OH BOY HERE WE GO!: Kanye West has his own crypto-currency now.

[quote]If you couldn’t get behind Bitcoin, the peer-to-peer digital cryptocurrency that’s as volatile as your weird uncle when he’s 3 glasses of gin deep, perhaps Coinye West is more your style. Like Dogecoin, the digital currency stamped with the glorious face of the Internet’s favorite Shibu Inu, the soon to debut Coinye West is piggybacking off of the success of Bitcoin and creating its very own unregulated currency that they hope Kanye himself will get behind.
“Our goal with Coinye West is to make it easier for people to use cryptocurrency,” the creators told Vice. “Right now, it’s kind of a dark art for people to mine coins.” To mine a Bitcoin, users must have an elaborate computer setup called a “mining rig” that will solve increasingly complicated mathematical problems in order to create new Bitcoins.
“We plan on releasing a front end to the ‘mining’ programs called[B] CoinyeMiner[/B],” the creators added. “It will make things a lot more simple and people will be able to make their own coins. We’re working round-the-clock to get everything going as smoothly as possible.”
[B]Coinye’s creators say it’s a more mainstream cryptocurrency than Dogecoin or Bitcoin and they’re hoping it can be used to buy concert tickets, among other things.[/B]
Coinye West debuts January 11. Meanwhile, we eagerly await the creation of KimKoin.[/quote]

Like, Dogecoin sounds better than that!
I bet you have to have a legit Kanye CD in the drive before it'll start mining.
Like Kanye's ego already isn't at critical levels.

Don't fucking mine Coinye West like you did Dogecoins you idiots

"Let's make a currency with someone's name in it, maybe they'll be so flattered we can use it to buy stuff from him!"
All the purpose this and dogecoin and all of them have is to show how retarded the entire idea of it is at the core.

Nah, just fuck unregulated deflationary currencies.
Maybe I'm a hopeless cynic but this is overwhelmingly hilarious in a "not laughing out loud" way.
Oh look the new altcoin of the week. Time to pump and dump.
I hope someone does something against this virtual coin bullshit.
And then AMD is going to cash crop with "Kanye West" series video cards, and retake to the CPU Market. :v:
They could have called it Coin West.
They had the fucking chance and they blew it.

They missed he chance to name it Gold Digger, those fools.
Someone should release a program that takes some parameters (Name, block time, max. mineable coins) and patches the Bitcoin source code to create that altcoin.
Someone who isn't me preferably.

We need to make snoopcoins to counter kanye koins.

[QUOTE=Durrsly;43390528]no one coin should have all that power[/QUOTE]
A good choice, as Kanye probably already thinks his face should be on currency.
