Re: NEM Official Moderated Thread - Crowdsale has begun[Updates & Discussion]

"One asset is convertible to a 1oz 999 pure silver proof bullion coin, with a cold wallet attached containing 100 NEM. Worldwide, insured shipping included in price."

so the coin is worth more than the nem inside ? seems not very smart. i'd have bought some if coin was loaded with 100k nem for fun ("NEM will have a maximum of 4 000 000 000 coins")

my ~~2 cents~~ 100NEM

Considering that the coins are selling for 100k NEM, I don't think it is reasonable to ask for silver/packaging/minting/shipping/insurance for free Wink

Yes, If 100k NEM was added to the gold coin then it would have cost much more than the current price. The idea is to sell a physical commodity and support the development of a "Mobile Wallet and a Fast Exchange". So people buying these coins are not only helping the developers raise some money to help fund the side projects but they are also doing a huge favour to themselves and the whole community. In the end they also own physical assets which are not likely going down in value in the future. Infact in 2-3 years when NEM has reached greater heights, these coins will be highly collectible and will carry a hefty price tag. These side projects are really going to define NEM and make NEM standout from the rest of the Coins currently in existence.

I don't know of any other altcoins daring enough to mint solid gold coins

Also, remember that AltNemo will grant special privileges to people that buy the coins.

What are the special privileges?

The privileges cannot be announced publicly because of the legalities surrounding it. The eventual holders of these metal rounds are automatically members that are considered private to our initiative. Only then they are accorded these "privileges".
