Topic: Why is Nem growing so fast? - page 2. (Read 3776 times)
I do not have a clue.
If I remember rightly distribution to regular humanoids was somewhere around the 71% mark.

How do we know they aren't Sybils for the same entity? How do we know they didn't sell cheap to the manipulator?
See I think the bottom line value will be the actual technology of the project. The price will rise high and then crash to the true value in the project.

Well, I very well undertand the concept of proof, but an "official" number from a trusted team member would be satisfying for me at the moment.
Um, it's all out in the open and completely accessible.

Quite a bit's been held back for further development and promotion and the addresses are publicly labeled.
An actual number as a pourcentage would be great

How many NEM coin are in circulation and not hold by the NEM team? I am not sure if the total marketcap is fake. Thanks for giving an accurate answer.
Ask for proof also. Words are meaningless.

I must correct you:
1) NEM has some unique features. As an example the only multisig implementation where you can add and remove cosigners.
2) how can you be sure of manipulation? You are just supposing it.

1. Yeah it might have some minor features that other coins don't have. Please explain why these are really important and justify a $133m mcap.
2. The chart of a non-manipulated coin looks like the following with never getting more than 4X gain off any low (note rpietila caused the spike at the start):

Is removal of a multisig enough to give a $133million market cap?
I mean it is almost as big as LTC! It won't be in 1 month, I am 99% certain.

i know its very easy to assume that there MUST be some kind of deviousness involved somewhere along the line, but that has never been the case with nem. its a major reason why i supported nem wholeheartedly from the beginning and will continue to do so for years to come.
So we must trust you.
So just like how Mark Karpeles was our hero until he wasn't?
Why didn't you make a WoT to codify the level of decentralized trust in the system, so the decentralized trust is more verifiable.
What are the names of all these people I am asked to trust? Who trusts whom within that? What are their backgrounds and past performances? Etc...
Again I am not making accusations. I am just suggesting that if you want the market to trust you, you should be able to show information that helps to establish the trust.
i never asked for anyone to trust myself or anyone else. i just gave my opinion on the matter. you can trust my opinion if you wish or your can do your home work. either way, you will find nem is quite a lot different to any other crypto in many many ways. it really does buck the trend. what you take from my post is entirely up to you.
I am just making the point that trust has nothing to do with it. Your "Proof-of-importance" (don't tell anyone it is really just proof-of-stake) technology has nothing to do with it.
The price is moving up because someone is manipulating the price.
wrt PoI, Here is the formula.
The importance score, ψ, is calculated as follows:
ψ = (normalize1(max(0, ν + σwo)) + ˆπwi)χ
where:
normalize1(v) is: vkvk
ν is the vested amount of XEM
σ is the weighted, net outlinking XEM
πˆis the NCDawareRank score
χ is a weighting vector that considers the structural topology of the graph
wo, wi are suitable constants
as you can see, "v" which could be considered the proof of stake part of the algorithm, is a part, but not the only part, nor is it the majority. so no it is not proof of stake, but it is a component in the overall algorithm.
"The price is moving up because someone is manipulating the price." -> is any buy on any market anything less than intentional or unintentional market manipulation? i have no interest with disputing whether it is market manipulation or not. if that is your opinion then so be it. its not my loss.
The reputation stuff is just proof-of-stake in transactions. It has the same properties of proof-of-stake wherein your stake determines how much rank you realistically have (and not just lose it all to transaction fees).
Yes everything is a "manipulation" (i.e. a trade), but the difference is that in order to move a price up vertically like that requires significant concentration of the tokens into one manipulator's control. That isn't necessarily bad or good, depending on your perspective of good and bad. It carries certain risks, which include that the manipulator can crash the price when he is ready to short.
I am just advocating honesty:
1. NEM doesn't have any new technology. It is a rehash of same old technology.
2. NEM's price is being manipulated to the upside as of this moment by someone with control over most of the float.
You don't need to take that as an insult or criticism. Just take it as a being fair and factual.

Suffice it to say, there's a lot of demand coming from folks that have nothing to do with this here corner of the Internet. In a very real sense, it's a wake-up portent for the time when crypto becomes more mainstreamed. What happens if (say) Lisk captures the fancy of a whole bunch of folks that aren't interested in Bitcointalk? Folks like me will prolly think that (say) Lisk has gone insanely high because we won't be able to figure out where the demand is coming from.
Yup. That's the key to the next step in crypto. It really needs to leave this cesspit behind.
There'll be more coins that take off with virtually nothing to do with this place, and all the clapped out dogshit that people masturbate over here will be forever left in the dust. That's an entirely healthy and necessary thing.
I am just amazed it raised in price in a couple of weeks? What's the reason, I don't see much nem news that can cause such a rise. I like nem but present growth feels like a pump? Or am I missing something others clearly see.
I got out of NEM when it was only (!) 300-400 satoshis. Best guess I have, it's getting a lot of buying from Japan because its tech is being used by a big-league payment remitter and at least one company that's tied to a Japanese big bank. (Please note: I'm not talking about NEM itself, I'm talking about its tech.)
In a sense, me selling way too soon is my bad for being too parochial: I barely know anything about the Japanese.

Until The DAO mishap, we saw the same thing with Ethereum: its growth came outside of these confines, so at some level it was hard to believe.
All users holding XEM for long-term investment.. I bought it when the price was 210 satoshi...
I think XEM will be up-trending to 10k satoshi after 2-3 weeks...

it gains pretty fast so far last weeks has been nice
i got in at 500 satoshi so im pretty happy i know its very easy to assume that there MUST be some kind of deviousness involved somewhere along the line, but that has never been the case with nem. its a major reason why i supported nem wholeheartedly from the beginning and will continue to do so for years to come.

Because there is a growing consensus that token platforms like NXT, WAVES or NEM will be huge when the decentralised fiat gateways are ubiquitous.
Been with nem since the start and it has been really good to me!
Not planning on selling my stake yet, been patient for 2 years already, can wait a bit longer. Just wondering how high this can go.. Growth seems a bit too fast now imo.
On the other hand, it was probably severely undervalued compared to to other coins so it may just be correcting to where ot should be priced.

it's been around for more than 2 years:
key difference is that NEM devs listened and are making a currency that anyone can use.
this is the number 1 reason why so many other fail while NEM is surging right now, they focused on usability
