Why all the haters?

NEM had the fairest IPO / distribution in digital currency. What sockpuppet fiasco? They did a census and only like a third of holders were inactive new accounts, but that doesn't make them sockpuppets. This may surprise you but most people don't post on internet forums. it's meaningless in a sense. This forum is also full of 'tards and trolls, so that keeps even more people away.

As for a fiasco - 2000 to 3000 real stake holders versus 13 - 22 for NxT or 5 for BTC (Satoshi and the early adopters mined a crazy amount). Where's the fiasco here? NEM has one of the fairest IPOs to date.

Oh I see, you must meant a fiasco by Altcoin community standards (or a lack thereof). "How dare they have a fair launch, how dare they!? Only scam coins and scam IPOs are tolerated here!"

exactly, posting for the sake of posting does not really mean your active, it means you talk alot....sometimes for no particular reason. One of the things that stops me posting on the bitcointalk forums is a lot of people have their own agendas. Some speak highly of a coin to get you to buy it, some trash it to get you to sell it...they all just to make money out of you. It is hard to know who to trust now.

That is the point.

Another thing. People are complaining about this thread and too much talk of stake holding /sock puppets and they have a point but remember this was always going to be a big issue. I think it is good that there is a lot of discussion about this issue. I hope future investors have access to these pages because they will see that only a handful of us had unrealistic views on sock puppets and it shows that almost everyone is striving for egalitariasm. Once the stakes are issued I'm sure that the discussions on these forums will move on to more productive issues.
