As I said above, this is what keeps Neucoin decentralized.

Never ever use the word decentralized and Neucoin in the same sentence. They are direct opposites.
Excuse me? Care to refute any of my points?
well it's centrally planned, centrally premined, centrally issued and distributed, centrally pooled, centrally developed and advertised, centrally secured, etc.... but maybe that suits some people just fine.
Neucoin is nurturing the coin to maturity, rather than just releasing it and hoping it will survive on its own. This is necessary because of the current crowded environment of alt-coins.
The alt-coin ecosystem right now is like the old saying about a bunch of crabs in a bucket. As soon as one on top tries to escape, the crabs at the bottom pull it back down again.
If Neucoin was just released with no initial services (such as an online wallet and pool), no games fully integrated with it, no exchanges on board to trade it, it would be just like all the others and suffer the same fate.
So, initially centralized, yes, but as the Neucoin economy grows, less and less so.
Glad that we finally established Neucoin equals centralization.
Whether this will change after years is unknown yet and atm only wishful thinking.
