So community POS takeover??? Sounds fun
NO, not at all, no one is taking over; me, just proividing some help here, that's about it. I believe NOBL is not about PoS or anything like that, but with the big business plan.
For those who ask for my permission, blessing or opinion I don't really have much to say. My stance was always reduced rewards/merge-mining with DOGE/LTC and not touching PoS due to huge security concerns. The PoS drive began with the community 'democratic' vote so I didn't feel like the dictator of a decentralized coin. It's a shame I couldn't get delivery of PoS sorted which is why I felt it best in the community hands. I'd advise a real vote in IRC and for those ultimately chosen to determine the future of NOBL to really understand the technology/industry future and care about things more important than short-medium term price/position protection. Good luck with your choices.
Rofo, good to see you; my little suggestion regarding your prior takeover post: DO NOT hand NOBL over to someone else if you want to see it alive "forever", or it will be dead soon. I'm seriously saying that, no one else can handle a coin as much as its original dev. Only you know what the coin was and will be in the future. Just ask the question, for what reasons, somebody/party would take over the coin? I never see a successful coin because of taking over (correct me).
I am free to take some tasks to pass NOBL over the PoS or whatever else. Let the community handle marketing stuffs etc, so that you can focus on your plan. But man, don't push yourself too hard; you know the crypto stuff is crazy, simply don't rely on it. I don't see any anticipation that we can get something out of it readily & quickly, unless undergoing the scam scheme (for quick profits), that's absolutely not what we're gonna do. Just relax yourself, few hours of crypto, few hours of your real life business. That's it!

I think this would be about right choice too; magi did have a specific design on the dynamic block rewards; I bet that will be resist to multipool. For anyone who is interested to it (again this post, or PM me for more discussion; I am actually keen to see it's combining with the scrypt ago to resist ASIC (it's a soft control though; I'm quite serious on this):

Edit: implementing this design into NOBL will only need a hardfork that can be done quite easily. No swap is needed, and we will be able to keep everything else the same, including the original NOBL code.
