I thought now might be a good time to show some more services in the works for NobleCoin in the coming month while we wait for the Gold/Silver to be finalised on our end for the marketplace.
Noble Steps (Crypto Kickstarter) – Coming April/MayWhat is this aspect of the Noble Movement?Think of it as a gateway where all NOBL charities and initiatives can share information and accept donations directly with 0% listing and transfer fees.
What is a Noble Step?A step is simply a campaign that an individual, charity or organization can create and manage to raise funds. Steps are managed and displayed on our website and work very similar to Kickstarter campaigns. They can be started by anyone, and once checked off and approved, appear on the website for everyone to get involved. Some steps are linked to a particular charity that accepts NOBL and are ongoing. Some only last to a set date and a goal similar to a Kickstarter campaign.
Do you hold on to the donations?No - that's a burden we don't want to bear, it also makes us a target for the regular finger-pointing. All donation addresses listed belong to the respective charity or initiative. Donations are made
directly to them. There is an exception or two where we manage wallets for certain charities and send them the amount at set periods, but that will be made
very clear next to the donation address.
What’s to stop charities dumping to fiat, reducing the value of my NOBL?Nothing. But think of it this way: cryptocurrency allows us to make donations and transfer money instantly at near zero cost. There are other fundraising platforms out there that take anywhere between 2% and 9% of donations as fees. So this is what we do: share cryptocurrencies and NOBL with your friends and families. Tell them what they mean when it comes to reducing the role of ‘middle-men’ and reducing transfer and administration fees to near zero. Inform people; make them want to buy and use NOBL (or any cryptocurrency for that matter) because of the inherent strengths of the technology. Start your own fundraiser and ask people you know to donate in NOBL. Help make NOBL more than merely a speculative cryptocurrency used only for BTC exchange. Work for it, increase usage and demand; the increase in value naturally follows.
We have become a well-known cryptocurrency because of our charitable initiatives as well as our marketplace, let's keep the two growing together.

My Noble Act - Coming April?What is My Noble Act?My Noble Act is a website developed by our community member a3tje_ which promotes and encourages the sharing and doing of good deeds. It will work alongside The Movement & Steps and encourage people of all ages to publish and share something good that they are proud of achieving. Not purely restricted to NOBL or cryptocurrency, a3tje_ hopes it inspires others to do their good deed for the day.
A3tje_ has been very busy working on this site in the background, and it’s on us a little to help flesh it out with some ideas and acts!
