Scroll down to bigjohnson's post on page two. I think it's a really good article about how NET is different from most other altcoins:

If you scroll to the very bottom you will see Netcoin, We hit that drop he is talking about due to all these other coin that have become the biggest distraction to the crypto world. Now is defiantly time to buy as many Netcoins you guys can. People think that mining all these new coins to "get in early" on something that will never make nothing in the end. Here is another interesting articlecryptolife.net/the-anatomy-of-a-scamcoin-7-things-to-know-before-investing-in-an-altcoin/ 1) Unjustified premine: NET has NO premine. Enough said there.. 2) Disproportionate amount of coins generated at launch: NET was announced so much that folks considered it spamming on cryptsy. lol They were to busy with most the other coins they give for the example given here. What had been mined by the Admin of this forum, also known as Meee on cryptsy, was giving away by the handfuls to help get NET some attention. Although there was plenty of time for everyone to setup their own miners to earn their own coins by mining. And there still is.. 512 block reward is still very nice. Not to mention the super blocks at 8X that amount!! NET has only halved once from 1024. 3) Initially released in a remote corner of the web: Like I said the tons of folks on cryptsy knew all about it during release, also known on cryptocointalk and Bitcointalk. And this forum was quickly made for the community that showed an interest in it. 4) Broken client at release: Not at all.. Netcoins wallet has been sturdy from the start. One hard fork to implement KGW for protection against multipools. So I'd say we can rule that one out. lol 5) Developer incompetence: The original Dev seem to abandon NET, a whole team quickly evolved to make sure everything was in order and running smooth, services and games arose and a great community to back it up. Again we had KGW implemented as well. There has been so much development going on in the back that it's hard to be here. Recently we created a client installer for windows and have been creating and tuning in a pool for NET, And setting up a store- shop.netcoinfoundation.org
6) Presentation: I'd have to say Netcoin has the best name and logo hands down.. That beautiful logo has been created by a famous aviation artist, Joe Jones that cost a pretty NET penny. Some info about Joe if your interested www.airmail-greetings.com/about_the_artist.php
And finally, 7) No Community: Well if your reading this you can see we have a community. Not as active anymore as we would like, but it comes down to everyone really. We have been super busy developing NET for all to use and enjoy that we (the development team) have falling short, and we apologize for this. But still we try to be here and answer and question and help where it is needed. If your a member to this forum please help out where you can and don't be afraid to talk amongst yourselves and not just use the shoutbox. We have this general board for just that.. It's here to talk about anything you wish and we encourage you to use it. Be part of the greatest coin out there and we will watch it grow to new heights never seen in its time. Buy and sell, use NET, Spread the word and tell everyone you know about it. Give some out.. Design some sites, ask exchanges to add NET, ask stores to accept it. Lets have fun and make it happen. We all need to be a team together. NETCOINS FOR LIFE!! GO NET!!
