively between the members of the society (presumably the nembers here), the executives and the board of trustees. In short, it is not without any check and balance.

It will go back to 500 sats. Still much more expensive than ico price, I think then it is a good time to buy

Anyone can give their opinion what failures they have that we should not repeat?  NEM always wants to be perfect. So, we want to do the best we can to ensure that the well structured integrity is passed on as legacy.  The only reason that NEM has come this far is the honesty and commitment of the devs. We shall want to make sure that this new legal entity will carry on that legacy as we move to the dojo of the big boys in the game. Only then we can become a big initiative. We think the time is now.

The legal entity was set up after taking them into consideration, and after looking at how long standing mainstream organisations have been set up.

There is separation of power between legislative and executive to prevent abuse. But of course we cannot eradicate, but still we can prevent.

think that one also, there's probably a few more
