With the forum already being discussed I can now address some of your questions, it would however be better if they had been posted here. A lot (5 people really) have been asking on NRT, this project is not active. At the moment my sole focus (when i have time) is getting NRB on it's feet and creating it's platform. In support of some of the ideas i have put forward as of early in the new year i will be offering three servers and 5x 2.8 mh/s rigs for hire, payment is in NRB only. Full specs will be uploaded with the pictures once some of the newer stuff arrives.
I am going to create two or three pooled funds NRB, BTC and perhaps LTC that whose addresses will be published and the transactions will be easily verifiable for the community, if i can get that php guy to cooperate, balances and latest transactions will be displayed on a single webpage. The purpose is to fund things like the forum, bounties, games, promotions and development should I need outside help. In an effort to deal with the node issue, i have again purchased an additional 3 small dual core machines that will be permanently online at my residence, workplace and a family members home in South Africa to ensure that people always have something to connect to other than pools and cryptsy.
I like the Noirbits and hope things will get better again when you launch the services.
Keep us tuned!
