You need to change this sentence on the website.  It sounds too amateurish, like the whole thing is duct taped together and will be used to buy things at flea markets:

"RonPaulCoin.com is a fan-based tribute and commemoration to Ron Paul because he has been the leading champion of hard money for 30+ years."


I would change it to something like this:

The Ron Paul Coin (RPC) is a secure, digital, open source based currency built upon the economic principles that he's promoted for the last 30+ years.

The word "fan" is just not a good word to use.  It's mostly associated with meaningless things like music bands.  Nobody says they're a fan of Socrates or whatever.


I support this Wink

Here are some proposals that I think could get Ron Paul Coin off the ground:

1)  New coin image.  I've taken the liberty to make a submission.  If anyone would like it in vector form, let me know:

2)  It may be useful (and create some buzz) If we start calling .01 Ron Paul Coins "Rands".  After all, rand is about 1/100th of Ron when it comes to being principled Wink

3)  A proper website.  It currently looks like.. well.. a developer made it  Wink

4)  Since Ron is such a "hard money" gold / silver proponent, it would be cool to get some physical Ron Paul Coins out there sooner than later, and send one to Ron himself.  





+1 this design is great, you really capture his 'Ron-ness' :~}

Gonna got out an a limb and say none you of are libertarians. rest assured ron paul is not your normal politician, and imo he will have no issue with his likeness being used in the defeat of the federal reserve and central banking. again imo, he would be honored that a alt coin has been named after him.

I don't know about mixing politics or religion or anything not neutral item(s)/topic(s) to mining coins and/or the economics of it, that's just my opinion.

This is a valid point. We should tread carefully in regards to this. Ambitiously, but with awareness that this is more than just a coin with implications that follow accordingly.

As long as we deal with these things before and as they crop up, we shouldn't have any problems.

Ron Paul Coin. TO THE MOOOOOOOOOOON

To add another concern, how does Ron Paul feel about a coin in his honor? Was it brought up to him prior to release? There is possible legalities that can occur, potentially, if he chooses to pursue them.

I don't think this would be an issue unless he has trademarked his likeness in any way. If he has, then the coin can still basically keep the same name, but change the logo and/or add a disclaimer to say that it is in no way official or affiliated in any manner with him.

Hope so, because politicians can pull enormous strings when it deals with legalities.

well its like this he is and always will be a libertarian, but he realized that he had little to no chance of any impact thru the libertarian party. so with the exception of running for prez in 88 as a lib, he has always run thru the republican party.
