In light of Moolah and increasing heat on those involved in the altcoin space & money (including myself) I am now releasing the following information for public record.A lot of this is already public record
since January (2014's first public and voluntary PoD?) but since this kind of 'transparency' is a new marketing tool and addresses to prove funds didn't move earlier in the year is not enough, I am releasing it all on another level. This will be my final 'money-related' release about funds and reserve addresses before being summarized for good on our website. It's done as always in good faith and the majority of expenses can be verified by 3rd parties. I'm done receiving scam and email alerts about the whole affair.
My real and only name is Jason Curby. My ABN (which predates crypto., reg. 2004. related to IT and web development) but is now tied to all reports for the marketplace expenditure and BTC>fiat reporting is 92 119 945 303 (
http://abr.business.gov.au/SearchByAbn.aspx?abn=92119945303). I have plenty of time to file a tax report related to all crypto-dealings especially since Australia has revised it a number of times. I retain all records of 'business-related-crypto' expenses.
I have a single Perth Mint Australia trading account linked and verified to my real name, which is to be used in the future for bullion trading once legalities/funding is finally resolved. My second-hand and dealers bullion licensing will all be tied and verified to my real name, this part has been the kicker with funding and legalities related to purely. bullion/crypto. backing,'pegging' and trades in Australia.
My total sell orders in BTC over 9 months is 53.5875 BTC, of a total value of $27,921.34. Meeting marketplace orders in that time done on our end in fiat totalled $14,403.93. These orders are recorded and backed up on our server and through 3rd party payment processor CoinPayments. There are a fair few orders met using BTC (as most now are also) with no fiat exchange done. To the best of my knowledge no orders were of a quantity (all <$1,500) or of a product requiring an ID check. I share no information related to customers or orders.
My largest fiat expenses were dedicated server hosting & backup (BudgetVM) - approx. $1,980, eCommerce & plugin licensing approx. $1,000, approx. $2,500 in non-CoinPayments marketplace orders or bonuses for delayed orders, and approx. $700 of Water Project donation was via fiat. during BTC and credit card fraud issues we had to resolve.
I did not receive nor ask for a tax deduction for any charity donations we made, as they were community oriented and will not benefit me in any way for any taxation.
These totals meet approx $20,083.93 in fiat, leaving $7,837.41 related to travel, expenses, profit from non-NOBL related altcoin trades (from a personal perspective I myself am not a highly active trader), hardware and general expenses. That $7,837.41 is the amount that can be contentious over 9 months as it is the only amount not verifiable by a 3rd party as related to running the marketplace or NOBL-related expenses and if you are so inclined to do so make your peace with it here.
Of the $300,000+ value of NOBL I made a strong point of not selling and distributing instead for NOBL projects, bounties, covering exchange/pool hacks and giveaways $27,921.34 became fiat and approx. $20,083.93 of that has direct paper trails for legitimate expenditure related to the marketplace.
If this ever needs to be legally verified I have a single BtradeAustralia account linked and verified to my real name and personal email. It is my only BTC>fiat>BTC channel. I have a single BTC address for
all personal and professional transactions (164Ka2nS9oLyEQKDzjQceHerCd92mvt8bQ). The total amount of BTC I currently own is 0.375. The total altcoins I hold is approx. 1.9BTC worth. Total NOBL is now at approx. 45mil.
I am not a NOBL market mover nor manipulator (revised since I have nothing against them, I simply am not one for 'my' own coin). You will see with these numbers I am not in the top people who made a good amount of money on NOBL this year. I hold a good amount of information regarding who holds what and you would be surprised, however I will generally respect privacy if things remain being done in good faith. Habit demands I do not share too much insider-info. in an unfair manner and for good reason. In fact I got a little too close a number of times to doing that this year. To many 'making' this amount of money on an altcoin and our premine and/or trading is funny and I wouldn't really blame them for laughing. For myself and NOBL these years are the 'testing years' and I'm happy to play the long game for better or for worse since the only money I really care about is for necessities and spoiling my partner when I can.
I am on no teams anonymously nor behind any other coins, ever, period, although the pay makes it more than worthwhile my general stance on how things should work has left me an outsider on all things 'inter-coin'. I'd be happy to work for others though if it improved my own and NOBL's prospects and didn't compromise me. I look forward to working closer with DMD however and I hope they accept this sort of disclosure for what it is, transparency in good faith.
For the record I also don't support or encourage regulation but I accept it's coming in no small part due to how we as a whole have acted. It would not bother me if this place remained the Wild West indefinitely (it's free and fun). The only thing that bothers me is keeping myself as clean and accountable to myself if no-one else. I am currently not nor do I have any desire to talk to or inform any authority any 'wrongdoings' of any actor unless I am legally obligated (of which there is no case where I am thus far).
The reason I am doing this is because the next project I am working on building upon NOBL for 2015 will require this type of information and more (info. about me, not about others). The altcoin community should have demanded this kind of transparency and accountability from the start. Professional & institutional investors demand it (although they generally don't appreciate my non-professional frankness), so I don't know how some of these coins think they're fooling anyone marketing how they are. The Moolah fiasco has fast-tracked what we've brought upon ourselves. While I have no desire or information to see anyone else 'scrutinized' and what they personally do with their finances is generally their own business I'm in a country fortunately progressively friendly to crypto. but that is also ensuring its citizens abide by certain rules.
The 'always doing wrong' approach/accusations leaves me releasing all of my crypto-financial info. because frankly I've just had enough. I am not the kind of actor bringing this scene down, I alongside others have spent a long time trying to warn and educate the community to move forward. The reason I refuse to appease certain actors like Moolah is because of how they act and their unprofessional 'vibes', it's not because I'm trying to control any coin. Leave me out of any accusations please and allow this post to act as an unofficial full disclosure.
edit: I am hoping for the best regarding the Moolah/Mintpal fiasco. If I am given any additional info. regarding NOBL on the exchange I will share it, but everything I know about the situation with Mintpal/NOBL has been shared already.
