1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: NobleCoin[NOBL] - *GOING PoS*NOBL/$USD*MARKETPLACE*55 CHARITIES/MERCHANTS* on: October 19, 2014, 03:12:03 AM
In light of Moolah and increasing heat on those involved in the altcoin space & money (including myself) I am now releasing the following information for public record.

A lot of this is already public record since January (2014's first public and voluntary PoD?) but since this kind of 'transparency' is a new marketing tool and addresses to prove funds didn't move earlier in the year is not enough, I am releasing it all on another level. This will be my final 'money-related' release about funds and reserve addresses before being summarized for good on our website. It's done as always in good faith and the majority of expenses can be verified by 3rd parties. I'm done receiving scam and email alerts about the whole affair.

My real and only name is Jason Curby. My ABN (which predates crypto., reg. 2004. related to IT and web development) but is now tied to all reports for the marketplace expenditure and BTC>fiat reporting is 92 119 945 303 (http://abr.business.gov.au/SearchByAbn.aspx?abn=92119945303). I have plenty of time to file a tax report related to all crypto-dealings especially since Australia has revised it a number of times. I retain all records of 'business-related-crypto' expenses.

I have a single Perth Mint Australia trading account linked and verified to my real name, which is to be used in the future for bullion trading once legalities/funding is finally resolved. My second-hand and dealers bullion licensing will all be tied and verified to my real name, this part has been the kicker with funding and legalities related to purely. bullion/crypto. backing,'pegging' and trades in Australia.

My total sell orders in BTC over 9 months is 53.5875 BTC, of a total value of $27,921.34. Meeting marketplace orders in that time done on our end in fiat totalled $14,403.93. These orders are recorded and backed up on our server and through 3rd party payment processor CoinPayments. There are a fair few orders met using BTC (as most now are also) with no fiat exchange done. To the best of my knowledge no orders were of a quantity (all <$1,500) or of a product requiring an ID check. I share no information related to customers or orders.

My largest fiat expenses were dedicated server hosting & backup (BudgetVM) - approx. $1,980, eCommerce & plugin licensing approx. $1,000, approx. $2,500 in non-CoinPayments marketplace orders or bonuses for delayed orders, and approx. $700 of Water Project donation was via fiat. during BTC and credit card fraud issues we had to resolve.

I did not receive nor ask for a tax deduction for any charity donations we made, as they were community oriented and will not benefit me in any way for any taxation.

These totals meet approx $20,083.93 in fiat, leaving $7,837.41 related to travel, expenses, profit from non-NOBL related altcoin trades (from a personal perspective I myself am not a highly active trader), hardware and general expenses. That $7,837.41 is the amount that can be contentious over 9 months as it is the only amount not verifiable by a 3rd party as related to running the marketplace or NOBL-related expenses and if you are so inclined to do so make your peace with it here.

Of the $300,000+ value of NOBL I made a strong point of not selling and distributing for NOBL projects, bounties, covering exchange/pool hacks and giveaways $27,921.34 became fiat and approx. $20,083.93 of that has direct paper trails for legitimate expenditure related to the marketplace.

If this ever needs to be legally verified I have a single BtradeAustralia account linked and verified to my real name and personal email. It is my only BTC>fiat>BTC channel. I have a single BTC address for all personal and professional transactions (164Ka2nS9oLyEQKDzjQceHerCd92mvt8bQ). The total amount of BTC I currently own is 0.375. The total altcoins I hold is approx. 1.9BTC worth. Total NOBL is now at approx. 45mil.

I am not a NOBL market mover nor manipulator (revised since I have nothing against them, I simply am not one for 'my' own coin). You will see with these numbers I am not in the top people who made a good amount of money on NOBL this year. I hold a good amount of information regarding who holds what and you would be surprised, however I will generally respect privacy if things remain being done in good faith. Habit demands I do not share too much insider-info. in an unfair manner and for good reason. In fact I got a little too close a number of times to doing that this year. To many 'making' this amount of money on an altcoin and our premine and/or trading is funny and I wouldn't really blame them for laughing. For myself and NOBL these years are the 'testing years' and I'm happy to play the long game for better or for worse since the only money I really care about is for necessities and spoiling my partner when I can.

