I’d just like to make a few things clear while attempting not to sound too arrogant or like a control freak.
First: Thank you for the support and interest shown so far! 
1. This is a beta. We guarantee returns if a purchase doesn’t work, is delayed and hasn’t been shipped if you get in touch with us. What you need to be aware of though is that when you’re making an order you’re essentially ‘cashing’ out your coins. A digital item might take a couple of hours (at least for the first few days as we manually check off orders) and a physical item might take a few days or a week or more to reach you. The value of the coins you spent will change in that time – they might go up meaning you’re worse off, they might go down meaning you’re better off.
Please be aware of this possibility when you place an order.2. Stock will be limited, but will grow progressively in the month ahead as we figure out demand and popularity of the marketplace and certain items.
The 10% discount will remain for at minimum a month and may be extended for up to three. You won’t miss out on these deals and we don’t want you to. I apologise in advance if things sell out or become unavailable for days at a time. Remember, we’re dealing with a few external merchants here who are testing the waters with demand and prices – and many are taking a risk in terms of price fluctuations but generally support NobleCoin so are happy to hold either way.
3. We will have downtime – there will be times when we disable the marketplace to install, configure and test new functionality (see our short roadmap). All orders will be processed before and/or during this downtime and you will be warned in advance of any downtime and the reasons for it.
4. We may get targeted or overloaded – we’ve been hit a number of times with massive traffic and DDOS attacks. There has also been a fair amount of interest in terms of hits and traffic in the background. We are moving to a Xeon E3-1270v3 dedicated server with impressive specs but won’t hesitate to upgrade if necessary.
Please be patient if we get hiccups but we will keep people informed. If we go down for maintenance and you've decided you want to cancel an order (for whatever reasons - to hold or sell) that hasn't been shipped yet PM me.
5. I think many of you guys know how we work (or are trying to) by now: we will give constant updates when we can, answer questions and address concerns as best we can. We work meticulously and we don’t like making huge statements or rushing ahead only to find that we’re missing a solid foundation and can’t deliver. We're seeing that everywhere these days, but that's
not what we want to be. This might not be a big ‘bang’ to some people on day one – but it’s a damn good start for a month old coin and I invite you to imagine what we as a community might be in another month.
6. We will be activating the store first but disabling orders to let people check it out for those who want to see it’s ‘there’ but don’t want to spend NOBL yet. It’s standard, it’s clean and simple – but the value is in the promotion, the deals and the functionality behind it. During the first day, we will first enable CoinPayments and the smaller value digital products (hello Amazon & Steam), followed by the larger value digital items and ultimately the physical products once we iron out some shipping details with the merchants.
7. Again I stress, if you’re super keen to order something (specifically the Amazon cards or Steam Wallets) and we’re sold out – send me a PM and we’ll sort something out. We’re going slow and testing the system, but the
last thing I want is someone who has supported us and is excited for the marketplace to genuinely feel like they’ve been let down or missed out. I point out again though the Amazon Gift Cards & Steam Codes (being the items that have attracted the most attention) will be focused on in terms of new stock, and the 10% sales promo will last at least a month.
Thanks
Expect it today!
