I agree Honeypot, and with all due respect, we have emailed and gone through the voting rounds on major exchanges for six weeks now. Community members have even emailed with the hint of 'prices' to get listed. We have emailed almost a hundred (literally) crypto media outlets, every single one that has run a story on the Dogesled and the Worldcoinwell actually, with the full story about our Water Project beginning, Marketplace deals, and the successful wrap-up of our Water Project donation drive (of which I cynically continue to point out, coins with 20x our market cap struggled with and still have not 100% delivered on themselves).
We are getting zero response from exchanges or media (BTCGeek & CryptoArticles are exceptions we are very grateful for). We're not even getting responses regarding 'pricing'. We're getting down-voted constantly on Reddit, by other communities I imagine. This is why I continue to ask our community to keep getting the word out there. We are being held down, on purpose or subconsciously, but the longer we stay here delivering the good stuff (more of which is coming) the harder it will be to ignore us forever, and sooner or later our time will come. Unfortunately, a number have left, unhappy the Marketplace did not make them rich, ignoring the larger picture (BTC & Mtgox) and declaring us a failing coin.
On a personal level, it is getting frustrating and I am getting a little cynical as 100s of BTC pour into s*** like Panda, Stackcoins & Max, but there is no way in Hell the devs and ambassadors of NobleCoin are going anywhere soon no matter what happens to our price. If anyone for a second thinks the first month and a half is going to be the culmination of how much we put into this coin, they are very wrong.
Thank you, Rofo. I know I stated the above before, and I don't mean to pester you.
I only wish to encourage you and the devs, let you know you are not alone in feeling that way. We do know that getting 'frustrated' is the first step to disaster. This coin is barely old enough as it is, and quitting is not an option.
May I suggest holding back on humanitarian or idealistic projects, and instead work very hard to gain the attention of whales and other investors? I applaud your efforts, but we can't eat an omelet before even breaking open the egg case. Those kinds of projects seem very premature at this point, and would take away attention, patience, efforts and energy from things that needs to be done first: Works that will make this coin recognized as it should be and be taken seriously in the mainstream crypto market, one of the most important being public attention and demand - and these things require a coin to be profitable and valuable.
Your efforts at such projects and propagation of your ideas behind this coin is not wasted - they made an impression on the people. However, that much may be enough for now - we need to curtail a bit of such attention on those projects and focus 90% or more of your efforts on, for the lack of better word, pumping this coin up to the place where it should be if it is to have the power to help others.
A coin that is undervalued and is unrecognized, a coin that cannot even help itself, cannot help others. You must be secure, valuable, and stable before really being effective in helping others. Nobility without strength is meaningless, and altruism or sense of motivation to help without being able to take care of your own is not a proper nobility but an exercise in empty self-congratulation. Charity without self-awareness is irresponsibility, and helping yourself just means you are getting ready to expand your ability to truly bring about realizing your ideals.
As I said, demand can follow if prices rise. A short term investing of a big player, which may leave bag holders, may still be what we need since bag holders don't stay that way forever - eventually market grows to its gradual and natural growth, and we DO need that kind of demand and publicity. Profit is always a good motivator to force people's attention.
All the efforts are nothing if people don't WANT to pay attention - unless they are 'entertained' as doge, or just plain hyped as MAX. This type of whale attention may be just what we need - at the same time as getting it to cryptsy of course.
I just believe that we may be taking a little too impractical and self-motivation based approach to this, rather than 'whatever works' which is really the way to go in the beginning. You cannot do anything unless you ARE something. That must be established first.
As for cryptsy.......hound big vern until he gives
