CoinPayments doesn't autosell, it gets passed to us to sell if/when we need it. We're pre-prepared which means we don't immediately sell it, we tend to hold.
People can play it safe and wait until the deal is at a level they want and will get us attention, that's the point we want to naturally reach and find out. At that point they'll buy NOBL or use their current holdings, it gets passed to us, we hold it, and determine how much we can handle at that rate.
Personally I don't feel too many people are interested in the marketplace discount though, many still just speculate and hold. We're a bit ahead of ourselves with using crypto so strongly as a currency. The key thing we wanted to do with this promo. was draw more* eyes to NOBL, the marketplace and its future potential when investors/buyers realise this won't be the last deal accommodated there.
That's also why we'll reduce the sale by 1% a day to a level we can handle, so there isn't some huge dump or rush to the exits when people consider the deal over.
That makes more sense then, in regard to coinpayments. Otherwise it might be a situation where too many marketplace buyers inadvertently lower the price of noble.
As for the discount, I think a better gauge will be when you are near the max level. I mean, it's sort of like commonsense from a consumer standpoint. A store mentions a sale of 30% off in two weeks, people won't go and buy stuff for a lower discount right now. But I expect you are right in regard to the regular discount. Most people here aren't into using crypto as a currency, strangely enough. Many coins don't even pretend to ever be used as a currency. The pump and dump mindset overall is way too prevalent among crypto people... their main goal is to get in and out, cash their money, and don't think about ever actually ever using any coin. I guess one roadblock to that is the giant price fluctuations present in crypto overall... nobody want to be the guy who purchases 2 pizzas and a year later finds out he just spent a small (or in btc's case, large) fortune on them.
For myself, I think it'll be a quick and easy way to take a small amount of profit, assuming you have profit to cash out. Instead of coinbase/banks and all that, just convert coin to amazon gcs, which to me is basically the same as real money. If you have goods on the site I want, possibly even better.
