I am aware of burnercoin [BURN], a motor enthusiast crypto; burncoin [XBC] seeks to strengthen the burningman community by providing a medium of exchange for life in and beyond the temporary cities, and festivals.

Yes, we might have to change directions considering cryptonote will limit how many people mine.

I will be holding a poll for everyone's favorite algo.

Again this coin is in the pre-planning stages, ultimately a cryptocurrency developed by the community, for the community - essentially i opened the dialogue, and everything is open for discussion/change.

wtf are you talking about.  This is just an open discussion to have a coin where everyone has a voice and is as fair as possible. 

Are you not reading or are you just a bot?

Boring clone.  Anything new?

..arent they all clones??  When an architect builds a bridge they generally use 'cloned' designs and structures.

This coin is ultimately for enriching the Burningman community, and providing a platform for a gift economy.

I would like to have GPU's available at launch; and wallet available at launch.

Masternode has been attributed to DRK's fail - so perhaps we should consider developing and implementing burnnodes

No they're not, a clone implies an exact replica. Sure the underlying principles are the same but they're not all clones, some have fundamental differences and advances.

I think you will also have to ask them about this

and for other who don't know what burningman is

WHAT IS BURNING MAN?

Burning Man is an annual event and a thriving year-round culture. The event takes place the week leading up to and including Labor Day, in Nevada's Black Rock Desert. The Burning Man organization (Black Rock City LLC) creates the infrastructure of Black Rock City, wherein attendees (or "participants") dedicate themselves to the spirit of community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance. They depart one week later, leaving no trace. As simple as this may seem, trying to explain what Burning Man is to someone who has never been to the event is a bit like trying to explain what a particular color looks like to someone who is blind. In this section you will find the peripheral definitions of what the event is as a whole, but to truly understand this event, one must participate.

Outside the event, Burning Man's vibrant year-round culture is growing through the non-profit Burning Man Project, including worldwide Regional Groups and associated non-profits who embody Burning Man's ethos out in the world.

Whether our activities take place in Black Rock City or around the world, Burning Man's Ten Principles provide a guiding social and cultural framework for our community.

And i think an asic resistant algorithm is needed for this coin ... one different than cryptonote one where everyone has the same change of getting the coins ... there was a coin named fatecoin and it had an interesting algorithm, scypt jane +time limited algo
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=468889.0

I wouldn't make it exactly like fate coin but some hybrid between fate and cryptonote if it is possible :)
