Don't mean to rain on the rofo parade, but what exactly does noble nxt do that other crypto doesn't. As far as i can see it's just a nxt asset with a tomb of a "whitepaper" (maybe someone should tell rofo what whitepaper means) masquerading as a legitimate business instrument. Why not just issue/buy stock on a regulated exchange If you want regulated and known issuers? or just directly buy nxt, bts, etc and issue you're own asset? I don't see the point here, and I don't really see anything demonstrably novel in noble or noble nxt, despite everyone's claims that rofo is an awesome dev (does publishing your name make you awesome? is that why coblee is super fantastic?).
anyway, if someone could fill me in, would be appreciated.
It is backed by the work of a registered company focusing crypto regulations.
When you buy noxt now you are actually buying services tokes for this company.
EDIT: this token will be able to use noble coin infrastructure as well which will include noble pay, noble trade, noble gift, Precious Metals, Diamonds & Jewelry, Marketplace and many more (this is why the paper is so long
please read the utilities section for more information)
EDIT2: We are on #noblecoin , join us for more information
So what you're saying is that it's crypto backed by a centralized institution (a registered company)? This has been done before, and it usually ends up being a scam (MidasCoin, PayCoin, UI3 coin or something). I'm not saying this is a scam, but I still don't really see what purpose it serves, besides enriching the centralized institution/registered company that everything revolves about.
I think the crypto being completely against centralization of some sort is a very, very unrealistic idea. Sorry to say, but centralization and focus of some kind in any type of ventures is inevitable.
Also, NOXT doesn't offer to be the next bitcoin 2.0 as far as I can tell - it's a niche, business oriented crowdfunded asset. It has a more specific focus than say bitcoin or litecoin.
Lastly, 'enriching' anyone is a false concept - rather, the crowdfund is already being used to purchase licensing and registration. You would know this if you checked out the NOXT ANN where the progress has been posted by Jason Curby, and saw the documents posted showing registration.
There's the core of the matter - crowdfund is already being used for business expenses EVEN BEFORE THE CROWDFUND IS OVER. Isn't that a vast departure from ambiguous 'business plans' of other scam ipos that doesn't even provide a sliver of proof that the gathered funds are being used to building the project specifically?
He is already head and shoulders above most other projects, with transparency that was provided even before anyone asked for them.
What more do you need? Do you need to chain and tie rofo to your bed post while he works 24/7 for your profit?
Apparently, funding a legitimate, transparent, and honest developer who has so far spent the funds exactly the way he said he would, and provided proof before anyone even asked for them, means you are 'enriching' someone. You need funds to begin a venture. Your benefit as a first investor is that you are getting the first come first serve opportunity to take part in a potentially revolutionary and driven project that can both turn profit and results.
People want projects to turn out good results, but is not even willing to impart a sliver of trust or appreciation towards a dev that has worked on a project with steady dedication, honesty, and dare I say it, honor, since the beginning of 2014 (january to be specific). Even when the shit coin pumpers ignored noblecoin and consequently it was deemed a 'failure' for not being pumped and dumped. Do you believe you can demand all from the developer when you are just sitting on the sidelines? If you are an actual investor, then you may have a place to give feedbacks on the progress of the project. If you do nothing to help out, and just buy to profit, then your only privilege is having a piece of the pie in a project that you do nothing to contribute towards otherwise.
Of course, they never complain when someone pumps and dumps shit coins as long as they get paid with profit from other buyers (at least during the process - they are saints afterwards).
There are greedy, hypocritical individuals who make no noise when profits are pouring in, and it's certainly not the developer of NOXT.
Let's get some perspective here - these statements critiquing crowdfund by a completely open and public dev that has delivered results even before the crowdfund is over are essentially saying 'do everything I say and meet all my standards, satisfy my sense of comfort or you are a scammer/fraudster/incompetent'.
Read the NOXT ANN, and let's discuss things further if you have questions. Many questions are already answered there along with the whitepaper - and the fact that it is long doesn't somehow magically make it 'less' of a whitepaper. There are, afterall, much more to NOXT than just the techinical specifications and distribution plans.
Make it short, and they scream 'incompetent'. Make it long, detailed, and specifically planned answering all possibilities and future plans, and it gets called 'not a whitepaper'.
Really?
People throw money at 3000 - 20000 btc 'ipos' that hype and promise profiteering, while paying little heed to legitimate, professional projects that much more deserves funding and attention. If they demand quick profits and dumping on other for profit, that's what the free market will give them.
If you want to see legitimate projects to thrive and honest, professional approach to gain traction, then it would be best to exercise some long term vision and begin supporting them. If your goal is to dump for profit and to hell with anything else - then you get the current state of crypto. A state that will change starting with 2015, and you can either go along with the trend or get left behind.
