Undistributed NuShares

[kschneezy]

Thank you for the update. I sent another message yesterday. Also, I sent a test message to another user at the same time and received a reply. Looking forward to a response and purchasing my first NuShares : )

Just curious: any updates here? 6 days have passed since the “12 days long queue” message, so my math says that roughly half of those waiting should have heard back by now.

Still waiting…

Awaiting reply back. Still

I’d let Jordan take his time and sort things out according to priorities. A little more communication doesn’t hurt, though.

Hello. I sent a message on Sept 27th, and a second on on Oct 1st. My address is BM-2cTJRcP75StxwFeqNbC9yU2iDEUPPH9QkE.
Should I resend or not?

Still waiting here too, just to ease the wait, unless too busy with anything else, an update on the status would help

I apologize for the slow processing of requests from community members requesting to purchase NuShares. Working through those is my top priority right now and I expect to be spending more time on this than has been the case the last few weeks. I am currently responding to requests sent on 28 September. The price is 0.002 NBT per NuShare or the equivalent of 0.0021 NBT if payment is made in BTC or PPC.

The price you pay will be the price when you requested purchase.

I respond to everyone, so if you sent your request before 28 September and have not received a response, it means I didn’t get your message and you should resend. Bitmessage is no longer having the unreliable performance it had the second half of September, so resends should not be necessary going forward.

Jordan, thank you for the update! Looking forward to a reply on BM

Hello Jordan - thanks for the update.
I had my 1st BitMessage received and acknowledged on Sep. 26th.
I then received a “A guide to minting and voting with NuShares” message on Oct. 10th.

However, I have yet to receive a personal reply personally addressed to my address, instructing further recommendations on how to acquire NuShares and what to present to qualify, between other presumable conditions.

Should anything I might do, please let me know.

Kind regards,

NuShares will now be 0.0025 NBT each and the equivalent of 0.0026 if paid in PPC or BTC.

Approximately 53% of NuShares remain undistributed.

As a result of the higher market price that now exists, I will expect a stronger contribution to the network in order to be approved to purchase undistributed NuShares.

I’d still like to participate. BitMessage requirement is a total fail. I think the messaging/privacy limitation was a fine concept until it didn’t work. Privacy is great, but not if it stands in the way of progress.

I’ve got some resources to bring to this project if someone on the team wants to reach out. I use email.

BitMessage has been working fine for the past week or two since the network broadcast spam attack seems to have stopped. Try re-sending a message if you haven’t heard back yet.

BitMessage doesn’t even start for me. I don’t get much time to mess with it before I need to move on to other things.

Which system are you installing it on? The GUI will occasionally take a few minutes to load up if it’s a fresh install.

BitMessage just released 0.4.4 too at https://bitmessage.org/wiki/Main_Page . Shouldn’t take more than 5-10 minutes to get it loaded and operational.

For people having trouble with the bitmessage software you can try using bitmsg.me. It’s basically a web based bitmessage client. It give you more of an email-like interface. I’ve successfully tested it against my own BM client, and messages were sent/received within minutes.

Make sure to check your spam inbox for the confirmation email. Gmail seemed to mark it as spam and I was a bit clueless how to login till I found the email in there.

First few tries were on my Win7 box. I tried the newest version and an older version that someone mentioned on the forum. It fired up a couple times (maybe 2/10 tries), but never got another response from Jordan and/or team.
My other machines are Win8. Something called SmartScreen blocks BM from running.

I have no need to hide my identity. I don’t understand why Jordan and team need to do this. How can they expect me to invest real money into a project without meeting the team?

How can they expect me to invest real money into a project without meeting the team?

Our team is comprised of veteran members from the Peercointalk community. We’ve each established our trustworthiness and reputations there over the past year with the pseudonyms we use. It appears many individuals have already invested in Nu with Jordan.

Nu aims to be fully decentralized and without borders. If you’re looking for our real-life identities before investing this is not the project for you.

[buzzdave]

What does hiding your identity have to do with being fully decentralized and without borders?
This thread isn’t the place for me to start a rant about the identity thing. I’ve read most of Jordan’s initial posts about Nu, but perhaps I’ve forgotten his justification for it.
I’m a Peercoin supporter from the beginning, but unfortunately I haven’t had time to follow Peercointalk in order to familiarize myself with the team. I’m sure there are others like me who are interested in this project, but haven’t been tuned in enough to know you guys.
It seems a shame to make investors fit an uncomfortable mold in order to participate.
