I apologise for not being too open with the recent ANN, it's 'codenamed' Knight and we've tested a few setups. We also want to give the full list of items coming on the marketplace (it will be juicy). The delay with bullion is simply because I need as much info. and assurances as I can before dealing, reselling, advertising it with crypto. because we don't want anyone coming down on us hard.
Marketplace:
$500 in sales last 24 hours. $1,000 worth of orders a day as we suddenly have a lot of PMs/orders/interest and want to be sure we can cover it consistently medium-term. Mintpal speculation will still affect when the deal becomes more worthwhile. It will stay up @ 18% at least for the week before moving up again (won't be reduced any time soon).
not "policing" in the context on law enforcement. but more in the context of self regulation.
for example: when in doing a police call, everyone picks up every scrap of trash out on the field... for those that know as to what i'm referring to.
everyone has their part and to an extent responsibility as an individual to do their best to keep things honest and to call out corruption. that is where Honor comes in, because if you have people screaming SCAM!!! at someone or something just to discredit them, there is no Honor in that.
i agree that we can't be a law enforcement entity, and more than that we shouldn't be. to be honest we shouldn't even have to think about that. yet as a community ( not Noble but the crypto community at large) it is becoming apparent that we need to become more proactive to rid ourselves of as many bad actors as we can. otherwise we ( the crypto community) will have spend all this effort in vain, due to regulatory restrictions and the coming of the crypto police.
we have this moment to prove to the world that we can and will police ourselves. and as you said, we ( the Noble community) shouldn't even think about becoming a sudo policing force, in the context of law enforcement ( a crypto sheriffs department). but as a greater community ( the crypto community as a whole) we should not stand idly by while a few people fleece the rest of the world.
just my thoughts...
it occurs to me that we ( the global community) are standing on a precipice. we can advance our species and our global economy, or we can let it fall in to the " pit of despair" that the current models have lead us to. crypto isn't inflationary, and that is a threat to many. it can't be printed by the trillions, and it can't be pulled from the ground ( even gold, silver, and platinum are inflationary). it could be one of our best tools to advance us to become a type 1 civilization. but only if we work together to make it happen. in this digital world, information can be the greatest weapon ever.
oh and one more thing Rofo.... yes we are still working in that..... some parts are extremely complicated, but it is moving along, albiet slowly, with moving and numerous other complications.
