I'm not sure if I can help or have input really. So many altcoins now that they are largely seen as speculative investments, rather than tools to use to send / receive money and pay for things.

What hasn't happened in my opinion is getting anyone engaged outside of a very niche community of tech users with using altcoins - and that's not terribly surprising given that for most people in most countries buying into a coin is not easy and often doesn't feel particularly safe - I lost many coins through various exchanges in the past that were 'hacked'.

How is the average person supposed to understand altcoins, and even then, pick one to use when there are so many options?

Part of me is tempted to sell all of my coins to BTC and then sell them as well and take the cash.

Thanks, now staking and getting some Noble through that.

This thread seems to have slowed down - what is happening with Noble - I can see the Noble app which looks very impressive, why hasn't that gained more traction?

So, send out amounts of 2m to an exchange and then send them back - I'm not sure what you mean by different addresses within your wallet.

Almost 100m! That is a lot of Noble. I seemed to lose a few million moving from mining to POS, wallet never seemed to get the full amount of Noble over.

Long time Noble holder who hasn't really opened his wallet for a long, long time. Have now updated to POS wallet and have coins in it (just over 9m) and wondering how long they need to be in the wallet before they can start staking - or do I need to send those coins to an exchange and back to enable them to mature and start staking?

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

So what do I need to do when the new wallet is launched to move my coins across?

I hold a fairly large amount of Noblecoin and I am wondering if I should transfer them to somehwere like Poloniex ready for the wallet switch as I understand that this means I can then transfer them back into the new wallet without having to worry about anything technical?

I appreciate the need to change to POS but from a user adoption point of view it is a right pain for the average person to worry about wallet switches and blockchains - if Noblecoin wants to become adopted and successful then from now on it needs to ensure that any user can download a wallet, buy some coins and then not worry about having to do anything technical to secure those coins in future - I wonder how many wallets will not get updated this time and how many potential future users will be lost.

As a long term Noble holder - with a fairly substantial amount - should I be burning Noble to receive Noxt? I must confess to having been away from this scene for a while and have no real clue as to what is going on. I have been following Rofo on Twitter and retweeting Noble news, but with regards to what I should do as a holder of Noble, I'm less clear.

I'm still mining Noblecoin, but only have around 5mhs.

Difficulty has dropped a fair bit lately, making it possible to stock up on Noble by mining again.

I now hold a lot of Noble and have sold very little since joining the community - I have been buying some recently as well (around 5-6million).

Am hoping that Noble will start moving around when the Marketplace discount is enough to tempt people to buy some Amazon vouchers - the only issue is that with the value of Noble so low, people are vary that a decent rise in Noble value would easily beat even a 30% discount on purchases...

Ok, I've just sent enough to put you over 1m now. Still not enough people donating in my opinion - some large donations, great - but lets all give a bit and show that we're all behind the Noble concept.

Glad some people are digging deep. I just made another donation - how far are you from a million now?

Value is very low at the moment. I bought over 4.5m Noblecoins today on Mintpal.

Considering the low value the BTC volume of 25.9 over the last 24 hours is quite impressive. I do wonder if people are preparing for another pump, a lot of Noble has been changing hands lately...

Why is the Noble market on Poloniex frozen?

I'm tempted to buy a few million at this price, at 25 even a modest rise to 50 doubles your money...

Just sent a donation - come on people, we have only given a tiny donation so far, surely we can manage to give a lot more than 10,000 Noble for such a worthy project?

Someone has a huge sell order on Mintpal at the moment, that is quite the buy wall:

0.00000049     BTC                                27,402,511.75734900  Noble          13.42723074 BTC

Noble seen a solid volume all day, without ever getting above 65, a lot of people dumping has meant a lot of Noble has changed hands - just how many hands have stocked up will have an impact on whether we'll see a real pump anytime soon. If the millions of Noble dumped today at this price are now in the hands of a small minority, that minority could really pump the price and attempt to dump at a much higher level.

We'll have to wait and see whether this does happen now.

If we do intend to hard fork, I'd like to change to something that lowers electricity usage and stress on the graphics cards. Mining is not profitable right now.

Lots of sizeable sell orders on Mintpal, would take a decent amount of buyers and a good whack of BTC to get the price moving again.

I'm still mining Noble, but like the idea of mining something else to then trade to BTC to buy Noble, but not many coins have much promise at the moment.

I think if a few miners all agreed to switch over to the charity mining pool at the same time then we could make it a decent pool. However, people - especially those with low hash - are reluctant to switch to a pool that would struggle to find blocks - particularly since the difficulty is well above what it was a couple of weeks ago.

No, I have staggered small sell orders from 40-60.

Anyway, what is wrong with miners trying to cover some costs? I have had 10 GPUS pointed at NobleCoin for a couple of months even when the value was barely - if at all, I am in the UK - covering my electricity costs and I have sold only a fraction of my holdings even during the massive pump Noble has just had.

I mine NobleCoin because I believe in it and the cause, I hold NobleCoin because I hope the charity side of the coin develops until the coin can be used as a valid form of sponsorship, I then want to sponsor causes that strike a chord with me, using my decent-sized stash to do so. However, we all have bills to pay and I haven't yet cashed out a single penny towards covering 10 280Xs, PSUS to power them etc.

Let's positively stimulate demand, rather than criticising miners for wanting to sell a few coins occasionally - after all, selling coins can be a positive thing if someone who does not mine is able to buy some and join the NobleCoin community - if no miners sold any coins we'd be a pretty limited community.

I've put a few sell orders on agx.io to try and stimulate some trade as I think the site is very nice, but is lacking users at the moment.

I'm still holding a lot of Noble but I have to try and cover some electricity bills now, been running 10 GPUS since January and haven't converted a penny into real money yet.

I've sent a tip to fairglu for the bock explorer.
