So obviously this never went anywhere...

Did anyone have luck getting a refund or pursuing a lawsuit?

Wow...  I haven't been here in a while.  Quite a controversy about Neutrality Coin and James.

I am one of the 50 people who purchased the package from James.  The following is just my opinion and I don't have any strong feelings about either side of this "argument".  I think I paid $350 for the deal though, not the $400 like has been written here.

I haven't received any $$ from this coin yet.  I'm pretty irritated by this, but James did deliver what he said he would in the webinars:  There was a series of training sessions and interviews, he mined coins on our behalf (he did ask us not to mine until the contracted time was over), he did some promotion (not enough in my opinion) and the coin was on an exchange (even if for only a short time).  I feel that I didn't get $350 worth of information from the webinars and other services, but, I don't feel like I'm getting $6 worth of soda or $9 worth of popcorn when I go to the movies either  Grin  James is a marketer and does sell a lot of information that some would call "crap", but others rave about how great it is.  The real value is somewhere in between those opinions.  So that is my "eh" opinion about the cost, value and deliverables.  I could have used that $350 towards my mining rig, but it's gone now and what can I do at this point?  I'm not going to waste time and energy crying over spilled milk as they say.

My negative comment about it all is that I was under the impression that James WAS the creator of the coin and would be VERY active in promoting it and dealing with it's daily functioning long term.  But, I don't have a clue what his arrangement was with the other people apparently involved and if he was just some kind of spokesperson (or not).  He was very optimistic in the webinars that the coin would be worth something in the future and his own excitement was definitely something that swayed my decision to purchase the deal.  Regardless of what I "felt" was going to happen, he did say throughout the meetings that he HOPED that we'd all make our money back within a short time, but that like all other crypto-currencies, he couldn't guarantee anything or any profits.

At one point early on, I did think about asking for a refund (although it was pretty clear that this didn't have a money-back guarantee like his other products have).  But, after considering the things outlined above, having buyers remorse didn't seem like a good enough reason so I didn't pursue it. 

James is highly regarded on the Warrior Forum and if I see something interesting that he's offering, I'll still probably buy it.  His products are definitely on the light side (short, large font, etc), but the ones I've seen are usually like $7 or something.  Most if it can be found by doing your own Google search.  I look at it like this:  I can pay $7 for "cliff notes" on a topic, or I can spent an hour or two researching it myself.  I can assure you, my time is worth way more than $3.50/hour so it seems like a reasonable price to pay SOMETIMES.  Those products DO have a money back guarantee to fall back on, this $350 whopper did not.

I have about 130,000 coins right now... not going to mine any more because I'm actually making money mining other currencies that appear to have an active community or more involved team.  But, I'll hold on to these and see what happens.

Hi,

I'm relatively new to the crypto world, so please excuse my ignorance if it shows in the questions I'm about to ask.  Smiley

I seem to hear these three things whenever a new coin hits the streets: community, the developers, uniqueness.

UNIQUENESS: I think I understand the "sentiments" of this coin which give me a unique feeling about it, but is there anything technically different about how this coin is mined, the amount available, block rewards, etc?  A bulleted list would be nice to see.

THE DEVELOPERS: I honestly don't even understand what this means.  I read on the pool I use little announcements about how "the XXX development team" did this or that because of some issue with some coin.  What do the developers do and who are they for this coin?  Maybe more importantly, does it matter who they are?  I think Feather Coin, brags about their Development team, but again, does it matter?

COMMUNITY: Is there or will there be an official forum or community site for this coin?  What would the members talk about?  IMHO I think Doge is so popular in part because it's goofy and people like talking weird to each other (aka FUN).  A serious coin seems harder to rally behind.

Thanks!
