Topic: NobleCoin[NOBL] - 8% PoS | 1Yr+ | MARKETPLACE | PAY | GIFT | CHARITIES/MERCHANTS - page 204. (Read 1053172 times)

+1 Gizmo. I can vouch for you as I have been mining from the beginning also without dumping any (I still mine 24/7). It's interesting how similar our attitude/thoughts are towards Noble and Jason. I think the Noble community as a whole have similar views and that is one of our best assets.

Although it's uncomfortable watching the value of your investment diminishing 1 satoshi every few days, if we forget about the price for a short time and think about what Rofo (and the Noble community) are accomplishing it makes it all seem worth it again. IMO even IF we were to fail, it was still worth it because we did it the NOBLE way without cheating, stealing, scamming or screwing anyone over!

P&Ders will always get the recognition they don't deserve (thanks to human nature) in the short term, but if we outlast them then we have a great chance of long term success by slowly filtering to the top.

I think it's worth mentioning that I also support Dnotes. For those that don't know, they have a close community also and the developers work like Rofo.
They did a halving of mining supply a few months ago and the price went up from 250sat to over 1000. Is a halving something Noble should look at doing as a intermediate progression before POS?

Very nice spoken, I am with you.
Also collecting and holding Noble. People think that the altcoinrewards are already given away, but it isn't even started. Some coins had a good start and some had a bad start. A lot of coins were scams and they will disappear. From all trustworthy coins we can not predict the future. But finally it's al about trust. To get mass adoption people have to trust the devs and that's where we are going to win. I keep buying al these cheap Nobles and I don't see any value in selling under a couple hundreds satoshis.

You want a use case? I've been a die hard supporter since the inception of NOBL. NOBL has been my coin of choice for mining, that's it, since January. I mine with Poolerino and Lifeforce and had great success with them both. I've bought items from the NOBL market, I've used NOBL between friends to buy, sell, trade services and goods, I've made a long term investment in this coin. The BTC I acquire, I buy more NOBL. Why? .....because to me it's not just the coin, I'm investing in the developers and the community. That's a big deal to me. It builds confidence. I don't mine to dump, I mine to use. While the the price has dropped, I have wondered about my investment, but this community and the regular updates and transparency from developers like Rofo make me feel much better about where I stand. Keep up the good work guys and I appreciate your efforts to stand apart from every other alt coin.

I've only kept track of Noble sporadically, and have always like it... have a couple million coins tucked away.

I may be in the minority, but I've always viewed the marketplace as being much more notable than the coin itself. Using the coin as a marketing tool to get people to use the marketplace may work better than trying to get folks interested in the coin directly.

I also liked that old 'partner coin' idea, where by just holding Noble, investors get freebie coins of different flavors. I assume that idea has been put on the back-burner for now.

Might be doing the same.. Not feeling like losing coins :s

+1. I guess the best help we can be at the moment is to try to think of ideas to promote Noble and try to keep things positive, I know that is what I am trying to do...

After reading about what Mintpal asked of Rofo (130m coins), I've just withdrawn almost everything I own from there.
I'll be using them as little as possible from now on.

Keep up the great work Rofo, I wish I knew how I could realistically help more.

Yeah, screw mintpal! There are plenty of other exchanges. They will see their folly when they only list P&D coins.

the altcoin secene is still too young. everyone (moolah etc) wants to make big money with P&D coins. when devs see that it is hard work to build up a solid coin they will jump off. it`s only a question of time...

Happy to see noblecoin still exist here   

Regarding PoS, I meant we are doing that now (as we are) and then look into evolving into DPoS if it gains traction and support after 6-12 months.

Regarding Moolah, the last time I personally spoke to Mintpal/Moolah they wanted approx. 130 million coins from us and us to hard fork to change specifications/protect them better (the VRC rollback/drama came not long after instead) or 'we wouldn't be worth their money listing any more'. That's why we aren't on that list - they're running their NOBL exchange on reserves. I imagine the ideal situation for them is for us to be dead or extremely cheap before they ask you to withdraw all the NOBL remaining on their exchange.

