Re: NobleCoin[NOBL] - **NOBL/$USD@VoS**MARKETPLACE/BULLION**50 CHARITIES/MERCHANTS**
Why would people attack this coin?
Do they target all scrypt coins and try to make double spend attacks?
Or is it noble that get a special treatment for some reason?

I think we have some enemies, probably the same people who are involved in the scam coins and see us as a threat.
My opinion is that we should stay with scrypt, inevitably this will happen with any algo. The only way to not have this happen is to constantly switch algos, which is a crap idea.
I think there will only be a temporary spare of attacks, then the "good side" will catch up in terms of hash power.
Please explain why that is a crap idea? Without it the fork comes anyway unless you have not noticed. at least with changing with the times we control how the fork is handled.
Well the way I see it (and I am aware that I am not that experienced), if you fork to a certain flavour, and then an ASIC is developed for that, you would have to then fork again to avoid ASICs.
Correct.

To me this shows weakness and that the coin is scared and running from change rather than embracing it. It also shows that the devs are a little too trigger happy to fork the coin and that it could potentially mean that they unknowingly fork to an untested method and ruin everything.
Does it show weakness to step out of the way of a car when walking down the sidewalk? There is a thing called testnet so untested methods do not get pushed.

ASICs are inevitable and I think that us weathering the storm and fighting back, rather than running would be the sensible and strong thing to do.
This shows that you are not grasping my argument. OK Yes they are inevitable as long as they are profitable but If a coin proves it will move to an un asic mineable algo when one is created for it then those companies that create asic's will not create one for that algo as it will not be profitable. But for this to happen a coin must make that pledge and stick to it. It will happen, It is a question of when and what coin will do this. Noble should lead the way as it is doing is so many other ways.
hhhaaayyy... Poolerino and Coinmine are both still down... ah, had just directed my GPUs to mine Bitcoin head-on... hope tomorrow, everything will be normal then we can mine NOBL again... i'm just doin' a positive thinking...
W0w good luck on that! I would love to hear tomorrow you hit the Jackpot!
