Fact is NEM is only growing by some 10 addresses a week and addresses are not people and this upswing was probably due to the faucet. No time to deal with exact numbers but the approximation is a doubling of addresses will take up to 3.5 years at the current rate.

You paid Xtester 20 million XEM
You paid kodtycoon 10 million XEM
You paid a lot of "marketers" a lot of XEM.

Where are the results? Where is the adoption? Where is the marketing? The advertising?

Many of the people who were paid the most for marketing did the least of what ever marketing there was. Translations are essential marketing, some people spent hour(s) on them and yet many translators were paid less than 1 stake and some weren't even paid at all. Huh

Yet we had someone like Xtester who was paid 20 million XEM and many can testify he was a terrible moderator (he let CfA spam all day and was inactive for weeks at a time) and no forum moderator in the world, even a competent one, even deserves more than a single stake..

How you guys handled this reward for marketing, which was cronyism, implies that NEM is being ran by dangerous management.

A) How can an investor knowingly invest into NEM if they knew these facts? If you give the developers money, will they just give it away to friends and relatives? Dangerous I'ld say.

B) Because of cronyism - nobody new to NEM has incentive to contribute. Why bust your butt so some figurehead marketer, who does nothing, gets 10x more than you? New economy is oddly starting to look like old economy of cronyism and corruption..

Tut tut JBC, Tuan, Ivan and Sirkos, Tuansew......appears you suffer from 'impatience' like so many others. I do wish you could use even 10 % of your undoubted energies/ abilities to benefit rather than hinder.

P.s. Thanks for the rich list link........it clearly shows that all the big accounts are Funds set up for the benefit of NEM.
