I just recommend any new comers to Novacoin, or to alt-coin trading in general, to do at least do 1 hour research into NVC before saying the old tired stuff.

Do you know what my first post about  Novacoin was, 8 months ago?  It was something along the lines of "Is NVC just the newest scam lol, what a joke" -- or something to that effect, check my post record if you don't believe me, maybe it was my 30th post (complete guess).

But you know what? I jumped the gun like many others and accepted the prevailing bad press about Novacoin. This is in part because of all the scam/dumb coins that do exist, which makes people defensive, understandably. Novacoin is not one of those.  I read up on it, Balt himself patiently addressed my own ridicule of the coin back then, and now 8 months later I can say come around 100%. I was wrong in my initial poor judgement NVC, and this changed after learning more about it.  

Just asking people politely to please read the facts (and not so much the press) and make your own judgement if you are new to NVC.  

Also consider the possibility that at least some of the people telling you it is such a bad coin could also just be trying to keep the price down for themselves.

edit: here's the link to my own post. Just want to show how much I came around from my initial impression to my sincere liking of the design of this coin:
