Reddit thread, there can be an interesting discussion about NeosCoin

Tried promoting NeosCoin a little bit on Reddit /r/CryptoCurrency ...

I'm not that much technically informed to discuss this effectively, yet some guy brought his points about NeosCoin. I don't doubt there is someone here who will know how to reply to this, mine views are that technical implementation is not of that importance (regarding PHP/node.js), that multi-algo argument is not really bringing any point to discussion, and I can say I don't know much about "bad initial distribution".

You can see clearly what that is right? Just spamming for "Burst". He brings up points about "nothing new" yet fails to point out "Burst" is a clone of Nxt. Granted their method for PoW is unique, but that's about it. The funniest part about his argument: "1. written using PHP, a deprecated ugly web serving language, today is the era of node.js" - node.js - sure node is nice, but there are caveats with node as well as any other language. The point is if it's done well, the language doesn't matter. He's just pushing Burst, don't sweat it =). I'll keep on coding, he can keep on...being productive by posting comments? =) Don't feed the troll, people with a mind can see right through that. We never claimed to be unique in the sense of using multi-algo the same as 500 scrypt clones out there don't claim they're unique because of scrypt. The most unique part about Neos? The people behind it.

Thanks for your reply. Pls go back to coding Don't feed the troll, you're right... Still someone more informed than me could reply, especially about initial distribution...

he brings up a few points that are not 'horrible', but he brings up a few points that are very contradictory as well.
it seems more like hes trying to spam burst, for whatever reason (self interest?)

we personally (me and syntaks) think burst is a pretty cool concept of their proof of storage, tho i've used burst's wallet, and ours in my opinion blows it and any other wallet out of the water.

and it'll just be getting better
