I'm sorry buddy but to answer your question (again) we are reaching out, we are promo'ing and we are constantly reaching new merchants (we are with CoinPayments and are now accepted by 30 merchants/charities). We are not waiting, and if you have any more interesting promotional ideas that don't include having guys set up outside the NYSE promoting and educating NobleCoin (alongside a few others) and an even more 'secretive' plan coming involving miknutty that we are working/waiting on until it is ready to be announced.
The NYSE details should be coming within 24 hours.
We don't like announcing until we have delivered. Look around you, you have coins announcing Fiat>Coin exchanges (then retracting them), coins announcing they will be used primarily to buy drugs (a stupid announcement to publicly make and also an ASSUMPTION), coins announcing they will protect you from the government and enable illegal activity (I can definitely personally see the value there in terms of anonymity and not liking the current system of control, but good luck with that), coins announcing they are backed by major banks and anonymous multi-million dollar companies. Where is the proof? Where is the deliverance? This market is based on BS announcements by anonymous players pulling at your heart strings, and I'll be damned if we announce something we haven't proven we can provide.
You point out Flappy as an alternative to our problem of PoW reward system, yet they have 100 billion (?) coins planned with a reward in the 100s of thousands? It is easy to criticise a coin when it is at a low and I understand that, but your alternatives seem to be looked at with rose-tinted glasses.
If we need promotion, help promote us.
edit: To date we have delivered a network 30 merchants/charities, a successful (minus the reversal we are fixing, do your homework on the other coins) Water Project with 11k twitter followers that is recognized and respected internationally, a marketplace allowing you to buy ANYTHING from Amazon internationally @ 10% below RRP, with more incoming. If you feel this is not the right coin for you, we are not meeting expectations and the grass is greener elsewhere, I truly am sorry to see you go and that you view this coin as a bad investment, but I wish you the best of luck in your investments or day-trading elsewhere (whatever your cup of tea may be).
We don't control the market. We don't control what whales and miners do. We don't control the value. All we can do is continue to be here every day, working hard and delivering on what we say we will deliver.
Well said Dev, also can you post the code for your current sig?
