If the real supporters would come out now to support the cause it would be a really BIG help! I'm going to reach out to some people in other circles to see if they can help.

 well, i sent a mill FUNK to the faucet fund, i will see abt doing that more often ...

Thanks for that!

I made a remix for currently one of the biggest acts in South African music: https://soundcloud.com/simon-segfault/beatenberg-chelsea-blakemore-the-cypherfunks-remix. Got the separates a while back from them. Friendly guys. Enjoy.

Cheers! Going to find some time to finish a new song today. Amped.

I have a suggestion, contact Derek Sivers and tell him about Cypherfunks.

http://sivers.org/

He's a musician, and a successful music/technology entrepreneur, and I think he is a 'good' person too.

He started CD Baby and wrote a very entertaining book, "Anything you want", about his experiences and what he learnt.

If you contact Derek you might be able to get him involved in Cypherfunks, or at least get some advice from him about how to progress this project.

Good luck!!

Hi Guys

I might be missing the plot. Songcoin is aiming to make a currency for the artists to free them from the shackles of the music labels and corporations.
How can we achieve the same or better? I'm worried we lacking in that department? Supply and demand. There is a demand for a tailored currency for musicians. But I'm worried we are getting carried away with the open source band thing and forgetting about what song-coin is trying to achieve. We must cover all those bases. Good info? Or Have I lost the plot? Come the future I want to be buying songs and cds from famous artists with cypherfunks. These guys want to get paid for their hit-songs. Lets pay them in a lucrative currency. Im worried song-coin will beat us at this because focusing to much on the soundcloud band for all thing.

Hey man. Good points.

I think there is value in a coin that's specifically focused towards musicians (and not just an open-source band). However, it is difficult to sustain such ideas (and that's only my personal opinion), because it is seen as a way to kick-start a currency, not equity in an idea.

Making a coin for 'musicians', ie songcoin, tunecoin or whatever, feels more like an attempt to piggy-back on musicians and the whole "altcoin" movement: a get-rich-quick scheme. I wanted something that was more defined, and less vague. And that is what happened.

But, at the end of the day (and I keep stressing this). This is only my viewpoint. This is decentralized. All of it. Musicians are a part of this and CAN be used as a coin for musicians. . I want it to.

Pegasus007, what suggestions do you have?

I'm happy to say I now was able to exchange some FUNK for BTC which is good news. This means I can now use FUNK as a real currency. I'm thinking of making paper wallet tickets (cold storage FUNK coins) and selling them (or gifting them) for fiat money, and people can then spend the FUNK coin on music merch like digital downloads, donations, tickets etc. So if you are a musician or band you can earn FUNK coins, and if you are a fan you can support us with FUNK too!

Sweet. Check out nox's paper wallet generator. It works perfectly (maybe just needs an update on the graphics). A friend printed some FUNK and gave it away at a local South African music festival. https://github.com/n00bsys0p/bitcoinpaperwallet/tree/cypherfunk

nox implemented support for Cypherfunk 

Brilliant!

I first heard the idea from Will Pangman at Bitcoin Milwaukee:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=iE7Gr8RYe…_detailpage#t=465

1. Make paper wallets (like at bitcoinpaperwallet.com/)
2. Sell (or give away) the paper wallets (for fiat money or BTC/LTC) as tickets for fundraisers, concerts, merchandise etc!

I really like the idea of having a festival where people can buy the paper wallets as tickets to get into the festival (in fiat or BTC/LTC), and once inside the festival they can buy merchandise with the paper wallets (food, CD's, t-shirts etc..)

I can already imagine a menu with prices in FUNK.

Belgian Waffle: 20,000,000 FUNK

I made that number up, but you can see what I mean.

Totally. Been talking to a friend on doing something locally akin to this.

This coin  idea is good ，It's a pity that 。

A pity?

Update. Another million has been donated to a faucet bounty. 3.1 million up for grabs.

What is the faucet addy? I'll drop a bit in there for you mate

If you had your FUNK on Cryptokk (like I did), well they are all gone now.
From the website!!

Yesturday one of our server got attacked by the rootkit Azazel (http://blackhatlibrary.net/Azazel).
This happened straight away after installing some new coins. The malware was into a daemon, compiled from the github sources.
The hacker started to withdraw funds on this servers. Not a lot maybe,
but enought to make us unable to pay the 4 other servers this month, because we should refund the customers.
I was alone on this project, all was doing well.
I never received a complain message for any issue.. Pro in security... I can't believe an open-source soft got me. Nice done.
Had the night to decide what to do.
Spent heavy time on this, was hoping to continue for a while.
I'm leaving with all your coins. It's even not enought to refund myself.
I lost time and money. Cryptokk wasn't just about money, did it by passion, wanted to use my skills to help and provide great services.
I can't take the risk to continue and make the things worst IRL.
I'm very sorry.

Here it is: CMshf9ZVrYoBPdjnsJ7zSgVFcfEZui85qw

Going to talk to altcoinfaucet to set one up: https://twitter.com/altcoinfaucet

It requires like 2.5$/month to host a faucet with them. So I'm going to suggest that if we pay the bounty with him it can be hosted for several months I reckon.

[simondlr]

2 new interviews lined up! yay! Coming soon.

[simondlr]

Compiling new wallets.

A bit busy today (have to rush off to graduation soon).

Small non-mandatory updates:

1) New alert system.
2) Heartbleed ssl fix.
3) Host of new checkpoints for the blockchain.
4) Typo fixes.

Will get it out probably tomorrow.
