Is it required that we complete this conversion? Can I just keep by NET tokens in my MEW account or is this activation required?
You can keep those for some months after the mainnet launch.
You can go through KYC without activating.
Not suggested at all. NIM activation after mainnet launch will be a manual procedure that we will provided as a last resort.
If you want to be in control of your NIM we strongly suggest you activate your NIM.
What exactly do you mean by "if you want to be in control of your NIM ..."? Your sentence is quite strong, even beyond a simple recommendation. Also, the information I gave above was from personal activation experience and from info I got from discord mods. There are security, usability, liquidity, speculation etc reasons for not activating. Can you be explicit please
what are the consequences of NOT activating now, so the community can make better decisions?
Thank you.
