From the Pre Sale site:

"Presale postponed - Stay tuned

Our rollout revealed a way to buy NeuCoins without accepting the Terms & Conditions.

Legal advised us to wait until this has been resolved. To give everyone a fair chance to start at the same time, we will communicate a new start time shortly on our forum, blog, twitter and email."

Interesting....

Launch indefinitely postponed.

The Natives are restless:  http://forum.neucoin.org/t/presale-timeline/152/70

Hilarious.  Technology experts eh?

Not to mention the presale timeperiod has come and gone, essentially making it look like a scam to begin with.
Another XPY lookalike failure = could be?

I would agree completely.   

This claim on the homepage of neucoin.org:


...is at best delusional and at worst is just a flat out lie.

I don't see a single noteworthy person in the "cryptocommunity" commenting
on this "whitepaper".  Are we to believe that it is so brilliant that everyone
is sitting shocked in silence?

What exactly is this "improved security"?

The idea of a period where coins cannot stake is not new --
for example NXT does that as well.  But at least NXT is
honest enough to admit in their whitepaper that
such attacks are possible.

Presale is about 1/2 hour late and still no button on the neucoin.org website? Am I missing a time zone diff or something?

It's all speculative, everything is and in spite of Gekko's cries for compliance to the "rules" we all know that even when the rules are followed, and then broken, there's often no real repercussions. Except to those who played and lost. And the odd sacrificial goat that is likely rewarded for for their show of loyalty by doing the time for the other's crimes. Happens all the time.

I got lucky getting my hands on some BTC recently simply by eating some food in front of a camera. Why not parlay that .4BTC into 10,000 NeuCoin? If it's real in a year's time that interest has compounded to 20,000 NC's or even to 50K NC's over the next 5yrs. Even if the price is only half of what I paid for them I would still be ahead.

I don't need to know the rules to gambling with my money. Sure it helps but luck plays just as big a part of any investment as does analytic and rule of law. Who's to say which gives one the better edge? All I do know is that for this presale it only takes a minimum 0.01 0.1 BTC to place your bet.  

hi Dan,

What would you say are the main innovations of NeuCoin?

Jonald

Hi Dan,

We've seen the resumes.  That was called "social proof" when I was trained in Boiler rooms in the late 80's.

Here's the list (again) of what we have not seen:

The HOLDINGS of each of those names you list.
Salaries of the people working for you.
Audited financials for the "long time you and the team have been working on this"
Forecasts of your expenses and revenues for the coming few years.

And Jesus Christ, the Anonymous Seychelles Shell company?  You keep crowing about transparency, and nobody mentioned this until I asked.  And you are still hiding behind it because you are violating blue sky laws all over the planet by offering investments without any of the information I listed above.

You can't be transparent and hide behind an off-shore holding company at the same time.

You are a criminal all over the world, but nobody will know because of your secret Seychelles Holding Company.  Right?

Your 1% won't lose any money.  They are in at a 1/4 penny.  Founders won't lose cause they are in at a half penny.  The greater fools will be sending all that money to your anonymous Seychelles Bitcoin account in an hour.

As usual, you guys are laughing.

There is no source code.
No wallets.
None of your Angels have admitted investing in this.

You are dodgy man.  The Sechelles Holding Company is the smoking gun that you are hiding a lot more than your financial reports.

Do you even have a CFO that told you any of this?

Cheers,

Gekko

 
Probably the biggest irony is that NeuCoin might very well end up being a really successful crypto-currency model.

The venture capitalists have clearly determined that crypto-currency is now a money business.



In the dystopian future of increasingly diminishing net neutrality you will have to pay for content using your blue squirrel micro payment tokens!

