confusion abounds.

lorrav, you're confused/misinformed on almost every point here.

Pool participants never send their funds to pools and  Bitcoin pools are less centralized than they were a year ago.  

Coinage as used by peercoin is a broken idea because if you're trying to attack the network by broadcasting your own chain and your chain isn't accepted, the next time you try, you'll have even more chances to succeed because now your coins got older.  Plus it makes long range attacks easier. As far as I know, neucoin isn't going to go that route.
