Do I need to keep my wallet open in order to get a "vested" balance? 

No Just wait.

thanks! I wonder how many XEM I will harvest

Looks like the media is starting to praise the blockchain above and beyond Bitcoin.  Good thing NEM was designed from day one to be a fast, flexible, and secure blockchain platform and not just a coin.

NEM was designed as a blockchain platform. Period. It is an ecosystem and a platform for great things to sit on.

Hi b1007
With only ~30,000 XEM I have harvested 23 block in the last month, almost 1 block/day.
There were a couple of times where I got 3 blocks in a single day.
Right now most blocks have no fees. As the number of transactions increase, more blocks will contain fees.
In the future there will be no emply blocks.

Awesome! It's a lot of fun to be part of this community

What I meant to say is that political interests (peace) always prevail over economic interests (economic growth), the former is generally considered more important than the latter. I am not quite sure why you think politicians are not elected in the EU? We still have democracies, or are you referring to EU level government?

You sure?

Looks fun

if one try was less expensive and if there was some sort of clue, then I would have tried to guess (it's a WW2 click recognition thing for soldiers when they are lost so they know they are on the same side) That would have been my guess...

Anyway, I 've got a question concerning booting the local node, is there something I can do so the wallet starts to boot a local node automatically when I open my wallet?

I don't think it's a cricket beause the click is only at the end of the sound i think.

Yes, there is an auto-boot setting. Just check out the settings page. It's a checkbox.

Thanks, you mean the "auto-boot" setting?

What do I fill in for "node name" and "account" then?

[b1007]

I suppose "primary account" is already filled in, but how do I call the "node name" ? Just "local node" or something?

[mixmaster]

[...], is there something I can do so the wallet starts to boot a local node automatically when I open my wallet?  

As pat already said, there is an option for it, just take a look.

Just be aware that if you login to your wallet before the db is fully loaded (which I think is only possible if you manually change a config file so that NIS is available before the db is fully loaded), then auto-boot will not happen. I hope we can change this in the future since this would make the usage even more user friendly.

The node name can be anything you like. http://blog.nem.io/how-to-make-your-node-name-appear-in-color-on-the-nem-block-explorer/

[patmast3r]

doesn't matter. You can name it whatever you want.

[b1007]

Thanks I already have the "auto boot' option vinked, however it doesn't automatically boot when I start my wallet? I have to do it manually each and every time still...

Are you using the installer version? I think this is not the first time somebody reports this problem.
Are you just opening the NEM software and then wait? Or are you manually starting NIS and/or NCC? How exactly are you doing it?

Also I like the project "Crypto Apex Inc.", however I don't like the name that much, why this name? Isn't "Nemdaq" or "Nemdex" or something much better? I mean NEM and the exchange belong together right? Why is it called the way it is? I don't think it's a good move marketing wise...

Well, "Crypto Apex" is not a NEM internal project. It is a third party application/service. But rockethead or other people who are involved could probably tell you more about this.

Thanks again for helping me out nembuddy  . Well, yes I use the installer version for Windows, when I open the wallet and the db blocks have loaded I get a message on the top of my wallet that says I still need to connect to a (local) node. Then I go to the settings on top next to the grey puppet and click "boot local node". I have to do that each and every time myself, not that it's the end of the world, it's just more comrfortable if a local node boots automatically...

[b1007]

"NIS needs to be booted. Please open your wallet and boot a local node via the popup dialog or configure the auto-boot setting"

This is the message I get...

[b1007]

I get that message on top, but somehow I am able to locally harvest now? So does this mean I am connected to a local node after all even though the message on top of my wallet says otherwise?

[b1007]

Now it's just stuck...renamed my node name for my auto-boot settings and now it says;


"Booting NIS... (at block 288965)"

[b1007]

Okay I give up, I just manually boot locally, also the DB blocks having to load all over again every time I start my wallet is frustrating, I just have to accept that this wallet is a pain in the ass in some regards...

Please understand, that you are running a full node, not just a client. Starting a full node takes some time (load the complete database, synchronize...), but with NEM you are not forced to do that, but can still be 100% safe.

Please read our tutorials, we have really written a lot of helpful stuff: http://blog.nem.io/nem-quick-start-guide/

EDIT:
To be able to run just NCC, I think you dont have to download the standalone version if you already installed the installer version.

Regarding your problem with auto-boot etc:
I think there is some problem with the installer version setting the right state (db fully loaded, booted, synced), but I am not sure, I dont use the installer version.
