Post by: wdw0299 on January 04, 2014, 08:35:16 AM Nation... there can be only one truly great altcoin, and we all know it has to be the Colbertcoin. "I am crypto, and so can you!" Stay tuned to this page for more. www.colbertcoin.com under construction. We are in the process of contacting the producers of The Colbert Report, I will keep you informed! We have no intentions of making this a flash in the pan, but rather a longer term project that will serve not only to educate, but also donate to worthy causes selected by Mr Colbert. Altcoin watchdog organization suggested - Faircoin Foundation - Please read and give input: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=397832.20 WARNING: I strongly discourage new members and individuals new to cryptocurrencies from attempting to speculate with this coin. The goal here is to bring attention to bitcoin through the power of parody via the master himself. Do not download wallets or any files related to this coin from any other site other than what will be mentioned in this post. Anybody willing to assist in this project, please contact me through colbertcoin.com. I prefer to not deal with anonymous individuals, you will be required to share you identity with me and hopefully share a beer when we all get together. If you live in Colorado, Ill come to your place! NO POOLS PLEASE! We want to keep this as solo mining friendly as possible for as long as possible. Please do not post your pools here until further notice.

Advance notice... etc. Don't give too many coins too fast. 1% per day or less of coin generation of total existing coins is a good rule of thumb. You don't want to end up like DOGE. Every day with them is still almost 4% more coins per day. Look what that did. And yes - getting the person's blessing is a good idea. Title: Re: [ANN] Colbertcoin - Pending, check back soon!

If we are making a coin using somebodies name, they deserve to know and have a say in it. Sure, we can just run with it and go ahead anyway, but that is not the path I want to take here. This is uncharted territory and we want to makes we we set a good example. If the Colbert side comes back and says no-go, then its off. If they get back to us and want to give this a go, then we will work hard to make sure this is done right and becomes the best damn altcoin it can be!

Post by: boomerjackson on January 06, 2014, 03:05:23 AM Its going to be hard to get his or the producers blessing without anything backing the coin.

Title: Re: [ANN] Colbertcoin - Pending, check back soon! Post by: suchnoob on January 09, 2014, 05:21:23 PM Can I make several suggestions?
Since it will be a very popular coin, and the man has some value, try these settings: Max coins: no more than 500 million Block rewards: 5k/block In order to avoid severe coin depreciation like it happened to doge: Block reward halfing: every month, or dependent on hashrate. (1month +-2 weeks) Starting difficulty 0.25 First 1000 blocks only 1k/block reward *fixed Difficulty re-target every 1000 blocks. Difficulty max Up/Down +100%/-20% You could make certain days related to the man's life (like his birthday, the show's anniversary editions etc) as bonus days. Title: Re: [ANN] Colbertcoin - Pending, check back soon! Post by: suchnoob on January 10, 2014, 05:24:42 PM And make it Script-Jane.

How's this coin going? Any news back from the RL Colbert? Title: Re: [ANN] Colbertcoin - Pending, check back soon! Post by: spiffcow on January 12, 2014, 05:19:44 AM I think you should just do it without his consent.. And with a disclaimer saying something like "The OFFICIAL ColbertCoin! Disclaimer: this coin is not endorsed, sanctioned, approved, or condoned by Stephen Colbert, the Colbert Nation, or Viacom. Any resemblance to any person or fictional character, living or dead, is completely coincidental." That's what Colbert would do! Asking permission is a sign of weakness. Also, on the same day, you should release BearCoin, the greatest threat to the ColbertCoin.
Title: Re: [ANN] Colbertcoin - Pending, check back soon! Post by: suchnoob on January 12, 2014, 05:32:50 AM And make it Script-Jane. Is there GPU miner for it?It is.

Check out RonPaulCoin, they launched without his approval, just didn't use his face or claim any link to him until after approval. Keep the ties to Steven Colbert to a minimum and wait til he here's about it and makes a joke about filling his lifelong dream of being the face on a dollar bill and then your golden. Title: Re: [ANN] Colbertcoin - Pending, check back soon! Post by: ratty on January 23, 2014, 02:30:45 AM It may have been better to actually have specifically done this one without approval, it would have been more comedy opportunity.
Title: Re: [ANN] Colbertcoin - Pending, check back soon! Post by: ctenc001 on January 23, 2014, 04:24:05 PM "ColbertCoin" can be generic. You don't have to come right out and say you this is a coin backed by stephen Colbert. Keep it generic, say you love all things 'colbert' such as the actress, the french politician, Stephen Colbert, and even Colbert butter. put a stick of butter on the coin until Colbert comes out and supports it. This covers your ass, you just made a coin referencing butter.
Its far easier to get support from a celebrity when its a multi million dollar coin, and not just an unproven idea. Stephen Colbert is not going to give the go ahead and endorsement of a random guy on the internet; he'd launch a coin himself before doing that. Giving you an endorsement is a liability until the coin is already succssful. I say start with this: Noun 1. Colbert - butter creamed with parsley and tarragon and beef extract And once the coin is launched, and showing some success make a donation to Colbert Super Pac or one of his nonprofits, requesting his support. And once you get approval, switch it over to his face. Title: Re: [ANN] Colbertcoin - Pending, check back soon! Post by: ratty on January 25, 2014, 10:54:04 PM Ok I'll say it, can someone else just pick this up and launch it? There's no updates being given, and I think Colbert would be ok with the community just making a coin in his name. Ron Paul didn't care about his coin, they're not all douchebags like Kanye.
Title: Re: [ANN] Colbertcoin - Pending, check back soon! Post by: hank99 on January 29, 2014, 05:06:17 AM I think its a good idea. Especially given Colberts fued with kanye west. It might not be that hard to get him to endorse it. proving once again that he is in fact, the voice of this generation of this decade.
I must say though, I think the name should be Americoin. Title: Re: [ANN] Colbertcoin - Pending, check back soon!
