Mason Coin, The Constructive Coin

I already started this discussion and still believe in it:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=293692.0

The main points of the thread are, we need a coin for Open source:
 
Art payment
Video payment
Music/Beat Creation payment
Photography payment
and
Silver purchases (not open source)

But I just had an idea. Why not make a coin that is SOLELY for the purpose of helping other coins build themselves.

The word "Mason" means "stone worker". It is also the name of my 11 year old brother who died 3 months ago. Let's make a coin that is not meant for charities to use, but that IS a charity itself. A "Jesus Coin" that can sacrifice itself for the benefit of other coins when necessary
EX: Help the market of one coin by trading tons of Mason coins for it (and maybe have a percentage of the mining go to projects like this and funding real world projects), and Mason coins will be able to buy you silver (I will use a portion of my devtome earnings to buy silver to use for this).

If anyone would like to help me in this project, please reply.

The symbol for the coin will be something like this:
http://freemasoninformation.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/antiart1.gif

i thought there was already an Open Source Coin?  :-\

But we need more coins like Devcoin, where a percentage of mining goes to other projects. If we make it where mining is the only way to get coins, then only tech savy (and non broke) people will get to be involved in coins.

This would also be a good middle finger to the Freemasons :)

Also, I just had an idea. What if there was a way to mix the coins together even deeper than just having a coin to support them.

What if 2 or more coins came together?
Divide and Conquer, but together all coins can thrive.

Devcoin works to pay writers, critics and people who take pictures.
Eco-Coin is looking to, itself, become an eco-support project.
Mason coin (not in existence yet) wants to bring coins out of the gutter, and onto the front page of the internet
I'm sure we can find ways for all coins to be used for other things, and for the coins to work together instead of against one another.

Any way to earn this coin without mining?

Figured I'd spam your thread since you thought it was a good idea to dig up every dead thread for the last year and post some b.s. in it. Thanks for wasting my time.

Yes, it's kinda the point of the coin other than supporting other coins, if you read.  :P

What do ya'll think about a coin that does something like this:

A website for:

Art payment - 1 file = 1/10 share
Video payment -5 min = 1 share
Music/Beat Creation payment - 5 min = 1 share
Photography payment - 1 picture = 1/10 share

These would be paid like Devcoin, with a percentage of mining going to the website that hosts these things

Then, I'm not sure if this is possible, but 5-10% of mining that can be put in a wallet and every month or 2 there will be a poll, and the coin that wins gets a dump of MSC to help it (we'll buy up any coins we can with MSC, in a fashion that raises the price of your coin, even if that means getting silver first and then turning silver into bitcoins, and bitcoins into your coin) .

And, there will always be silver available for mason coins.

And mining, it would be cool if we could get a MSC/DVC/ECO/BTC pool.

Blocks that release 1,000 coins
1,000,000,000 coins total

How are you going to secure it?

Seems like you'd just be launching an insecure crapcoin whose main accomplishment if it accomplishes anything at all would be to lower the value of your devcoins.

If you can actually make money with sites featuring those things that you propose to pay people for, you can turn the profits into devcoins and help increase the value of your devcoins.

But first you should probably start by making a site containing those kinds of things and check whether it does actually make money, as if it doesn't then paying people for such things would just be a waste of money anyway.

It might well be partly due to paying people for stuff that isn't actually ending up paying its way that has brought devcoin values so low right now.

How much income per month can you actually rake in per five minute video, for example?

-MarkM-

These things DO make money. And the PLAN is to support alt-coins, like Devcoin.

If there was an open source art website, we could use our writing from Devtome and art from the art website to make books
If there was a beat website, people could get coins for making music (and there are TONS of people out there making beats) then people that CAN'T make beats could go make MUSIC with the provided beats, allowing people who can't write long lyrics or books, but can write lyrics, to make money.

And the goal isn't to SELL these things on the site, the goal is to give these people coins and let other people come use the stuff for FREE.

The value of Devcoin is low because someone dumped 60 million coins. So someone bought a bunch of coins and sold them for shit, or wrote for a while and sold a ton of coins at once.

A five minute video, seriously? Let me show you something...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdmoT2GgzMA

That video have over 1,000,000 views. Which means the guy that posted it made at least $1,000 on it, plus he probably got views on his other videos through it...

And YouTube probably made 10x that much on it... It's a ten minute video, but the point is that this video has no point. And even if we let people just take their videos from youtube and use our site like a blog, we could start making some money also.

Just had an idea. This coin could be the first Cryto-Coin YouTube sponsor!!! (look up "YouTube Game Sponsor" for more info)

And I'm a member of a forum where people are just HUNTING for sponsors.

