Re: [NEM] NEM -New Economy Movement - No Envy Movement - Updates+Discussion thread
Anything involves James nodecoin would need a great deal of luck to go through.
I've bookmarked this. Care to wager a NEM stake on this?
Listen, I understand you're the head of NEM. Respect for you and your team. Somehow, in all the 'fair distribution' talk it's forgotten that CfB, Jean-Luc, CIYAM, James and others are a killer team. We're not waiting on an alpha, or picking out logos -- we're testing features now as I type this.
I wouldn't wager my NEM stake if I wasn't 100% positive.
Are all those people still involved in NXT? I thought CfB's contract was up. It looks like Jean-Luc and wesley have made all the commits for at least all of April: https://bitbucket.org/JeanLucPicard/nxt/commits/all. Is there another repro where other people are contributing?
CfB hasn''t left totally. He is still around, and waiting for DGS and asset exchange to finish. CIYAM is of course still working on AT project. James is supposedly "working" on dozens of things, but they don't involve changing nxt core. These are all his own projects. There are many others working on various projects (like android apps, games ( http://www.nox.am/ ) websites ( nxt.org, etc)
The front page of the game demo does look inviting. I could agree that NXT is still the most exciting alt coin system out there currently.
Looking at if from a market cap stand point it must be true. I hope one day nxt can shake of the dark stigma of unfair distribution and whales but i don't see it happening anytime soon if ever.
Did "whales" hurt bitcoin? 1 person holds 10% of bitcoin and 200 or so have 60%. Same applies to Litecoin and Peeercoin. In fact, same applies to Nem. The population of the word is 7 billion. So "3000" (if you ignore sock puppets) would be considered "unfair distribution, by the rest of 7 billion. Your argument is total nonsense.
+1 Yep. I've always thought about this. If mass adoption is what matters, than there really isn't much of a difference between 10, 73, or 3000. However, there are a FEW advantages to having a few more initial stakeholders, like having more people run nodes at first and help out with marketing and such. And in this case, although I think it's unfair and doesn't really matter in the end, having less than 100 stakeholders apparently has a pretty negative stigma...
Edit: and by unfair, I mean I think it's unfair that so many people have such a negative view about Nxt's initial distribution. It's already better than bitcoin's distribution.
