Welcome @Jerome
You will find that we’re a friendly group that is very focused on enhancing the features on our network. If you take the time to go through past controversial discussions (such as our motion to open our source code) you will notice that there are always passionate people on both sides of issues, but that we pride ourselves on remaining polite. You will probably also notice that we favor arguments that are backed by evidence as opposed to emotion. If you choose to become a NuShareholder you will likely disagree at times with the democratic decisions shareholders make; those shareholders who are able to accept this will thrive in our consensus-driven community.
It can be a big learning curve to understand NuBits and NuShares in-depth, but we’ve compiled resources to help newcomers. We’ve accomplished a lot since releasing in Sept 2014. I would suggest reading the following resources at your leisure:
- FAQs: https://nubits.com/about/faqs
- Price Stability: https://nubits.com/about/price-stability
- White Paper: https://nubits.com/about/white-paper
- NuShares Introduction: https://nubits.com/nushares/introduction
- History of the Nu network (to about May 2015): https://docs.nubits.com/history/
- Nu documentation: https://docs.nubits.com
Simply put, NuBits are stable digital currencies pegged to national currencies like the US dollar, and NuShares are equity in our network that can be speculated on like Bitcoin.