I just had a realization. We can DOUBLEY support other coins.

So, same plan as before, 5-10% goes into a wallet to be traded for a coin that gets chosen by poll here on Bitcointalk. And it is bought in a way that helps its value, not hurts it.

But, I just realized, that means there will be a store of alt-coins...

That means.. We can hold contests and give away FREE coins for that coin.

2x the support for whatever coin wins the poll.

If you are so great at setting up streaming video servers and stuff like that why not help get the sites devcoin is working on off the ground?

I think part of the reason they are not up yeet was failure to secure yet all the domains that such sites would want to use.

But another part I think was the total market cap of devcoin is not large enough to pay for things like streaming video servers, which use quite a bit of bandwidth.

Draining more of the value out isn't going to get it to sufficient market cap any faster, it'll just set up yet another contantly forking, constantly attacked crapcoin wasting even more developer-time just trying to keep patching it against attacks fixing forks and so on. There are already far more coins out there than there are enoguh developer-hours in a year to keep fixed and up to date.

-MarkM-

I don't even know what streaming video servers is, I am asking for help not agitated criticism.

That would be awesome if Devcoin were a YouTube sponsor, but I don't feel like devcoin is trying to change anything or add anything any time soon.

I can make up some domains and bring people to them, I just need help with the code and stuff. I am not good with computers, but I can get an idea out there.

If the market cap of Devcoin is not high enough to host video servers, then why are we discussing this in relevance to Devcoin. And I bet if you were to sponsor videos posted on YouTube, you wouldn't even have to worry about that.

I'm not trying to drain the value of Devcoin, this is a NEW coin. It wouldn't take business from Devcoin, and would probably even start a pool that included Devcoin. Bringing more miners to Devcoin.

If you don't have time that's fine, but I feel like these things need to be done sooner rather than later, so I am going to keep trying.

Here's our competition:

Yea markm, his ideas are good; stop being critical or rational or realistic.  :o

Fin most altcoins are for fun.
Even if you make a profit its pennies on the dollar.
Just go get a job so you can buy your alt coins and stop asking if you can get them writing.

I don't see how supporting art, music and other creative outlets isn't along the lines of "for fun" while focusing on downloading software to solve complicated algorithms does fall under the lines of "for fun".

Did you already finish all of your other projects? What about your collections for a group trip through Mexico and the Caribbean? How did it turn out with you publicly accusing your stepfather of murdering your brother and all that? Remember, when you said he should make a donation to you or you would press murder charges against him?


http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=finshaggy

Those are projects I proposed for Devcoin, and if we made enough money we would TOTALLY do as much of that list as we could.

And my step dad goes to church with the counties police mortition and they recently went in and ruled that peanut butter was not the cause of death, even though he was allergic to it and ate it. They are blaming the after effects, like asthma and brain swelling, instead of the trigger. And I  never suggested that anyone make a donation, I suggested that he not be a complete ass hole, because he took something from US not vice verse. But he doesn't have the capacity to be anything less than actively rude and sadistic.

Mason Coin Mission Statement:

Mason Coin (The Constructive Coin) is the coin for people who can't mine, and the miners who want to support creative minds. 50% of blocks mined go to the miners, while the other 50% goes directly to projects that work to support creative open source projects, like: Graphic Design, Video Creation, Photography, Beat Production, Music Creation & even the growth of Other Alt-coins.

My 11 year old brother died June 4th, 2013 and this coin is meant to honor him. Mason is not only his name, but also means "Stone Worker", the goal of Mason coin is not to become the next big coin. The goal of Mason coin is to FIND the next big coin, as well as find some talented artists, musicians and other creators who wouldn't be getting paid it if weren't for the existence of this coin. Together, these creative outlets will form a community of artists, writers (with the help of Devcoin), Ecologists (with the help of Ecocoin) and hopefully a spectrum of others. And this community can use the submitted open source works to create larger works. For example, a beat (which someone would have submitted there to earn coins) can be taken from the beat board, then a second person can add their own instruments to the beat and resubmit it to earn their own coins. Then a third person can use that music, and add their own original lyrics (maybe this is a writer from Devtome) and create a song. This song can now be submitted to YouTube and various other outlets, or even resubmitted to the board for more coins.

Video creation is submitted through the partner program. To become a partner, you must first have a YouTube channel and videos submitted. If these requirements are met, you can apply for the partner program and if accepted, ads will be added to your YouTube videos, for which you will earn Mason Coins. Anyone accepted in the program will receive the benefits of: Video Promotion, Collaborative Partners and more.