What about answering the important questions Dan? (You've been going over the thread I assume)
Another long post with zero information besides a list of early investors, really 

hi gecko (and malatesta and johnny and etc)
this is dan kaufman, one of neucoin's founders.
here is my linkedin: https://fr.linkedin.com/in/kaufmandaniel
here is my facebook: https://www.facebook.com/daniel.kaufman.146
my team and i have been working very hard on neucoin for a very long time.
maybe you think our project will fail. that’s fine.
if it fails you can pat yourself on the back for trashing it and cursing it with so much gusto before it launched.
if instead it's a big success you'll try to forget how wrong you were. or you’ll “laugh at” or curse the “idiots” who supported it.  i really don’t know.
but there is zero chance you're going to be proven right that it was a scam.
and come on, you guys aren’t dumb, you already know this.
or you know it if you’ve looked at the team’s bios and our angel investors.
why do you think our angel investors decided to buy neucoin with long-term sale restrictions?
before you start barking out “they’re fools! they’re idiots! they’re in on the scam! they don’t exist!” look around you at the denizens here on this forum with the loudest voices. do you even know who they are? what exactly have they accomplished? what makes you think that they are so smart or so trustworthy?
meanwhile, the reasons our angel investors decided to invest in neucoin are that they personally know and trust the team, they respect our track records, and they believe in our vision for neucoin.

haha. nice meme.

I bet these folks won't even create a public bitcoin address
(they'll make a separate address for each buyer), so we won't
really know how big of a presale there is.

So, the presale starts tomorrow.  As Sandrine said above, you will be sending your BTC to a Seychelles IBC.

"The identities and personal details of the beneficial owners, directors and shareholders are NOT part of public record for a Seychelles IBC. At registration of a new IBC, the Registrar of Companies does not require any data whatsoever on who is the actual beneficial owner of the new company. This information is only known to the licensed Registered Agent of the company and is kept on internal file by the company. The internal corporate files of the IBC, like the Register of Members, Register of Directors and all Minutes and Resolutions, are kept at the offices of the Registered Agent.The only documents of a Seychelles IBC that are held on public record are the Memorandum of Association and the Articles of Association. These documents do not contain any indication as to the actual shareholders or the beneficial owners of the company.

There are strictly limited legal circumstances when a domestic government authority in Seychelles (namely, the Financial Investigation Authority or the Seychelles Revenue Commission) may request a registered agent to disclose information that is on file of a particular IBC. Such disclosure may only happen as part of an ongoing investigation, and no blanket "fishing operation" disclosures are allowed.

The Republic of Seychelles is an independent country. As such, it is not sharing or reporting information to any overseas "principal", or organization. Seychelles is not subject to the EU Savings Tax Directive, unlike some other offshore financial centres, which are related to the EU member states (primarily, to the UK and its overseas territories). The offshore financial services sector contributes significantly to the country`s GDP. There is an inherent interest with the government and with the general public to maintain and develop the country`s status as a competitive offshore financial centre."


So just be aware of where you are sending your BTC:  an anonymously held offshore tax haven.  There is nobody to hold responsible when the BTC disappears.  This is why there were no answers to my questions about CEO's, directors, equity positions...

Not only are they reinventing currency, they are reinventing investment platforms to avoid any legal or fiscal responsibility whatsoever.  This is a black hole down-which you are being invited to cast your BTC.

They're fine with it. Jackson Palmer already played his entire hand before and announced a departure earlier. Then suddenly he was back again and now he's announcing to leave. Again.

Shibes merely wish he'd just stay away.

wait, wait, wait ....

Jackson Palmer, founder of Doge:

Wasn't he just saying he's leaving crypto behind because it's too toxic? Did he not dump all his doge? Haha. Now he's on the neucoin thing. Haha. Dogecoiners must love this.

So basically you ask us to pay for your cocaine? lol

-Do the sell limitations for the insiders also apply to the interest they yield from their holdings?
-How do you want to exercise control over the funds of the insiders? (how to make sure they play by the rules?)


Quite funny how the seedinvestors are instantly 300% up at launch. That's a deal i would like too.

I think your chances are slim to actually sell this coin to people. Basically the one who provides buysupport is a succer. Likely drops like a rock.
