Sorry I don't have more time to look at this further, but the transaction history also looks normal. I don't know exactly how Cryptsy handles balances when blocks are staking though . . .

I've also sent a PM to Mullick, so hopefully we'll have his input as well.

Cheers.

Without a doubt the DGB vid looks better! And I'm not biased either.  

Seriously, the difference is like night and day. Did you notice that in the Mashable vid they refer to BTC as a commodity? That's not the first time BTC proponents have referred to BTC as a commodity. It happens quite often - in fact I might even risk saying that it is a generally accepted comparison. I guess that's natural since they want to equate BTC with gold.

Gold is not exactly the same as money though. It's not as "liquid" as it were. Gold usually has to be "converted" into a currency before it can be spent. Gold and USD are not the same.

DGB compares itself with real money, with currencies that do not need to be "converted" or "exchanged" in order to be used in real life to purchase "things" (like gold, for example).

This is a huge difference between BTC and DBG (among others) that's always worth keeping in mind. Of course, it is a logical result of the inherent bases of both - the 10 minute average BTC block discovery time and resulting 1 hour confirmation time won't ever let BTC function in real life as a viable currency, whereas DGB's 3 minute confirmation time (and it should not be forgotten that this is also built on top of an even more secure network) does indeed make DGB a real currency (that is also an even better investment as well) like Jared has always envisioned.

That having been said, has anyone watched the BTC blockchain lately? https://blockchain.info/ Those are million dollar total transaction amounts in each new block!!! WOW! And if a crypto that has such important limitations that it is assigned a gold comparison status by default can see this kind of sustained activity, what does that say about the future prospects for a cryptocurrency that's more secure and 20 times faster?

Whose signature line says "The future is bright with DigiByte"? I think you're right!




BTW: very nice ramp on expanding volume in BTC these last few days breaking above the $245.00 area and now backtesting to see if it turns into support - $300.00 could be on the table in short order if it can hold $245.00.

How about making 4 and 5 DigiByte and Noblecoin?

 

That's not DigiByte specific, it's pretty much characteristic of crypto in general. You know it's still in its infancy and we're still taking baby steps.  

I'm making an effort to improve on documentation by first trying to centralize things in one place. Perhaps you might find something useful there.

Let me know what you think. I highly value everyone's feedback.

Thanks, and good luck.

Good enough, and sorry about having offened you. You know, there are people who write books who post what they're doing here, etc., etc., and it's not seen as a problem. Asistec TI is a little more than sharing a second or third coin I'm invested in (I'm a bagholder in several coins as well - thankfully not for much - and I'm sure you, or nobody for that matter, knows anything about them). I think this was/is a little different from what you represent it to be, but I respect your opinion.

Again, please forgive me for upsetting you, and hopefully at least there was something generally applicable and positive that you took away from my introductory post over there . . . I hope I didn't waist your time as well as having offened. 

No, I don't think you phrased it wrongly - I understand you anyway. It's just that I don't think it's suitable for me, or for the furthering of the building of a wider audience (that is if Slack is being proposed as an alternative to this board instead of an additional specific and detailed product development communication channel as it was designed to be).

I don't want to come off as stubborn or as predisposedly standoffish with regards to Slack, but, and at the risk of being seen as such, I do want to continue to argue my point. Perhaps I am not doing my best at explaining my point of view.

I think that Slack is a good idea for internal communications between key team members as they hash out the “nuts and bolts” of whatever task they may be dealing with at any given time, but I don't think it should come at the expense of wide scale dissemination of information. Every form of communication has its place, without a doubt, but when the primary objective is to achieve a widely distributed, decentralized, network and mainstream adoption, I think a priority should be given to the types of communication that reach the largest audiences, especially when dealing with aspects of the product that are common to all users (i.e. wallets, for example). Now, the actual coding being done would be something that I would consider perfect for Slack (github also functions marvelously in this regard), but as for the wider scale decision making, implementation and documentation, I think the wider community forum is a much better place for communication. There's obviously a balance to be sought after, but I think the drawbacks to the goal of building an ever larger and more stable community incurred by any narrowing of communication channels should always be kept in mind, and when in doubt, the subject at hand should be placed before the community at large.

On a more personal level, not being a coder, nor marketing specialist, etc., I don't think I have anything to contribute on a more specific level and that wouldn't be entirely appropriate here to begin with. I imagine that 99% of Noblecoin holders would say the same. Could you imagine just how cluttered the Slack group would become if everyone was forced to look for updates there? That would be extremely counterproductive for those serious devs actually working on the details. I don't see one as excluding the other, but I do see both suffering greatly if they are not used for the specific communication purposes they are each designed for.

