So, we have Devcoin, which is for any kind of writer out there. Porncoin, for people that like to watch and write about porn. FeatherCoin, for easy mining BitBar, for consolidated wealth ASICoin, for ASIC owners...
Where is the coin for artists? And since this is the internet, let's call it Anime Coin (The most popular art there is on the internet). There should be a coin were 10%+ of the mining goes to making an open source art page. 1. So artists can get recognized 2. So people can have cool free art to use.

Is there a website I can post art to? And I still haven't found a website for Bitcoin that is anything like Devtome...

DeVCoin is not for writers, it is for free open source things, including hardware, music, images, everything that is free open source.
Make free open source paintings or sculptures etc and presumably they would be eligible.
Its about the thing being free open source, not which of the arts (writing, dance, music, etc) it was created by or consists of.

Devcoin isn't just for writers. If there were an effective way for devcoin to reward artists and musicians, that would be a better solution than a new coin.

I have a whole library of images to post, I just can't figure out how image posting works on Devcoin. And I still feel there should be an open source picture/art catelog that earns coins. And how would you get paid for dancing? And what do you mean a sculpture would be "eligible" eligible for what?

Someone could make a free open source sculpture, for example they could release 3-D printer files enabling a 3-D printer to create the sculpture...
Similarly someone could publish choreography, maybe for some kind of 3-D robot dancers system, a souped up (way up!) version of the little ballerinas some music boxes used to have on them; a magnetic floor with little dancer figurines on it or something. Or just a choreography in text or symbols that human dancers understand and can dance based on.

Do you need to know code to do that, or could you actually just make a sculpture and somehow get it made into a file? And what about beats, could people get paid for making beats? If we had open source beats, that would open up so many things. People would be using it for all kinds of music, then re-using it for remixes, it would be awesome.

You could do so much more than just beats, I expect.
Supposedly a lot of the sound-samples or sound-generating algorithms people use to make music are proprietary, that is their excuse for not giving out source code to songs/music when they pretend to make it open source like when someone makes a soundtrack for a game like Battle for Wesnoth they don't provide the actual individual instruments or notes that they mixed along with the instructions for mixing them, they just give you the end-result, which is basically "compiled", not source code.
So if instruments, sound samples and mixers were all free open source, then in principle musicians could release the actual source-code from which tracks are compiled. Of course we might then see that really the excuse that the instruments are proprietary is just an excuse and that the artists actually have no intention of releasing source code, but at least they won't have the excuse that their tools are proprietary so as to try to pretend its not they themselves that are deliberately trying to avoid open-sourcing the compiled/collated soundtracks.

See, I'm not talking about code. Most people making beats can't code. If I make a beat on a beatmaker I buy, how would I get a code from it?

If anyone wants to help make this coin, I feel like it could work. And we could make it like silver to Devcoins gold, therefor bumping the price of Devcoin if this coin gets a good audience... Which, if you can earn it making videos, beats & taking pictures/making art. I'm sure it will have a good audience.

You can just record the noise you make, and open source the recording.
It is just like when you make a picture and upload the picture to devtome.
You could probably upload sound files of some kind to devtome for that matter.
It doesn't matter what you make that is free open source, devcoin is suitable, the only reason we have not so far started "buying" noises with devcoin shares is that for the coins to have any value they need to be used to buy things that could somehow bring in income, and there probably isn't much income in a bunch of randomly generated noise.
Come up with some good music people will pay to hear, make it free open source, and probably you could get shares for it.
In fact I do not know what happened about certain announcements I thought Unthinkingbit was going to make a long time ago, maybe there has been some delay/problem in securing all of the domains he wanted to secure before making the announcements, since he didn't want to make announcements then have domain squatters go out and buy all the domaisn that would logically be useful for putting the announced stuff into effect...

1. How? 2. I'm sure people told Dr. Dre that when he was making shitty beats too. Then Tupac and Eazy started using those beats, and now he's a billionaire and they're dead. 3. If you knew that, then why did you say that randomly generated noises (which I had early specified as "beats" ) wouldn't make money. And I don't mean music, the music gets made later. We just need open source beats, that is what musicians use to build on. 4. I hope that happens, that would be awesome.
