Just sent a donation - come on people, we have only given a tiny donation so far, surely we can manage to give a lot more than 10,000 Noble for such a worthy project? How about I make a donation from the community fund? Still around 400k left That sounds like a good idea to me. Just sent some

As a long time supporter, investor and miner of Noble I'd just like to say that the developers and community are still doing an excellent job. Even after months of $hitcoins, pumpndump coins and 'flavour of the month' coins coming and going, Rofo and the Noble team have stayed true to the vision. They know what is required to turn a revolutionary technology into something the world needs. Noble may just be a currency right now, but it has the potential to be an international brand (dream big)!
The current low price of Noble is unsettling. So if you are scared, now is the time to buy. No other new coin that I can find has the long term potential of Noble.
I mine Noble 24/7 and will be adding another 11 m hash Gridseed Asic to the pool soon, so for me, making Noble asic resistant is not the answer. Asics are inevitable and necessary! They run cheaply (saving massive amounts of power) and are far more efficient than GPUs will ever be. There will be an influx of coins when the asic arms race begins, but that is only a problem if miners are stupid enough to sell for crazy cheap prices and supply exceeds demand. I mine to hold and support the infrastructure.

Every time I hear Hueristic wanting us to fork X11 or reduce supply I cringe, because while we may not agree with his position, it's something he genuinely wants and I can't offer it right now. Same thing when I think of the possibilities of using our original 'Noble savings' in a PoS system that many people want, especially in this environment when they're a hot spec. I'm frustrated because while it may not be the path we want to take, it's something that has a lot of potential and is very valuable....
I admire this coin and it's vision greatly and just want it to succeed and weather the scene as best it can. I have no serious investment in it other than time unlike many others. I would like to see a ASIC resistant algo (any really, not necessarily X-11) only for the coins protection. Creating cheap coins hurts those that are already in existence. We disagree on this but I bow to your leadership as your commitment is beyond reproach. But I will still speak up when I think I can help as I feel vested in this coins success for some weird reason. I think I should not have mentioned where I thought the price should be currently and did not expect the drop to come so rapid but It will bounce back pretty quickly I think. Please correct me if I am wrong, but seeing as the diff would retarget, the ASIC miners shouldn't get too massive an amount of coins should they? I guess they will get more than normal until other miners get ASICs then it will even out. For me the diff is too high now to mine anyway. I like the fact that there are no changes in algos or structure, it shows that the coin is strong and well thought out and gives people faith that their investments in the coin are secure.

Call for ideas for the remaining community fund
At this moment the community fund holds exactly 395311.73 noble. Does anybody have a good idea on how to spend this?
We have nice videos and wallet designs now. Maybe some infographics?

It'll prevent the multipools from abusing the difficulty for quick, spammy easy coins like the other anti-multipool coins do, but it won't prevent them from sitting on the coin despite the high difficulty and mining away. That should only happen if we're the most profitable coin after the difficulty quickly swings up (like it would happen to any other coin), or a multipool thinks that dumping lots of coins at a loss to try and 'kill' NOBL will have any effect (cough).

Wallet 1 has a fixed new address on the public ledger. You'll see the 25million that should have been showing are there. Fixing #4 now (or soonish*, don't like making it obvious when large amounts will move).

Fixing #4 now (or soonish*, don't like making it obvious when large amounts will move). Maybe it is also a good time to update the reserve and total available coin balances? Anyway to automate this? (atleast for the mined part, should be able to import this from one of the block explorers?)

Just bringing some attention to the rich list http://chainz.cryptoid.info/nobl/#!richAs you can see exchange wallets dominate the rich list spots, the #1 rich looks a lot like PoloniEx cold wallet, and that's a similar case for many of the top unattributed wallets. And keep in mind the guesstimation can only underestimate the actual amounts... If PoloniEx or MintPal were to go under, be it because of hacking or plain old losing of backups and private keys, Noblecoin would be majorly Goxxed. Don't just spread your hashes people, don't forget to spread your coins as well, especially you, major holders!

As a long time supporter, investor and miner of Noble I'd just like to say that the developers and community are still doing an excellent job. Even after months of $hitcoins, pumpndump coins and 'flavour of the month' coins coming and going, Rofo and the Noble team have stayed true to the vision. They know what is required to turn a revolutionary technology into something the world needs. Noble may just be a currency right now, but it has the potential to be an international brand (dream big)!
The current low price of Noble is unsettling. So if you are scared, now is the time to buy. No other new coin that I can find has the long term potential of Noble.
I mine Noble 24/7 and will be adding another 11 m hash Gridseed Asic to the pool soon, so for me, making Noble asic resistant is not the answer. Asics are inevitable and necessary! They run cheaply (saving massive amounts of power) and are far more efficient than GPUs will ever be. There will be an influx of coins when the asic arms race begins, but that is only a problem if miners are stupid enough to sell for crazy cheap prices and supply exceeds demand. I mine to hold and support the infrastructure.
While I agree Noble is a great coin I'm not sure about the future of any scrypt coin when it comes to ASICs. ASICs only benefit the ASIC seller, the hardware makers in China. They presell and wont ship until its absolutely not profitable. Before that they just use it themselves to mine with it, using the hardware you PRE-PAID for. This is a known fact. Thats why all ASICs are "always LATE for shipping and months behind" because they are using the hardware and waiting for difficulty to skyrocket before they ship them to the poor buyer. Gridseed seems to be the only exception ATM.The buyer spends $4000 on a piece of hardware that just makes it harder for him and anyone else to mine. Exactly what happened to BTC. Buying a $4000 BTC miner makes you $12/day at current prices, that's BS. With the best scrypt price (LTC) at around 2% of the price of BTC how long will it take to pay for that $4000 miner? ASICs do kill mining. GPU mining is never antiquated because its Windows based and possibilities are limitless. There will be constant new algorithms and ways to make new coins. JMHO

JMHO GPU miners are selling just as hard as asic miners. Miners are for network security and distribution (through selling) of coins. In general (there are always exceptions), miners are not "holders" of value. GPU miners are against asics because they can make less money by selling their now fewer coins. EDIT: as reference: I do not own, nor plan to own an asic and I stopped GPU mining.