10% of the 50% dedicated to creative works will go into a wallet that is to be used democratically. There will be polls created on Bitcointalk.org in where we will vote on which coin will receive the Mason coin benefits that round.  The coin that is chosen by voters will be purchased above price with Mason Coins, and then the coins that are purchased will be given away in a contest.

We plan to have a cap of 1,000,000,000 coins

We will be offering Devcoins and Silver as bounties for this project :)

why would you want it to be anti-masonic.. considering they give more to charity than many other organisations..

Because this country is not meant to be one where people only let their sons and their friends sons have things. I don't care how much they give to charity, it does not offset what they take from our political system.

i've almost finished with MasonCoin QT and MasonCoinD. uploading both + source right now.

Eh? That's called friendship/family.. If i was a millionaire i'd rather give my son something "special" than a stranger.. this is the nature of things, have no idea what that has to do with freemasonry..

Maybe you should create Christ coin too, except with an inverted Crucifix logo.. and give 50% of coins generated to charities..

I think you have been watching too much "Alex Jones" (or reading 100 year old books) :D

Is this someone pulling my chain or are you for real?

If you are for real, thank you you are awesome.

And that's fine. But when you make an organization BASED around doing that, and not just with your own business, but the countries political system, it becomes a HUGE problem.

So... Was this a joke?

probably. no offense but your coin idea is pitiful. you should probably come up with a new or better idea. There is already DevCoin and OpenSourceCoin so i think that MasonCoin would have little support, if any. just my 2 cents but good luck with it nonetheless FinShaggy

Devcoin and OpenSourceCoin don't cover a SINGLE one of the bases this coin does.

And one guys joke doesn't kill a coin.

I'm not going to stop looking for people for this.

Alright shiggy, I feel like trying to create an altcoin myself and might give creating your devcoin clone a shot.
UNDER ONE CONDITION.
You have to host the web portal for the creations.
I'm assuming you wouldn't be willing to relenquish your pennies for it though.

I'm down. But I kinda feel like you are going to do something to trick me, since you said something about relinquishing pennies, and the only people I know that say stuff like that are my the biggest trolls that follow me around (from RIU)... Sorry for my cautious paranoia.

I would be willing to host this coin, how much would it cost...

No I didn't mean host the coin.
I meant host the portal.
You know where people are going to post their work.
and it'd be like $35 starting a month for a vps, optimistically.

imo: PUT THE PIPE DOWN AND STEP awayyyyyyyy FROM THE KEYBOARD!!! ::)LOL assclown/\

Mason Coin QT and Mason Coin D and sources. you're welcome

Well then, stay in touch and yeah I'll host the portal. I am moving this month, so I have to save money for rent. But I will have extra money soon.

I definitely will though. I think it would be good to get a larger team together anyways before actually launching it :)

Why would you tell people they can crack it, lol.

And if 50% is premined, then no one is going to want to use it (hopefully we can reverse that)... I guess it's a good start though. Thank you.

PMing now. Unless you would like to hold it for a while.

Again, thank you.

Why would you give this out?

*facepalm*
the premine is the amount you'll give out to the people who make art/music/whatever.

lol exactly! plus if shaggy don't want it, the first person to crack the rar gets it. everyone is then happy! (except for shaggy i guess)

Once someone opens the wallet, there is no longer a way for anyone to get paid for art or anything. It's just a coin with some guy that has 500,000,000 coins in a wallet asking people to mine.

But that's not how it was meant to be, the coins are supposed to come out of blocks, and it wasn't meant to be a target for hackers.

This is the RIUcoin

I assume that is supposed to be some kind of insult towards me? it is what it is you ungrateful dick. i made this for you and you better love it.

It's fine, it's just not a mason coin.

you are living in the wrong country to be saying this !!!!LMAO :D

Am I supposed to be in a country NOT run by freemasons saying things like this? What would be the point.

Fin its simple.

1.you get to keep 50% of the coins.
2.Miners mine the other 50%.
3.You give out coins to artists/musicians, etc...

Or you can premine 90% of coins like devcoin.
I fail to see the issue here.

For most people, ignorance is bliss. But in the case of FinShaggy its a state of constant confusion and unanswered questions. hey man, i read your thraed and gave you what you wanted. its like morpheus said in the matrix, i can only show you the door. its up to you to walk through it.

It's not what I wanted.

1. the coins are all meant to come from blocks, zero premine. Like devcoin, the coins are released BY miners, not before they get there.

