Stayed up late and had everything ready. Pool, miner, asked dev to check source yesterday.
Took 1 hour to get wallet up. Had to fix a lot of bugs in the source.

Going to bed now, hoping someone has donated til morning.

Night folks. I hope it gets better for you.


Sorry to hear that, everyone else seems to have sorted it all.

Have sent you a couple of coins to compensate staying up for launch!


I can confirm this dev is legit.

You have my support.

The faucet doesn't seem to be working, it reports "You got 1 RPD", but no coin arrives in my wallet... :-(

We have been made aware of the issue, currently being worked on.

Official Buy/Sell Thread opened due to demand = https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=456111

Please share some of the premine guys....i've been mining for 3 hours from launch and only pulled 3.3 coins??? (at 700kH)

I had high hopes for this coin. I WILL tell the board if any premine is shared.

Thanks

Some hard decisions has to be made quickly, the publicity thay this coin i getting is  dream for every brand, we have to take this coin to the exchange within the law, the names Coinye and Coye are  flagged and no exchange wil accept them, someone has suggested CONYE with the short name CYE, this could be a good name or maybe another name but  what ever you do: DONT GIVE UP THIS COIN!!!

What publicity ?? There WAS publicity which could have been taken advantage of by a compliant rebrand after the initial C&D (which would have allowed it onto a legit exchange with major public hype behind it).

The whole story is now old news to the public and no exchange wants anything to do with this.

All the major public sites like twitter, facebook etc (ie the MAIN promotional sites) are now legally committed to delete and ban anyone and anything to do with this. Even news sites are having articles deleted about it.

There is no going back now.

Yeah, and how is that lawsuit thing going, did they ever find those devs that were you know, out of US jurisdiction and stuff? And apparently none of you know what bullet-proof hosting is...

And you don't reckon that Kanye's image rights are protected in countries other than the US?

Bullet-proof hosting is irrelevant. Regardless of whether Kanye can actually shut the exchanges down, it's obvious that the coin can never gain any legitimacy if you're breaking the law by using it. I'm talking about using it to actually buy things, not trading it on some two-bit exchange hosted in the middle of nowhere. People seem to forget that buying stuff is what currency is for...

Exactly. Without proper compliance and legit exchanges involved, there can be no widespread acceptance of such a coin.

The devs could have made this work with a formal announcement of something like Koi coin (with the samuari fish logo) early oh when the C&D was sent to them......if they had complied, the media would still have reported on the new legit name and logo but it seems the devs only ever wanted a quick buck on this one. Then you have the pop-up mining pools, pop-up exchange, multiple names and logos just before launch to obfuscate everything........there was at least 4 different names and 4 different logos going around the sites prior to launch.

This looks like a classic pump and dump. Arrange interviews with the media and create fake hype. Keep changing names/logos to divert intentions and draw in new marks. Entice miners with all kinds of BS offers. Double coin output and do a huge premine at the last minute. Hopefully you've drawn in enough marks to meet the petition criteria to get it on cryptsy now. Dump the premine the second it gets on cryptsy.

Seems like this was the plan with Coinye.
 



And why exactly are you arguing against a coin's existence that you aren't even mining? Do you do this for all coins? I would never imagine myself going into other coins' threads and talking each one down. It seems something more is driving you to feel the need to speak out against a coin. What is that exactly? I'm just curious.

This is the main phenomenon I have yet to understand in this subreddit. I can only imagine it is out of bitterness somehow, the feeling of missing out on something that might offer others prosperity and so the last resort is to shoot down any future it could have to trick your brain into not having remorse for not mining a coin in its early days.
Seriously, that's the only reason why I can imagine people do this.

I'm not talking about that. I'm concerned that such large publicity of what happened here could turn the masses off cryptos in the long run and that's bad for everyone in this thread. I assume everyone here wants to make good returns on coins they're invested in right ? A simple change on this coin early on could've had it on legit exchanges by now with mass publicity behind it........instead the devs went for quick pump and dump and flushed it down the toilet.


