I started this thread with one of my personal accounts because it already had activity. Then I created the account Nimiq and started using that one.

No. Liqui will not activate your NIM for you. You have to do it yourself!.

We strongly recommend you withdraw your NET to your OWN Ethereum wallet and then use that wallet to activate your NET.

New Blog Update: Luna Protocol Update 1 - Extra Data and Support for Safari & Edge

Luna has run for about 10 days now without any major issues. Today we announce our first update fixing various minor bugs and introducing some new features

To learn more about Luna check our Blog update Luna has landed

It is not expected. Probably because of the low global hashrate after our new version release. Try again in a few minutes when more miners have updated their clients and are working in the same chain

Design Blog 2: Identicons

An Identicon is a visual representation of a hash value. Since Nimiq aims for better usability than conventional cryptocurrencies we weren’t satisfied with state-of-the-art Identicons. We have decided to base Nimiq's Identicons in Robohash.

Our port of the Robohash library is open source and contributed to the public domain. We’d love to see other projects use our library and help us enhance the code and maintain the repository.

Actually one of our main concerns is the environment. We aim for a secure and scalable network that does not require as much power as other Blockchain-based payment protocols.

We are proud of being based in Costa Rica which speaks a lot about our general ecological mindset.

Check this achievement of Costa Rica, the whole country's energy has come solely from renewable energies for 300 days and counting!

LUNA HAS LANDED: New Version of the TESTNET

We are happy to announce that at 2017–11–23 at 17:53:48 Luna has landed in our release branch and is now live for the public.

This is the final major update before the Nimiq Mainnet launch. Luna introduces all remaining core protocol features such as:

- Nano clients establishing consensus with the network by downloading just about a megabyte of blockchain data.
- Light clients that securely sync to almost full consensus by downloading just about 100 MB.
- High degree of miner decentralization by using Argon2 as memory-latency bound Proof-of-Work algorithm.
- Multiple significant performance improvements such as WebAssembly modules, Ed25519 signatures and fast database transactions.
- An intuitive address format designed for usability, based on the IBAN standard.

VLOG Update: Hacking The Hackers

In this VLOG we comment about the crew's current dynamic location and the constant but futile hacking attempts.You always have to be ready for potential hacking threats, especially when working on open source projects.

We encourage users to code their own miners. However we are looking into Memmory Bound PoW algorithms so Browsers always stand a chance while having less power consumption

We never intended to be misleading. 1:10 conversion rate is just something that made sense during tokensale based in our project-cost/total-supply analysis and ETH price. We welcome suggestions about the rate since Mainnet is not launched yet and this could be modified (doesn't mean we sill change it, just that we are open to hear you opinion)

VLOG Update: Cool GitHub Community Contribution

It's always awesome to receive open source contributions to our project, specially cool ideas like NIMA: A chrome extension that lets you manage all your Nimiq wallets directly in your browser.

I think if you use Exodus you should use Exodus Eden which actually supports ERC20 Tokens like NET

VLOG Update: Nimiq Technical Update with Pascal
