Isn't Novacoin the one with that was a giant pump 'n dump?
Which one wasn't a big pump and dump
? NVC at least kept a relative good value and the dev didn't disappeared after the first month.
NVC had a "interesting" start.
Firstly, let me state that I have good communication with the dev via the forums and have found him extremely helpful, my opinion is biased because of this but please consider the following:
* I do believe nvc started as a russian coin that simply lagged in the english announcement due to a poor launch (we have all seen them). There was not any hiding the launch, it simply was not mentioned outside of the russian forums for 1 week.
* Despite constant trolling the the dev hung around and answered questions tirelessly, no mean feat imho.
* The large amount of nvc handed over to btc-e was for (imho) creating early PoS to strengthen the network in hands other than that of the dev.
* The aforementioned coins were destroyed by sending them to a irredeemable address (coin eater/ no valid priv key) by btc-e after the forums kicked up a fuss.
* I think PoS is very cool, while it has its detractors I think it is an idea worth pursing until perfected hence our support of PPC and NVC.
