NEM is still here, though. I just wished I'd picked up two or three instead of one. But back then $30 was what I could afford to lose.
I regret not reserving a stake for a friend or a relative too. Actually at that time there was no point in doing that because they were planning to make a NXT clone, and nobody could expect the final result we are seeing now. Still no news on the silver coins, or they have already abandoned the idea?
What's the silver coin idea?
it´s coming up every few pages. The initial stakeholder should receive some kind of silver coin from the unclaimed stake fund. But the team just got other things going on
The silvercoin fund dates back to 2014 afaik, that's back in the crypto Jurassic period with the dinosaurs, use the funds to support the security of the network, top up the SN program.
Yes it dates back to the genesis block where funds were taken to provide a reward for stakeholders (silvercoins). If the funds were not taken, everyone would have received a larger stake. Now if the funds are not to be used to reward the original stakeholders, the funds should be returned to the original stakeholders.
You will never get an answer from the devs or the foundation on this here though or a noting has been decided yet, 4 years later.
My feeling is there will be a 5 day vote that pops up someday in which the fund will be "voted" into dev funds or foundation "projects"