I am on no teams anonymously nor behind any other coins, ever, period, although the pay makes it more than worthwhile my general stance on how things should work has left me an outsider on all things 'inter-coin'. I'd be happy to work for others though if it improved my own and NOBL's prospects and didn't compromise me. I look forward to working closer with DMD however and I hope they accept this sort of disclosure for what it is, transparency in good faith.

For the record I also don't support or encourage regulation but I accept it's coming in no small part due to how we as a whole have acted. It would not bother me if this place remained the Wild West indefinitely (it's free and fun). The only thing that bothers me is keeping myself as clean and accountable to myself if no-one else. I am currently not nor do I have any desire to talk to or inform any authority any 'wrongdoings' of any actor unless I am legally obligated (of which there is no case where I am thus far).

The reason I am doing this is because the next project I am working on building upon NOBL for 2015 will require this type of information and more. The altcoin community should have demanded this kind of transparency and accountability from the start. Professional & institutional investors demand it (although they generally don't appreciate my non-professional frankness), so I don't know how some of these coins think they're fooling anyone marketing how they are. The Moolah fiasco has fast-tracked what we've brought upon ourselves. While I have no desire or information to see anyone else 'scrutinized' and what they personally do with their finances is generally their own business I'm in a country fortunately progressively friendly to crypto. but that is also ensuring its citizens abide by certain rules.

The 'always doing wrong' approach/accusations leaves me releasing all of my crypto-financial info. because frankly I've just had enough. I am not the kind of actor bringing this scene down, I alongside others have spent a long time trying to warn and educate the community to move forward. The reason I refuse to appease certain actors like Moolah is because of how they act and their unprofessional 'vibes', it's not because I'm trying to control any coin. Leave me out of any accusations please and allow this post to act as an unofficial full disclosure.

edit: I am hoping for the best regarding the Moolah/Mintpal fiasco. If I am given any additional info. regarding NOBL on the exchange I will share it, but everything I know about the situation with NOBL has been shared already.


Very nice. i want to be the first to extend the olive branch, and let you know (publicly!) that NOBL will be the first coin listed on Renascence Exchange!!!  Cheesy

Just recompiled from http://github.com/blocktech/gamerholiccoin

put this to .conf:
addnode=node.minerpools.com
addnode=ghc.coin-miners.info
addnode=ghc.longwall.io
addnode=ghc.suprnova.cc

and our wallet syncing very slow. In 2 hours it syncs only to "blocks":1506...




instead of those try this
connect=99.236.215.227

my wallet is synced properly. and you will connect to my wallet ONLY until the chain is downloaded.

This is bad idea to have only one node. Almost any other wallet works good and syncs with hard coded nodes. I hope dev can resolve this issue.
trying
addnode= 37.59.18.108
addnode = 99.236.215.227
addnode = 198.27.125.17
addnode = 74.132.39.202
addnode = 107.167.181.29
addnode = 108.59.82.48
addnode = 146.148.60.58
addnode = 130.211.59.47
addnode = 108.61.10.90
addnode = 192.99.21.103
addnode = 70.180.113.106
rpcport= 12326


I played with nodes for 5+ hours. Looks like Linux x64 daemon has this forking problem. We will wait for dev's fix.

Hey, C-Cex.  Everyone knows the sort of shady dealings which go down behind the scenes on your exchange. Coming Soon, Renascence Exchange--An exchange for the community, by the community. Get on our level.

Where are you guys from? Do you have a phone number?

