Please do not send donations from HOSTED wallets ( Coinbase, Bitstamp.. etc)

Attention Tatiana Coin Backers: Every day of the Tatiana Coin campaign, 100,000 TC are be allocated to backers based on their donations during that 24hr period (Pacific timezone).  At the end of the event, there will be 3,000,000 Tatiana Coins in existence that will be distributed to those donors.  You may donate in Bitcoin (BTC) or Counterparty (XCP) - Donations and values are based on their US dollar value at the end of the day. There will only ever be 3,000,000 TATIANACOIN (TC), they will all be distributed to donors within a week of the end of the campaign at which point the asset issuance will be LOCKED.   Future token based fundraising done by Tatiana will come from selling TC that she recieves back from owners of TC who use it to buy rewards from her.
 
BEFORE YOU DONATE:
TatianaCoin is a User Created Asset built on top of CounterParty which is built on top of Bitcoin.  Please visit http://counterwallet.co to create a free Multi-Wallet which is able to control and spend Bitcoin, XCP, Tatianacoin and any number of other User Created Assets built on Counterparty.   While it is technically possible to donate from a normal Core Bitcoin, Blockchain.info or Armory Wallet client your wallet will not be able to see the TatianaCoins we send back until its private key has been imported into CounterWallet - Save yourself the headache and generate a free wallet at http://counterwallet.co
 
Please do NOT donate from wallets where you're not able to control your keys (such as a withdrawl from an exchange) - If you've already done this please contact us
 
If you don't have Bitcoin or XCP and want to participate, you can acquire Bitcoins at http://localbitcoins.com or http://coinbase.com.  Once you've acquired them, send your desired donation amount to your new CounterWallet Address (Make sure to write down the simple twelve word passphrase, it IS your private key!) and once it's in your Counterwallet, you should send small portions of it each day.
 
Because we allocate 100,000 TC per day not matter how many donations come in, it means that some days you'll get more TC for your donation than others.  The worst strategy is to send your entire donation on one day because while it might give you a very large share of that days allocation, it's only 100,000 of the total 3,000,000 that'll be given out.  It makes much more sense to donate every day for two weeks which will give you a smaller portion of a much larger pool - 1.4 million.   If you're a large donor (1BTC total and up) you're encouraged to contact our VIP concierge service that will manage your daily send if you don't want to (for a small fee)
 
So as we've mentioned a few times, this is a big experiment.  We have a crazy pricing model because we don't know what a fair price for the first Artistcoin is and want your help in figuring it out.  We love large donations, but we'd rather you get the most bang for your buck within the rules of the fundraiser than give in one chunk as an inefficient if altrustic gesture.
 
Thanks for participating, and for the feedback - it's been very instructive, please keep it coming!

Some great questions and answers so far:

Hey all,

Adam B. Levine here - I'm very supportive of this project, I just wanted to clarify that the TatianaCoin hangouts are *not* the Let's Talk Bitcoin show, they're their own thing and it has nothing to do with the release schedule for LTB.  I participate in both.

Thumbs up!

Full support for this crowd-funding scheme.
It's also great to see that finally somebody benefits from the Counterparty protocol.

Will keep an eye on this project.

Good luck!

I think you should add XCP based, IPO , letstalkbitcoin full support....

POOL?

There is no pool

Congratulations on leading the way! Surprised to say first time I've heard of coinpowers existence as well  :o

Welcome to the new age of cryptocurrency crowdfunding!!!
It's kinda exciting I must admit...

Tatiana Moroz seems like a very talented artist and I congratulate her for being a pioneer in this field.

Very best luck to you Tatiana!
I'm running to tell my friends.

nice concept
but how can I get the coin?

Do you have any twitter?
Facebook profile?

I would like to share it with people outside the crypto world as well

I have the same question.

I  love you Tatiana.  :-*

Will it be possible to exchange Tatianacoin to BTC?

Yes!  As soon as the campaign closes we're going to start distributing TATIANACOIN to donors.  It's a real token, so you'll be able to immediately trade them on the Counterparty Distributed Exchange.

It may also be traded on one or more centralized exchanges, we're taking it slow but there has been interest because of the unique value proposition of this type of coin.


There is no pool because TATIANACOIN is a user created asset built on Counterparty which is built on Bitcoin, so a TC address IS a Bitcoin address and it can hold and spend both from the same wallet.  Because there is no mining (since the bitcoin miners do that work) there is no pool, so the way you can get some TC is by donating BTC or XCP to Tatiana's project (making her third album and more) - You can find out more at http://www.coinpowers.com/project.aspx?id=11155


It's not an IPO, I agree they should add it is XCP based and there is no "letstalkbitcoin" full support, rather Adam B. Levine who also is the editor of Let's Talk Bitcoin, is fully supportive and has been advising the project from day one.   The idea should succeed because its a good idea, not because of me or LTB.

Maybe Tatiana will post here something for the community?
Would be nice...

Hםw much should I donate to get a kiss on the chick from Tatiana?  :-*

How's it going in Maroon 5?

http://letstalkbitcoin.com/profile/user/adam

They actually got us confused at the library, we grew up a few cities apart and he's a few years older than I am.

