Re: [NEM] NEM -New Economy Movement - No Envy Movement - Updates+Discussion thread
I know everyone is excited for NEM to be released (me in included 
) but just let the developers do their job. It's good that people are thinking about marketing but for right now that is not a priority, we need a product first, it needs to work and be stable. I look at it like building a house, the foundation has to be solid, if it isn't then you will have problems with the house and will need ongoing repairs. Let the dev's take the time they need to build a solid foundation so time won't be wasted later on doing repairs.

I also think that if we want to go beyond the criptocurrency community; there are a lot of work to be done. Just for mention, stable release (beta?), easy installation, some ecosystem (merchants) available, etc. In this context, I was thinking that, at some point, maybe it could be nice to have some sort of NEM foundation that can be (but not restricted to, to keep the decentralized nature of the movement) a reference to organize and promote it. That also could help to organize big initiatives, promote the use in communities, etc. I don't known... what do you think about it?
why? ethereum is prominent in the public eye with nothing released.. not even an ipo. so was darkwallet.. and they are eagerly anticipated and the attention they got because of it brought in new developers.. new investors..
marketing should start the second it can be purchased on AE. at that stage people can buy in and help grow the nem eco system.. bring in new coders who can buy in and then help grow their investment.. why should we hide ourselves from new developers/investors. we have got everything that ethereum has bar a front man.. which if needed i would someone would step up.. i would but iv never done public speaking before so not sure how that would work out! probably not too good lol and i dont have the finances to do it. also im not a dev or in core team so wouldnt have the credibility others do.
yes i agree wait until atleast alpha before any major marketing starts if not longer.. but whats the problem with atleast getting a bit of a buzz going around about nem after launch on AE? as long as we dont make any promises of having this or that feature and never say this WILL happen or by THIS date we will do x, y, z... then we cant disapoint anyone.. but still have created a buzz..
ps.. im not stopping anyone from doing there jobs..
I also agree - marketing should start now!Why not? Soon there´s the possibility to trade NEM (through nxt asset exchange).More attention, first in the cryptoscene and later beyond, is important.
