NobleCoin will be actively and promoting working together with other coins and communities that we feel show true passion and dedication if they are also interested. The state of cannibalism and finger-pointing we’re in is destroying the alternative cryptocurrency scene. We’re not talking UNOCS, although we wouldn’t shy away from such an idea, but we’re at least talking shared resources, ideas, merchants and charities. We think the idea of ‘coins working together’ at this point needs to be considered again, albeit more cautiously, in order to return some semblance of teamwork and respect to the scene.
We’re also currently considering accepting more coins on the NobleCoin Marketplace to allow other communities to trade and buy if they so desire, but that comes once bullion licensing, self-managed stores and bidding sections are implemented. It will also only be considered if it is welcomed and embraced by the developers, representatives and communities of other coins. We are offering it in a spirit of good-will and teamwork between coins, however there are still competitive elements to such actions and we don’t want others to feel like we are ‘cutting in on their action’, especially considering the 12% discounts on our marketplaces aimed towards NobleCoin users. Ultimately we’re working towards improving the prospects and values of all coins working together as a ‘unified front’ working outwards towards mainstream is far more desirable than independent coins looking inwards cannibalizing one another.
In light of our long-term plans we have been approached by a number of communities from other coins in the spirit of teamwork and, hopefully in the future, sharing resources, merchants, development and services in some form or another. We will be accepting
Diamond from this point onwards at the marketplace to gauge the reaction of multiple communities and if/how we can begin to benefit by acting in a more
united sense rather than as
'armed camps'.
Some things to note:- NobleCoin will
always be prioritized and receive the 12% discount, other coins will have to help with particular promos if they want
- This is being done to
draw attention to the NOBL marketplace as a service and hopefully (in the spirit of goodwill) draw some more community and NOBL supporters our way, as many people support more than one coin
- New coins or sales do not take away our time from focusing on NobleCoin - we will probably only get 1 or 2 extra sales a week
- In light of any transparency concerns, we will be publishing the amounts of each coin taken in sales (if in doubt, perhaps CoinPayments will be happy to confirm totals, I'm not sure)
- Longer-term, more sales helps me run the marketplace on a personal level as it does cost time and money
- We are working towards a more 'united' approach where coins working together in some way or another benefits both parties more so than if we didn't accept them/work together whatsoever. There are a lot of genuine cryptocurrency supporters out there, and by reaching out and offering our services we're hoping to see some love back our way.I'm hoping this doesn't raise too many eyebrows nor seem like I am turning the marketplace into something purely to benefit myself. We have an ABN listed, personal details and soon second-hand license for bullion, and will be publishing our profit/lass statements for tax time so that we can continue to show we're not just in this for ourselves.
If we show everyone who is interested that we're happy to work with them, we're betting we will be seeing more merchants, community members, services, and votes our way back in appreciation. Personally I'm tired of the finger-pointing, 'armed camps' and bickering when we have a whole outside world still waiting to be introduced to cryptocurrencies. We get the feeling a lot of you feel the same.
Please let me know your thoughts, I want this to be done right and sit well with everyone. We have more info. coming this weekend also.
Edit: One final note, while our movement and marketplace will being to work together with other coins, our charitable and humanitarian work based on the marketplace sales will
always be donated in NobleCoin. Commerce for all, while our movement and website informs. on cryptocurrency charities and promotes
international philanthropy in NobleCoin.
