How do I get importance on the NEM blockchain?

read

One of the most asked questions in various crypto-related chats is how Proof-of-Importance works. There's already an article on that, so you should read that article here if you haven't already. After learning what PoI is, most people will then ask the next logical question: "How do I get importance?"


This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at http://blog.nem.io/how-do-i-get-importance-on-the-nem-blockchain/

At the very end of this post it says gaming the system is possible but not profitable. If a very rich individual wanted to disrupt the system even if it cost them money… what could they achieve?? I’m struggling to understand how this would affect the ecosystem…

They could game the system a bit, but my guess is that the fees they would have to pay would make this practice not profitable. It would be great to see someone try, it would result in fuller blocks, and happy harvesters :slight_smile:
