Thank you for posting this. I have discovered this in my research as well. What I don't understand is why NEM continues to languish in valuation and is so lightly traded. I have seen so many garbage coins and cloned platforms have so much more hype. Was just curious to the thoughts of others. I am not trading my NEM for nothing!
Well... I was mainly just highlight the backbone of NEM, which is the part of NEM that is great and the main devs did a good job on.
But our packaging isn't so good. We need a better wallet, branding and website (maybe name and logo but we won't discuss that again), and a better funded marketing team that has done a lot of marketing out of their own pockets.
We have people working on wallets and websites, but it is slow. The next versions will be much better though. Hopefully then our marketing can pick up more.
We actually do have a lot of active and great marketing in Japan and are regularly in Japanese news on major sites, but that hasn't translated over to the English speaking world because frankly, we don't have any great English speaking marketers in Europe or the US. (If anybody would like this job, lets talk)
