Can we please stop the coin number discussion? People are talking about NEM when they are discussing it, not the "8 or 8.888 billion total coin cryptocurrency". Total waste of time this..
Isn't coin number about NEM? Or you want us to switch subject and talk about NOBLECOIN? That will be a waste of my time, too.
Why are you involving noblecoin in this? I'm supporting them, hence my sig, but I'm not starting a discussion about them here.. Leave noblecoin out of this.
I'm a stakeholder in NEM and that's why I feel useless discussions should end at some point. It's not good marketing towards new people if the main discussion about one of the greatest projects in crypto is about something as small as the total amount if coins.
There have been discussions for weeks about something that's hardly used in daily practice and those discussions should end and make room for more constructive ones.
You may think it is frivolous but the point is it needs consensus. With so many fuds, this must be discussed. If everyone thinks it is nothing, this wouldn't have been such a topic. Further, it will affect the market price of NEM. Shouldn't you be interested if you are a stakeholder? What affects your concern more? How to claim?
It would indeed affect the price per NEM, but not the market cap or price per stake. Therefore, from a price point of view I couldn't care less whether we have a 4 billion or 888 billion supply. The stake will be worth the same.
I understand the reasons to this number discussion and get that most people want an 8 rather than a 4, but to keep going at different variations of 8, especially in this stage of development just isn't efficient and fruitful.
Concerns have been voiced, dev team took notice, alternatives were provided, and I'm sure a good decision will be made on the total number.
