Hi everyone! My name is Ramoose. I mine and hold Noble, and I am also the guy that supplies the Steam Wallet codes, MTG, and Valve/DOTA2 product to the marketplace (not that we are actually shipping physical products yet).  I am an authorized Steam reseller (I run an Internet & Games Centre) so you can be assured that the steam codes are legit .

I was introduced to Noble in late Jan by Rofo, who I actually know IRL. I don't need to tell you this, but Rofo is a champ and works his ass off for this coin. I have lurked around this thread for months and decided it was time to get more involved in the community. It's been great to see people sticking with Noble through these tough times, and I have no doubt that it will pay off for us in the long term as weak coins are culled and those with real infrastructure and value are left standing.

Stay NOBLE!

P.S for those interested in the physical product on the marketplace, the reason we have not begun shipping yet is due to Rofo's usual commitment to quality. He did not want to overextend himself with this aspect until he could be certain of shipping/postage issues, turnaround times etc. If you are keen for something, PM me and I will see whether we can send orders out on an manual basis.

Yes i did keep the 1.8BTC, so pretty happy about that.

When the price went back up there I had quite a scramble digging through old hard drives to find the one with my wallet.dat! I thought I had formatted it for a while 

Hi everyone!

I've lurked around for a while and have decided to finally create an account as I intend on becoming more active in the crypto scene, particularly regarding NOBLE.

I own an Internet Cafe in Australia. I first learned about bitcoin from a crypto nut friend of mine back in mid 2012. He advised me that my graphics cards (5770s at that time) were just about the most efficient power/hash rate units available. I gave it a go, set up guiminer and mined about 1.8btc in a few weeks. At that time a BTC was worth about $5, so I stopped because I couldn't justify the increased power bill.

Fast forward to November 2013 when the price of BTC starts steadily climbing on the back of the China demand. Man I wish I had kept mining! Never mind, I dug up my old wallet, dusted off guiminer and connected to slush's pool again, only to quickly realize that I was never going to make any coin in this new world of FPGAs and ASICs.

Still, there was no way I was going to miss the boat again, especially as it was still early enough that I could be a somewhat-early-adopter. The next logical move for me was to look at these new-fangled altcoins. I quickly discovered Middlecoin, and chilled there for a few weeks while I learned more about the altcoin scene. Now I am confident enough in my knowledge to manually mine profitable coins and trade them on Cryptsy, so that is what I have been doing since late December.

I'm really excited by NOBLE, particularly by the marketplace (where I intend to establish myself as a merchant) and the commitment shown by the dev team to ensuring the coin has staying power.
