I said it before, and now I have to say it again:
Neos! Here is why: Because the new release is the best one I've ever seen in Crypto. I like to feel safe and Syntaks coded an awesome security-System.
Quotes, out of the 2.1-Ann-Thread:Decoy system: upon entering the system with a bad password, it won't seem any different from a valid login. In fact, it will allow the attacker to proceed with nearly every function that they would be able to had they logged in with a valid password. From sending Neos, to withdrawing it from exchanges - it's all fabricated and very convincing and while they think they're in the process of robbing you blind, they're actually just being kept busy while you're notified of it.
Notification system: upon bad login, if you've registered an email address with our security system, you'll be notified with details when someone attempts to break into your wallet.
Two-factor authentication: in your Neos settings, you have the option to configure your Google Authenticator for Neos. Simply scan the QR code, verify the code from your phone and save your settings and you're now protected with two-factor auth the next time you attempt to log in.
Something new introduced
I've always stated Neos was a creation out of passion for crypto and what it represents: freedom. I've also expressed my distain for those wishing only to flourish by means of theft. Every time I hear of either a scandalous exchange closing down due to apparent theft, or people having their coin stolen via wallet stealers or computers stolen I cringe just as crypto does as it's being punched in the proverbial stomach. I'm not here just for Neos, I'm here for crypto and the community in general is something I value. With that being said, I wanted to code something that would serve not only the Neos community but potentially the entire community.
With that being said I present to you with Neos Kratos - our thief locator and fund recovery system.
I'll outline the possible scenarios in which this system is useful and what it's capable of and then take a less technical approach in my explanation.
1. Someone sends out a wallet stealer disguised as another coin, you run it - your funds are gone but the thief has your wallet now even if it's encrypted.
2. Someone breaches an exchange and steals the wallet files from it
3. Someone steals your laptop with your wallets on it
Here's what's going to happen as a result in each one of those situations:
1. You're going to be notified via e-mail as to the location of the thief as precisely as possible using geo-location methods. The data provided can then be used in locating the offender.
2. You're going to receive your wallet back via emailFuture (Quoted partially):
- A custom marketplace is already in development
- One thing I can happily say is that we're currently being processed by LitePaid.com and coingateway.net. As more services accept Neos as an option that have APIs, you can bet we're going to be developing for those services to the best of our ability - with a unique approach.
- we have a hardware wallet in development that utilizes the new Neos system and is in plain English - pretty damned cool.Another bigger step could be Koinyx, because it will be fully registered and:
Koinyx has plans for some other novel features that will reward community members and excite traders. In addition, the Koinyx team has started work in order to introduce fiat into the exchange.http://www.koinyx.comWhy I'm talking about it: I like the order of projects that will get listed. Neos is right after the big names. ;-)
What also could come in future is POS. There is already a discussion about it:
"Hey folks,
Quite a few people in the community have expressed their interest in Neos switching from PoW - to full PoS after cutting off PoW at a certain height. This topic is here for feedback and discussion to determine the actual interest in doing this. Thoughts please.

***********What I would like to say, out of Investor-Perspective/my personal opinion: I'm in Neos since the beginning (right after the ICO) and in the first time the price was like a rollercoaster. Then it went down, maybe because of impatience, maybe because of a PnD-Group, maybe because the whole market went down, but my opinion was and is: It's too early to draw conclusions about quality out of the price. Maybe the chart is kind of deterrent for new Investors and those who did not follow the development close. But those who know Syntaks and his team, felt and feel pretty safe. I never sold a single Neos, but steady accumulating over time, because of the ongoing quality in development and future plans. The thing is: It's never disappointing. There never was a broken promise. And my "strategy" is: Investing in honest and skilled Devs and a quality Project. I don't trade and I'm pretty sure that this will pay out and I don't write it just because I want to hype Neos. I think it's one of a very few projects with value for Crypto in general, because it's indeed a "new approach to crypto". If you look at all the hypes and scams (I could but won't mention names)... Neos is the opposite of that. And like Crypto is an ongoing technical evolution, Investors will learn as well. The last year and right now, much money has been thrown away in hypes with exactly no value, just because of promises and manipulation. It's like betting or playing roulette. People should more invest instead of gamble...
