A lot of crowdsale buyers wanted, and still want to, cash out while they can make a profit. As long as the price is higher than the crowdsale price that's only natural. The long game is in staking and seeing if neucoin delivers on acquiring huge user numbers. That's really what this is all about. Will they succeed at mass adoption or not?

A lot of crowdsale buyers? Where are they? Can't find them. In the Neucoin-forum? Where are all the addresses of the thousands of crwodsale-buyers?

And how will it be possible to get new buyers in, if guys like me see that there are about 100 mio coins on the free market right now but every two weeks the team stakes another 100 mio with their billions of supply?

Again, I do the math for you:

100% per year is 0,27 % a day

0,27% of 2.9 billion coins that the people behind it own, and that are not on the market right now is: 7,830,000 (staking per day!)

multiplied with 30: 234,900,000 new Coins per month!

The public (which isn't there if you ask me) owns 100,000,000.

That's in fact 235% inflation out of market-perspective - per month !

But they won't sell that, right? They just stake and waiting for mass adoption? Or will they give it away for free.. first buyers had to buy but the rest will get it for free if they write a kind mail like "Hey, could I have 10 mio NEU please?". Answer: "Sure!"

Seriously... what will they do with that? Will the potential for mass adoption increase if the market plays with 100 Mio and they stake 235 Mio every month in the background? That's hilarious!

There is actually a really smart plan for distribution on Neucoin.org. Very growth driven. The coins aren't just going to sit at the foundations, they will be distributed to consumers, game developers, marketing partners, social media, etc. Check out the plan, it's all there.

Again: Will they pay for it or will they get it for free?

To be serious: No professional investor, or game-dev, or company, will buy or adopt this. They won't even implement it for free.

Because if you look beyond the fud on this thread - see who's involved, see who invested in the angel round, their expertise and their rolodexes, and not the least - their different apprioach to all this - I think a lot of game developers will.

I would give you the advice to write all those guys some Mails and ask them if they still want to be associated with this. It seems that they don't have a clue of Crypto, never read the specifications or think about it.

Dude, it's simply not a scam. Period. That's just what trolls around here think it's fun to keep saying. There's a lot of fud and paranoia here but go read up on Neucoin.org, check out the online wallet... to any normal, sane person, it simply isn't a scam.

Bad idea? Maybe. But for sure not a scam. Personally I think it's a good idea. It's different. They're trying to reach millions of consumers in new ways. Completely different ways than earlier coins. Games, social, etc. Getting mainstream users to try it and rewarding third party companies that help make the ecosystem useful. The distribution and inflation is part of that strategy and of course should be factored into the price. But it's not really about the price right now - it's about acquiring a shitload of users. If they succeed it will be worth a lot. If the don't succeed it won't. Only time will tell. Simple as that.

If it's not a Scam it doesn't make it better. But yes, you're right with "it's different"... ;-)

But please explain me, what is the strategy with the inflation?
