I don't fully agree. Nem was not the first nor the second with POS.
What made Nem popular from the beginning was that it was linked to Nxt + it was given for free in the beginning + many made sock accounts to claim many stakes so their thread filled up very quickly.

LOL, that's what keeps Bitcoin alive even though it has very slow transactions.

Who is here staying directly in contact with the NEM managing team? maybe  "n3lz0n"  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=216877 ?

They might have skipped NEM cause they do not hold any XEM position. As simple as that: It is not in their interest to direct their investors to buy XEM. Or maybe they are concerned about NEM's market depth.

maybe it's the market depth. Because their greatest interest might be in Maid. Can you believe it, even Doge is on their list 

Wasnt the marketing fund distributed not so long ago. I belive they accepted 1/3 of the original allocation And they are all not from Asia. There is also another 400 million (ish) Nem still there allocated for conventional and non conventional Marketing. Look at the richlist for accurate figures

Hell, smart contracts, yeah. Or, ehm, i don´t know. In public its just about coins, thats as far as crypto in public understanding goes, for the moment, and even thats to much.
But lets start as a coin, which is: no energy waster, 1 minute blocktimes, beautiful wallet, delegated harvesting, smart phone wallet, ios and android, exchanges, we will improve on, what else? How to make newbies interrested at their level.

For any newbie: lately i made a transaction, thinking, i´ll go to toilet meanwhile, when i came back, my wallet was sitting there, asking me: What else, master ?
I think, i´m boring my wallet   

Wheras my bitcoin-wallet . . .  You know the rest of the story.

Hello Hopefully Someone Here can give me the right advice or guide me.

A Little About me:

- I am an Investor.

- I am not a programmer

- I am very much interested in investing/purchasing NEM/XEM

But here are the Hurdles I faced:

- When I tried to create a Nem Wallet

- There is an issue with Mac/Safari.

I am not sure If this issue is only with Safari or Mac itself.

Anyways, this is not a big issue since I can easily create one and use a Windows computer.

yet I was wondering what would be the best way If I just got chrome for Mac ?  (i.e if its just a Safari issue)

or lets just keep this simple and I have no problem using my PC to create this wallet.


What Further Discouraged Me

What further has discouraged me is that you have to Harvest your NEM/XEM coins.

So my question is what If I am an investor and I just buy the coins and do not harvest them or anything. Are they still Good coins. What happens ?

- However, harvesting should Not be rocket science and what If I even take this step and learn how to harvest. No problem.

Then, I Further started reading that the way NEM/XEM works is that If I do harvest my coins, then Other NEM/XEM owners can access my Computer/PC.

I certainly do not want anyone accessing my computer because I at least have some important information in each of my computers.

Now, I am thinking If I buy a new/cheap computer or a second hand computer just to use for NEM/XEM but it seems a bit too much.

Please, If someone could clarify, I would greatly appreciate it.
Any advice someone can give me, I would be very thankful.

Also, these questions could also be running through many new investor's mind.

I am open to take in any information from a programmer here or just a simple investor like me who is not a programmer and how his/her experience was buying NEM.

I do agree starting off as POW attracts the huge 'miner' mostly bitcoin community.  These guys have the funds to invest in other coins.  Without POW, NEM is often overlooked ... but then again NEM is not targeting the crypto community

Also, what average individual can really 'mine' bitcoin?  Which shows it is much more centralized when 1 miner pool/individual can do so much damage with the current bitcoin debate/drama.

With NEM, only 10,000 is enough to harvest and as the network grows and txs increase, each block will hold more and more valuable fees.  So 3 million won't be required to harvest and profit, you can even do this with your PC off!

The supernode program wont last indefinitely, it was created to secure the network which it has done successfully, I really dont see them dropping the requirement.

Whales have been buying as the # of supernodes continue to increase, just like this guy:

You don´t have to harvest anything, thats just a plus.
Your coins are yours, without any condition. They´re yours, basta !
