edit: that might be a good thing, it could help to clear the crap from the scene. as well as help to boost the activity amongst the ' legit ' coins. and since Rofo is listed, and out front with the regulation and tax thing, dragging everyone into the light could only help us ( the crypto community, and the Noble community especially)
THAT is the reason (I think) why lot of devs simply don't like us.
They DON'T want to show their faces and they DO want to launch new coins and scam the more naive part of ppl again and again and again.
Right now, crypto scene is completely unregulated and, in the minds of many, that translates to 'free'.
That's the same as saying 'Wild West was utopia because it was largely unregulated and therefore free'.
Yes, 'free' if you are roaming band of tribal bandits or cattle thieves. Same ones praising the 'open' nature of crypto and childishly deride the idea of regulations are often the first to lawyer up or go crying to the courts when some things like mt.gox happens.
Everyday there are those around who couldn't care less if the crypto is around a year from now - they just want their magical internet money to sprout even if it means using the blood of others, and swap it out for btc then to fiat.
Nation states, regulations, and structure are all the end result of natural progression in attempting to create an environment where vast majority of those willing to abide by common standards can benefit and progressively advance without having to constantly look over their shoulders and thereby distracting them from their main goal.
The real question is not 'rah rah rah fite da powa' (which is often just shallow outbursts of impotent frustrations due to their own lack of strength and personal qualities), but whether you have what it takes to take hold and control your course of action that you may come out on top within such an environment, and essentially letting your own perseverance and merits speak for themselves.
Such ideas, and willingness to expose the hypocritical and unflattering images of the pure p/der's (scammers), are a threat to such people. One thing they can do is try and discredit the dev by sabotaging his coin and thereby trying to damage his credibility, although anyone can see two are unrelated and such vandalism merely reinforces the dev's idea regarding such people in the crypto scene.
Hence, the current situation.
Our community support can overcome this situation, and it seems the dev have already taken measures to guard against future 51% by working with exchanges.
Expecting good things in the future for noble
