I agree neucoin is still in development. just like ethereum, it's not just about what is there the first week after launch, or how it's trading short term - it's about what you think it may become. I've said it before and I'll say it again: the only thing that matters is whether or not neucoin can deliver on getting millions of game-playing, viral, social regular consumers to adapt this thing.
it's all about what will or will not happen over the next year when neucoin starts rolling out on games, facebook, etc. that's what the strategic plan is all about. will they convert a lot of users? will it get viral? will it engage more and more service providers?
basically - can the foundations distribute the premine in a way that gets neucoins in the hands of millions of users? if they can - it will be huge. if they can't - it won't. but it's way to soon to tell. they haven't even started with the consumer applications yet.
at its core, neucoin is basically a ripple/stellar proposition - have a premine and try to distribute coins in a way that encourages participation and growth.
the other way to do that would have been to have one giant foundation premine ripple/stellar style. premine the entire supply. but then the foundations would remain dominant forever instead of becoming a minority holder in just a couple of years, ultimately holding almost nothing, more like an early incubator than a constant whale forever and ever. also, the ripple/stellar way early adopters wouldn't be rewarded, it wouldn't incentivize viral spread, etc. also, the price would have had to start ridiculously low and if successful grow to something ridiculously high. this way, the price is more stable (relatively speaking, so far 15% or so down from presale price), and the growth instead comes in the form of pos. same end result, just different ways of doing it.
I personally think that the high inflation/high rewards with a more (for game playing consumers) understandable price is a better way to go. and will get more viral.
wait and see if they can get millions of users or not. that's what this is all about.
Then why didn't they use all their Angel money to buy out a goodly chunk of Dogecoin (50 satochis, 100 Billion plus already widely distributed with thousands of merchants accepting it?)
There is a reason diamonds are expensive and dust is cheap. There is a lot of Neucoins existing and ripe to hit the markets within the month. As plentiful as dust particles.
You evangelicals just can't seem to grasp two things:
1. Dogecoin already did this, and it is worth 50 satochis with 5% annual inflation and
2. Dilution. Your investment is fucking doomed. Why would a coin with a German name and a squirrel over take a cute dog and jokes? 100 Billion tokens at a penny is a Billion Dollars. You really believe spyware-pig both had your best interests at heart, and a Billion Dollar idea with a German Name?
Dumb. Dumb, diluded dummies. And not too many of you:
There is 76 people in /r/Neucoin on Reddit. There are like 12 people here who regularly post.
Neucoin.org is a ghost-town and nobody asks hard questions ever.
You are pretty much alone on a planet with 7 Billion people who give no shits about 100 Billion Nazi-name coins.
Look at the distribution. How much do you think Dank actually gives a shit about the small sliver of total market value that the 100 million NoKoin ICO actually represents? You have currently 1/30th of his attention.
And the amount of shits Dank gives about pre-sale buyers is reduced at a rate of 100% a year.
Inflation, Camaro Bitch. Dilution. Stupid name. Scammy Founder. Offshore tax avoidance tomfoolery. Get it yet?
Your money is gone unless you dump now, idiot.
