Why NETCOIN (NET)

Netcoin, like anything else in the world, is “worth” what we as a species value it to be. Which, of course then begs the question, why should we value Netcoin?

For starters:

It’s a safer way to use/spend/receive money than Fiat. (for example….USD/GBP/CNY)
It’s a faster way to send/receive money than Fiat.
It’s not subject to the inflation escalations we’ve observed with fiat currencies of recent.
It’s built off of and developed from the same trusted technology as Bitcoin.
It’s Faster than Bitcoin.
You can earn up to 10% interest on the amount of NET you own and store in your personal wallet.*
Fair weight staking marked at 100,000 NET so holders above this amount can stake every 6 hrs and play on equal chances against even the largest of holders.

BASICS FOR GETTING STARTED

GET NET

One of the First things to do (besides saying hi to the community) is to obtain your own NET wallet. This fantastic little secure and safe program operates as your own Personal Bank. The wallet is where your NET are securely stored and also where you will Deposit, Withdraw, and Send your NET.

ADD NET

Next, you’ll want to add some NET to your wallet (Why? Because you can earn interest…or what’s called “minting”, on every NET you hold in your wallet that’s connected to the Network).

USE NET

Now you can start to use NET just like you would money. The number of Merchants accepting NET is growing, and the more we build (the community, NET features, NET acceptance), the sooner we’ll be able to use NET for everyday transactions.

What is Open Wallet Incentive?

Open Wallet Incentive (OWI) is a new algorithm designed by NetCoin core team to provide incentive for NetCoin users to participate in staking more by keeping their wallets open. OWI continues to reward users for their ownership and activity of NetCoin. What sets OWI apart is the ongoing reward (or interest rate) that’s applied. Rather than having a static reward that stops, NETs continues to reward (that declines with time).

How it works:- Users should stake once each month to earn highest possible rewards. This incentivises running full nodes to increase POS security. The coin percentage slows after 1 month with an aging half life of 90 days.
