Release "Day 1" Summary:Time primarily focused on promotions, replying to and establishing community, block-chain explorer, tentative emails to altcoin merchants and services (not exchanges), pools and gearing up for ledger/wallet addresses. We also try to apply a constructive action to criticisms and feedback.
1) Website fixes – account registration/logins and getting the forums up and running (register and come say hi).
2) Translations for the local bitcointalk forums as well as our own for Chinese (done), French, Russian, Dutch, Portuguese & Swedish (in the works).
3) We now have 3 pools – with 1 incoming.
4) We have an open-source block explorer here (function over form for now):
http://www.noblecoin.info/block-explorer/ (thanks icecube45)
5) Replaced ‘Happiness’ with ‘Security’ for branding (thanks mx19) – it’s too obvious not to. These will be rolled out quietly soon.
6) Noblemovement.com registered and will point to noblecoins.info for now (this is for those who value .com's over any other).
Immediate Future (1-2 days):1. We’re now actively but tentatively (we are newcomers after all) contacting the regular alt-coin gaming and online service providers. This is to get an immediate market going, but is obviously not enough to satisfy us. Merchants are our focus: we want NOBLEs to be used for buying goods and services first and foremost. If you know of or frequent any sites and services that use altcoins and add new ones on a regular basis let us know so we can begin approaching people and get an economy rolling. This will become easier once we hit an exchange (we won’t avoid this even if we tried) and there is a BTC value tied to NOBLEs.
2. Evenly spreading the pre-mine funds over a number of wallets and then publishing their addresses on our main site for transparency. These are key-locked, encrypted and stored separately physically for security reasons. They can be monitored by interested parties through the block explorer. Any feedback concerning this approach?
3. HTTPS certificates for the website – this will be to cover the trading and marketplace but also account registration and forum posts. Please don’t use names or passwords linking you back to a NOBLE wallet account!
