Lol it's called Net Coin.

I wouldn't touch it unless you run it in a virtual machine.

It's not generally a good idea to trust something like that when it's posted by a newbie.

A new coin derived from Litecoin and to be mined on cpu - now that's innovative ;-)
Let's order some popcorn and beer for the late night release event....

Look at the definition of properties in the above linked post and then again ask yourself if
it is legit or serious (ROTFL ;-)

I wouldn't touch it unless you run it in a virtual machine.

Even VM is not safe, as there could be a Redpill payload.

The bastard who created it stole the name too. "Netcoin" is the proposed name for the upcoming MC2 coin.
