Coinzen was bought for an all crypto forum. The first person who makes an all crypto forum which can send and receive email:
1) To be able to send a message to an email address, and receive email in the forum inbox. In other words, a forum message to unthinkingbit would go to my forum account, and a message to
[email protected] would go to my gmail account.
will get twelve shares, plus two million devcoins, and the domain holders will direct their domain to the forum. Mark, Jasin and Emfox hold the .org, .com, and .net domains in trust for the forum. There are few short, pronounceable, completely available coin domains remaining. Jasin and I searched through many domain names to find coinzen.
There will also be smaller bounties, probably around six shares, for founders and admins of existing forums, like devcointalk.org, coinversation.org, and cryptocointalk.com, to join as admins. People want to build their own forums and hope that their forum will take off, but having several forums weakens threads, and makes big projects harder to accomplish. In the normal course of events, eventually one forum would get most of the posters, but in the meantime, people will be wasting a lot of time posting on several forums, instead of getting things done.
Since we use cryptocoins, we're also the best group to finally stop email spam by making spammers pay:
2) When an email comes in which is from an address not on my whitelist (which would include contacts and people I've emailed before), the sender would get a message saying they could pay say 30 cents in a cryptocurrency to send an email to me. This would stop spam, and part of the money would go to maintaining the forum.
It'll take a lot of effort to make another coin forum with email, but in the end we'll have a popular all crypto forum with spam proof email.
