Hey all, NEM has recently come to my attention through some comments on an article I wrote about PoS for CoinTelegraph. I am still a little skeptical about PoI because the math is beyond my comprehension so I am unsure of how well it can work. I plan to get help understanding it from experts so I can make my final decision about NEM
That being said, I love the commitment to cryptocurrency ideology that NEM's community has and I fully support the goals of a new economy that NEM has.
I do have a question that I need answered that could make or break NEM for me right now: is it fully, 100%, opensource?

Not yet 100% opensource but most of the code has been released; I hope the remaining will be soon.
I had a quick look at the sources and I can say it's really high quality code, professionally designed and written.
You can search this forum for API documentation and technical reference too.
Nem strives to be as welcoming to new developers and contributors as possible so almost everything is open source and you can find it here https://github.com/neweconomymovement/
However NIS which also entails POI and Eigentrust++ is still closed source. It will of course become open source at some point allthough there is no word on when that might be.
Anyone that is qualified todo a code review could maybe get time limited access though (if you ask the devs nicely :)). For example Poloniex got to do a code review because they are afraid of deploying malware on their systems.

That is disappointing to hear. I really like the concepts behind NEM and would love to see it opensource. I just don't feel comfortable trusting large amounts of my money in an algorithm that doesn't have that many eyes on it. Though I might buy a small amount just because I like everything else about it.
