Nemstake really took a dive from the dizzy heights of over 1000. It is getting so low now I am thinking of buying another one.
Maybe we need more of a community built up around the project yes?
[font=verdana]>>> Maybe we need more of a community built up around the project yes?[/font]
[font=verdana]Definitely. But, as with anything else, the question is how?[/font]
I think we need to create ways to allow even non-technical people to participate in NEM. We are a movement, after all. What do other movements do to attract people?
We need to create NEM as a "need" rather than a "nice to have" thing. Unfortunately, that can only be done when the ecosystem has more to offer. I wouldn't worry too much for now. Having said that, we'd need a long term strategy though.
I think we need to create ways to allow even non-technical people to participate in NEM. We are a movement, after all. What do other movements do to attract people?
How? Here are my two cents on how. I will take a few examples:
Bitcoin, first off the block and people find it the greatest thing since sliced bread. Nearing 6 years of championing and the only recipe for success. So, being what it is today goes without saying.
Litecoin, second front runner. But it is just a coin. So no differentiation. So is Primecoin and Peercoin, etc.
They are all coins, doesn't matter Proof of "what" they are doing. Makes no difference for the greater audience. They don't care.
A lot of things have been built around Bitcoin, e.g., Mastercoin, colored coin, Counterparty, etc. Then you have solutions providers such as Coinbase and Bitpay to name a couple. Like Altcoins, there are plenty of them around. Users will be confused and traction will be hard.
So, for a coin, Bitcoin has the best chance to survive for a while. As for the rest, they will just fade off as easy as they came as there is no value add. Pegging a coin to gold or a cow does not matter. It won't work to survive long term.
Then comes the promises of greater things. Ripple, Nxt, Ethereum, Stellar, Crypti, Maidsafe, Storj, etc.
All these have usage specific needs and they should do well for their intents. Maidsafe and Storj are about storage. They are crypto versions to dropbox or Google drive. They will eventually find their niche market and if done well, they will be able to survive for the purposes they are meant for.
Ripple and Stellar are two of the same thing and it appears that one will survive. Their purpose is specific. Whether they survive long term is a question of how they can do it. More about their "survivability" later.
Ethereum is a smart contract solution. There are already a few. Ethereum is the "front runner" because of their marketing. But it is believed they will have technological challenge. How far and wide they will go depends on the smart utilization of the war chest that they have now. But they should go far, given they are the richest crypto movement to date at probably close to 30m funds raised.
Then comes Nxt, Crypti, NEM and a few more initiatives. Technologically, they are different, but intents are pretty much the same. Hence, to the users, they don't care about the technology. They assume the technology is fail proof. If ever any of them fail because of technology, they will be buried for sure because users at large are like herds of cows. The minute they hear anything negative, they will want to steer away from it.
So, how can we stand out then with the looming competition? Well, if you take a step back, Satoshi had natural publicity because he was the first creator. So, if he surfaces and lead a new initiative today, he will win without a doubt. That's what happened to the "not so famous" but still famous enough Jed McCaleb. He managed to put his Stellar up and storm the world because of his branding as a "top developer of Ripple". And then there is Vitalik of ethereum, a prodigy they say, because of his age and his claim to fame for having conceived Ethereum at a time when everyone else is still mining and talking about just a coin.
From here we learn that the most important criterion to a big reception is the name of the person behind it. NEM has great developers, but they choose to remain anonymous and that is our biggest set back. If they went round the world presenting the concept of NEM and show the world in all the conferences, there would have been a big difference.
So, if you ask me how. Our great devs will need to show face. Until then we have no "celebrity" status and will not make a strong impact. The only way is to show how great and useful the platform is, which is a long and winding road. Anyway, having a brand is only one part of the equation. It is good only to influence the technocrats and the people in the know. That is about 2 million of us. So, it is a small thing actually. The masses is what we want to do which is the next challenge.
