Alright mates how the fuck do I get myself one of them NEM token things? I'm on the ol' stakeholder list, just wondering how I claim it and I'm too lazy to search.

stake asset claims have been temporarily halted as far as im aware. its in response to scammers trying (and a minority) suceeding in their attempts

alrighty then waiting it is cheers
your cryptocobain on Twitter right? Can I ask wby coins like vert and red get mentioned 24/7 when they rise 10% but when nxt does 3fold in 3 weeks, it's never mentioned once? I'd love to hear why nxt gets a media black out but shitcoins are talked about 24/7? I guess nem will get the same treatment?

aye that's me. personally i hated NXT's distribution model, got terrible press due to that and due to it's closed-source launch.

Although i completely get (and agree with) your point. Isn't it rather unfair to have any bias when covering anything crypto-related in terms of news?

This is after all, why many people have a growing distrust of journalism(ists) and news sites in general.

It also seems against your interests too - if NXT coin, for example, suddenly became the talk of the crypto world (For whatever reason) you've potentially missed out on a large bunch of traffic  because of your dislike of a currency, and stance to not report on it. Just seems wrong to pick and choose especially when it comes to any sudden increases in currency valuation.

Nonetheless, the vast majority in the NEM camp likely share your perspective regarding NXT's IPO. I know i do; in your shoes though, i'd still make any relevant reports as unbiased as possible.

And btw, Nirvana is awesome.
