I think Noblecoin devs should look at forking to X11. The perception is that the new powerful asics 300mh will wreak havok on scrypt coins and "they" may be right this time. X11 is not a fad. It's what ppl want to invest in.

If you successfully forked to X11 coin prices would no doubt rise because people perceive X11 as superior, and they want to continue mining with their GPU's. In a couple months you wont be able to mine Noblecoin with a GPU.

EDIT: I'm not down on Noblecoin, I hold a good bit, and think this is one of the few coins that has a chance long term. Noblecoin has a terrific community and dev team, but I also think innovation is necessary.
