[ANN][KARM] Karmacoin - New Initiatives - Helping People Do Good

[ShawnLeary]

Firstly I don't see or feel any attachment of karma with an elephant!
I know its hindu buddhist crap, but if you Wikipedia the word karma, the pic should be a lotus flower or endless knot sort of thing.
Also the motto doing good is good, isn't karma. Its more like what goes around comes around or doing good things returns good things, or the law of cause and effect, etc.
You need to get this shit worked out!

Good point.  I see the elephant more like a currency symbol than having some deep meaning that only Monks in Tibet could decipher.
I am not attached.  Suggestions?

We need something simple.  Lets face it..not a lot of people will have time to get the elephant, dharma wheel, or lotus flower references.  A few people here have been saying "If you google this.." or "If you studied..." ..etcetc.  An investor or potential user DO NOT GIVE A F\_/CK about learning the deep meaning of the logo.  They only care about whether the coin has potential to become more mainstream/useful/attract more users/money.

The cute cartoony elephant was pretty cool.  Look at Doge and copy the fuck out of it. 

It really had a lot of potential to be a great logo.

which one?

This one is excellent as well!  Cute sells!

George Takei has also started a coin about helping human rights.  There is plenty of room for coins with a mission, and karma is the universal language of doing what is right for others in hopes that it will come back around.  

I like Mr Sulu but his coin has a very narrow focus of supporting rights for the LGBT community.... its also widely open to being abused by ASICS because its based on SHA256
and if you want a bad logo design look at takeicoin... (but I'd still mine it if I had a spare asic because its a worthy cause)

I agree Karma is more universal its non denominational and has no other agenda other than doing good... so people can do whatever good they like and still have a chance at being supported...
I would like to see the Karma Coin foundation be formed at some point as a non profit organization.. I would gladly join

+ 1 for supporting an elephant in need...

Yea TAK coin looks like something me and my daughter could have put together!  Lol. If we rescued an Elephant in a Zoo would be cooler.  Maybe help pay for a trip back to the jungle.  Would be awesome.  Or we could contribute to a charity and pay for a child's surgery.  Screw sending a hopeless bobsled team to their slaughter

Every one is forgetting about a few basic questions, what's the purpose of Karma coin and where we can use it...? What distinguish this from every other billion coin...?

 this coin has a wonderful meaning. it is to pay some one internet money when they do something nice. Bitcoin and scryptcoins are still new. But soon you will have a blooming of interent where everyone will have a wallet and they will do stuff on the interent and people will pay them

think of youtube and their pays. think of add for you website.


Karmacoin will be focused on tipping the ones that do good things
. Doing good is good

I just sent this note to  eric@idausa.org. I will let you know when I hear from him.

These are the types of initiatives I need the community to bring to us so that we can garner support.
Let's get focused on short sprints of high impact opportunities that we can focus the value of our Karma on.

Hi Eric,

I read about your efforts in the news and am interested in helping.
I represent a community that has created a virtual currency (much like Bitcoin) called Karmacoin.
We are interested in supporting your cause.  I was wondering what we can do to help
financially?  Do you have a specific initiative that we can support so that  you can achieve your result?

Very truly yours,
DEV

Although he is known by many attributes, Ganesha's elephant head makes him easy to identify.[6] Ganesha is widely revered as the remover of obstacles,[7] the patron of arts and sciences and the deva of intellect and wisdom.[8] As the god of beginnings, he is honoured at the start of rituals and ceremonies. Ganesha is also invoked as patron of letters and learning during writing sessions.[9

i just bought a bucket load at 2 satoshi... booya!

[jtpeters]

I've done branding for Unilever, Proctor & Gamble, and some of the biggest names in consumer products, have done PR for the biggest biotech firm, and this is the only logo I've seen that can take us above 20 satoshi (the top one, not the bottom one):

https://i.imgur.com/RLwHMIf.jpg

It isn't the best, but the only brandable one I've come across. It's simple, bright, cheery, and embodies the concept of what I think we're wanting to do.

The problem now is that we're wasting time deciding upon something that is quite easy.

1) design something

2) test it with your market

3) re-vamp design(s) based on comments of your TARGET MARKET

4) roll out new branding

We stop at #2, thinking that we don't need it. But where would any entity be without market research?

Hey jpeters, have you gotten feedback on this one?

Not an official survey. I would need to have a few logos for that. I chose that one based on my own experience. It's about 60% of where a good logo should be, but for this purpose it's good enough I think. The other logo (above, with the elephant) is ok but needs more color and less busy-ness.

I think if we do this then people will associate "the coin with an elephant on it" as "the coin that helps elephants". We'd be painting ourselves into a corner.

There are so many initiatives around the world that we can help in. See http://www.globalgiving.org/

Here's my theory about the price for Karma today...

And it has everything to do with Auroracoin. Mintpal is the main exchange for Karmacoin. It seems that other coins that were heavily-traded before (like MINT, or even BC) are now down. People seem to be selling their positions in other coins (and deciding to hold off on purchasing) in order to get in on the Auroracoin train.

That's my armchair theory, at least.

Probably but if so this is only small part of the story.

It is in fact the obvious cause. The good forecast about this is auroracoin is no where near worth it's current value, it's artificially inflated by having less than 1% of the actual coins in circulation, so that 1 billion market cap is effectively less than 10 million (probably much lower because the value itself has been inflated by the artificial cap). Imagine what will happen when all that cap will be released at once.
