For immediate release: The 1st Artist coin to be launched on the Bitcoin network has started today!
Now, Bitcoin users for the first time can purchase a user-created asset backed by a musical artist. Tatiana Moroz is a New Jersey born, singer/songwriter who brought Bitcoin to music lovers everywhere, with her single 'the Bitcon song.'
Check out her performance at the Bitcoin conference in Argentina in 2013:

Please do not send donations from HOSTED wallets ( Coinbase, Bitstamp.. etc) Attention Tatiana Coin Backers: Every day of the Tatiana Coin campaign, 100,000 TC are be allocated to backers based on their donations during that 24hr period (Pacific timezone). At the end of the event, there will be 3,000,000 Tatiana Coins in existence that will be distributed to those donors. You may donate in Bitcoin (BTC) or Counterparty (XCP) - Donations and values are based on their US dollar value at the end of the day. There will only ever be 3,000,000 TATIANACOIN (TC), they will all be distributed to donors within a week of the end of the campaign at which point the asset issuance will be LOCKED. Future token based fundraising done by Tatiana will come from selling TC that she recieves back from owners of TC who use it to buy rewards from her.
BEFORE YOU DONATE:
TatianaCoin is a User Created Asset built on top of CounterParty which is built on top of Bitcoin. Please visit
http://counterwallet.co to create a free Multi-Wallet which is able to control and spend Bitcoin, XCP, Tatianacoin and any number of other User Created Assets built on Counterparty. While it is technically possible to donate from a normal Core Bitcoin, Blockchain.info or Armory Wallet client your wallet will not be able to see the TatianaCoins we send back until its private key has been imported into CounterWallet - Save yourself the headache and generate a free wallet at
http://counterwallet.co Please do NOT donate from wallets where you're not able to control your keys (such as a withdrawl from an exchange) - If you've already done this please contact us
If you don't have Bitcoin or XCP and want to participate, you can acquire Bitcoins at
http://localbitcoins.com or
http://coinbase.com. Once you've acquired them, send your desired donation amount to your new CounterWallet Address (Make sure to write down the simple twelve word passphrase, it IS your private key!) and once it's in your Counterwallet, you should send small portions of it each day.
Because we allocate 100,000 TC per day not matter how many donations come in, it means that some days you'll get more TC for your donation than others. The worst strategy is to send your entire donation on one day because while it might give you a very large share of that days allocation, it's only 100,000 of the total 3,000,000 that'll be given out. It makes much more sense to donate every day for two weeks which will give you a smaller portion of a much larger pool - 1.4 million. If you're a large donor (1BTC total and up) you're encouraged to contact our VIP concierge service that will manage your daily send if you don't want to (for a small fee)
So as we've mentioned a few times, this is a big experiment. We have a crazy pricing model because we don't know what a fair price for the first Artistcoin is and want your help in figuring it out. We love large donations, but we'd rather you get the most bang for your buck within the rules of the fundraiser than give in one chunk as an inefficient if altrustic gesture.
Thanks for participating, and for the feedback - it's been very instructive, please keep it coming!

------
Some great questions and answers so far:
Will it be possible to exchange Tatianacoin to BTC?
Yes! As soon as the campaign closes we're going to start distributing TATIANACOIN to donors. It's a real token, so you'll be able to immediately trade them on the Counterparty Distributed Exchange.
It may also be traded on one or more centralized exchanges, we're taking it slow but there has been interest because of the unique value proposition of this type of coin.
POOL?
There is no pool because TATIANACOIN is a user created asset built on Counterparty which is built on Bitcoin, so a TC address IS a Bitcoin address and it can hold and spend both from the same wallet. Because there is no mining (since the bitcoin miners do that work) there is no pool, so the way you can get some TC is by donating BTC or XCP to Tatiana's project (making her third album and more) - You can find out more at
http://www.coinpowers.com/project.aspx?id=11155I think you should add XCP based, IPO , letstalkbitcoin full support....
It's not an IPO, I agree they should add it is XCP based and there is no "letstalkbitcoin" full support, rather Adam B. Levine who also is the editor of Let's Talk Bitcoin, is fully supportive and has been advising the project from day one. The idea should succeed because its a good idea, not because of me or LTB.
