Thanks for the update Rofo! I think this is good news because as the crypto-currency markets change and evolve over time we have to be willing to move with it. It's not comfortable thinking about having more than 1 coin or having POS coins or new algorithms here and there, but the fact is that we have to stay current (without changing weekly) and on the cutting edge of technology as well as what the majority of people and shareholders want. I think Noble's future gets longer and brighter every day!

Announcing a beta feature for the Noblecoin Blockchain Explorer This is currently a NobleCoin exclusive!When you go to the page of an address, f.i. one of the Noble Reserve wallets, you now have a "Watch this address" link, where you can register an email address.The next time coins arefrom that address, you'll get a notification email.The idea is to facilitate keeping an eye on public fund addresses, as well as your own addresses, which shouldn't be spent without your knowing of it (cold storage, etc.).And if you like the explorer, tips welcome at NOBL 9eyDvQ53wLXruwSQDJegJATbUWddhvQTvL and/or BTC 17nsaHHBq6FhwVZ7htTedUPk5CyaRDXdwt to help cover the hosting costs!

It keeps track of everything, but funds in a wallet are going to be spread across multiple "change" addresses, and exact amounts in an exchange are known only to the exchange database (however it can help to keep track of how large/rich exchanges get)

Yea thats good stuff, can't really expect it to know what your wallet address is in a Xchange data base, I like being able to see what sort of reserves others have, while still being for the most part pseudonymous, I would like to know who the 61 million coin winner is though ... hehehe

I have a quick thought regarding giveaways to help mitigate the whole quick dump issue (this could also be applied to the linked coins that are given based on the amount of NOBL someone holds); and it kinda aligns with the ideas already hashed out. You could approach the distribution of coins as an increasing annuity (and possibly link the rate of increase to the amount of supply you want out versus the amount of mintage). Although, Im not sure how the staking and claiming implementation would work out in this case. If you would like more clarification on the math on how this would work, please let me know.

I'm one of those people who love giveaways, as being originally a guppy-sized trader (started with $38 btc), the giveaways gave me a stake... which now means I have grown into, umm... I guess a regular fish sized trader (15-20 btc)?But I never view giveaways as something purely to dump, even from the beginning. If the devs support the coin and I think it has a future, I'd hold or more likely sell, and buy back in later. Yet very few (not sure any) of the current giveaway coins seem to have active devs nor anything especially unique about their coins. Unfortunately many can't even wait at all with giveaways, and it's like... gimme coins... sell coins... in one motion. I'm also biased towards POS, as I don't mine, but yeah, POW does give a cost/value to a coin. It always felt like an artificial value to me though. I remember that Air coin pricing itself based on miner rewards, and I always wondered who cares if a coin makes itself difficult to mine... that shouldn't really mean the coin itself it worth more than it should. However, many people may not think that same way (and especially not miners).An idea I thought could work for Noble was a form of POS, but not in coins, but in marketplace discounts, which is more or less what you just suggested. I think I even mentioned the idea upon the noble forum once upon a time. Such as hold a coin for a month, you get an extra 1% discount tacked onto your account... another month, another 1%, and so on. Cap it at a certain amount, just so people actually buy something eventually. Yet I guess there is only so much of a discount you can offer before you'd go broke.

I agree. People love giveaways and it helps make a coin popular in the beginning, but that's only to dump and make an easy buck, doesn't help long term. Why I've always been a fan of PoW over PoS is it gives some cost/value to the coin you've got. Staggered marketplace deals have been one idea (of many) we are considering, for example the longer you hold, the higher the marketplace deal for that coin goes in a predetermined pattern before it returns to a more stable and sustainable level. Obviously this would promote a bubble, but it would also encourage speculation, holding, volume and more people buying to get into the deals. If the value then drops on people selling for deals, counterbalances are in place for the deal to begin the cycle again and promote a new round of buying, volume and speculation. People will hold for that next round or sell depending on their outlook. Of course this is in some ways considered manipulation, but if it's open and transparent marketplace deals then it's no different to any shop encouraging purchasing through promotion. We are also planning a long-term 'investment' coin that has a fixed minimum rate of purchase on the marketplace. This however will require more work, trust and capital to start with.

Just placed my first order on Crypto-paid etched glass. It has been a great service so far, had to have a little chat with the owner because he has to send glass all the way from the USA to Europe.He is going to make me some custom Noble coasters, as well as a Bitcoin mirror and coasters. I will update with some pictures as soon as it arrives. At the moment they carry pint glasses, beer mugs, shot glasses, wine glasses, champagne flutes, picture frames and mirrors. They keep adding new glass items regularly and even offer the option to make some custom-blown glassware.They recently started to accept Noblecoin as well via CoinPayments.You can find their shop at Pixskull.com

"Token expired" is a safety measurement from the MPOS software. You can only have the page open for X seconds if you want to do sensitive things like login or change account details. Did you try contacting the pool admin to solve this yet?Poolerino has been an awesome and stable pool for months.
