although you guys could probably just mine and buy as you choose and would not have to rely/trust a 3rd party to hold any funds for you?
+1
I think everyone could do just as good as that by mining some other coin, selling it and buying noble with it. That is just an awesome idea, as it brings the much wanted buy support.
yes, but we could make a much larger impact if we move as one
Maybe but to be honest I don't trust any 3rd party anymore in this crypto scene and I don't trust any 2nd party even that bit when it's about money. It's basically the same if you ask everybody to point their rigs to some alt and convert it to noble at the end of the day. There you also have solid profit for everyone and nobody gets screwed over.
i can respect you skepticism and i understand it. but what is worth more, a couple days of mining a different coin or all of your efforts building the Noble base. granted it can be said that all i am think about is myself since all i own at this point is Noble, and it would be fair to say that. which is why i suggested rofo as the bag holder, since he has proven himself to be an honorable person. i can also appreciate the difficulty in giving up mining time and the pinch to the pocket book. but what i am suggesting is that a day or two of a combined effort is worth up to 2 weeks of individual effort.
i realize that i have been out of the loop for a few weeks, and catching up on events is , to be honest, depressing. but i hope that we are not so jaded as to abandon what we are trying to accomplish here. i realize that we are all here ( on some level) to make money, but from what i have gathered, we are all at a risk of having all that effort and investment ( whatever that may mean to you) wasted unless we work together. we can do this and prove to the community at large that we are willing to benefit humanity as a concerted effort. or we try to do it separately, we may be able to produce the desired effect, or it could result in an artillery barrage without any direction ( loud event but little effect). or we can concentrate our efforts and establish ourselves as a force to be reckoned with.
from what i have seen in the past and caught up on in the last 24 hours. Noble has been under attack for some time, between bots, DDoS attacks, and slander. we have been a shield wall against all kinds of under handed tricks. if we can just agree as to which coin to use as a medium, that would at least be a start. i would hope that by now we could all agree that the other coins are afraid of this currency and ( it would appear) will not stop at anything to stop us. we must be willing to muster the same enthusiasm ( not to be confused with the same tactics) to combat such aggression.
i'm not saying that i'm right about the actions to be taken, but an organized effort would be much more effective.
well i'm off to bed, it's 4 am over here. and in need to get some sleep
i'll be back in a few hours
