Maybe you know a few reasons?  @gimre ...

I don't know.

Above was mentioned PoI ...  was somewhere discussed, what was the reason to change or drop(?) PoI from Symbol ?


If that is  a question, short answer is: PoI does not scale.

The case of the captured account is now solved by Bitcointalk account recoveries / The Bitcoin Forum Team.

Congratulations.

One reason is certainly the stupid and hasty ego trip of a core dev.

I love you too.

who has not send the tokens to the exchange before will not be able anymore to sell. Strange action by Binance, as it was said that NEM should still exist next to Symbol project.

reading problems?

200 million xem silver funds snapshot

FUD, those will not be touched. There's also no entity that would deal with silver coins, so they probably will get burned.

Also, as Lon put it ages ago: "Note: The execution of the silver coin project is not guaranteed and will only proceed providing that XEM market cap and liquidity are sufficient to cover the expenses with the allocated stakes. "

Nemers, it is critical to delay critics for few months.

VOTE YES for both NEM Foundation and NEM LABS

Then stay tuned to measure and support their performance using constructive criticism.

why?

Thank you for clarifications, two questions:

  • Building more API's to make things simpler such as multiple block validations in single API calls

Why do you want such thing?

Why use nem library as a base, instead of (catapult based) https://github.com/nemtech/nem2-sdk-typescript-javascript ?

What's the deal with someone forking right now?  I don't really know how any of that sort of thing works.

As it stands can anyone anywhere help themselves to the code and do something new? Is there some sort of rights situation?

It's a library and it's MIT licensed, they are free to copy/modify it.
Also they go full KYC, so it might be interesting project, we'll see how it's gonna evolve.

Cache SDK - completed
https://github.com/cache-official/cache-typescript-sdk

vs

NEM Library
https://github.com/aleixmorgadas/nem-library-ts

Looks like a fork to me, but is not a fork? 🕵️

Re: NEM harvesting ......

Someone has practised with Google Doc's Science Templates Smiley
and found the Dev's fingerprint from the PoI algorithm Wink

https://docs.google.com/document/d/13M3wbdjI0Nzx-OKAd0dRCfOYFA_oT9Ydg96DkiUBsDs/edit?usp=sharing


We've briefly seen the paper, it's good to see time taken to do outsider's analysis.

regarding fingerprint, problem is the data used:
  • the doc takes all harvested, but balance/importance of an account could change over time... (i.e. take a look at funny outliers presented in a table above, that have high hBlks/r_imp_H, balance is very low, what does it tell you? the doc even states Balance:  r_hBlks / r_imp_H  has a weak correlation 0.344 should it really be surprising if you take ALL harvested blocks, but take only LATEST importance?)
  • fingerprint graph on x has balance, on y has hBlks/r_imp_H,
    • mind that there's correlation between balance and importance...
    • as you can see pattern emerges for low amounts (10k - 100k), so emerging pattern shouldn't really be surprising,
      with low amount you probably generate only few blocks (10-100) so what you have on this image is / importance x balance,
      i.e. compare two accounts with same r_imp_H, where one harvested 9 blocks and other 10 blocks: (9 / 1601000) / (0.00003) = 0.1873 vs (10 / 1601000) / (0.00003) = 0.2082, thats' where the vertical gaps come from,
      horizontal linearity should be obvious as well, bigger balance == bit bigger importance, i.e (10 / 1601000) / (0.000031) = 0.2014 vs (10 / 1601000) / (0.000030) 0.2082

Total transactions per second:
    Visa: 24,000
    Ripple (CCC: XRP-USD): 1,500
    PayPal: 193
    Bitcoin Cash (CCC: BCH-USD): 60
    Litecoin (CCC: LTC-USD): 56
    Dash (CCC: DASH-USD): 48
    Ethereum (CCC: ETH-USD): 20
    Bitcoin (CCC: BTC-USD): 7



https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@steemhoops99/transaction-speed-bitcoin-visa-iota-paypal
VISA can handle on average around 1,700 transactions per second (tps), call it a daily peak rate of 4,000 tps.
PayPal, in contrast, handled around 10 million transactions per day for an average of 115 tps in late 2014.
Today the Bitcoin network is restricted to a sustained rate of 7 tps due
Iota can already handle between 500-800 tps.
Ethereum – 20 transactions per second (Cost= 0.01-0.1 USD+)



Only of those above, which itself advertises its speed is VISA Smiley
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_Inc.
can handle up to 30,000 simultaneous transactions and up to 100 billion computations every second


Is this the raw truth?
If it is, that makes two things true.
Crypto currencies are too slow for real world usage. And therefore LemonAndFries had it right:NEM is an experimental.


Now time for some fun facts that wikipedia won't tell you:
  • a) in case of any problems visa is pushing responsibility onto the banks
  • b) guess what, banks will push responsibility on you
  • c) they can achieve such speed, mostly cause they don't friggin care about double spends, why?
    glad you ask, well see a) and b)
  • d) if your card will get cloned and used in some other country - guess what you'll be charged, getting money back often takes few months... (mind cloned not stolen, in case of stealing, chargeback to the rescue)
  • e) there are many POSes, that do not require chip-based authorization
  • f) even worse, there are places, that do not require your PIN when using magnetic stripe - only your signature - you might be lucky if someone will use your stolen card in this way, cause in this case banks often shift responsibility onto seller, and he'll have to cover for his loss
  • g) banks have limits on the losses they cover, so i) they will not cover if there was not enough funds stolen ii) usually there's some upper limit as well (although it'd be highly unlikely to get past it - i.e. you shouldn't keep that much money on account associated with your credit/debit card)) in EU it's several thousand of euros

So yeah, Heil VISA and let the banks live and prosper ❤️

It would be good if team gives it also more lightweight and cool narrative.

What does this even mean?

focus to make it more attractive for typical crypto users and mainstream cases.

can you define typical crypto user?
