Idea: Recording of land ownership and leasing

The following is a brief description that seeks to explain the intended process using NEM’s unique approach:
– First, a land owner would have to post his available pieces of land for leasing on the web app. Land is represented as mosaics on the blockchain as it is considered customisable and exchangeable. These mosaics would be under created namespaces for each land owner.
– A farmer looking to lease land would then pick an available plot of land for lease and put in a request.
– The land owner accepts the request and an invoice for payment will be automatically generated and submitted to the farmer for payment.
– The transfer of funds from the farmer to the land owner utilises a multi-sig transaction to enforce an escrow type transaction.
– After the funds have been received, the app generates a lease agreement and subsequently notarises it using Apostille. This lease agreement is then sent to the farmer who can confirm its vailidity through the block explorer. Upon lapsing of the lease period, it will subsequently expire.

Idea: Cloud funding service to bring developers, designers and illustrators together in Japan.

– It is difficult for Developers, Designers and Illustrators to work individually in Japan, and if you do not belong to an organization you will not get satisfactory compensation for your efforts.

– Creators can start cloud funding for example with the Chrome Extension and a small extended feature of launched service.

– We want to make is that it is a cloud funding service that individuals can use easily .

– We will vote at the end to confirm that the developer really implemented the function. If the ballot is invalid, funds will not be paid.

Idea: Crowd funding for Super Node ownership

The NEM SNCF project, aims to use the superpowers of NEM platform to enable ordinary people to be shareholders of NEM supernodes, receiving a pro rata share of the total revenue of the supernodes they support.

Idea: Attendance Management and Emergency Contact recording.

NEM-KYU will allow employees in Japan to track their paid leave days and also request for paid leave days by sending a mosaic to the company address.

It will also enable futuristic systems that allow people to trade paid-holidays and XEMs with colleages or get XEM refunds for expired holidays from the company.

NEM-KYU will also allow for workers to keep their employers updated on their safety in times of an emergency.

Idea: To enable artists, musicians, writers, and content creators of all kinds to easily sell content directly to their fans wherever they would normally share it.

This app will serve as a way for creators to sell their content in a decentralized manner quickly and with lower fees than the traditional avenues.

It works by allowing users of the app to upload their digital content and represent it with an object on the NEM blockchain. The app would then generate a unique URL users can share that would enable others to download the content after sending funds to a particular address. Once the funds have been sent, the app will automatically release the content to the purchaser. In this way, content creators, celebrities, and anyone else who wishes to sell digital content can leverage their thousands or millions of fans and followers directly without relying on a middleman who might require a lengthy approval process, charge high fees, or censor content.

We believe a decentralized solution for selling and distributing content will allow creators to focus on creating great content without having to worry about the logistics of sales, refunds, customer service, and distribution.

Idea: To improve the ease of use for the NEM project.

Sign in with Facebook to create or unlock your wallet, and send XEM to all your Facebook friends that have also created wallets.

The SoW is a light wallet hosted on a web-app. We will focus on a clean and intuitive user interface to ensure ease of use and safety. After setup and log-in, the user can send payments and payment requests using names instead of long and intimidating addresses. Facebook friends with SoW’s will be added automatically. Should the need arise, contacts/friends without Facebook accounts can be added manually.

To further simplify social payments, we aim to create a chatbot that can facilitate payments and payment requests by chat. After setup of your SoW, you can activate the chatbot and access your wallet anywhere you can access Facebook Messenger. To ensure that transactions are made by the wallet owner, a two-step verification process is required.

Facilitating payments with natural language in Messenger ensures easy and quick access to XEM funds. It will also help onboarding, as the Messenger interface is familiar, and easily accessible for most. Finally, by allowing more users to exchange XEM easily we get the added bonus of helping our users achieve higher importance ratings.

In summary, SoW is a tool that lets users quickly and simply set up their NEM wallet and start transacting. By using intuitive methods of payment through interfaces the users already are familiar with, we hope to reach a broad user base. We believe this is crucial for mass adoption of cryptocurrencies in general, and NEM in particular.
