Coinye West - Don't f**k with this coin

[guybrushthreepwood]

LOL...

Kanye says "Cut that shit out"...

This can't be real. How can you sue for this shit?

Use of name,
Use of image,
Claiming support from Kanye,
TELLING PPL THEY CAN BUY CONCERT TICKETS WITH IT. <--- Pure Fraud.

Bad attempt at pump and dump scheme over the back of a "popicon" by a little music company.
Dev deserves to be sued with this coin in it's current state.

It's called Coinye West, not Kanye West and uses a caricature image of him. Did he sue South Park as well?

It's clearly a parody, which is also protected under the American Constitution.

And I like his music, but he's one of the biggest tools and ego maniacs on the planet and needs to get over himself and learn to take a joke.

This  coin really protected under the american constitution under parody ?

[gielbier]

without a disclaimer? No it's not.
Remember SouthPark?


Also the direct "buy-off" for Kanye would not make it a parody.

[Trafficlearn]

So many lessons to be learned over this coin....i dont know which one to choose

[delphs]

here's the thing... you don'T see Ron Paul suing people over his coin, do you? LOL

Bitch's being a brat asshole... like the cryptocurrency is so main stream that this could ever affect his shitty reputation more then the stupid shit he already does to himself.

Kanye can never take a joke. Can they even sue over this? It's not even using his name.

Honestly, the truth is, even if at the end of the day it isn't a copyright infringement, will any business want to take the chance and go into a lengthy legal battle over the adoption of a cryptocurrency with a gayfish on the front of the logo?

Think about the children! What is the mother going to say when their kid ask what that *points at gayfish* is? I can't wait to see the sign that says "We accept Coinye"

Who is Kanye West anyway?? I prefer Coinye West at least it has a value.

Parodies are, you can even sometimes get away with copyright infringement under educational purposes sometimes. This coin isn't even using his name, but a parody of it, so it should be fine. Kanye is just being a twat as usual and throwing his toys out of the pram. I hope the coinmakers resist legal pressure and I doubt he has a legal ground to stand on in court. Hope he loses millions because of this.

[guybrushthreepwood]

I might start rapping under the name Kanye Pest and see if he sues me.

I support this.

[skizzneena]

I would think controversy is what we want? Its hilarious, and I hope Kanye pulls an OJ and spends his entire fortune on legal fees.

Yeah, Kanye definitely has no sense of humor... I'm sure he can sue for it because simply because he has the financial ability to pursue it as far as it needs to go.

honestly, can anyone really be that stupid AND that successful?
I think he does this shit on purpose, to bring himself attention and sell CDs. pretty ingenious if you ask me.

the coinye west makers are anonymous, how do we know he didn't set all this up himself?

So even worse.

BTW: Where I can check how much coins are mined so far and to track difficulty increase, network power, etc...?

Not sure yet, but keep an eye on http://coinmarketcap.com/ and http://cryptoranking.com/ as I'm sure they'll be added soon.

[Scribbles646]

CoinYe West will be a total joke, it will never be worth anything.  Angela's one-eyed cat could create a better crypto currency with it's good eye shut.

I wouldn't trust Kanye to be a celery farmer.

Doge was a total joke and look what happened.

The multipools are STILL mining it.

I totally agree. DOGE is indeed a good example of a coin that was in the beginning promising but was laughed with and make a very nice progress
The media attention for Coinye can also not be misunderstood.

I have my mining system ready for Coinye.

Yea doge is doing awesome...