2. blocks are supposed to have 1,000 coins each

3. the 50% going to artists is meant to go to them, not meant to be in my possession where I can steal it if I want (not that I would, but no one would trust anyone in that position). as soon as someone steals that wallet, there is no longer a viable way for anyone to get paid for their work.

THUS
This is not the coin this thread is about.

Someone just told me that the coin is a "wallet stealer". That's cool and all, but it's not the coin to name after my dead brother.

my guess is you are either promoting for them or you really don't have a clue what you are even talking about !!!

*BTCtw*here is what you need if you even have anything people wanna listen to!====>


http://www.digital-tunes.net/info/bitcoin

that was spoid, and your rough quote is nowhere near what it said. he was nonchalantly alleging, in quite a joking fashion, that you had someone make you a wallet stealing coin so you could finally have some money(because everyone sees you as the stereotypical flat broke stoner)

I literally don't have a clue what I'm talking about (I'm in no way "tech savvy" ). I'm just trying to get things done.

Says the guy that made the coin.

omg, whatever you fucking troll. i'm done

here you go you have no excuse !~read :

http://www.sacred-texts.com/mas/index.htm
 ;)

read? that retard has never read in his life.

Oh shit. I thought you meant the coin, not the Masons. I know what I am talking about with the Masons, I don't need your texts. I have traveled all over the country, and even to Mexico and been able to compare and contrast the towns with and without Masons, as well as the locations of the lodges. And I did extensive research about the organization itself before that.

Thank you though.

LOL. Yeah.
http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=ancient_history_by_finshaggy_aka_hannibalimhotep

I currently have a list of over 350 books to buy, as well as 30 books in the mail. I just got done with 2, and I'm in the middle of 1.

And this is just this month that I've been reading this much, as research for my own book.

And I'm reading books about historical figures and have some text books in the mail that I can't wait for :) Not just "reading", researching.

OP is a fuckin troll, its so obvious. lying about having a dead brother. who does that?

Fuck you, I've already had to prove this here
http://obits.dignitymemorial.com/dignity-memorial/obituary.aspx?n=Mason-Wight&lc=4566&pid=165185158&mid=5558426

no i think he really has a dead brother. remember him using it as an excuse to beg for money in the past

because you prolly are one!~get a job hippy 8)

I never begged (or even asked) for money. Please link to the post you "remember" that from.
I did say I was going to start a charity with the help of my step-dad, who ASKED ME TO MAKE IT AT MY BROTHERS DEAD BED and said that his company had $30,000 ready for it.

But I NEVER asked for money, as the charity never got created. My step-dad dropped out.

Hey fin
I'm going to steal your idea/coin name/source code that haxxor gave you
I'm going to give shares to people who make youtube videos
and unlike the devcoin developer I'm going to do it right
Hope you don't mine (heh heh)  8)

That's completely fine. That coin he made is not my coin at all. And I am making this coin whether you call that a "Mason Coin" or not (That coin is a penguin coin, the code doesn't even allow for my idea to work, so you can't steal both it is literally impossible, unless you make 2 different coins), and I'll be using funds from my actual published book once it's done, not devcoin.

Do you even know what mason's do. This seems like an ego trip

Mason is my dead brother, this coins focus has NOTHING to do with Freemasons... You seem like a person that didn't read.

The only mention of the Freemasons was a few pictures, and me say "And this coin would also be a good middle finger to the Masons".

0 connection

looks like you need some eye drops  ;D

This seems like a very uneducated concept for a coin lol. What it does is actually very Masonic in spirit. This seems like a sad ego trip, although I understand wanting to do something for you late brother. Condolences.

OMG LOL!!!!  :D now/\that's funny

I'm sorry about his brother.. very upsetting...

As for the Freemasons.. they give millions to charity every year.. and it's not just for masons, mostly it's for things like "Air Ambulance services", Care Homes, Hospitals (cancer scanning devices), people who can't afford life saving surgery (and will take too long to get on the NHS list).. that's just in my city alone..

There is no conspiracy for global domination... that is the Mega Corporations and Mega Bankers etc,,, of course there will be some of these that are Masons... but what he is saying is like "All Muslims are Terrorists" or "All Priests are paedo's"..

...

Freemasonry is a gentlemen's club..

also (kinda of fitting) they call each other "Brother"..
of course they help each other out, just like any organisation where you see the same people all the time.. like Church, Golf Clubs, Gangs, Mosques, Work Place.. etc

also note: I am into all this conspiracy "stuff" too :)

What the fuck is wrong with you using that logo.

There already is a Mason Coin, its called the US dollar, and its actually a giant ponzi scam.
