Quote from Johnny Mnemonic


"Inside our tiny bubble it's easy to forget just how little the average person gives a shit about the evils of our current monetary system.

Not that anyone would want to fuss with crypto even if they did care. It's inconvenient to get, inconvenient to use, and offers little incentive to the regular old dude who just wants to swipe his credit card and get on with life.

The idea that incentivizing people to hold somehow improves the success of crypto is absurd and a rather narrow perspective in my opinion. A successful currency is one that people use (read: spend), not one that everybody collectively sits on and waits for the value to increase. That's not a currency at all.

Many of us refer to Bitcoin and Monero as cryptocurrencies but we don't actually want them to be currencies. We just want the market cap to go up to infinity so we can get richer and buy more stupid shit we don't need.

The sad irony is that the prices will never reach "the moon" until we stop serving ourselves and start focusing on improving the lives of everyone else.

TL;DR: Currencies are about commerce. Let's focus on improving that. Approaching crypto from an investor perspective and focusing on ROI will never get the rest of the world to start using it. An increasing market cap is a symptom of success, but if that's our goal then we're doing it wrong."

I run all my nodes on a VPS form Digitalocean.com. It is very straightforward to signup and create your first droplet. It is done within minutes if you have a good tutorial like the one below. Further it is cheap. Around $5 for the ceapest plan per month.

I would recommend Amazon's free EC2 VPS. It's really easy and fast setup.

I got this crazy idea and I'm not sure if it is executable.

Why don't we create our own mobile phone network, just like Three, EE, Orange, Lebara etc.
People can pay purchase a Nem simcard or take a Nem subscription (maybe via multisig) to make calls, access internet and make payments.

insanely difficult market to break into.. and expensive. o2 in ireland was making millions in quarterly losses before they got bought out by Three. no different to any other utilities etc.. any monopolized markets are near impossible to break into with out bug money backing or an insanely good product/marketing. doing a partnership with one of those companies could be the way to go for that kind of thing instead.. piggy back off the existing companies and give them a cut while providing a valuable service to their customers. still a hard market to break into, but much more feasible than setting up your own service provider.

My vested balance is still 1.922.000 XEM since 2 weeks, but i have many more in my wallet! I have to wait only, or to do anything to get all my balance vested?

[asdlolciterquit]

just a question: everyone i have to re-start my NEM client i have to re-import my account address?

Thx!

any help?

you shouldnt have to, unless you deleted the wallet file. boot up the client and if there is no wallet available to open, just create a new one and import your private key again.

uhm...my wallet have on old date, 04/04/2015. It hasn't been deleted.

What i don't understand is that if i go to "address book" i find my address, with my public key and my correct balance.
But why i find my balance only there?

I'll go out on a limb and say you have two accounts in that wallet and you have selected the empty one. You can swtich between accounts by clicking on them (or next to them...not sure right now).

Hello patmast3r,

I still don't see Nem stake on my wallet address I registered here https://chain.nem.ninja/stakes with Nem stake token I got.
Is it postponed?

You might use support.ournem.com to have us take a look at your problem. This forum is not a good place to do support.

A variation of the current logo.

Looks like Nem is the king of currencies  

**Leave out the dot since it doesn't start with a capital letter

P.S.: Who did the official logo? I need it as a vector image?

Looks like a soccer team logo   Seriously, do you want to use it for marketing purposes?

How is that an idea for NEM?

Hi to all. Just discover this coin and its looks interesting. Can somebody explain why are the price is so low on poloniex and whats
happening behind this hype. Its hard to read 889 pages  

70 Satoshi for 1 XEM.  Wow such deal.   NXT is 4000 Satoshi for 1 NXT.   I can buy 57x more XEM than NXT.   Bitshares is 212 Satoshi.   I can buy 3x-4x more XEM than BTS.

 XEM is cheapest Bitcoin 2.0+ Platform and thus most profit for investors.  This is guaranteed winner.

Soon it is 1000s Satoshi or more.   $100 make $5000 soon, wow.  

So it seems that Taunsew does not have any basic economic knowledge...

Have you ever heard about money supply?

Indeed you can buy 57X more NEM than NXT but it will be 9 times more diluted compared to NXT as there is 9 Billion XEM and only 1 Billion NXT.
So the good ration would be 57/9= 6.3 X more.

That basic mistake says long about you and your education level....

Saying it's guarranteed winner is also very naive...

I invested in NXT and BTS also for the reason there is much more potential than bitcoin as the price is much lower, but there is no guarrantee winner, actually the odds to win are even lower than bitcoin, just the reward will be hundreds times more than bitcoin, that's why I accept this higher risk but there is no guarantee.

In a general way I think it would be foolish to invest all in currency 2.0, but it would also be stupid to not invest at least 5-10% of your crypto capital in these new promising coins.
If the bitcoin rise and not altcoin then you will miss 5% profit, but if one of these coin surpass bitcoin you will just have your tears to cry and regret...

About XEM and NXT I've chosen to not invest in XEM as this kind of platform is a global economy so you need some DAC working with the currency.
This challenge start to be completed by NXT even if it is still not enough, but on NEM there is still nothing and I'm affraid it will last like this.
If some serious companies join NEM  I would revise my judgement but from now the risk seems too high for me.

Yes, fully synchronized. Already written to support but no answer... I have 13.398.344, 52 XEM in my wallet but 3.070.000 vested now, and an importance score from 3.84
How long i have to wait until my balance is fully vested?

This is not 100% accurate but I think its something like 20% per day
