Yes.

Question becomes:
Why price of NXT is falling?

We really appreciate the effort. It is exciting to see people come forth with ideas!

Looking at the selling pressure today, I really would not rule out breaking 550. We might very well test the green support line that pftq was drawing a few posts ago. It is currently around 520. If 520 would not hold, there is not much technical support until 440.

But I hope 550 holds fine and we rebound now.

Alpha = 100% testnet and monopoly money. Beta = Likely to be in the testnet for the first phase and then move to the main-net (with real stake and coins). It is still undecided whether nemesis block is on launch day or in beta. It doesn't make much difference imo.

NEM Beta will include some special features. Even NEM open Alpha will likely include special features that are not in other coin's launch. For example: NIS codes for secure messaging have been completed and just need GUI to be on Open Alpha. Secure messaging is not even in Nxt NOW 9 month after the coin launch. Talk about the difference between one system's alpha and the other system's so-call advanced stage.

NEM beta will include features that have never been in any other system. What are they ? We cannot tell you because the codes are not completed and there are some uncertainty in the implementation. However, there will be at least one special feature moving from NEM Alpha to NEM Beta.

What people need to realize that even if they are rich in cryptos it doesn't mean they are rich in fiat. At least not at this point. Until you can pay your rent, food  and everything you need everyday with cryptos you'll always have to go through exchanges to get to fiat. What do you think would happen if all of a sudden 3000 people try to cashout 500k USD ? Exactly...noone get's squat.

NEM isn't supposed to make anyone rich quickly. It's supposed to be a better BTC that will actually be capable of replacing fiat (because btc isn't) hopefully at some point in the future. That's what seperates us from shitcoins. We have a goal beyond releasing a coin and hiting some exchanges.

Yes that would be really nice but the problems with the tasks could be that
the developer could require more time to describe and delegate the task then to
solve it by themself.  

Currently, the core codes are being developed by Jaguar, Gimre, Theis and Makoto. Rico will join soon and BloodyRoockie will join at some point. There will be some milestones announced after the public auditing but do expect some changes given that codes are built from scratches.

I like to have a site similar to localbitcoin for NEM as early as possible so I am looking for people doing that. There are also many ideas throwing around as well but imo core development is the most important aspect at this point.
  

We are either going to create a client based on minusbalancer's NXT client or create a new one from scratch. I would like to add a few novel features to the NEM client, but I'm still thinking through them. If anyone is a UX designer and wants to help design the client, PM me.

Good point! But won't the 0.1% fee be a bit high considering the long term of the coin? If it gains success nobody will be willing to pay those transfer fees. The fee should at least have to possibility of being lowered in the future.

Also if POI is to be implemented it will be important IMO that there will be a account/alias bound reputation system.

But the major flaw that I see atm with POI is regarding the fact that you can just circulate coins between your own account and get hashing power that way. If this isn't prevented somehow I suggest that the forging will be at maximum 20% based on POI.

But these are all my speculations, I've got no legitimate knowledge on the mechanisms of POI. Lets just see that how the white paper turns out.
