Has anyone ever validated any of the names with NeuCoin? I don't mean people like Brock Pierce - he's been endorsing stuff all the time (like AppleByte which was a huge flop).

NeuCoin is claiming to be partnered or invested by all these big tech names (like Henrik Kjelberg) and yet nothing on social media substantiates those claims and the only returns are from Bitcointalk and Cryptonews sites which is probably info from press releases NeuCoin wrote themselves.

Leaving Oprahs shaggability and Hazards investment skillz aside (he wasn't the only guy to pass on NXT, and O is a little bit wide for my tastes.... Grin

)....

NeuCoin looks pretty cool on paper.....pretty much an NXT copy in all respects (which is good to see, imitation is the best form of flattery) but it's still a centralised, corporate project with all the possible issues that could bring.
This could be the next Paycoin, or it could be something more......time will tell.

I really don't like the Ripple/MarineCoin model of issuing a tiny proportion of coins to the market, with the NeuCoin foundations controlling the vast majority of funds. As Ripple (and others) have shown, this pretty much allows NeuCoin itself complete control of NeuCoins market cap/price. Like I just said, corporate project, eh?

In conclusion....DYOR (lots of R) before throwing money/BTC at them.

3.33% sale to Bitcointalk / overpriced IPOs all flop
'Corporate Distribution'
Fork of Peercoin (you need millions to fork Peercoin when others did it for free?)
Questionable claims about initial investors and refusal to validate
Similar and recent projects, of the same corporate style, which went nowhere and technically still competition to NeuCoin.
Grandiose goals (uhh you want to attain 1 million users in 1 year when Bitcoin is still under 250,000 after 6 years?)
Endorsements from "Crypto Celebrities", where their endorsements never mattered in other projects.

"Starting at 25,000 NEU per BTC" as per their website. Just to buy tenth of 1 percent of all Neu you have to spend 120 BTC.

Anyone really think this dude is going to take his Neu$hit further than Bitcoin in just one year? Especially when it's a fork and there's so much shady?
