That 10 BTC support at 8 is now moving up, they must be tired of never getting dumped on...    Now most of it is at 9 and 10 sats is already filling up fast.   Not pretending to understand it, just like to see things move and be lucky to be in the right place at the right time.

Lots of suppport coming in thats for sure... it would be nice having a couple more people on twitter would help with getting more people involved!

Cryptsy has a 10 BTC order at 8 sat also.   Interesting...

Yep, I will start reaching out to exchanges this week.

Update on PoS wallet testing 2015-02-09

- about 75 hours passed on test blockchain
- we are at block 2754 now
- everything works fine so far
- PoS difficulty reached 1 right at the time of writing this!! so on our test network we reached about 1/11th of difficulty of Hyperstake which is an established PoS currency
- PoW diff stays at 0.0018 which is low. You can join with even slow computers and be able to mine a block from time to time
- I have been running tests with 3 wallets each holding 10 mil coins for 30+ hours so far. Was trying to check if 2 mil transaction size is indeed best to start with. So far the results confirm that. The wallet which started with 2+2+2+2+2 has earned more than second wallet which started with 10 x 1 mil and more than third wallet which started with 3+3+3+1
- supply side - after 75 hours on test blockchain just 616728 coins were added as effect of PoS + PoW. this is tiny in comparison with more than 21 mil which were added on real PoW blockchain. the ratio is at 1/34 as of now. I think this is awesome.

The plan for test blockchain is to keep it running past block 7000 as at height of 7000 PoW mining should switch off. I want to see how this affects the network. If everything goes as planned we will know code is stable.

We have couple more days to go so it still makes sense to join test efforts. After you join feel free to provide your address on test network and we can send you some funds there.

Plan for real blockchain is to switch this month. This is still tentative date as things may be delayed if we hit any issues. But I will try to make an effort to do it in February.

This month unless we hit some major issue. But going smoothly so far.

They will be. Exchanges are also an user, just big one. Then need to perform wallet's upgrade as other users.

Since things are looking fine on the tech side, I guess it's time to worry about the non-tech side:

• make sure all exchange operators can be reached, and get an advance notice
• make a list of all other services that should be notified
• finalize a date & block height for the switch
• communicate that date & block height to all

This will be a perfect solution to me.

Here is a mac os wallet I just compiled if anyone using mac wants to do the test.

I know this question has been asked a million times, but do you have an eta on POS? I only ask now, because it sounds like we are getting close.

It seems to be propped up by some people who think that the coin supply is going to be cut off soon,  but I can't find anything in here to support that idea. 

Am I missing something?

Yeah, I think so. People are starting to notice Noble.

Is this the reason for the huge buy support

Just sent you play money on our test PoS network. Please take a look at docs https://github.com/eagleflies/noblecoin/wiki and check how PoS works etc. Thanks!

No, we are just testing the new PoS wallet. But Noblecoin is still using PoW.

 HI, I have involved more people to support NOBL,  go on with the job, even if you make donations NOBL, I will turn to the friends

Thanks!

Congrats on successfull switch to PoS!

Tests of new PoS wallet are in progress - Noblecoin is still PoW coin though

Update 2015-02-08: about 48h of tests have passed
- we are at block 1514
- no major issues so far
- 83% of last 1000 were created using PoS. this is slightly higher than ideal 80% but nothing to be concerned about. so both PoW and PoS are working fine.
- good news is PoS difficulty went up distinctly from 0.0017 10h ago to 0.0866 now. This means our test network is becoming stronger.
- documentation is becoming better as various people hit edge cases and this is being documented. I'm still looking for more feedback on docs so if something is not right, not clear or can be improved please let me know.

Please do not send money directly using 'send..' command from non-PoS wallet into test PoS wallet. This is not going to work.

The good news is money is not lost in such a case. Created FAQ explaining how to regain access to it. https://github.com/eagleflies/noblecoin/wiki/FAQ

Yes, this is an option. Another one could be to make PoW blocks being mined more often at the very beginning and then slower after some time.