I'm not sure if this helps any more than what I've already said, but without denigrating Slack, I think this forum still has its place, and that “place” is where the vast majority of holders get their primary and fundamental information. Of course, this is not to even mention the exposure Noblecoin gets with this thread, and that neglect of this thread, an underestimation of its worth, would also be extremely detrimental to Noblecoin's health, but that's another subject for another day.

I argue for both means of communication, not one at the expense of the other, and both appropriately used for what they were designed for. Recognizing that 99% of users are not going to be participating in specific product development, but that they do want to be apprised of what's going on and do want to take part in major decision making (think about it from the point of view of the difference between stockholders at the company's annual meeting and the developers actually working on the products on a day-to-day basis), I think that this double pronged approach, both channels used appropriately, is a win-win proposal for everyone. Again, what I think should be avoided is anything that is not a win-win double positive.

Has this helped to better explain my thinking on this?

Perhaps I'm wrong, of course, and I am open to hearing about the error in my ways.

Exclusivity kind of goes against my principles. I'm an Open Source "militant", and where that is combined with the effort to develop something that is widely distributed and decentralized, I'm even more radical. It seems to me that the Slack group effort runs counter to all that. I would not want to do anything that undermines the positive developments seen here over the first half of this year and the consequent foundation that has been set for a self-sustaining tradition to be built upon; quite the contrary, as I would recommend that everyone do everything they can to keep that great example of successful Open Source collaboration “up front, and center”, to begin with, by keeping the ethic alive.

Without a doubt! Joe is a great dev! (He also played a key role in switching NOBL over from POW to PoS!)

I'm just not sure XMG is undervalued, or at least so undervalued that it's at the top of the undervalued list . . . which is the subject of this thread . . .

But there's no denying that it's a great coin nonetheless!

Well, you all justly deserve every bit of praise that anyone has to give you. You've earned it!

However, as you know, and like the old saying goes, you're only as good as your last trade/line coded/contribution made/etc. 

The last thing a winner does is rest on his/her laurels. Got to keep things moving, and best to do so by building on the successful momentum already set in motion and it certainly seems like basic wallet improvements are a natural at this time. Continual product development, even if it's only minor at times, also keeps everyone sharp.

Glad to see that you agree, even though, based on what we've seen, I never really doubted that. 

Cheers.

That's right. Really just an announcement, which also includes a few mutually shared core concepts not to be lost on the wise.

With the addition of Noble to Asistec TI Cryptocurrency Forum and its knowledge base project, my signature line, avatar, etc., the eventual question would have come up sooner or later, and I thought the answer, probably being more convoluted later, would be best given sooner and pre-emptively. It's also a "tip" of sorts, something worth looking into, in my opinion, of course, since I think that Noble is clearly playing in the same league as DigiByte. At the same time, it is arguably off topic and I do apologize for any perceived "hijacking" (something I was aware of and wanted to mitigate as much as possible). As such, we can leave things at this, and mark the page so that when someone new asks about the eagle in my avatar . . .  

Thanks for bearing with me everyone.

Cheers.

They're soooo good, and the price is soooo cheap, that it's almost a no-brainer.  

Oh, and by the way everyone, I actually spent some DGB, to buy NOBL, but then I bought it back again once my fiat to crypto exchange finally went through.  

@Sharkzz1, the eagle is essential.

Thanks. Nice to be aboard!

Not a member of the Slack group - wouldn't have time anyhow - BitCoinTalk just about gets all what little "free time" I've got at it is.  

1) Noblecoin

2) DigiByte

3) Myriadcoin (a sympathy play  )

I've added Noblecoin to my "portfolio".

@eagleflies and joelao95,
On top of your technical skills and knowledge that you clearly demonstrated in the pioneering and completely successful switch of Noblecoin from POW to PoS-II, the professionalism shown in your documentation along with its timely dissemination, your open discussions about the various ways of moving forward and then the same with the actual implementation of the agreed upon options, and your almost immediate and impeccable responses to possible issues, make both of you a couple of the best examples we have for how the Open Source world ideally functions. My hat’s off to you both. I don’t think it would have been possible to ask for anything better with the switch, and, if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I’d have said it was impossible. Fantastic work! I hope we see you doing more of the same in the future, helping to make Noblecoin the best it can be.

@fairglu, james6546, ctenc001, and everyone else who belongs to this community,
You represent even more examples of what a cryptocurrency’s community should look and be like – your open, frank and honest above board working relationships and mutually complementary contributions added even more weight in favor of my eventual decision to endorse and become involved in Noblecoin.