Now, the next challenge is how great is NEM as an ecosystem? That is also how the world at large will judge us. It must have its uses and it must have widespread need. Launching it with a wallet and some encrypted messaging solution will not make us the best solution and we could be disappointed if this is not well received. Hence, honestly, I am not concerned if we have a couple of impatient people wanting us to launch yesterday. I will not be affected by that and I will make sure I have enough things to launch as we progress and they must be announced immediately one after another so that people will hold their breath after each launch.
In conclusion, this is how I look at NEM. I won't care and I won't panic if each NEM Stake is worth only 1K Nxt. In fact, I don't even want to look at that. What I care most is that I MUST have a solution where I can go out there and convert 10 million people to use it. That is what I care most. And to do that, we will need to do it the conventional way. If 10 million use it, the war will be won. The NEM Stake or NEM coin will eventually find its own value in the marketplace. I care not the value of NEM today and I care not how much it is worth. I am not a speculator and therefore I care in choosing a different path, i.e., build NEM to be the Numero Uno ecosystem and platform that will change the way we do trade, commerce and finance.
We may have an apparent answer to that. It is being planned and it is hoped that we can do it.

Rome was never built in a day!
These are my personal opinions and do not reflect the opinions of the Dev team.
^^Fucking awesome post. Truly inspiring. Currently testing the wallet 
I disagree with rockethead on that part that we need a public figure.
Argument 1:
NEM needs to be decentralized, not talking about the technology but about our cumminity, what makes Cryptocurrencies so special is that everyone can help and contribute, the New Economy Movement must be seen as something that does not come from one Person or Organization but from the People. NEM represents ideas like
financial freedom, decentralization, equality and solidarity. A community of like-minded peope can uphold that promise. One individual, however smart and charming, cannot.
And if you are not of the philosophical kind - Argument 2:
Do we really want to give all the people who want to see us fail one single Target?
I have been without internet for 2 weeks so I am just catching up now. (First on a boat, and then sick because having been on the boat. hahaha)
Nice to come back to an interesting post.
Anyway, I mostly agree with what Rocket is saying.
What I hear Rocket saying is that for a coin to be successful it needs to have something like a well-proven and documented leader championing it. This does not have to be true, as was the case with Satoshi who at the time was totally mysterious, the exact opposite of a champion. When he created bitcoin, he was really a mysterious 0. Now he is a mythical hero. Anything he touches would turn golden instantly. (I do think he is still out there working. An inventor like Satoshi doesn't just make one thing and stops, he makes one thing, takes a break, and then goes at it again. He wasn't doing it for the money in the first place) But realistically, after Bitcoin was created, then yes, any other coin that is going to be big will probably have to have its champion.
This is in part related to a human nature in that people want to know somebody and put trust in them. Even if it is to trust a person that is selling a trustless product.
Anyway, it definitely helps if the dev team is open. People don't really want to buy into something that they don't know where it came from. It technically does not have to be a developer though. Just like how Andreas is an unofficial voice of Bitcoin, in many ways more respected and trusted that Gavin Anderson. And then there is Marc Andreessen who champions it from a different angle. And the list could go on and on.
Stellar just picked up the endorsement of one of the cofounders of PayPal, that is just one step away from Elon Musk. Any crypto that gets his endorsement is the winner, all others are finished, that includes bitcoin. But just getting the endorsements Stellar has so far is huge. Ethereum is in a very similar position, and as Rocket said, is very well funded and has a great team. If they get over the technically hurdles, it will be quite a challenge. I was one of the thousands of sheep that bought some Ethereum just to be on the safe side.
Other than Jed and Vitalik, I am curious about Come-From-BCNext. He/She/They have been quite clear all along that NXT test just a test, just to see if it would work before releasing the real project later. I think if such a project comes out, and has a name associated with it, then it too could be very successful. I don't know if the next NXT will come though, as he has already became a multimillionaire a few times over.
Really though, as I said up above, the endorsement doesn't have to be from the dev team. It could come from anywhere. Most companies learnt a long time ago that they could get better increases in sales by having a famous athlete or actor pitch their product other than the real inventor or creator. It is sad but true world that we live in, where having a real doctor explain to you a medicine he made doesn't work nearly as well as "I am not a doctor but I play one on TV" type of person sell a product. That was until people wisened up to that trick.
