== Criticisms points removed ==


I've removed the criticisms that were added back in December 2012 from the article. The first two criticisms were vague, and the third was resolved as of version 0.3.0.
* A hasty release of the coin - a whitepaper was released, and very quickly afterwards a blockchain was started, without giving ample time for people to even notice the coin exists.
* A centralized high frequency [[checkpointing]] mechanism "that will be removed once the coin is stable enough" (Bitcoin also uses Checkpoints, but their frequency is rather low).
* The coin's security model is not yet well understood by the community. One exploit is documented [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=131940.0 in this thread].
