Spiral,
You seriously think it's a bad idea to launch a coin cause it only has 1.4 billion members and leaves out the rest? Are you kidding? Ever hear of billion dollar niche markets? I'm ok with 1 million members and I'm awfully happy with 1.4 billion Catholics.
And what, Apple and Amaon have to appease their shareholders you say, but the NFL, or the Catholic Church have no need for money or better supply, logistics and marketing? That's just absurd.
.... Maybe I should be clearer since common sense is lost here.
The "Catholic Church" isn't a corporation. You can't give money to it. You can give money to specific sub-sect, i.e. churches. Who gets to decide which it goes to? Which causes? Which churches?
1.4 Billion what? Miners? You're assuming every single Catholic is or will be a miner. By that stretch of the imagination, there are 7 Billion miners, counting non-catholics, limiting your numbers by 80% and dwindling the value of your 'righteous coin'.
Charity is a good cause, giving people garbage is littering. You want to help your faith, by all means, do so, give them something that actually has some value. Some coins have value and are non-discriminating in who they can be mined by. If you want to help out, you can convert those coins to cash through charity donations and give to said churches. Creating a coined that is failed from the start will help nobody.
Even easier: Make a pool with a 25% fee that gives all proceeds to charity. Same effect, less failure.