Why do you choose to allocate the coins on a daily basis?

Because we do not know what a fair price is per coin and want to encourage daily participation.

We liked how the model worked at http://www1.agsexplorer.com/ and wanted to try it with a lower volume project, so again this is an experiment.

Is there any new features about this coin? Pos algorithm?

It is is a user created asset built on top of http://Counterparty.co, so it uses the Bitcoin blockchain and Bitcoin addresses.

donation period is too long

I'm interest to the technological innovation ..not the conceptual innovation

This is going to sound silly, but I fear the forums!  So many strange formatting things w the posting, it doesn't seem very inviting and there are always inside jokes I don't get... HOWEVER, I was SOOOO happy to read all your wonderful comments on here today, and so I have overcome my fear.  I am thrilled that you are checking out our coin project and journey into the artist coin concept.  I have been super busy doing all sorts of coin-ey stuff.  I did an awesome interview last night with Madbitcoins (it's long, but super fun- check out even a bit- at 1:08 I start talking about the record label idea which you may enjoy).  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuyIMYCMP3I&feature=share

Before that, I was on with Angel Clark :  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKKgW4Bklxg&list=UUGVHmTOvX_cNJQrXLmrPDCA

Last week, I did a live performance for Jeffrey Tucker and the Liberty.me folks:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RbCYT1QrOc

And a class where I talk about my background and why music is a great way to evangelize Bitcoin and liberty (I am waiting for it to be posted online).

Anyway, I am happy to answer any of your questions, here or at our QA's:

June 10 8:00 pm EST Exploring Artist Coins with Tatiana Moroz and Adam B. Levine
June 15 4:00 pm EST Exploring Artist Coins with Tatiana Moroz and Adam B. Levine
June 24 Time TBA Exploring Artist Coins with Tatiana Moroz and Adam B. Levine
July 1 9:00 pm EST Artist Coin Wrap Up

I will check back in soon!

XOXO,

I think conception innovation is also important.
It would be better to add property protection features like Monegraph with namecoin. I am not a technical guy, so I don't know how difficult to achieve this. But it's really important for artists to protect their property.

Sound not good.

The video w Adam was impromptu btw.  I wasn't even supposed to be in SF, but there was the Music Tech conf I was invited to so I drove up to Napa spur of the moment.  We just took his camera and went into the yard.  It's lovely there.  Had I been in NYC as planned, we would have done it at the studio www.PremierStudiosNY.com I used to manage so the audio would have been better and lighting.  However, this was natural and let's face it, I don't have a video crew following me around (YET!) Plus even now we wouldn't be able to take it down cause that vid has traction in other places it's been posted.

Thanks for the feedback though! :)  Should be better in the studio~

This is a coin worth observing , I will be watching TATIANA COIN

Hi, I will be donating for some Tatiana coin, but I do have two questions.

What does the "$25,000 minimum goal" mean? If $25K isn't reached, what happens?

And curious if you know why CoinPowers.com requires an account to be set up, rather than letting parties simply send Bitcoin to a specific address (as with the MaidSafe sale).

If the minimum isn't reached, everyone will be refunded (minus the tx fee to send it back), the coin won't be created and Tatiana will try things a little differently.

Coinpowers requires you to at least click through to a guest account because this is very experimental and we want you to be aware of the risk.  You don't have to give us your info (register an account) but you do have to agree that you saw the terms and conditions.

Not exactly sure the purpose of this even after reading the entire thread :/

K, Thanks!

I think the purposes are:
-Experiment with a new coin model
-Raise money for Tatiana
-Give people a way to earn Tatiana-based goodies
-Give people a way to speculate on Tatiana (and this model). The idea being something like, if Tatiana becomes a superstar (or grows in popularity), the coins you bought will become more valuable, and you can make profit.

I think it's a really neat funding idea for people who believe in an artist (or project). One can contribute during the lean times, and participate in profit should enough success come.

Normally I'd go berserk on a new coin at this point of the discussion, but there doesn't seem to be anything flawed to point out.

The main thing that confused me was your dispersion breakdown in paragraph form. It would probably be more understandable in table formatting.

Hey guys - thanks for posting on this thread!
Tatiana has been busy with creating new content for the Tatiana Coin and she wanted to share this video from today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTQUzg4-b_w

If you're interested in buying Tatiana Coins she would love to hear from you! Please tweet, hashtag, and like the Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/tatiana.moroz (https://www.facebook.com/tatiana.moroz)

Hey guys! I just wrote this long post on here and then the forum did some weird error and I lost it.  I am pretty peeved, but oh well.  I am so happy to see people keepin the thread alive!  The campaign is growing slowly but surely.  I think with such a new experience, folks don't know what exactly to make of it, but the response has been really positive.  Thanks for all your support!  This link is to the QA we did today with Adam B. Levine and Thomas from Madbitcoins:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8ayrpfnLBw&feature=share

We will be doing the next one at 4 pm EST on Father's Day, hope you can join us!  If you have any ideas for videos or ways I can spread the word, I am happy to hear them! 

XOXO and thanks again!
Tatiana
