True. I don't think there is any MLM dynamics at play here especially due to the glaring absence of downlines which is a central feature of MLM schemes.
Maybe not in the traditional sense, but still, you're talking about the people at the top selling site owners on selling neucoin to their people...
with the promise that "we can get even more people sold" on it.
I agree, it is "fantastic"
That is the same with every crypto currency out there. Hell, it is the same with many other commodities as well. Why single out neucoin?
No it's not the "same with every crypto currency out there".
Only the pre-mined ones, or the one's who do ICO's even have "people at the top".
Good coins don't have ANY "people at the top". And smart people know that.
NoKoin has both an ENOURMOUS pre-mine handed out to "people at the top" and sold at a steep discount to their friends AND they pre-sold part of that pre-mine at higher prices to the public (whom they refer to as "trailer-cash"--that's you Torrgeek. DanK laughs his ass off in the office and calls you "trailer cash").
Contrast that with Doge. No pre-mine. No Initial coin offering. Nobody at the "Top".
Unobtanium went out of it's way to have nobody at the top. 4 coins were mined by the Dev to make sure it worked. Then it was announced and Unobtanium mining started with a block reward of .001 for the first 2000 blocks so that miners had time to find out about it and point their miners towards it before anyone was able to get an unfair advantage.
From block 2001 the block reward was 1 kg per block, halving every 100,000 blocks and finishing with a minimum subsidy of .0001 after 15 halvings. There are currently only about 195,000 of them in existence, today worth about $2.60 a piece. Here is the whole Eco-system that has been built around it over the past year and a half: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=527500.0
Not trying to sell you UNO, although anyone who doesn't have any has their head up their ass.
Telling you about this to point out that a good altcoin is the opposite of everything NoKoin is. You guys who bought into it have fallen into cognitive dissonance.
Every alt-coin community out there that was approached by Sandrine told you the same thing: "We want nothing to do with Neucoin because it is BOTH pre-mined and pre-sold. That makes it unfair and ripe for abuse because every coin that has had a pre-mine has had a scandle attached to it. Every single one.
Here's a list of some of them: http://altcoins.com/scamcoins
Nobody in the altcoin community even wants Neucoins for free. People who know about altcoins think Neucoin is less than worthless: it was specifically designed to steal from people who don't understand the short history of altcoins. Neucoin was created to hurt people. That is worse than worthless. It is evil.
You guys just don't want to believe that you were ripped off by professional, serial Internet scammers who refer to you among themselves as "trailer cash".
So your statement, "that is the same with every crypto out there" is demonstrably false and you are wrong about this, and oh so many other things.
If you insist on ignoring the very recent history of all pre-mined coins and you insist on ignoring the dubious, well documented history of the people who did this to you, there is nothing we can do to help you.
There are hundreds of coins like Doge and UNO that you could have bought that do not have anyone "at the top". But you bought yet another pre-mine, that was also ICO'd by FAMOUS Internet fraud guys. You chose that.
Sorry for your loss. Next time you will understand that pre-mine is bad, giving money to serial Internet scammers is bad, and you won't do that.