You shouldn't be concerned then. 99% of the masses won't know this coin was 0.37% premined, nor would they even care if they did find out and discover the dynamics of pre-mines, instamines, and fair launches. It just won't matter to them, as long as they have Coinyes they are happy.

You should be concerned that while a pre-mine did happen to this coin, it has taken on a life of its own in the media and no longer resembles the coin you are basing your arguments on. The original devs are gone and the community at large is driving this coin forward by utilizing the immense publicity it has and the tight connections it has already formed with various media outlets that will happily announce any new happenings with Coinyes on a whim. It's a no brainer to keep this coin alive as an experiment for cryptocurrencies' perception with the media and the crowds it can attract. There is actually a large market potential it can capture that bitcoin and dogecoin cannot; the pop-culture, trendy, hip-hop, hipster, smartphone using crowd that is at the same time not very computer-tech savvy. It's very obvious to those who realize it and there are devs hard at work behind the scenes because this is an opportunity of a lifetime.

Well I certainly agree with you about the market potential and because this is the first "celebrity crypto" it would've been huge if done right. Imagine if the devs had met them in the middle with a 50-50 split of the premine or something.........250,000,000 coins each. Kanye could be hyping the shit out of the coin by now with the original logo intact. The devs said in an interview that they wanted Kanye to name drop the coin and promote it but they weren't prepared to give him anything. Then they offered him 100,000 coins of their 500,000,000 premine. You're dealing with business people here and that's no way to do business, talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.

For one....98% of every coin released now cannot be used to actually buy things. People are trading it and trying to make money off of it by playing the market. This coin is no different than all the others so stop the bullshit.

As for Kanye dipshits image... do you really think another country is going to give two shits about some narcisistic rapper they most likely never heard of? No. They arent.

AND EVEN if by some miracle all this legal crap DOES in fact stifle the coin... the blockchain is a series of hexidecimals and shit like that. All you would need to do is keep the blockchain and rename the coin to something entirely different.

Why are so many people ignorant to the possibilities of crypto? It cannot be stopped unless EVERYONE wants it to be.

Actually I didn't know about kanye until this coin released   Roll Eyes

This doesn't suprise me. I would say that probably 80% of people in my country wouldn't even have any clue who he is. Outside of  the US he would only be known by hip-hop fans in their teens/early 20s. The amount of people who would even recognise the Southpark cartoon (outside the US) would be about 1% at best.

If any of you followed what went on with Quark coin, it has similarities to this. The Quark community got pissedwhen it found out that a lot of the media stories about Quark were simply press releases and prearranged interviews by the devs. You can very easily create fake media hype that way.

It wouldn't suprise me if this was the case with Coinye West/Conye/COYE/Koye/Koi or whatever the hell this thing is called.

How was this rate established ?

That new coin "Koin" sounds suspiciously like another coin doesn't it ?

They state "Premine: 7,234,659,432 Koin ( Already split up quite well and out of any one entities control.  Most holders of the premine are not even aware they have it! )"

Dogecoin is emerging from the pack so to speak lol  Grin

Seriously though, it's gaining major traction on 4chan and Reddit. Those two places alone have particularly inventive and determined userbases.

Understimate them at your peril.

Coinye is a scam with somewhere in the region of 500,000,00 to 1,333,332,000 coins premined and dumped (for around 8 or 9 satoshi) some 3 days after launch on a pop-up exchange.

Kanye West was just used as a publicity tool to suck in enough miners/buyers so thay they could get enough signatures for a petition limit to get it on cryptsy (then they could dump the premine right away). They were setting up cryptsy petitions within hours of the launch.

The new owners had an opportunity to completely redesign it and comply but it seems they prefer to go down the same dead end as the original devs, straight into the great crypto toilet bowl of history.
