Eh? That's called friendship/family.. If i was a millionaire i'd rather give my son something "special" than a stranger.. this is the nature of things, have no idea what that has to do with freemasonry..

Maybe you should create Christ coin too, except with an inverted Crucifix logo.. and give 50% of coins generated to charities..

I think you have been watching too much "Alex Jones" (or reading 100 year old books)

i've almost finished with MasonCoin QT and MasonCoinD. uploading both + source right now.

Because this country is not meant to be one where people only let their sons and their friends sons have things. I don't care how much they give to charity, it does not offset what they take from our political system.

why would you want it to be anti-masonic.. considering they give more to charity than many other organisations..

We will be offering Devcoins and Silver as bounties for this project

Mason Coin Mission Statement:

Mason Coin (The Constructive Coin) is the coin for people who can't mine, and the miners who want to support creative minds. 50% of blocks mined go to the miners, while the other 50% goes directly to projects that work to support creative open source projects, like: Graphic Design, Video Creation, Photography, Beat Production, Music Creation & even the growth of Other Alt-coins.

My 11 year old brother died June 4th, 2013 and this coin is meant to honor him. Mason is not only his name, but also means "Stone Worker", the goal of Mason coin is not to become the next big coin. The goal of Mason coin is to FIND the next big coin, as well as find some talented artists, musicians and other creators who wouldn't be getting paid it if weren't for the existence of this coin. Together, these creative outlets will form a community of artists, writers (with the help of Devcoin), Ecologists (with the help of Ecocoin) and hopefully a spectrum of others. And this community can use the submitted open source works to create larger works. For example, a beat (which someone would have submitted there to earn coins) can be taken from the beat board, then a second person can add their own instruments to the beat and resubmit it to earn their own coins. Then a third person can use that music, and add their own original lyrics (maybe this is a writer from Devtome) and create a song. This song can now be submitted to YouTube and various other outlets, or even resubmitted to the board for more coins.

Video creation is submitted through the partner program. To become a partner, you must first have a YouTube channel and videos submitted. If these requirements are met, you can apply for the partner program and if accepted, ads will be added to your YouTube videos, for which you will earn Mason Coins. Anyone accepted in the program will receive the benefits of: Video Promotion, Collaborative Partners and more.

10% of the 50% dedicated to creative works will go into a wallet that is to be used democratically. There will be polls created on Bitcointalk.org in where we will vote on which coin will receive the Mason coin benefits that round.  The coin that is chosen by voters will be purchased above price with Mason Coins, and then the coins that are purchased will be given away in a contest.

We plan to have a cap of 1,000,000,000 coins

Did you already finish all of your other projects? What about your collections for a group trip through Mexico and the Caribbean? How did it turn out with you publicly accusing your stepfather of murdering your brother and all that? Remember, when you said he should make a donation to you or you would press murder charges against him?

I don't see how supporting art, music and other creative outlets isn't along the lines of "for fun" while focusing on downloading software to solve complicated algorithms does fall under the lines of "for fun".

Fin most altcoins are for fun.
Even if you make a profit its pennies on the dollar.
Just go get a job so you can buy your alt coins and stop asking if you can get them writing.

Yea markm, his ideas are good; stop being critical or rational or realistic. 

Here's our competition:

I don't even know what streaming video servers is, I am asking for help not agitated criticism.

That would be awesome if Devcoin were a YouTube sponsor, but I don't feel like devcoin is trying to change anything or add anything any time soon.

I can make up some domains and bring people to them, I just need help with the code and stuff. I am not good with computers, but I can get an idea out there.

If the market cap of Devcoin is not high enough to host video servers, then why are we discussing this in relevance to Devcoin. And I bet if you were to sponsor videos posted on YouTube, you wouldn't even have to worry about that.

I'm not trying to drain the value of Devcoin, this is a NEW coin. It wouldn't take business from Devcoin, and would probably even start a pool that included Devcoin. Bringing more miners to Devcoin.

If you don't have time that's fine, but I feel like these things need to be done sooner rather than later, so I am going to keep trying.

If you are so great at setting up streaming video servers and stuff like that why not help get the sites devcoin is working on off the ground?

I think part of the reason they are not up yeet was failure to secure yet all the domains that such sites would want to use.

But another part I think was the total market cap of devcoin is not large enough to pay for things like streaming video servers, which use quite a bit of bandwidth.

Draining more of the value out isn't going to get it to sufficient market cap any faster, it'll just set up yet another contantly forking, constantly attacked crapcoin wasting even more developer-time just trying to keep patching it against attacks fixing forks and so on. There are already far more coins out there than there are enoguh developer-hours in a year to keep fixed and up to date.

I just had a realization. We can DOUBLEY support other coins.

So, same plan as before, 5-10% goes into a wallet to be traded for a coin that gets chosen by poll here on Bitcointalk. And it is bought in a way that helps its value, not hurts it.

But, I just realized, that means there will be a store of alt-coins...

That means.. We can hold contests and give away FREE coins for that coin.

2x the support for whatever coin wins the poll.

Just had an idea. This coin could be the first Cryto-Coin YouTube sponsor!!! (look up "YouTube Game Sponsor" for more info)

And I'm a member of a forum where people are just HUNTING for sponsors.

These things DO make money. And the PLAN is to support alt-coins, like Devcoin.

If there was an open source art website, we could use our writing from Devtome and art from the art website to make books
If there was a beat website, people could get coins for making music (and there are TONS of people out there making beats) then people that CAN'T make beats could go make MUSIC with the provided beats, allowing people who can't write long lyrics or books, but can write lyrics, to make money.

And the goal isn't to SELL these things on the site, the goal is to give these people coins and let other people come use the stuff for FREE.

The value of Devcoin is low because someone dumped 60 million coins. So someone bought a bunch of coins and sold them for shit, or wrote for a while and sold a ton of coins at once.

A five minute video, seriously? Let me show you something...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdmoT2GgzMA

That video have over 1,000,000 views. Which means the guy that posted it made at least $1,000 on it, plus he probably got views on his other videos through it...

And YouTube probably made 10x that much on it... It's a ten minute video, but the point is that this video has no point. And even if we let people just take their videos from youtube and use our site like a blog, we could start making some money also.

How are you going to secure it?

Seems like you'd just be launching an insecure crapcoin whose main accomplishment if it accomplishes anything at all would be to lower the value of your devcoins.

If you can actually make money with sites featuring those things that you propose to pay people for, you can turn the profits into devcoins and help increase the value of your devcoins.

But first you should probably start by making a site containing those kinds of things and check whether it does actually make money, as if it doesn't then paying people for such things would just be a waste of money anyway.

It might well be partly due to paying people for stuff that isn't actually ending up paying its way that has brought devcoin values so low right now.

How much income per month can you actually rake in per five minute video, for example?

And mining, it would be cool if we could get a MSC/DVC/ECO/BTC pool.

Blocks that release 1,000 coins
1,000,000,000 coins total

What do ya'll think about a coin that does something like this:

A website for:

Art payment - 1 file = 1/10 share
Video payment -5 min = 1 share
Music/Beat Creation payment - 5 min = 1 share
Photography payment - 1 picture = 1/10 share

These would be paid like Devcoin, with a percentage of mining going to the website that hosts these things

Then, I'm not sure if this is possible, but 5-10% of mining that can be put in a wallet and every month or 2 there will be a poll, and the coin that wins gets a dump of MSC to help it (we'll buy up any coins we can with MSC, in a fashion that raises the price of your coin, even if that means getting silver first and then turning silver into bitcoins, and bitcoins into your coin) .

And, there will always be silver available for mason coins.
