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.

The only person I know of right now who is gearing up for a system of this level (or so it seems with NAUT/DIRAC/whatever is next) is Bryce Weiner, he's brilliant and he's a scoundrel (and he'll love hearing that). NOBL is going to become a brand, a 'path' of cryptocurrency, a coin as well as a 'reserve cryptocurrency'. We want to give everyone exactly what they want in as balanced/fair way as possible, and it's why trust/reputation to us has become so important. NOBL, the Marketplace and Steps are going to become the baseline services, that can be mirror-hosted/run by anyone interested to prevent a 'central point of failure'. On top of these we want to deliver the specifications you want by a trusted group that you can be more confident will be there to support them for years. Whether the value in a system like this is seen tomorrow or next year doesn't matter, big things just need some time.

It's also why we've been a little quiet. I apologise, there's only so much promo. you can do until the state of this scene sinks in. So we needed to take things to another level, and that's what we've been planning.
