Announcing OBAMACOIN!
Obamacoin is a revolutionary new cryptocurrency that is all about OBAMA!
At the moment the projected launch date is July 31st, as it is still in development.

 
The Development Team:
We are looking for a crypto developer to look over the code
A web developer to develop a site
A graphic designer to help make the site look nice
If you have any crypto-related skillls, feel free to shoot a PM!
Be a part of the Obama Revolution!  Vive le Obama!  ;)
Yes we can!
 

Distribution
When people see the word PREMINE, they automatically think "SCAM!"
We will make our premine ledger available to everyone to assure maximum transparency!
There will be a premine of 2012 coins (only 1% of total supply) which will be distributed as follows:
50 to John K. as a gesture of goodwill
50 to SaltySpittoon as a gesture of thanks
75 to the first pool
50 to the first quality game site
212 to be distributed in a giveaway, 0.25 OBAMACOIN per person (848 total people will receive)
100 to the first exchange
75 to the second exchange
50 for a block explorer
50 for a web wallet
1000 to be distributed at a later time to foster continued interest
IMPORTANT!  :)
300 to the Obamacoin contributors.  (Web devs, editors, graphics)
The Obamacoin contributors will be paid in Obamacoin.  We have faith in the coin!  That's why instead of being paid in BTC/LTC, we are paying in Obamacoin.

 
Stats:
Coins per block: 51, it increases each August when Obama's birthday rolls around.  The block reward will increase then to 52, etc.
Block time: 416 seconds, or about 7 minutes, the number of weeks he will be in office
Starting difficulty: 0.2008, the year of his election
Total coins: 20121961 - (2012 and 1961, the year he was reelected and the year he was born.)
Scrypt algo
Proof of Work/Proof of Stake for 51% resistance
 

Features:

Transaction comments
An Obama head in the client.
When you mine a block the obama meme "not bad" will make a brief appearance.
Whenever you start mining, the client will shoot a message, "Yes, you can!"

 
Goals:
Transparency in the premine
As soon as people see the world they automatically think "SCAM!"
We will try to keep the premine ledger as transparent as possible.
Humor, with the implementation of the "not bad" meme

Even if you don't support the coin, this will be a fun avatar!  :)

The Source is not finished though, I still need to implement the "not bad" meme and the increase in block reward on Obama's birthday.

Hmm, I may be able to increase the block reward to 100 or 200 that day just for Obama.  Thanks for the suggestion though!  :)

I would have joined but I didn't see "Yes we can" anywhere. So, I'm just disappointed.  :-\

Oh god, naming a coin after a political figure you can't keep to his word, probably one of the worst names for a coin to date.

No offense.

Just my view.  :D

"Yes we can" ???

"-MMM MMMcoin - Dead coin by notorious scamer SPMavrodi, named "yes we can" "my mozem mnogoye""

Well this is a stylish motto, and a nice parallelism between Obama and Mavrodi... and... and the coin?!? :D

Is that true?  If so do you think I should change the motto?
I wasn't even on the forums when MMMcoin was released, I bet.

Should I just change the name to "Obama" so then when people send the coins and pay for stuff they can say, "I already gave you an Obama!"

You shouldn't pay your devs in Obamacoin.

Just because you have "faith" in the coin doesn't mean that it'll have any value.

I sure as hell don't want to be paid with air.

This coin would only be acceptable if the client included a keylogger trojan that sent all your keystrokes to the NSA.
Plus there needs to be a drone with missiles behind Obamas head on the logo.

No, change it to "nothing", so people can say " I already gave you nothing"   - Obama

Ok,ok!  It was a bad idea to name a coin after a political figure!  Will lock thread and relaunch under a different name.

I like your wit, though, rbdrbd!  :)