@Rofo,
Your example of stepping back and delegating is equally commendable. It’s next to impossible for something of the envisioned scope of Noblecoin to reach its potential without delegating responsibility. In fact, I would say that any attempt to do otherwise would actually be extremely harmful to that goal. Similar to what Merlin said in Boorman’s Excalibur, “when a man lies, he murders some part of the world”, I believe the same can be said for those who hold others back: when a man holds back someone’s efforts to improve things, he murders some part of the world. Said in positive: when a man empowers others to improve upon what’s already been done well, he gives birth to something new once again. You gave birth to Noblecoin, and every time you delegate and empower others to continue building upon that, you give birth to something equally new and wonderful. Something of the scope of Noblecoin, if it’s going to survive, ultimately gains a life of its own, and more so, and more quickly, if it’s Open Source – there’s no holding it back, and it takes just as much of a visionary to “let it go” as it did to conceive it to begin with.

------------------------------------o------------------------------------

As for my 2 cents with regards to ideas for future improvements for NOBL, I would recommend the following:

• 1)   A continual, unwavering, and undistracted focus on the core product, which is A CURRENCY (if there isn’t a currency to begin with, then there’s nothing at all - in spite of all the great value added real-world business partners that we might have), which means MONEY that maintains its value, at very least, and most likely increases in value as the fiats inflate away (never forget that a cryptocurrency’s main purpose is to offer people a decentralized, apolitical, safe haven from fiat depreciation). This should always be a coin’s main priority, in my opinion – a safe place to store one’s wealth – and fantastic independent value added satellite businesses are obviously the icing on the cake in the most positive sense of the phrase.

• 2)   Always keeping in mind the basic underpinnings mentioned above, I would recommend that current publicity campaigns focus on and leverage the strengths of Noblecoin: the safest, most advanced, and best developed PoS in existence made possible by a truly decentralized and exemplary Open Source dedicated community that will only continue to get better and grow. Ultimately it’s the community that makes the currency something to be trusted (means of exchange have always been commonly agreed upon monetary units, the difference being that historically, until now, excepting the precious metals, which also require mutually agreed upon consensus, it’s been governments that have created that “trust”) and that indeed is our most important responsibility.
  
  With respect to the technical side of things, along with the cosmetic improvements already mentioned by others, I would recommend prioritizing wallet improvements with a more intuitive “one click” type of management of transactions and their groupings (for the less tech savvy who are not comfortable with command line instructions) which, with PoS–II, will increasingly become necessary everyday operations for active wallet holders. I highly recommend continual development, in proactive manner, dealing specifically with known issues before they get out of hand. In regards to transaction management, that would also include education of best practices for manual use while more “automatic” means are being developed – of course, the great documentation and open development characteristic of this community serve as fantastic foundations for that education. Unrushed product development of this sort also keeps the community alive, active and in touch.

------------------------------------o------------------------------------

In my opinion, the switch from a simple, low network hashrate, scrypt POW to PoS-II is a game changer for Noblecoin. It is no longer just another altcoin to be mined and dumped for something more stable and more secure. I think that with the end of POW, Noblecoin will not only see the end of continuous sell pressure perpetually driving price lower, it will actually begin to see the exact opposite: continual buy pressure that perpetually drives price higher. As people slowly come to realize the huge potential that Noblecoin has to offer, that in becoming THE state-of-the-art and safest PoS cryptocurrency in existence leading the way in its space it has actually become that “something more stable and more secure” itself, and that since the only way to get involved is by purchasing NOBL, price has nowhere to go but up.

------------------------------------o------------------------------------

Given everything I’ve just outlined, and in interest of full disclosure, I’d like to make public my recent purchase of a medium sized amount of NOBL (something along the lines of a top 20 rich list amount). I will also be incorporating Noblecoin into my efforts to slowly build what I hope will someday be a comprehensive cryptocurrency knowledge base that has to date focused exclusively on DigiByte. Noblecoin will be a natural complement being that it will put what is in my opinion the best PoS in existence shoulder to shoulder with what I consider to be the best POW in existence.

------------------------------------o------------------------------------

Again, kudos to everyone involved here, and best wishes to everyone who continues to give Noblecoin a life of its own that knows no limits.

I'm especially impressed with the "Learn About DigiByte" section.

https://digibytegroup.com/learn-about-digibyte/

Very nice work!

Congrats! AGAIN!!! Yet another milestone! 

Try changing your startup command to this:


Add: you also need to have the full blockchain downloaded and in sync . . .

The mining is good these days while the network hashrate stays at very nice levels when seen from a security standpoint.

Very nice.

Steady as she goes.   

Very interesting read starting here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=895020.700

Going either backwards or forwards.