The teams' bios will be coming soon, as well as a FAQ section.

no offense, but mintpal will never become anything no more.
it has lost its credibility, everybody wants his btc out and never return there no more, its imho useless to put effort and money into this.

furthermore, why dont u start your own exchange without an ipo? there is nothing special about mintpal..and they have managed to ruin their name within 4 weeks.
you can get a new name, new management, no debts (if there are any)

Our team has resources necessary to purchase Mintpal.com with our own funds.  We are running this as a profit-sharing IPO so that relaunch can truly be a community effort, and so that we have ample funds to restore Mintpal.com to a profitable state as soon as possible.

you wouldn't need extra funds to restore anything if you just start your own exchange..


all in all it doesnt sound good or attractive to me at all.

good luck though, especially to people pouring their money in.

Perhaps we could have been more clear in our ANN, but we ARE starting a new exchange--Renascence Exchange. It will simply be built upon the Mintpal V1 platform, because frankly, we can bring it up to speed for a lot less expense (and time) than we could by creating our own from scratch.

There are two reasons for running this as an IPO:
1) The extra funds will allow us to get everything up and running sooner, by providing the means to hire extra full-time and part-time staff to expedite the process. 
2) We really do want this to be a community project, and we think that offering profit shares is the best way to get the community involved.

So you want people here to send you 200 BTC without any escrow?

Our team discussed escrow possibilities at length in our preliminary planning meetings, as we anticipated that many potential investors would see the lack of escrow as a concern.  First, let me point out that RNC will be available for purchase on the exchange shortly after launch, so latecomers will still be able to participate in the profit shares program (assuming initial investors take the opportunity to lock in some profit and sell a portion of their IPO coins).

Regarding escrow, it is of paramount importance to the Renascence team that we remain responsible for our funding, our exchange, and our reputation. Too many bad actors in crypto are making shady deals, and then blaming their mistakes upon situations and events which were "outside their control." The reason for us not using escrow, is that we want to remain in control of the investor funds at all times, since ultimately, we are the ones responsible (and answerable to the community) for their proper use and allocation.

If you have reservations about investing in the early stage of the IPO, then be assured that there are no hard feelings--you are always welcome to buy RNC off the exchange after the launch, or just watch from a distance if that's your style.

Thank you for your question though, and for your interest in this project. Welcome to Renascence Smiley


This response actually makes more sense than I want it to.

If the community would rather, we could use a trusted escrow service such as Moolah.  .....Oh wait!  Nevermind, I think we'll remain responsible for these funds ourselves, and not trust third party escrow services with our investors' money.

I kind of have a feeling this coin is gonna be the next thing  Roll Eyes

We've only been launched for half a day, and already almost 10% of the stage 1 IPO are sold. It looks like you're not the only one who thinks that!

Seems like a scam.

Everything seems like a scam to someone who has been scammed. And rightly so, as I would wager that most of us here were scammed by Moolah/Mintpal during this last fiasco.

While there are good exchanges currently available for people to use, ever since Mintpal V1 fell from grace, there has not been a solid exchange whose sole focus is on good, established, and legitimate coin projects. This is the role Renascence is going to adopt. A cryptocurrency exchange built by the community, for the community.

Robot sex nickels already claimed the RSN ticker.

I'm not sure how we missed that, since Robot Sex Nickels is such a prominent coin in its own right. However, coin tickers can be easily changed in the pre-launch period, and we have changed Renascence's ticker to RNC to reflect this.

Thank you!

Welcome to Renascence (RNC)

Following a long period of uncertainty, stalling, and outright deceit, Mintpal.com has finally shutdown. A visit to Mintpal.com reveals a short statement which does nothing to allay the fears and worries of traders who still had funds hosted on the exchange, and it is beginning to look as if we will never see our balances again.

Mintpal.com was once considered by many to be the best alt-coin exchange on the market, however throughout the past several months we have watched it steadily decline into a pit of complete obscurity and irrelevance.

In the midst of this despair, Renascence is born

The goal of Renascence is to purchase Mintpal.com from the current owners, and relaunch it under the V1 platform, with a new name—Renascence Exchange. Frankly there was not much wrong with the original platform in the first place, and it only needs a few visual and security updates before it once again matches the industry standard. Another step in restoring Mintpal.com to prominence is cutting back the current coin listing until only the best and most established coins are represented. While we think there is a place in the market for new coin launches, our exchange will not be that place. We will of course allow a probation period of two weeks after the relaunch, to allow people to access and remove their coin balances.

