That's sensible advice. Basically encrypted wallet makes -salvagewallet method to fail and wallet's owner has to proceed with more manual methods.

Transition was tested twice already and things went well so we should make the real switch without much pain too. Then if everything works fine we will not need to do major changes like the change we are doing now.

So I can probably work on some updates if they are needed and if Rofo is interested in cooperation after the switch. However I have also other projects to work on and I will not be able to devote as much time as now to Noble. One has to earn a living you know

Give as much as you feel

What we have should be a plenty to kick off the fundraising.

Any ideas on how much to pay out per action?

Bullying, and bad mouthing? Grow up.
All Rofo has to do is respect the fact that some people want to see some evidence of actually producing something with the funds he was given. Is it really too much to ask? And what does he do?.....hide behind you bunch of fan-boys.

I don't see the community division here. It seems to be just me doing the arse-kicking. If that really is the reality, and i am very much in the minority, you peeps really shouldn't have much to worry about. Just stop replying to me, and carry on convincing yourself you have something of value here. I just dont see it, and/but im open to being shown i am wrong.

Again folks, this is the standard wannabe IPO/ICO fund raisers should be working to, in 2015. Anything less is an investment in hope and charity........ https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=177323;sa=showPosts

He would have been sacked by now, and his 'budget' taken back off him by now, if i was.
When did you become his spokesperson?

Yep, i get that. But the other necessary element, is how their progress is measured.
Lets imagine the manager sits down with the employee who has been given a fairly large budget for his 'project', several weeks ago, for the weekly briefing....

Manager    : "So employee, can you bring us up to speed on what you have carried out, what's been achieved over the last week, and what the plan is for the coming week?"
Employee  : "Cant show you what ive actually done, and dont feel i need to show you any evidence, cos i dont work like that. Just trust me. We will get there in the end. Next week? I will be talking to a few people.....probably. Depends if i feel up to it or not. Updates? Geez, Mr Manager, you ask too many questions man. Anyway, must be going. Maybe see you next week....or not."

Arrogance like that, would get you sacked, and Im not the only one asking for much more communication, Rofo. You want a good example of what is necessary here??.....

I'll go first:
1. Magi Coin PoS. I think we need to pull something slightly less normal out of the bag in order for Noble to achieve more support and growth
2. I don't really know enough about this to make a decision, in my eyes the lower values are better but would like to see what other people think.
3. 10% minimum, I would like 12%
4. If you want me to help test drop me a PM and I will see what I can set up. I think I speak for the community when I say thanks for all your effort myeagleflies

I assume the following discussion is based on the community will go with PoS-II.

@eagleflies, I replied to your PM. Also I am posting the same things I am thinking in order to proceed (correct me if these subjects were already covered)

#1 The first thing to decide might be working with which coin source; it could be more compatible by adding PoS into NOBL original code (but will take time); and in contrast it would be easy and quick by work withing magi's code and change it for NOBL.

#2 PoS-II design, like maximum allowed stake days (depending on amount of coins) etc (these mentioned in the magi post); this part somehow needs to figure carefully

(guess you guys already discussed, sorry if I missed the point) is NOBL going to be a pure PoS or PoW/PoS hybrid? will PoS be plugged in by a hard fork?

In a quick way, we can adapt magi code to NOBL and put it on the testnet to test the compatibility and stability. In any case, #2 will need a bit figure with math (determine coin age parameters); if no one else can do it, I can get it done but I'll need some time to work on it.

Let's gather PoS related ideas which were proposed so far:

1. [voephilis] Use PoS parameters which were considered in Oct. Interest rate starts at 100% then is being lowered several times until it reaches 1%.  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=402667.msg9096942#msg9096942
2. [Boreiv, kresuk] Use same PoS parameters which Rofo considered recently with interest rate 5-10%
3. [fairglu] Switch to PoS without using an exchange.
4. [kresuk] Use swap rate of 5:1 or 10:1 e.g. for 5/10 current coins people get 1 new "pos" coin. 
5. [voephilisI] Joe, the dev of Coin Magi is willing to help. His message: "I can experiment the hybrid PoW/PoS like XMG, but it's also fine with the pure PoS; I strongly recommend XMG's PoS-II, it's more safe compared to the implementation of PoS 2.0 by blackcoin and much more network activities triggered by PoS-II comparing with the PoSV of REDD as it advertised. Feel free to let me know what I can do."

Here's my $.02 on each:
[1] Looks good to me. We are already close to 2 billions coins so the 100% interest rate would be working just at the very beginning. This could work by attracting people to stake just after the switch and at least some of them will continue to do so even with lower interest rate. Also bear in mind that interest rate is not the only PoS parameter available. We could also cap max reward per block.
[2] I think 5% is too low. 10% is OK. The problem may be to find people interested in keeping their wallets open all the time which is important since this is how the network is secured in PoS.
[3] This is interesting because we can do the switch without relying on external parties. Also decide freely what swap rate to choose and so on. However if we follow this route there will be two noblecoins in existence. So in fact we will still need to talk with exchanges either to de-list the old noblecoin or ask them to add new noblecoin-pos.
[4] The idea of having less coins is to push the price higher hoping that with swap rate 10:1 price also goes 10 times higher e.g. to 70 SAT now. However there is risk people who are not actively looking at Noble will treat increase in price as pump and in the end price may end up lower than 10 times higher. So in the end market cap of Noble may go down.
[5] This is most revolutionary idea. Switch to new version of PoS potentially avoiding some pitfalls related to the well known PoS which is used by many coins. This sounds good. However by choosing this path we change drastically Noblecoin's image. What I mean by this is Rofo chose 'stable yet boring route' and this attracted all of us here. This is what usually people in traditional finance like. To have something you can rely on even if it produces lower returns. I am not sure if making such a bold move would be good long term. There is much higher risk that hard fork will be needed if serious issues are found in the new PoS code. Short term it should be good as it is always easier to advertise bold moves in crypto world.

Please share your thoughts. At this point I do not like [4] but would like to further discuss remaining points.

Noble is love. Noble is life.

99.9% of the alts out there are not and will never be a BOB coin so I guess that makes ShitCoin and NUGGETS a Super Strong Buy.  haha!