Now, all that being said, as far as I know the NEM community doesn't have any famous actors or celebrities and we aren't going to get any in the near future. So then yes, the next best thing would be to get the developers, all of them, to release their full public identity. If that didn't work, then hopefully NEM could find its "Andreas". I am actually a pretty good public speaker and have lots and lots of practice in the university setting, that would carry over to other areas quite easily. In fact, part of what I teach is public speaking and presentations. I would be willing to make some speeches, but because of my job, I would be restricted to only certain times.
So, basically what NEM's current best option is that all the leaders of the NEM community become open. There is a long history of founders of coins being anonymous, but there is also a long history of alts being scams. Nobody in Bitcoin is anonymous anymore.
To me, it seems about the only reason for a team to try to stay hidden and anonymous is if they are making an anonymous coin. As far as a know, that is not going to be a main feature of NEM in the start.
Hi Rocket thanks for your lengthy contribution, I agree with some of what you say but not others.
On speculation: I know devs like to say 'oh speculation is not the goal here, we hate that, it is about building a network'. But we must remember that the whole crypto industry is based on speculation, it is speculation that brings in the initial users and then and only then if they like the network they stay. So while I agree that building a great network should be a priority, we should not shut the door on speculators, ripple has tried to do this and struggled to gain any adoption. So it is important to find balance here, building a solid community but also communicating that nem is open for speculation.
Any dev who says things like 'this is all hard work and you wont make any money so go away speculators' sees little adoption. In an ideal world it might work that way but this is the world we have and know and we must appeal to the people in it at first.
On finding a niche: you speak about other network's niches but you don't give one for NEM.
I think the niche should be social networking. There is not a crypto currency protocol with great social networking tools yet. It should also be as FUN as possible. I think these things would make NEM unique. I know you are building some things in like messaging ad this is great and I hope it can be made more so.
I also think Codius integration is a must, this is a protocol that allows all crypto protocols to talk to each other and use smart contracts. If NEM is one of the first to implement it will already enter the space 'ahead' of NXT. Plus codius integration means it wont become outdated because it can connect with any other successful protocol and it will also be sucked along by the traffic of other protocols. I know I've gone on about this before but the magnitude of dialogue between protocols can't be underestimated. Scrypt and so on is already dying and crypto is changing fast, but codius will allow a software to remain relevant and not become isolated and dumped.
Hi Robbieboy,
Actually I made two main points. A "celebrity" or a well known programmer, or someone of influence that can contribute by putting a face to the initiative. Greyfox said it has to come from the community not from one person. But statistics and human nature show that most are always silent followers and apathetic, i.e., followers in a class called herd. Hence the community plays an important role but a champion will play a more important role to get more traction in a shorter time. It is called duplication of effort. 1 to 2, 2 to 4 and so on. But still, to create traction, it has to come from one or a few known figures.
The other main point I made was that there should exist a plan to hit the population at large.
I believe for anyone to enter the crypto world and use it, most probably, this person would have made his or her first entry as a bitcoin user. There are about 2 million "active" users in the crypto economy. There are probably another 200 million (my guess, no substantiation) out there who would have heard about it but are indifferent about it
So, the first point is to impress the 2 million out there who'd influence the 200 million as they go about talking about NEM. And that's all. Pricing of the NEM is important here as the 2 million are mostly speculators.
Although I care that the 2 million must know about it (which is one of my two main points), but, on the contrary and at the same time, I do not care about these speculators who probably consist of most of the 2 million people anyway. A bit of an oxymoron.
And here are my reasons:
My second point is more important, i.e, to hit the population at large. This group won't care about NEM as a value coin. They care about how easy and seamless it is to use the NEM ecosystem. They probably won't know what is harvesting and they won't care if it is a proof of a dog to get NEM. They probably want to know how much easier and convenient it is to use them for their daily lives. And we need 10 million of these people from a population of 7+ Billion who'd use it. And they will use it without needing to worry about NEM coin as a speculative "commodity". In fact NEM should only be a coin whose value gives enough ROI on the cost of harvesting for any participant. That should be the price.
