Chapter 1. What is NIMSES?

The basic concept of Nimses is to allow users to share their content with the nearby local population in return for their data. Harvesting data to many people is a negative concept but people will still use the app if it has better features than their competitors. Nimses competes on a broader level, targeting a large number of people and allow their own users to market among themselves entirely based on their own economy called NIMs. — The more NIMs in your wallet, more people your content will be reached to.

Comparison between Nimses & Instagram insights:

Nimses Insight

Instagram Insight

Nimses is a replicated version of the reality but online. They’re trying to raise awareness that “Time is Money” and “Data Harvesting is inevitable in this timeline”. 1 NIM for every minute, the total amount of NIMs you can earn within a day is 1440. You can spend your NIMs either by posting, commenting, messaging, donating or buying. — It is entirely like society, there are status, wealth and influence. In Nimses, likes are replaced with NIMs, if you like someone’s content you can support them by giving them 10 NIMs. You can earn NIMs either by watching Ads or selling goods in the Marketplace.

Nimses marketplace is currently in development, but in the future, as mentioned by the developers and it’s representers, NIMs could be used in the marketplace to buy gifts, games, coffees and many more. Heck, some local cafes (for the sake of PR) has allowed users to exchange their menu with NIMs.

For every person you invite using your referral code, you’ll earn 500 NIMs per registration. However, it will increase as you invite more friends to 1440, 2880 and 4320. Let’s say you invited 3 friends and they do the same, you’ll receive 30040 NIMs.

Chapter 2. Is Nimses privacy friendly?

It is a yes and no answer, like any other social media platforms, it collects your private information such as first name, last name, phone number, email address and lastly location. Without enabling location on your mobile device, your access to the app would be cut off. It is necessary for you to enable your location services to use the application.

The location (technically distance) is available for everyone to see via where you posted your content. However, your accurate location is shared to your contact list only. Which it really invades your privacy, but that wouldn’t matter if you have nothing to hide.

Nimses upon registration has already asked the users (us) to allow the app to access such information, with the consent of the user (you) they can collect our data. If you are a data sensitive person, this platform isn’t for you.

An example regarding how they share your location:

“ Thomas went to his local Starbucks for a coffee, he posted a photo of the coffee on Nimses, Jerry who’s nearby browsing Nimses would be able to see how far is Thomas from him.”

Social media is productive and convenient however, there are to a certain extent should a user do and not do. For an example; It’s late at night and you’re still outside, you posted a picture of yourself and a kitty cat, you might not know what kind of suspicious individuals lurking or stalking you from afar. And incidents similar to it whether be it at night, morning, afternoon or evening.

Chapter 3. Levels of Identity

Invisible

Upon installing the application, you’re invisible and is told to register. That’s Level 0, you can explore and navigate the application, but without its full features and experience.

User

After registration, congratulations you’re now a User (an unverified human), you must obtain 6 verifications from either inviting 6 friends or getting verified from another user with the status of Human. As a user, your daily NIMs transaction is limited to 100.

“Limited” Human

Happy Human Day, you’re now a “Limited” Human, you have full access to Nimses and all of its platforms, the ability to achieve noble or master status within a temple, the right to own dominims and temples and increased daily NIMs transactional limit to 500.

“Full” Human

The difference between Limited & Full Human is its transactional limit. To increase your transaction limit, you will have to provide Nimses with your private information; first name, last name, phone number, email address and face verification. However, this is an optional feature and there is no difference in privileges between Limited and Full Human.

Chapter 4. Dominim / Infinim & Temple

Dominim / Infinim

They are assets of the higher value compared to NIMs. Dominim is a higher unit of value in Nimses that equals to one year of human life. While infinim is a supreme unit of value in Nimses symbolizing the theoretical duration of one human life — 120 years. However, both entail to different but unique benefits and possibilities for someone who owns them. The possession of a dominim or an infinim is a clear sign/mark/social symbol of ‘Wealth’, ‘Privilege’ and ‘Prestige’.

Temple

A temple is designed to structure and organize media and information within the district. However, residents of the district are required to pay taxes to their respective temples, contributing to society like in the offline realm. Temple Masters benefits from this and gains X amount of NIMs daily from taxes collection.

Being a temple master is technically similar to being a district chief (or state governor). As a temple master, regardless of the NIMs you have in your wallet, whatever you post will be shared with the entire district.

A temple can only be owned by Humans with either at least one Dominim or Infinim. As of right now, Infinim is still in development and has not been released to public.

If another User purchased your Temple, your Dominim’s would be returned back to you. You will not lose Dominim’s for purchasing Temples, rather Temples are like a car engine, it requires a key to start the engine. Dominims are the keys to holding a Temple.

Chapter 5. Levels of Status

5.1. Temple

Citizen

Five days after registration, each user in Nimses automatically obtains citizenship in one of the temples. The procedure of assigning a Temple to each user is based on his/her geolocation and calculating the time spent in that Temple for the period established by the system. Tldr; The user that spends the most time in district X gets the status of Citizen in that temple.

Resident

Any human is awarded the status of ”Resident” after spending a certain period of time in that district. Anyone who does not have a specific amount on their balance, cannot claim the status of a Resident.

Noble

In each temple, the most wealthy citizen is automatically identified and assigned the status of Noble. Being a noble gives you a special prestigious badge in their personal profile.

Master

The Master status is the highest status one could achieve within a district. Being a Master means you own a Temple.

Chapter 6. Followers, Subscription & Nominations

Do followers and subscription confuses you? Followers are the people who followed you while subscriptions are the people you follow. For every person that you are subscribed to, you have a daily upkeep of 1 NIM.

Nominations (also known as Nom) enables the users to vote for the individuals they like to be represented by. For every user you Nom, you’ll have to pay a fee of 10 NIMs while to Un-Nom it’ll cost double. To simply put it, a user’s (your/his/her/their) status and influence are bestowed upon by the community (us).

Chapter 7. Conclusion

We’ll have to wait and see where this wagon takes us, it has been 4 years since Nimses was released and just a day ago I joined its community. I was taken back the number of insights and impressions I could receive compared to on Instagram. The algorithm compared to Instagram as of presently is superior, it enables smaller curators to shine out more.

Giving up your data to reach more people is a fair deal in my opinion. Nimses is just another application similar to the big daddy corporations like Google, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and etc. The moment you decided to be “Online” your life is no longer private.

Overall, Nimses is a great platform for content creators and artists to share their work with the digital society. Brand awareness is very effective for businesses interested to promote locally.
