The idea is not to kick him out... if he wants in on this version, he'll be welcome.

meh im going to setup a pool on the current fork just to stop it haha

EDIT: New official NRB thread --> https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/the-black-watch-noirbits-re-vamp-thread-op-managed-364180

Thanks and welcome aboard

Best of luck to you! I'm on board 

Gotta do what you gotta do... :p

Downloading update now.

+1 on the change forward! we need development for this coin real bad!!

LOL epic

I know this may be considered a bold move, heck, some may despise me for this, but...

Considering Noirbits' absolute lack of support by its founder, barwizi, considering I am the only dev' who has pushed any real changes to the Noirbits repository on Github, I propose a takeover from now on.

Version 2.2.5.0 available ! Fixes a blockchain synchronization bug on clients, update now !
Version 2.2.4.0 available ! Windows binaries are available, with UPNP and QR codes. This new version brings two new RPC calls to
better manage your wallet. addnode allows you to dynamically add a new node to your connections, while getprofitestimate will help you plan your Noirbits minting ! And of course, don't forget you can now refund transactions via the windows client...

Website : http://www.noirbits.com

Why should you follow on this takeover ?

• Massive fork ongoing. As previously announced on the Noirbits thread, the coin is massively forked. At least 4 separate blockchains have been created today. Had barwizi pushed checkpoints like he was supposed, this situation would not have happened. I guarantee that checkpoints will be pushed on this version.
  
• Real developer support. I am a professional developer, that's what I do for a living. I may lack some experience in coins compared to old-timers, but I am catching up pretty quickly.
  
• Extended features, starting with 0-confirmation refunds. More details on that in an upcoming post.
  

If you want to follow up, get the client now :

Exchanges

As of now, no exchanges trade Noirbits. Cryptsy has suspended Noirbits due to the forks, we are still waiting on their feedback as to what their next move will be. So for now, it's OTC trading only, but be safe, only trade with people you trust or are community trusted.

More info coming up...