Don't you find it odd that some of the biggest p&d & 'scam coins' appear within 24 hours on the largest exchanges while it took us 4-6 months with constantly having to request/prove ourselves at risk of removal since? You wanted a coin that is 'scam-free/manipulative/whale/corrupt/p&d free', well this is what you get. Does anyone volunteer to fake volume or hire a p&d crew/Twitter promo. to get us attention for a week or two, because the second I initiate/organise that (it would come out) or give Moolah 130 million NOBL the backlash would be higher.

Most of the active #coinmarkets traders are big fans of NOBL and think we're 'as legit as all Hell'. The reason they don't trade us and because our volume is low? Not because we're 'shit', not because of any delay in PoS (though that will be a nice cover to garner some profit), not because we're dying (they actually think our current price is a damn shame). The reason is because we have no whales backing or manipulating us. We aren't traded as strongly because people know I'm not in bed with the half a dozen or so of the largest groups, they didn't create this coin and they aren't manipulating it to profit from for BTC. Now I know that's not the only reason, but it is a big one and a reflection of how things work right now.

Would you like me to change that and become the opposite of NOBL? It's definitely in my power (and I'd lie if I said I wasn't tempted almost every day to make another coin or two & fake everything so I'd be much richer instead of struggling short-term), but we're giving a coin that isn't meant to survive in this current state of alts (but will thrive if things change), but one that remains legitimate and accountable as if I were abiding by most laws.

If you believe this is all alts will ever be and don't like our current price or speed, I'm sorry but I just can't keep repeating myself every day to try and soothe things over (hence why I've gotten quieter). If you think we have a shot longer-term (and at risk of being labelled a bagholder) then hold on for a while and let us do our thing, maybe help out once in a while with a use-case or something that adds value.

Please, before you begin telling me I need to work harder or tell me to fix the price you need to understand I am. I need to wake up with some external progress and/or a thank you for sticking with NOBL for 8 months rather than negativity every day. I'm not a robot.

Times change, alts will change, and our price will change.

I was just about to post the same thing - seems you beat me to it.

Jason, maybe you want to get in touch with them personally to see that Noble survives on Mintpal when it changes over.

Noble not on the list = removal if we don't act.

Go tweet.

What is DPos as opposed to Pos? What is the time schedule now for NOBL moving to Pos? surely not 6-12 months!!?

Just keep working, people will understand some delay and quiet in return for awesomeness!

I'm not going to lie that I am not looking forward to the PoS change, but we can't rush these things.

Agreed.

I would like to get PoS sorted and then go into talks/longer-term serious consideration of DPoS and the practicalities/potential of going that route from our current code/position in 6-12 months.

I'll touch base with the developer who confirmed the PoS transition with me and double-check schedule as well as ask him if he is happy to be attributed to our project publicly (as an external but professional help - people working together). I'd like to work closer with him as I feel we have some projects that can benefit his coin also and he deserves all the recognition he gets.

In the meantime our Marketplace deals are back up to 15% and we are catching up with our NobleRoad fork now that OB is in phase one 1 beta.

Also, for the marketplace trolls (now that marketplaces are hot): https://twitter.com/NobleCoin/status/506353936366727169 <3

We still have other things in the works as always. We have not gone anywhere. Truth be told I'm putting my head down and working through the tough market because there's a lot of negativity being flung around (some perhaps understandable) and I can't soothe everyone all the time, only continue on our projects (some sensitive, some public).

I disagree on POS, I think POS has a limited future, people know if they didn't get in on the act before POS then they have lost out. Look at PND, they had a massive update over the weekend, price went down because new investors know people are just going to dump there stakes on them.

With that being said if your coin is a quality coin it really doesn't matter what your doing. POS/POW/2nd Gen it will succeed.

I think the main way to achieve that (apart from promotion obviously) is through the market. A lot of people used the market when it was first launched; especially for the discount items bought with NOBL.

I think we generally can't rely on PoS to be the magic savior of the Noble price. We need to get the word of Noble out, and provide buy support etc..

PoS will bring a temporary price raise, but I think we need to do more in order to sustain a higher price level and to get new people in. Our community is getting a bit small IMO...

It's a general trend indeed.

Regarding updates, rofo has been updating regularly. Problem is that development takes Time and rofo is reluctant to make promises when he is not sure that he can keep them.

From a community promotion point of view the pos cant be released soon enough imo. Infographics etc cannot be made now without the final specifications.
