Coinye [KOI/COYE] You can't kill a gayfish.

[galbros]

<coinyewest> just got the most hardcore cease and desist letter ive seen yet
<coinyewest> i gotta change the coin a little its just gonna be coinye not coinye west
<coinyewest> and i gotta take his face off
<coinyewest> im gonna put this nig with a fish body
<coinyewest> theyre gonna come after me anyway
<coinyewest> but i gotta at least change it a little
<coinyewest> lol


sometime later....

<newslave|afk> i'm officially getting out of the coinye west thing. they'll have to find another dev. i'm not screwing around with a big legal firm after they sent a cease and desist letter to coinyewest, even if i do believe we have reasonable grounds to stand on.
<newslave|afk> i'll stick around the channel, but i'm out of the project.

Thanks for this.  It looks like the world's biggest douche has crimped the biggest pump and dump coin of all time.  It will be interesting to see if they can pull it off under the new regime.

^ seriously. he must be 16 years old. his language is immature.

i don't really understand the grounds against the coin though. the 'face' could be anybody. its not like its a photograph of him. do political cartoonists get sued for drawing celebrates? what about all the crap all over the internet that makes fun of celebrates?  eg. http://perezhilton.com/  name is play on paris hilton, yet a successful gossip site.

I hate that Kanye shitbag satan worshipper. With that said, I'm so fucking greedy I might give it some hash power.

edit: Oh, it's dead. Good, I hope the shitbag also dies.

I would imagine something called "Coinye" could be considered parody. I'm sure he wasn't thrilled with being depicted as a gay fish and his wife(to be) as a hobbit, but he can't do shit about it.

"Underground" coin in the making? 

[scarface]

meanwhile im stockpiling doge ty coinye for allowing me to get cheap doge

[bigtimejunkie]

Kanye can go F*cK himself if he has a problem with this coin. And especially the copyright firms! hONESTLY they can't do anything about the coin. Kanye doesnt own the name Coinye or the name West. Also the face on the coin is just a black dude with sunglasses and a shape up who just so happens to look like him. I'm pretty sure dev if you put somewhere a disclaimer that you are in no way trying to impersonate Kanye West then you should be fine. These big time legal firms just love to shove around the little guy

[koprobo]

Hahahaha so moron. Maybe dev should officially change topic name and confirm this news?

I agree, the image on the coinye west homepage is now also slightly changed, so will be very hard to start a case against.
What is more important, is the fact that the coin already got a lot of media attention over the last months, which will not go unnoticed when the coin launches on January 11th.

I'll definitely be mining this coin with all resources.
