Re: NEM (XEM) Official Thread - 100% New Code

I invested in NEM back at the creation, but have never claimed my share, and still have my secret token. How can I redeem my NEM?

You basically lost it as it expired close to one year ago.

Surely there must be some way to redeem it and my amount is still sitting in the pool somewhere. When I invested originally I never saw it advertised as time-restricted or anything. You can check my name on the original list.

There is no way to redeem it because none of those systems ar in place anymore. There was a portal setup for that. If we let 1 redeem we open the floodgates.
Also I don't think anyone still has "the original list". I deleted all my copies of everything related to redemption with a huge smile on my face knowing that it was finally over.

Sorry to say that, but that sounds like a awkward statement.
In a 'normal' work environment, no one would delete works related files... You may archive files, but nobody would delete them. It simply doesn't exist.
If I delete files of a superseded project, i'm pretty sure my boss would fire me straight away, with all the rights of the case.
You always keep a copy somewhere, You will never know what's going to happen, not to mention the legal aspect of that Shocked

Imagine if someone will suit you.. and you don't have files to prove that you may be right. You are simply screwed.
But mostly, it sounds really unprofessional too.
So, better to say that you don't want to do it. But please, never say that you cannot do that because you delete files. Please... Huh

It's really an awful excuse. Cheesy

There was quite a lively debate back in the day concerning how long to allow share redemption. The decision was made to allow it for a limited amount of time and then use unclaimed shares to invest in the project (I'm not sure of all the details). That limited time passed, so as they said, redemption is no longer possible. It really doesn't matter if files were deleted or archived. I'm really sorry that you lost your stake.

I haven't lost any stake Grin

I redeemed my stake as per instruction, even if I don't care too much honestly, and I don't have too much faith on it (also for management statements like the incriminated one Grin

).. So don't be sorry for nothing Cool

You didn't get the point: I was just referring to that particular Statement. I'm not saying it's wrong to set a limit for certain things like stakes' distribution. Even if I believe that the 'sock puppets novel' was the biggest scam of the crypto coin history, and has been the biggest income for the developers. But that's another story.
I'm just saying that If you want to sound professional, you should never say that any phase of any project cannot be revised only because you deleted all the files.
Nobody delete files. Files are archived , backed up. Not deleted. If you say that, you're just making a fool of yourself. With no offence to anyone.
Hoping someone else will agree with me. I'm pretty sure they will.
