I wonder what the Neucoin team thinks mining is buying them.
They are paying 164304 Neucoin per day to the miners, who just dump it on the market.
Each block that's mined has so such a small internal trust value that it can be wiped out on a whim (as shown by this latest fiasco), so its not helping with security at all. In fact, it hurts it because if people using Neucoin don't know the difference between PoW and PoS blocks, they won't realize that having 100 PoW confirmations of their transaction means nothing.
PoW blocks would have helped with security in the first 1.6 days after launch (minimum stake age) if there there haven't been any mature transactions which are able to stake. Essentially, PoW blocks would have been the sole contributor to security in the first 1.6 days after launch.
Since the regime has started staking even before the (official) launch, PoW was never meant to help with security.
BTW, why didn't the foundation stake until angels (and team?) had already staked 9m nokoin for themselves?
Any reason or just more greed?
(first stake block 793, first stake for 1.4bn growth foundation block 2054.)
BTW: Why does NoKoin not have the double asterisk "Significantly Premined" flag on coinmarketcap?
In fact, it hurts it because if people using Neucoin don't know the difference between PoW and PoS blocks, they won't realize that having 100 PoW confirmations of their transaction means nothing.
Every PoW block which is only confirmed by a couple of other PoW blocks means a supposable fiasco.
Even PoS blocks which are only confirmed by non-foundation's PoS blocks means a supposable fiasco.
The whole NoKoin system relies on one single node on one single device, probably connected to one single internet connection and one single electricity connection... I'm confident that this wasn't the last fiasco.
