There is no set date but June might be possible and from what I have seen I wouldn't call it a alpha

Thanks, but I just heard from the main NEM page that a beta might be out in August.. Which one should we go with?

I understand your point over there about a project needing time to be done right. That makes sense. However, the original NEM thread was launched in January and having a beta release in August is like having to wait 8 bitcoin years, as a podcaster might say.

While I am not intimately involved with the project and have little to lose you can see why this could be frustrating for some people as there will assuredly be major changes in this particular field of finance (regulatory, technologically and economically) between now and then.

I have one other question that I can't seem to get an answer to over there or anywhere else..

Why are the tokens exchangeable for NEM only 2 weeks after the NEM launch? I understand that the entire process is voluntary but I don't know if that was meant to be a tradeoff for being able to cash out NEM to NXT early, logistical issues or else why wouldn't they just make that exchange available on the day of launch?

Oh well, looks like there's still plenty of time to change things, if they want..

For the next few months, NEM will be the first (and only?) meta-meta-currency. Its so quantum that it both exists and doesn't exist at the same time.