Renascence, the coin.

Renascence (RNC) is a profit sharing coin which allows members of the cryptocurrency community to invest directly in the relaunch of Mintpal.com--to clarify, the original platform will be relaunched under the new name, Renascence Exchange. Purchasers of the IPO will be allotted profit-sharing percentages based upon the percentage of the IPO their RNC holdings represent. This IPO provides our team with the additional funds necessary to both purchase the website and relaunch it in a swift and secure manner.

Specifications:
Name: Renascence
Ticker: RNC
IPO Supply: 2,725,000 (2.725MM)
Total Supply: 8,000,000 (8MM)
Blocktime: 5 Minutes
Annual Interest: 3%
Maturity: 250 Blocks
IPO size: 200 BTC


The total Renascence supply will represent 50% of the profits from our Mintpal.com relaunch, and this percentage will degrade by 5% every year, until it hits a floor at 25% where it will stay for perpetuity. This declining slope is meant to balance the increase in revenue which Renascence Exchange will experience as the platform once again regains its prominence in the industry. This slope is designed to allow for investors’ profit shares to remain profitable, while allowing our team the funds necessary to continually update and maintain the exchange. The POS implementation offsets this downward slope, as it allows loyal investors to increase their investment percentage through the staking of their Renascence Coins.

Investment Details:

The IPO will work in three stages:

Stage         Investment Cap   Price Level        RNC Supply      RNC per 1% share    1% share price
1st stage   0 – 30 BTC              5000 satoshis       600,000      54,5000 RNC             2.725 BTC
2nd stage    30 – 100 BTC      7000 satoshis         1,000,000      54,5000 RNC             3.815 BTC
3rd stage   100 – 200 BTC      8000 satoshis       1,125,000      54,5000 RNC             4.360 BTC


To invest in the IPO, send your investment BTC to the addresses listed below, and save the BTC address which you used to send the BTC. Once the IPO closes, this BTC address will be used to tie you to your RNC address, where you can collect your IPO coins. You Must Save This Address!

Send your investment funds to the following address:   13QgmXyS8CNeoJPwHufFiuD1PYoA6cx1LB

This IPO will run until October 30th, as November 1st is the deadline given to us by the current owners of Mintpal to submit our bid for the platform. Upon the closing of the IPO, all unsold RNC will be destroyed, however, the number of RNC needed per profit share (54,500) WILL NOT change based upon unsold shares.

Wallets, block explorers, translations, and the code itself, will all be released upon the completion of the IPO.

There are two things about which investors need to be assured:

1. Our team has resources necessary to purchase Mintpal.com with our own funds.  We are running this as a profit-sharing IPO so that relaunch can truly be a community effort, and so that we have ample funds to restore Mintpal.com to a profitable state as soon as possible.
2. In the event that we do not win the bid for Mintpal.com (this is an unlikely scenario, based upon the starting bid given us), all investor BTC funds will be returned to their owners, and RSN will not launch. This is another reason that it is imperative to save your sending BTC address.

Future Developments before October 30th:
•   A FAQ based upon questions which arise in this thread.
•   Renascence team member biographies, detailing or backgrounds and proficiencies.
•   Roadmap containing dates and timelines for the relaunch of the exchange.
•   Budgetary breakdown of where the IPO money will be spent.
•   List of coins to be kept on the relaunched exchange.
•   Details on investor rights, and the role they have in choosing new coins for the exchange
•   JOB OPPORTUNITIES!   
          o Programmers, web developers, graphic designer, social media manager, SEO specialist, and content creators. Please send your resumes and any relevant portfolios to RenascenceExchange@gmail.com

Our goal is for Renascence Exchange to be the pinnacle cryptocurrency exchange available on the marketplace, and for it to truly be a community exchange. Invest today, and secure the future of cryptocurrency trading!
