Any ideas on what NEM will be trading at once alpha launches?
Still on the NXT AE.
Alpha coins will not be real.
Beta coins will neither.
Only launch coins will be real and will be most likely first traded on dgex, poloniex or bittrex.
I thought the coins would be real on alpha?
No, and honestly, why would you want them to be real in alpha stage? The client will have major bugs in this phase, that is why it is called alpha release!
I'm slightly confused...
Utopian said they're fake:
Testnest use test coins. Monopoly money which will be destroyed when we move to the mainnet.
Gimre said they're real:
alpha testnet, beta - most likely REAL thing
Whut..?
Exactly why im confused now.
Ive sold my NEM stake until i know for sure.
All i know is NXT has testnet running alongside the real thing so i would have assumed both are seperate.
Well, if you call Bitcoin Beta still a Beta, then yeah, NEM will also use real coin in the later beta versions. (Bitcoin is still in beta!)
But the first open beta launch will most definately on testnet. Wouldn't make any other sence. The network needs to be stresstested.
