Yes, can someone comment on this.
Mijin appears to be getting good traction and interest.
For investors in NEM/XEM how does this benefit ... Makoto?
I'm not directly involved but here's what I understand.
First I'd like to point out that there have been several things in the media in the last days. Some pertaining to mijin, others pertaining to NEM and Dragonflypay.
Mijin - to my knowledge - has no immediate connection to NEM other than the API. The APIs are exactly the same. A company that uses mijin can use NEM without changing a line of code (API wise anyway, obviously throughput is different and therefore other code may need changing). Another thing to note is that part of the code base is - again, to my knowledge - the same. A lot of optimizations that are being done for mijin are also applied to NEM. So this is one way that NEM benefits immediately. I'm sure makoto can expand on future plans and what relationship there could be between NEM and mijin.
Dragonflypay on the otherhand has immediate impact on NEM because it - afaik - uses NEM directly. Here's the press-release on what's been happening there and what that is http://www.reuters.com/article/dragonfly-fintech-idUSnPn1Ptv6F+91+PRN20151216
Actually, because the NEM and Mijin APIs are the same, it is great to have so many companies learning the API! Already 50 companies signed up for the test with Mijin, which is aimed at devs who can use the API. This will train a lot of people to work with our system.
