Not at all.
As you may have noticed, we've seen quite a few stakeholders offloading Nxt.
They have found an exit point they felt happy with which is good for the distribution and which we are very happy with.

Your example also seems to imply a static distribution over two and a half years, which is simply not true.
We've seen multiple stakeholders offload over the years, most visibly during the middle of last year when we had a downward pressure for a few months when an initial stakeholder kept selling around the 3000-4000 mark.

Ardor will start with a much improved distribution exactly due to this method.

I would also argue that there is no other way short of disenfranchising any current Nxt holders (which is a much larger group than the initial stakeholders. They consist of people who invested and traded for 2,5 years), which would be infinitely more destructive: we'd be breaching investor trust, which the devs refuse to do.

We are still looking into this, but it appears to have been some kind of network issue that affected other sites as well.

And it did not affect everyone since many clients were able to access the site without issue. I understand that it's frustrating no matter the cause, but so far it looks like there wasn't much we could do about this particular incident. But as I said we are still looking into it and I'll let you know if the assessment changes.

Hi All,

First, I apologize on the behalf of the Kraken team to all our clients for the recent instability in the website and API. Things are much improved at the present time and so far as we know everyone should be able to access the site OK or trade through the API. As you are probably aware, it was caused by a massive influx of traffic related to the DAO incident, which you can read more about here:

I'm also sorry it's taken a while for me to post here about it. In incidents like this, we will generally be focused on posting updates to our status page (twitter too, but the main focus will be the status page). If you subscribe to the status page you can get the updates by email or SMS. You can see the updates we've posted so far for this incident below:

Ideally I'd like to reply to all the posts and issues raised by this incident now, but unfortunately it will take me some time to get back to everyone. Thanks for your patience - I'll respond as soon as I can.

Share dilution doesn't matter in this ICO.  It took me a long time to realize this.  Dilution only happens when more people show up with more money that only makes Lisk more valuable.  BTC or XCR, doesn't matter.  Inflow of either  increases the price of the fewer Lisk you now hold.  Your donation still has the same overall value as when you made it.  There is no reason to wait.  If you are going to donate to Lisk, just do it!

In any case, we have some pretty great things in the working and 1 or 2 days from now we'll have a big announcement about stuff.

By the end of this week I think people will start understanding that in some sense our marketing work tries to be very similar to our technical work - which means we are aiming for real quality and are working on some things that have either not been done in crypto or have been done the wrong way. Stay tuned.

Must be some error in. T had only 1 stake!

Try to restart NIS, maybe that helps.

Is your NIS synced ?
Please check your system time and see if it's way off.

are you adding the unique message?

Also, have you contacted Poloniex?

i am not talking about AE, it was before that when NEM first launched. No one was allowed to claim NEM stake from more than 2 BTT accounts.

if you were given the choice to 1) stick with the and allow one sock master that controls 200+ stakes, and another that controls 7x stakes or would you 2) go against the vote and remove these monster sock masters? thats a fuck ton of stakes that could manipulate the market can cause all sort of havoc for years.. is it really worth sticking to a vote to risk something like that?

FUD is something NEM has dealt with from day 1. Bring it on I guess.
Your a Sr. Member and a known NXTer. If you make your case during the extended redemption period you and your friends might get their stakes back. TWinnderD (I'm sure the name rings a bell ?) was in the exact same situation and got most of his stakes back (but then again he just made his case and asked me instead of going striaght into the thread and starting to point fingers).

Hey  Mike,
I have been very open about all these questions with our CEOs. They all know about what is and what is not being done and I have never been anything but upfront about it.
The company does not exist because it would be just another monthly expense involving accountants and related mandatory commercial taxes.
Main HQ will be in Portugal, Faro in the southern Algarve. The inspirational settings that led me to develop Moby over the past years.
We are moving in atm to the new HQ, located at Largo de São Luis 11-C 1ºESQ 8000-143 FARO, beautiful open space with a 100sq meter terrace so we can test Moby full size.
Regarding the legality of everything, very pertinent, if you read the whitepaper you will understand that we are focused on FIAT. We dont intend to hide behind offshores or legal loops but offer simple internet services for FIAT, just as any company would do. In our case, we have a product called http://moby.io that is sold for EUR/USD while our software platform http://blocktrust.org is a simple interface in which the fees can also be paid in FIAT.
So its actually very simple and what we are as a company is completely legal as an online service provider and product designer/vendor. Here, take a look at our company descriptions, completely structured into the Portuguese legislation and financial coding:

DESCRIÇÃO: Design e comercialização de produtos habitacionais, embarcações e aplicações online.

74100 ActividadePs de design
71110 Actividades de arquitectura
46140 Agentes do comércio por grosso de máquinas, equipamento industrial, embarcações e aeronaves
41100 Promoção Imobiliária (Desenvolvimento de Projectos de Edificios)
55204 Outros Locais de Alojamento de curta duração
62010 Actividades de programação informática
63110 Actividades de processamento de dados, domiciliação de informação e actividades relacionadas
62090 Outras actividades relacionadas com as tecnologias da informação e informática

Sorry about the Portuguese.

Well, to finish this up, the company is seeking EU funds for Regional Development regarding new forms of Tourism and I&T technology. To accomplish this in perfection, the company registration was delayed to better fit the requirements of the QE just released last week.

To further enlighten everyone that hasnt been involved in a project of this dimension, we are seeking these funds as a whole, its called an "inter regional company partnership", or in other words: The Shipyard currently building Moby, The promoter that wants a Floating resort in the river Douro in OPorto, The local "Camara Municipal de Faro" council http://www.cm-faro.pt, The CCDR Algarve Developemnt Commission http://www.ccdr-alg.pt, Our own company and a couple of other investors are developing a masterplan involving the whole http://moby.io product.

I understand that some of these things are hard to gasp. Most are not used to working at this scale but even if you dont understand Moby, please take a look at our other projects http://blocktrust.org and http://iHash.co, both alone worthy by themselves as an Archcoin asset.

Regarding the digital token/real company paradox. I took a simple approach: we have 3 DACs, blocktrust, ihash and Archcoin, owned and managed by a real company that provides internet/software services and sells/develops a designer product, Moby. While the DACs deal with simple token exchange, giving themselves value over time, the Arch company sells Inspirational dwellings for FIAT and uses 50% of its profits to buy back Arch from the market. In the end of the period described in the WP, we can exchange those digital tokens to real shares in our company.

Sorry if I missed any of your questions, i'll keep at it during the next days. Its not linear but i'm doing my best to keep everything as clear as possible without putting in risk the current negotiations with the companies involved.

Best regards,
Edgar Soares

I don't want to sound like a jerk because I really have faith in NEM, but it just doesn't appear to me the NXT AE is really utilized that much, so I kind of feel like we are #1, but it is like being #1 in removing bottlecaps with your forehead...

Just feels like we are over-hyping this a bit.