For anything good to exist, there must be price stability. And usually stability means sterility, i.e, no point in speculating because the price is almost constant. So, "I don't care" because I want usage by these 10 million people who'd provide the catalyst for the world to adopt. And if 10 million use the ecosystem, it will have a geometric growth effect.
There are two parts to the equation. One is the traditional part, i.e., crypto value. This is a party for most of the 2 million people - speculation, velocity of change, pumping, dumping and mining.
NEM ecosystem is not about a coin anymore. As what it is, NEM is an ecosystem. NEM is about New Economy Movement, a new way to the "traditional" crypto movement of speculation, velocity of change, pumping, dumping and mining. Maybe that is an exaggeration as some people are also trying to create an ecosystem out of Bitcoin. But still, NEM has set out to be a different movement right from the onset.
So, NEM is about to start another party for the rest of the 7 Billion people. It should not be a speculative initiative but more so a platform or an ecosystem to enable and make easy how we do commerce, trade and finance. It should be sterile as a coin but virile as an ecosystem.
Lots of people may see it differently. Each for their personal interest. But that's OK. The thing that is so great about NEM is that it allows people coming from all directions to have a go at it. It can be used as a speculative tool (i.e., the coin), it can be used as a means to an end (i.e., the platform), it can be used for centralized initiatives and it is an ecosystem. True to its name, it is free for all to use. In the end, they will all contribute to the greatness of NEM.
And for each person who wants to champion NEM for his her own cause, NEM has room for it. I for one, will want to champion it for the 7+ Billion people.
So, yes, nobody here can be wrong with their ideas. It is only a perspective from another angle of the NEM ecosystem that we are all working on! In the end, we will all play a part in making this whole thing come together for the greater scheme of things.
NEM stake doing pretty well ATM but NXT price is down.
NEM stake doing pretty well ATM but NXT price is down.
in the scheme of things, the price of nxt doesn't really matter for nem unless your going btc>nxt>nem. if your only trading nem with nxt to make more nem it doesn't make any odds as long as you get more nem.. I havnt checked the USD value of nem in God knows how long..

I second what rockethead says.
Somebody who represents the community is important because you cannot trust "a project" or "a community" - you can only trust a person. Even if this doesnt make sense in a rational way, this is how people are. I believe this, too.
And to spread NEM to the world, I also think that most people (definitely the majority of the actual users) don't care for any background (technology). Who wants to see the code behind paypal? Who is asking his bank how they deal with online banking transactions? Who even knows anything about cryptography (which is of course absolutely essential to evaluate the security of something like the nem project)? The actual user saves the online banking password in his/her browser (without master password^^) or uses online banking on his mobile phone. And the actual user thinks that online banking is risky in general just because ONE bank didnt use good encryption.
So of course we should try to convince the people, who understand, by telling them WHY nem is better then bitcoin and all these alt coins. But the majority of the potential users will just follow others. And it is more likely that they follow known persons than an anonymouse dev community.
P.S.: Is there a list somewhere here which helps to shortly explain the main advantages? (in Germany we call that "Arguliner", dont know if this term is used in English) Would be great to have that for those people who do have interest in the background…
I have a question about the "application ecosystem" that is proposed for NEM. (In the alpha wallet, for example, there is the "Applications" link on the left which is currently disabled since it is not implemented yet.)
What types of applications are we going to be able to build with this? Since we are talking about possible social media applications, I was thinking something like a twitter or Facebook app built into the NEM ecosystem could be a significant selling point for NEM. For example, if there was a built-in twitter client, one could browse through their twitter feed and send/receive NEM tips directly through the NEM wallet via twitter, with the in-wallet balance being reflected immediately (as it is confirmed by the recipient and blockchain of course).
