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

[Takuya]

wow you guys got millions of this currency? Just mined 8k so far

[Euphonious]

Coinye was dead as soon when Kanye, pressed charges.

Exactly. I don't know why people can't see that as soon as Kanye's lawyers got involved, Coinye was finished.

How can the coin possibly have a long term future when any business which accepts it or facilitates trading of it is going to be sued?

[cthulu1]

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...

[Euphonious]

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...

Yea, I heard that after he gets done with suing people he cant find over a coin that he cant stop, Kanye will go on to sue anyone/thing with the name "Kanye" and/or "West" and any possible derivative of those two words.

And how many of these other pump/dump coins are actually used to buy anything, aside from their use as a speculative asset? You're saying that in order for any of these to have value they need to be used to purchase goods? Please now, come back when you know a thing or two about how this all works. Matter of fact is, all you have to do and look through this thread to see people who clearly do not give a fuck about any of that and are still making money.

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.

Which it already has been done, or did you miss the link to that shit Koin thread? If you missed it, be glad.

[FredFlintstone]

I thought the whole idea behind crypto currency is to show TPTB and their bankers the middlefinger. That narcistic rapper is also part of that Elite group.  Do we let them win?

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.

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.

Was that anything other than a plug for that god-awful clone coin that someone literally just changed the logo for, same blockchain, same everything? My my it must be nice to be so ignorant. And what are "legit" exchanges to you exactly? Because from anyones' standpoint that's made money in cryptos the answer is (spoiler) any fucking place that will pay out. Clearly if you don't understand that playing with cryptos is like the wild west of forex, then this is not a hobby you should pursue.

The only question you need to really be asking is did people make money from it and that answer is yes. Not just the devs. Lots of people. Maybe thousands. Probably over half of them in 20 different countries and who knows how many do all the internet activity behind proxies and VPNs. I'm sure it would be just a walk in the park to go and sue all of them AMIRITE?

Same here, i don't think we had been missing out on much either

change the name and just carry on i guess.

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.

[connycoin]

Hey everybody,

Sry for my broken engl., but i've got to say something!

I'm one of these "stupid" miners who keep Coinye alive, and i'm come from the EU. And i have to ask the coinye haters:"To hell, who is Kanye"!?
I read the hold threat, and i can't und understand you're probs!? This coin is the first one after bitcoin, litecoin that have a lot of media attention that we could use.

Stop fill this threat with you're personal thinking etc., and let us (the one, that believe in this coin) work...

The first ten replay's to this post, can send me a pm and get tommorow evening (when i'm home again) 5k COINYE for free!


So long...

Connycoin [EU] ;-)

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.

So if this new crypto called KOIN that i think is lame shares the exact same blockchain as Coinye, you could fill your Coinye wallet with Koin? I really dont see why anyone invented that

It's just a redesign and renaming of the wallet. The whole idea is just to avoid the lawsuit.
