In addition to its own efforts, Nimiq is sponsoring blockchain research at Stanford University’s Applied Cryptography Group under Dan Boneh (since August 2018) and a PhD position at Imperial College’s Centre for Cryptocurrency Research and Engineering under Arthur Gervais (since October 2017). Most recently Nimiq sponsored the 1st International Summer School on Security & Privacy for Blockchains and Distributed Ledger Technologies, a program jointly organized by members of the Technical University of Vienna (TU Wien) and Princeton University.

So in other words, you need to give them money for them to work with you.
Pathetic, like paying a prostitute because you can't get it free. Haha

Weak sauce Richy boy, weak sauce.

Don't you dare censor this.

If we get censored on bitcointalk, I will start a reddit channel and post on 4chan exposing the shit of nimiq, weg ghost bank (btw: no more Agora bank??? no more agora ico???), and tokenpay.

None of this would fly on Reddit so it'd be pretty funny to see how they'd respond to you.  There's so much good information out there about Nimiq that anyone could see through your claims, and they could always join Discord or Telegram to chat with the community.

The Nimiq WooCommerce plugin was added today to the WordPress Plugin Registry and an E-commerce Store is already using it, accepting NIM in their WordPress-based store.

That was fast!

Nimiq welcomes carniumbotanicals.it to a growing ecosystem.

I'm really happy that Carnium Botanicals was able to set up the plugin, and it was neat to be there in the Discord when he asked about it and then actually added the plugin.  Just goes to show how amazing the Nimiq community is and how quickly it grows.  It may be slow going to get people interested, but once they start to see what Nimiq can do and talk with the community they usually stay for good.  I hope we'll see more merchants that aren't as dev/tech heavy notice Nimiq so they can see how easy Nimiq is to use!

I will add that Nimiq team is not capable of generating its own partnerships.
All Nimiq's existing partnerships were formed by outside parties coming to them. In that way Nimiq is like a freeloader that accepts free shit from other people, but is incapable of providing enough value to initiate partnerships it desires itself. To be clear, this means that all existing exchanges which Nimiq is on was a result of the exchange coming to Nimiq, but if Nimiq initiates the contact with an exchange e.g. Bittrex, the exchange is not interested since Nimiq is not bringing much value to the table itself. I hope I make myself clear.

Everything you say is not true and can be debated easily  Cool

- What about Bidali? Contacted by us.
- What about Changelly? Contacted by us.
- What about ChangeHero? Contacted by us.
- What about KuCoin? If you think they reached us to list NIM... then that's a compliment and an honor. But to be honest we contacted them.
- And TrustWallet? Contacted by NIMIQ COMMUNITY


I love how proud the Nimiq Team is of the community and that they are exactly right:  Both the team and community are making constant efforts to bring Nimiq to the masses, whether it's reaching out to influencers/potential users, creating use cases, contacting exchanges, accepting NIM in their store, etc...

Hi there, long time Nimiq fan here and same for BAT which I saw mentioned.  I've had varied interest in both at pretty much all stages of the project (just an idea, beta, main launch, now) and think they're both great projects.  What I see in both projects is an extremely exciting team, BAT due to having Brendan Eich behind it and NIM due to the incredibly dedicated team that's created it from the ground up.

I am closely following Nimiq for almost 2 years now. Nimiq has very strong team and delivering high quality product.

I completely agree, the Nimiq team has been putting out big release after big release with smaller events constantly in between for the past 6 to 8 months!  If this acceleration continues, 2019 will be an exciting year!

I really don't know if this coin will grow, maybe will have some grow only on bull run with this high supply i think is hard to have high price, but maybe some potential is if team behind it continue development.

I think this is the big problem for the project, lack supporting community and it will be very hard for a project to gain public adoption in this space without huge community support and another thing here is that project like this can easily be forked and improve upon and another team will take credit for the ground work

I think Nimiq has a really solid community behind it, and while it's not giant it's definitely not small.  What I like most about Nimiq's community is that it's very active and the team is constantly interacting with us to make sure Nimiq is going down a path the community can agree with.  Of course forks can happen, and it's been mentioned in Nimiq chat channels at pivotal events, but any project can be forked and improved upon which is the whole point of open source projects.  What matters isn't the idea but the execution, and the Nimiq team has both down really well.  Any team that wanted to fork and improve Nimiq could try, but there'd need to be some real motivation behind it for them to outpace the rate at which the Nimiq team is improving the project.
