JaroknCoin is a semi-decentralized content token based on Counterparty, akin to (and inspired by) TatianaCoin, although the approach taken is very different. JaroknCoin represents a stake in the authoring success and content created by myself, JAmes-RObert KNight (JAROKN capitalised in name for emphasis). JaroknCoin may buy commissions of shortstories, poems and other written works, while they also represent a stake in both the financial success (via dividend-like payouts) and the collective Intellectual Property, which by the way, is Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike licensed.
I initially started this coin back in November 2014 and made many beginner's mistakes, such as selling some JRKC while a giveaway was going on, (although the people involved were interested in purchasing more), or accidentally mucking up a dividend even worse when the feature bugged out. After a fair amount of time went by with next to no feedback apart from giveaway entries, I silently put the project on hiatus, after many issues happened with my life in general.
I am now back and ready to write more stories, and want people to join The Jarokn Club (A nickname for my community). I hope to be able to learn more about crypto and offer more stuff other than just writing. Did you know
I was once a musician? I'm even on
iTunes, and I could sell my music if people wished.
All in all, I'm willing to create a community around my stories, my music, whatever people want, I have few rules on commissions (most common sense) and I will endeavour to deliver on them as soon as I can, so enjoy and STAY AWESOME!
Original PostI already wrote most of the introduction on a
thread at Let's Talk Bitcoin, so I'll put a slightly edited version of that in a quote below.
Hey all, I've been a casual follower of the Bitcoin space since around 2012 but really got into it around 2013 when Counterwallet was released, since then I've been very interested in Bitcoin 2.0 and have since acquired an EARLY token, and various orher things.
I am a hobbyist author, however, most of my writing is either lost to the ages or on NationStates (A nation building game) as Role Plays. So I thought I'd consider making more writing and publicizing it, but where, and how was the main question.
I mulled it over for a while, and had DeviantART earmarked for a while, but was wondering how to monetize it, while also fostering a thriving and happy community. I've always believed in Creative Commons and copyleft, as well as giving a share of my earnings back to the community, and wasn't sure how, until it hit me. Counterparty has dividend features, and can be used as a currency!
So I decided to issue 1 billion JaroknCoin (JRKC), and sign up for DeviantART under the name Jarokn. I have used this nickname since I was about 12 in various places, most since long forgotten. I know that not many others use it, although it is taken on Facebook and Twitter, but I can use something else on those, and I already do.
So, anyway, rather than attempting to explain it all here, I made two posts on DeviantART. One for my commission and request rules and prices, and one for JaroknCoin itself. The links are at the bottom of this post.
For those wanting a quick summary, basically, the tokens are used to buy commissions and receive a distributed 10% share of every commission purchase. Eventually, I want to have an access token here for a forum and society.
Anyway, I'm in the process of working on some writing examples, in the meantime, I have links.

http://jarokn.deviantart.com/journal/Commissions-and-Requests-Info-491936090I have a giveaway going at
http://jarokn.deviantart.com/journal/JaroknCoin-Early-Bird-Giveaway-492314817 which is for the early birds that get in quick, and there is also two sell orders with 100m JRKC on the DEX, one for 10 XCP and one for 50,000 LTBCOIN. The LTBCOIN will go towards a token society on Let's Talk Bitcoin, so people can chat in a tokenholders forum, and the XCP will be reserved for a logo creation bounty.
So, that's basically it. I have a few examples of my writing on the above linked DeviantART page, and I'm uploading a few of the songs I've written back when I was a musician as I speak, so hopefully it all works out well.
