We will most probably not go over $5000 in sales a day else we will pause it. I will update daily the total sales and how easily in general we can handle it on a scale of 1-10. There will have to be some limitations in place, but it won't be the last time we do this if we have to to draw attention to what NOBL offers.
On the marketplace is every single Amazon card available from every regional website, so pretty much worldwide. It's capped at about $2000 in total supply right now. Every day we will refine this, keep it transparent, up the stock and promote accordingly as well as talk about how much we can continue to handle.
We just need to do something to stop stagnating and push the idea forward that there is more to cryptocurrency than innovation, there is also commerce.

I just checked and see some cards are already low stock. So I expect it'd be a bad idea for me to post general info on it, where I planned. They can hammer big sites, or kill them completely (they've overloaded HP, microsoft, etc) during Black Friday deals. |

I'll go through the stocks and up accordingly shortly. Every single day we'll give a rundown on orders, stock reserves, how much pressure we feel etc. and if we expect to begin to reduce by 1% from that point onwards. This will be to cover our ass as well as prevent any kind of rush to the exit. It also won't be the first time we do this, we want it to be the first of many, it just needs to be tested and refined.

Sounds great (from a consumer standpoint, anyway). But my question is, if you increase the discount by 1% daily, and expect you can get up to 30%, why will anyone purchase anything until it gets close to 30%, or more? Unless you think popular items will sell out eventually. |

People are going to be toying with the prices either way. This will reflect how big that 30% deal is in the end depending on when you bought and the exchange rate at that time. The higher we go, the more info. we will also give on how much $$ we can handle in orders before it can no longer be met and we begin going back to 29%, 28% etc etc.
If people who bought now want to hold out at 30% that's fine, they've been well rewarded. If we reach a point before that 30% though (which will we do our best to make obvious in terms of info. given) the deal might only reach 25%. It all depends on how much pressure is put on us, which is why we'll keep the info as open as possible, as well as continue the ascent in the future once we've figured out the type of attention this brings.
Edit: To add in all honesty I was expecting 12% to be more than enough to attract people buying and selling. It hasn't left a dint (less than $200 a week now), so we're going to push it as high as it takes to get the attention we initially wanted.
So for example each day the info. we give will be along these lines and more detailed if necessary.
20% discount, up to $3000 orders a day can be handled (down 10% from previous day), only had $1200 yesterday, 21% tomorrow likely(7 on a scale of 10). Vol: Price: % change:.

Well, if you get to 25%+ and need more people, I may be able to find some. But it may be enough to crash the site (or at least enough to grab all of your amazon cards) which probably isn't exactly what you are hoping for. I'll certainly save up for some amazon gcs if they reach at least 25% off. The question is when is the best time to pick up Noble... I guess now may be as good as time as any... even if noble sinks a bit in the short term, if btc rises up and noble holds it ground, it'll sort of even out. I assume coinpayments simply converts noble to btc at the time of purchase? I never used them before. |

Site should be OK unless we're talking 10s of thousands, it's on hefty dedicated hardware in the US. Right now it's definitely something to let your friends know (and entice them to get involved in the potential of crypto. and NOBL while they're at it). CoinPayments takes NOBL at the current fiat/BTC conversion rate and sends it to us which we immediately place for sale at a higher rate. With all the info. and stats posted we'll be better prepared for next time, and it will allow us to keep drawing interest towards NOBL.
Because this is considered a promo. on our part the losses are taken in stride, and we post the amount we can handle daily to ensure people can't hold out to do a $50,000 order and make bank that we can't cover. It will be up to individuals to determine what discount they're happy with or where/when they think we will reach a point we have to reduce the discount.

The sites I am referring to have slowed down microsoft, and crashed entire sites, so yeah, lots of people. Now, that is only for more popular deals, such as black friday sales and such. Since this involves crypto and isn't the same as simply using cash to buy something, I expect the numbers to be much less. So it may be safe. But I expect I could annoy a lot of people if you sold out of gcs too quickly. We'll see how you do. |

We won't really sell out. We grab them direct from Amazon when they are bought and email them out from Amazon. The only question is how much $$ in orders we can handle per day before we feel like the promo. is being milked too dry too fast (damaging the reserves). But yeah, might be best not to get too many people involved until we've had 1 round to test the 'system'.  I hope just the deals enough should sooner or later draw enough attention from the immediate crypto community before we think about taking it outside. |

Btw, just a crazy thought, did anyone already consider special access features when he/she is a proven holder of a certain amount. this can off course be tied to discounts or anything you can think of. The only labor one will have to do is to show that he/she is a holder and the programming should check whether the value on that address remains at least a certain threshold.
So for example
- Site showing certain info:
- Site has special features which are locked for general public.
- Once a new member signs up, the new memeber needs to put in his address
- The site checks the value (which needs to be 10.000 Noble for example).
- Then the user is requested to make 1 request and 1 addition to the address.
- The site follows the transactions and grants access to the special features as long as the balance does not go below a certain threshold.
I am just curious why this has not been done before. And also because there is talk of giving special discounts and stuff, so why not add an extra percentage if you are an identified holder for an X period.
But maybe it is just a bad idea, I don't know. (if not, I guess it will be copied very quickly:)

Hmm does sound like a good idea, so people won't misuse the extra discount by "buying coins at the exchange" and directly "dumping" them at the Marketplace. They need to hold on to an amount of coins in order to get the extra discount. My first question however would be, how to check this or how to find out? Maybe adjust it a bit, so they do not get a "discount" but get coins back as an "investment" into NobleCoin. So they will receive the 12% discount directly and the "extra" discount is only given back to you a day after you made the purchase. That would make it more "difficult" for people to buy/dump and seems more easy to implement. |
