http://forum.neucoin.org/, I’ll be happy to answer.

TaunSew, a couple points:
Has anyone ever validated any of the names with NeuCoin? I don't mean people like Brock Pierce - he's been endorsing stuff all the time (like AppleByte which was a huge flop).
NeuCoin is claiming to be partnered or invested by all these big tech names (like Henrik Kjelberg) and yet nothing on social media substantiates those claims and the only returns are from Bitcointalk and Cryptonews sites which is probably info from press releases NeuCoin wrote themselves.
I’m not sure what you mean by “nothing on social media substantiates those claims”. TechCrunch also relayed our investor names, as you can check in this article:
http://techcrunch.com/2015/02/03/neucoin-is-a-new-cryptocurrency-designed-for-microtransactions/I don’t think any of them would have liked to be mentioned in this article as well as on our website if we had made up their investment
The fact that some people suggest that we would be making up fake investors probably says more about how shadowy some parts of the crypto world are than it does about us. While our investors are of a caliber not commonly associated with the crypto space, they are certainly real.
I checked the peercointalk thread you’ve been referring to, and nowhere it shows that we’ve been refusing to give proof about our investors.
As well, I would highly recommend you to read our plan, available here:
http://www.neucoin.org/en/wiki/ it answers most - if not all - the points mentioned below.
Fork of Peercoin (you need millions to fork Peercoin when others did it for free?)
Over the last year, the NeuCoin project team has:
- researched the different consensus mechanisms and more particularly PoS and wrote the industry’s most comprehensive white paper explaining the advantages of proof-of-stake versus proof-of-work,
- built an online wallet - www.MyNeuCoin.com - that is as user-friendly as any leading Bitcoin wallet - and superior to any altcoin wallet
- built at least one consumer on-boarding website - www.GetNeuCoin.com - a game-like tutorial designed to convert mainstream users in a fun and educational way
- built a consumer-friendly cloud mining service that lets users effortlessly earn PoS awards through “growth accounts”
- created partnership with RadioAirplay.com, an artist promotion company that works with 250,000 emerging musicians and Jango.com, a streaming music service with 8 million monthly listeners, to develop a NeuCoin tipping platform
- created partnership with MondoMedia, a video content producer with the largest animation channel on YouTube to develop a premium content micropayments platform
- created a robust vault service to store and control the sale-restricted portion of founding teams’, angel investors’ and partner companies’ sale-restricted NeuCoins
And plenty of other elements.
If you think our project is only about forking Peercoin, you need to have a more in-depth look at

Questionable claims about initial investors and refusal to validate
Like I said above, the founders of NeuCoin know our investors well, they have invested in each others' ventures and worked with and built companies together in the past, and all this is public record and not something you can just make up. Not in the world we come from. I’m not sure where the “refusal to validate” comes from.
Grandiose goals (uhh you want to attain 1 million users in 1 year when Bitcoin is still under 250,000 after 6 years?)
Bitcoin is still nowhere in terms of mainstream adoption, and there is a reason for this: Bitcoin suffers from a real free rider problem. The costs of effectively marketing Bitcoin (ideally giving some away for free) and building truly useful applications for it are high. These high costs must be borne by individual companies, while the rewards would be spread across all existing Bitcoin holders. This misalignment of costs and rewards is what is holding back utility development and consumer adoption.
