I click register, it says registered, and thats it? I thought I will get some kind of registered link or some password or some kind. This is just to see how many are active?

It's to see how many unclaimed but more importantly to provide people with a way to decouple their stake from btt.
If you record the token somewhere else and delete the pm you are completely independent of btt from that point forward. Considering all the scams and lost passwords lately I think this is absolutely crucial to have as soon as possible even if it means splitting the reigstration into two parts.


received the token! For the second step i need install the NEM Client, or it is possible to sent the NEM to a Exchange? This because i have no private pc/mac to install the Client.


I believe (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong) that what will happen is you will end up getting a private key for an address containing your NEM which you can import into the client at any time. So, even if you do not have the ability to install the client right now, you can just hold on to that private key until you can figure out what to do with the coins. If you do not plan on using them or selling them any time soon, I assume you could just keep the private key in cold storage and decide what to do with it later.

I could be wrong though, but I am pretty sure that is how the distribution is going to work.
