https://www.mintpal.com/votingEveryone VOTE please, this coin needs to be on another exchange! Between Coinmarket randomly deciding when it feels like working and fighting bots in coinex, it's hard to see where this coin is going exchange-wise. Not to mention, all these donations and charity drives are not first being converted to BTC first? $5k raised for The Water Project equals 10BTC in wiped out buy orders, sales in the marketplace are being converted NOBL -> BTC -> fiat, correct? I didn't get it when you guys were first doing that and I still don't get it now...please tell me where these dumps are happening so I can stay away. As someone who has been mining this coin since 15 minutes after it launched and following the whole concept in total agreement, I'm getting concerned. I don't say things like "I think it's odd that the coin developer is relying upon coinpayments (which deducts service charges) instead of interfacing with *his wallet*", or a multitude of other things I haven't said thus far out of fear of making people feel bad and trying to maintain this environment of teamwork and positive cooperation. I made a rush job IRC bot with Coinwarz status, CoinMarketCap ranking, calculations and bunch of other crap in under an hour after I realized the existing bot was broken for then over a week and everyone was complaining. Nobody involved with the development team could program an IRC bot? The problem is that this coin has essentially alienated everyone who knows anything. It's not "a whale is holding us down!", it's "nobody gives a shit about this coin". You are all mistaking being locked between high walls with *nobody except us actually buying anything*.
I'm not against the idea of using the premine to buy the votes for MintPal. It is BY FAR the best exchange I've used in quite some time. It has BTC, LTC, DOGE, and some others that are also on coinmarket. Better yet, make an arrangement for charity donations with them. Maybe half the bribe amount will be donated to charity? Those coins have a lot of movement, as well. Personally, I'd rather have 40BTC of buy and sell orders to "balance" rather than 1.3BTC with zero action. Not to mention that an increased amount of transactions along the network is beneficial. That's why I tried to get everyone onboard with P2Pool for multiple reasons over a month ago, but I was ignored. I am not skilled with Python, nor can I pick apart a wallet. Also because I am not the developer, I can't attempt to alter what needed to be altered. I did, however, pass along what needed to be done.
I. LIKE. THIS. COIN.
I'm just getting frustrated because everything with this coin is always "Oh no! Look what happened! I fixed it by pulling from the premine!", and while that's great and all, it shouldn't have happened in the first place. Why is that only this coins pools are so unreliable and constantly get DDOS'ed? Is it some kind of conspiracy against Noble, or maybe do the operators of pools for other coins just know what the hell they're doing? The only pools that's worked decently ever here is Validerror, and he kept 51%ing. That was also downplayed. Also the premine is getting sketch to me because I have no idea what the hell it's for. Is it just some magical bank account that sits there for whenever Icecube screws up, a charity gets scammed by haters, or to cover a discount in a marketplace?
Imagine if you were an investor. You are given the opportunity to invest in two companies. The first one is strictly business, maybe a little shady, but they get the job done and you get a nice little return. The second one has employees that cost the company, and you the investor, money non-stop because it's their first time and their just starting out, they make preventable mistakes, but if they had just spent a little more time learning the required skills before jumping in they'd be a little bit better off...but it's ok because the CEO's dad is a multi-billionaire and has a hidden stash of money to cover their screw-ups. That second company would be a huge pain in the ass that nobody would want to go near.
Please use the premine to pay for votes at Mintpal. You cannot expect everyone to sit here and wait for an angel to come plop this coin on cryptsy when there's X amount of Noble just chilling around exactly for "marketing purposes". 3.4BTC gets to the top of the list.
Increased exposure doesn't equal an immediate pump and dump. Everyone confused a 4 satoshi move as a "pump" or a "dump", but there's NO VOLUME for this coin! If those bots weren't doing their thing on coinex I would say the past 24 hours volume couldn't be more than 1BTC. That's ridiculous.
