OP is suggesting a coin with practical uses o. This platform, or maybe integrate bitcoins into the system, well considering that BTC is used to pay for evil IP, buy copper membership, make donations if is in a way the tokens coin.

hmmm..not a good idea. There will be too much issues and complication. Bitcointalk is one of the oldest and biggest online forum in the web and no one owns this. There will be war between pioneer and old members here as to who will manage the "business" and members (from newbies to heroes/legendary) will be much demanding since there will be fees and they know admin and moderator are earning from activities here so it will be totally fiasco.

And do you think, members here will just let Theymos or any member here handle the business knowing it can (and absolutely will) earn substantial income? Nope. So it's a bad idea. As you know, things are different when money involve.

I still don't want to even consider this type of token. Aside from the fact that it is useless it is just a waste of time

Dev instead should focus on more crucial matters such as eliminating bots completely out from the community. I mean budgets should go to the security of this forum. Since it has happen already a couple of times that there were data breaches

Wait, kinda confuse..I always thought bitcointalk was created during bitcoin development so technically bitcoin is official coin of bitcointalk so why the need of creating bitcointalk token/coin when we already have one?!

You're right.
Bitcointalk is not backed or fueled by any token or coin.
Yes, it is part of the bitcoin development and was launched to grow and create a community of people interested in bitcoin's development.

There already is one that was created a long time ago but it didn't end well, just another shitcoin wasting away. If done properly under the guidance of theymos it could have been a high cmc listed coin

I am quite surprised this thread has been going on for 4 pages now, while it should have been redirected to the "Wall of fame / shame. Shit posts so bad that they are actually funny" thread immediately.

You are right but in my opinion may be the thread is allowed to go on because of it relevance to educating newbies who really don't have knowledge of bitcointalk as a forum, e.g it purpose and origin and may be thinking since it a big forum for bitcoin and the entire cryptocurrency discussion it should develop a new token not knowing that bitcointalk was primarily developed to serve as a discussion room for the development and promotions of bitcoin as a network all other altcoins discussions are just secondary.

Yah, I kinda think that would be noble. At least even if it's some kind of compensation for the community before it gets listed like what cryptotalksword ( a rival forum) is doing. It won't be a bad idea if BTT imitates that.

That's a good idea I have not yet invested in new coins but will definitely going to invest on this if they planned to create a coin for the community, I think we need a poll for this.

Ahhm, if we create our own then we should not call it "Bitcointalk" .org anymore. That defeat the sole purpose to why this forum was created in the first place. Aside from that this coin that might be added is for sure just going to be on the list of all shitcoins.

Who will support it? probably less than 10% of the BTT population (it includes devs and who voted that this might be a good idea). Badges are enough as an appreciation to those who contributed but a new coin is pointless IMO

1 - not at all correlated to being smart
2 - it is quite centralised the top 0.02% merit holders internally trade over 50% of their merits
3 - not a strong correlation to quality. Who you align yourself with and where you post is much more influential

Merit is useful to the board but it don't think i would like to see a coin distributed in this way.

Pretty sure that was a joke from ias.

However, I think there's also an infinite supply issue too as theymos can make as many as he want Grin

. You're also not allowed to sell the coin and a lot of those types of coins are scams.

What's wrong with the merit (~~coin~~)?

- It's free (if you are smart enough)
- It's decentralized ( except that it's controlled by theymos but and he can reverse transactions )
- It's PoW, you have to post quality stuff to get be rewarded and you are constantly monitored by the others in the pool if you try to cheat.
- You can sent to everyone (following the specific protocol )
- There was an Airdrop in the begging but some people have missed it.
- You can actually trade it (it's not recommend as you may got tagged, but it's possible) for real money Cheesy

Why you need another coin??

1 - not at all correlated to being smart
2 - it is quite centralised the top 0.02% merit holders internally trade over 50% of their merits
3 - not a strong correlation to quality. Who you align yourself with and where you post is much more influential

Trust had lead to the downfall of many. Unreasonable trust without finding out or questioning Is the most reason why people fall victim of scam. Newbies has a lot to learn from being very observant and careful

Never clicked any of the links, as I thought that his account was compromised.

I have seen that announcement pretty late. The ICO should have ended, but the timer was (is!) still running.
It writes "invest until June 15 for 25% discount", it's almost December and the button is active.
Just click the Buy now button. No virus, nothing compromised. It's actually a great initiative to promote "read before you buy" and "if it's too good to be true, probably is a scam".
For the lazy ones, it goes to this website at the end, website that I think it's owned by SEC.

I saw it in the very begging. I knew theymos wont support any ICOs, he already had the restriction for them to advertise on the forum, suddenly he posts a shitcoin ICO and pinned it on the top in the Ann section. There was something really fishy, and no matter how much I trust theymos I did't have the courage to click any of those links.
Later when I got his message from theymos_away, then I went trough the site.
No doubt it is a really good example for the newbies, how to stay on the safe side and not being scammed.

Bitcointalk launching it's own coin would be stupid. This site is here to promote Bitcoin! You wouldn't even be able to discuss the "bitcointalkcoin" on a majority of the forum if it were it's own coin.

Yeah many know about this but OP seeing something for the forum. This is a lot of money if it will be realized so which means that the coin to be launched is not all about the utilization but for the crowd's fund to be used and invested. Just like bitcoin now that started to low value up to now that has high value.