Such an application would already be significantly easier to use than any other cryptocurrency social media tipping service and could be something that brings NEM into the forefront of the competition. I don't know if such an app is possible to be built within the NEM ecosystem, but if we are given the tools to do so, this could be one possible application idea that could set NEM apart.

Actually, with the NCC open source now, this can be done. Anybody can do it. Tools are available in the open. For example, one can incorporate XMPP to do a Chat app. I believe the application is like an app store sort of concept where you download an app into your NCC. The app can be developed independent of the NEM and at the same time, it can incorporate what NEM already has. All the tools (well, at least most of the tools) are outside NEM.
Go for it! That's what AltNemo is trying to achieve too. :-)

As much as I'd love to get on this, I don't think my Java skills are anywhere near the level they would need to be do even begin on it. (I honestly don't even know where to start on such a project.) Hopefully someone out there more skilled than me can get it done though. Or, maybe if I knew how to even begin writing a program that can integrate into NCC I could attempt it... I just don't know enough to really get started at this point I think. :c

This will be a key feature of NEM...
At some point we should carry a client option based on NCC that allows plug-in applications to many internet services and NEM exchanges. This will be crucial towards mainstream adoption. Ideally, we can have an entire decentralized information ecosystem someday, but this is only theoretical until we have enough support to fund these projects. Until then we should be realistic, and allow some supporting centralized ecosystems in the client. NXT had a slew of clients relatively quickly, if we play our cards correctly we can have the same.
You want people to notice NEM? Focus on online payments, huge market, easier to setup online web carts then it is for ATM's, pos systems, debit cards etc. Focus on a segment of the population and not the whole population.
I think we need to create ways to allow even non-technical people to participate in NEM. We are a movement, after all. What do other movements do to attract people?
How? Here are my two cents on how. I will take a few examples:
Bitcoin, first off the block and people find it the greatest thing since sliced bread. Nearing 6 years of championing and the only recipe for success. So, being what it is today goes without saying.

They are all coins, doesn't matter Proof of "what" they are doing. Makes no difference for the greater audience. They don't care.

So, for a coin, Bitcoin has the best chance to survive for a while. As for the rest, they will just fade off as easy as they came as there is no value add. Pegging a coin to gold or a cow does not matter. It won't work to survive long term.
Then comes the promises of greater things. Ripple, Nxt, Ethereum, Stellar, Crypti, Maidsafe, Storj, etc.
All these have usage specific needs and they should do well for their intents. Maidsafe and Storj are about storage. They are crypto versions to dropbox or Google drive. They will eventually find their niche market and if done well, they will be able to survive for the purposes they are meant for.
Ripple and Stellar are two of the same thing and it appears that one will survive. Their purpose is specific. Whether they survive long term is a question of how they can do it. More about their "survivability" later.
Ethereum is a smart contract solution. There are already a few. Ethereum is the "front runner" because of their marketing. But it is believed they will have technological challenge. How far and wide they will go depends on the smart utilization of the war chest that they have now. But they should go far, given they are the richest crypto movement to date at probably close to 30m funds raised.
Then comes Nxt, Crypti, NEM and a few more initiatives. Technologically, they are different, but intents are pretty much the same. Hence, to the users, they don't care about the technology.

These are my personal opinions and do not reflect the opinions of the Dev team.
Why do you name Crypti? Are you a bagholders of this shit or what?
Pretty annoying that you name it in one sentence with NXT and NEM.
And even the comparison with NXT. We are not a clone, and I hope we are not going to build the exact same features like NXT and try to compete with them. We have to find our own path, our own features and our own use-cases.
So please stop comparing NEM to any other coin. I have never seen Ethereum doing that and they are right, they are unique, and that is what we wanna achive too.
Hi Speedy, it is amazing how so many things can change in the two months since he wrote this. At that time Crypti was suppose to be coming out with some new awesome proof-of-work that they had supposedly already got working and tested, and then it fell apart and now we now it is a trash coin. So many things can happen in 60 days. hahaha
