Diff 4, amazing
So glad I got my share between 1-2
EDIT: You might want to consider lowering the block mining rewards now that we hit an exchange. At current rates every 100th block is worth almost 0.01 BTC and every 1000th block 0.1 BTC. Seems a bit over the top.
Just cannot do that.
I think for this coin to be taken seriously, the devs need to spend some of there reserves. Currently they still hold way to large a percentage compared to the amount of coins in the wild.
For this reason, I see no reason not to hand out exceptionally large prizes! It distributes the wealth, decreases the percentage the devs hold in reserves, and builds up the trust and interest of the community!
I guess Rofo will be the best one to answer that but here goes, my take on what you said.
I think that the giveaways have been really generous so far, I don't know exactly the figure (last update : Giveaways: 7,795,500 (1165 individual giveaways)), but it's really high as far as I'm concerned.
There were up to 5000 NOBLE per person on one unique giveaway which equals, at the current rate, 0.0042 BTC! And some people got multiple giveaways gifts (I know one who got 13000 NOBLE overall which are currently traded for 0.01 BTC!!)
Plus the HUGE miners rewards (600,000 NOBLEs so far, some very lucky miners got up to 300,00 NOBLEs).
As far as I'm concerned, I'd rather see the giveaways and promotions be lowered to even things out for every one now that we're on an exchange.
I think we have to remember that the reserve is gonna be the key to the redistribution to the charities, at least at start. (

So don't worry about it, reserves have been spent quite generously so far, and will be spent for a much more rewarding purpose later on.
That's my take on the topic, don't think for any second that it's Rofo's one, we'll see what he thinks about it.
