What NEM features are you most excited about?

Trying to get some conversations going on this forum. Post what features you're looking forward to or hope to see.

I think that thread is kind of old (and pre-alpha). But, yes, it's very similar. Maybe a new thread will liven things up. That's the hope anyway.

High frequency exchange and whatever else can avoid me using other wallets if I have to pay in bitcoins/litecoins/doge/nxt/whatever

Rule based accounts, multisignature accounts and what else can improve security.

If we want to succeed NEM must be easy, useful and safe for tech unsavvy end users.

Will NEM have an Asset Exchange like NXT?

If yes. How will NEM display this? Will you guys hide the Assets as well? Because of name squatting or will you think of a better solution?

Is there a list of current features and upcoming features like NXT so we can check it out?

After that we can discuss it much better here.

That's a good point. The hard part is sperating what will most definitely come and what might come. Especially details often change even during implementation.

I'll try to put together a primitive roadmap.

Mobile app is a must !


Reduce syncing time, some type of snapshot


I would love to see blockchain compression in NEM. But, clearly, it's an after-launch feature.

Any details on this "high frequency exchange "? Keep hearing those words but no specs, will it be open source? Closed source? Third party? Where is the money going to come from to setup the exchange?


It is a spin-off. To be initiated by the crowdsale.

Assets traded on the AE should be tradable with each other instead of using NEM as the only way to trade. This appears to be the shortcoming of NXT. One can only trade using Nxt for all exchanges. For example, one cannot buy NXTventure with NEMstake in the AE without converting to Nxt first.

Sounds like rippling?

"It is a spin-off" well that clears it up.

So money from the community is going to be used for it but no information is to be provided to the community? Shouldn't they know about NEWCO or whatever you will be calling your company?


Mobile apps and a centralized exchange will be developed by a company. The coin crowd sale is to raise funds for these and other ecosystem so that we don't need to take other community funds to pay for doing these things.

Wasn't NEM meant to have have that effect? ;)

Yes, good idea.

I'm very curious how the Asset Exhange will look like in NEM.

The user experience in NXT is not so good. No Asset is shown so the user must search for an Asset ID on the internet before he/she can buy it.

Nxtreporting.com and nxtblocks.info shows them nicely. But you can't buy them there obviously.

If NEM takes user experience seriously it would take a good advantage over NXT.

Please, make this point clear to everybody.

People are buying coins believeing to fund NEM community. They are instead funding a company that will develop this software.

Who are the stakeholders of that company?
Are crowdfunders too going to be stakeholders of that company?
Will software be onpensource?

They are funding the community or rather the ecosystem. The community will profit from those projects. What where you thinking where those funds will go ? Split up among stakeholders ?

Community is already paying NIS and NCC developers to do their job; the result is that community is the owner of produced software.

For mobile app and centralized exchange (part of) the community pays but will it be the owner of the software?

I have nothing against the community paying a company to develop software but this shoud be better done via a public auction and property of software must be transferred to the community itself (or at least to the crowdfunders).
Short answers given in this forum let me suppose it will not be like that.

I really hope I'm wrong but it smells like crony capitalism which is just the opposit of "equality of opportunity".
Please, please, tell me that I'm wrong.

Hope NEM will have a pocket knife and flashlight feature implemented for a more practical use[font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif].[/font]

There will be a more detailed announcement tonight or tomorrow.

Let me tell you this though. How many companies are there in the btc ecosystem ? Hundreds if not Thousands. Do you think most of the software belongs to the community ? The core, bitcoin blelongs to the community - everything built on top of that mostly belongs to businesses (exchanges, payment processors,...). It'll be the same for NEM. Everything that's implemented directly into NEM will always be open-source and the devs will listen to the community. Whatever people build on top of that and whatever business they build utilizing NEM is something else. The fact that the funds are raised the way they are doesn't change that. It's not like anyone is forced to buy coins.

Thinking about it some more - how is the community paying for anything ? So far people have payed a small fee and they get NEMs in return which are already worth multitudes of what people payed.
