I think you guys are missing the point. ... blah blah blah...
But if these consumers earns some free coins by playing a game, and if there's an easy way to just click right there on their phone and those coins start to multiply so that he can play even more games, they may think it's cool.
And, according to your opinion, it is a great growth plan to
assume that
IF consumers play some game and earn some coins and
IF there is an easy way for them to just click and multiply them, then they
MAY think it's cool..... careful, not that they may adopt usage of the coin, maybe they will think it's cool...
So, the growth accounts isn't the only way you can mine Neucoin. Again, if you know how to mine, just mine. The growth accounts isn't for us here on bitcointalk, it's just a consumer feature for the facebook mainstream who has never even heard of "cryptocurrency". And for them it's pretty great, drop and drag and your coins are multiplying. They key here is easy and fun. That's all the facebook masses care about.
Hmmmm.... Facebook masses don't give a flying.... duck about crypto, they only care how many "likes" this selfie they took with their brand new iPhone is getting
And, since you don't belong to the Facebook mainstream, who "has never even heard of cryptocurrency", how the duck do you know what is pretty great for them?
drag... drop... multiply....
damn, it is too complicated, get my Visa card and let's get over it
Face the facts: the average FB user doesn't care about anonymity, privacy or security, they have given up a long time ago - otherwise they wouldn't be using social media, Chrome, Google or Windows 10
They don't give a damn about decentralization, dodging bank cartels and their unethical practices etc etc etc...
and all those above is the heart of cryptocurrencies, this is why Bitcoin and altcoins exist.
So, what is the purpose for those "growth accounts" again?
Why can't you just stake your coins and - if things don't go as planned or just because you feel like it - be able to liquidate at anytime, like in every other PoS coin?
Let alone mining, who would want to mine a coin that is already 80+% premined and in a PoS stage?
Get real...
