Coiyne's media attention is exploding but being mined by equiv. ~1900 R9 290s

[neuroMode]

1.53Ghash/s NETWORK divided by ~800Khash/s per R9 290 (roughly) = A measly ~1900 video cards mining Coiyne right now.

I understand the original developers sucked ass but they made this monster that is gaining ridiculous attention in the media by itself. The original devs are gone now and a new team is taking over to continue the coin.

Just take a moment to see the national attention it is getting:

IT'S ON FUCKING TMZ.

All of this and the coiyne is being kept alive by a few hundred miners.

Doesn't that seem a little underwhelming?

If anyone was sitting on the sidelines waiting to get involved with developing a coin, this is a golden opportunity. Unless you think Kayne will sue you to oblivion. Will a celeb honestly be able to stop a coin easier than a government can?

No, a celebrity won't be able to stop a coin, BUT their legal team can stop exchanges and merchants from interacting with those coins.  Why would I want to put a coin on my exchange when I will be sued? Why deal with those headaches when there's 70 other coins I can entertain without the risk of a lawsuit?

Just got picked up by USA today.

KAYNE STILL DOESN'T FUCKING GET IT.

This is like living a real life South Park episode.

[hastalavista]

southpark guys should make another episode how kanye tries to stop coinye - the legacy of fishsticks

[Scribbles646]

The legal issues attached to this only bring bad attention, and legal liability to the community at large, boycott its use and users.

[cryptohunter]

decentralised exchanges needed.

If one retarded asswipe celeb's greedy little manager can put a stop to a currency, just think what a group of intelligent individuals with some real power could do.

[daytrader420]

The network hashrate has dropped from 5gh/s from the beginning, as well as the difficulty has crumbled.

Dev's dumped their COYE and services now too.

So yea, I would say this is blowing up. But in a different manner.
