Ok I'll say it, can someone else just pick this up and launch it? There's no updates being given, and I think Colbert would be ok with the community just making a coin in his name. Ron Paul didn't care about his coin, they're not all douchebags like Kanye.

I think its a good idea. Especially given Colberts fued with kanye west. It might not be that hard to get him to endorse it. proving once again that he is in fact, the voice of this generation of this decade.

I must say though, I think the name should be Americoin.

"ColbertCoin" can be generic. You don't have to come right out and say you this is a coin backed by stephen Colbert. Keep it generic, say you love all things 'colbert' such as the actress, the french politician, Stephen Colbert, and even Colbert butter. put a stick of butter on the coin until Colbert comes out and supports it. This covers your ass, you just made a coin referencing butter.

Its far easier to get support from a celebrity when its a multi million dollar coin, and not just an unproven idea. Stephen Colbert is not going to give the go ahead and endorsement of a random guy on the internet; he'd launch a coin himself before doing that. Giving you an endorsement is a liability until the coin is already succssful.

I say start with this:
Noun 1. Colbert - butter creamed with parsley and tarragon and beef extract

And once the coin is launched, and showing some success make a donation to Colbert Super Pac or one of his nonprofits, requesting his support. And once you get approval, switch it over to his face.

It may have been better to actually have specifically done this one without approval, it would have been more comedy opportunity.

I think you should just do it without his consent.. That's what Colbert would do!

Thank you for your feedback, but no, he would not do that.

The entire point here is to make this a collaborative project with The Colbert Show.

Asking permission is a sign of weakness.

This is not a military operation, this has nothing to do with showing strength or weakness.

You don't actually watch the show much, do you?

Check out RonPaulCoin, they launched without his approval, just didn't use his face or claim any link to him until after approval. Keep the ties to Steven Colbert to a minimum and wait til he here's about it and makes a joke about filling his lifelong dream of being the face on a dollar bill and then your golden.

Instead of charities, coins will be donated to NRA, Heritage Foundation and Creationist Museum.

And make it Script-Jane.

Is there GPU miner for it?

It is. I prefer it because it stresses the gpu less. Less heat, less noise, less power draw.

I think you should just do it without his consent.. And with a disclaimer saying something like "The OFFICIAL ColbertCoin! Disclaimer: this coin is not endorsed, sanctioned, approved, or condoned by Stephen Colbert, the Colbert Nation, or Viacom. Any resemblance to any person or fictional character, living or dead, is completely coincidental." That's what Colbert would do! Asking permission is a sign of weakness. Also, on the same day, you should release BearCoin, the greatest threat to the ColbertCoin.

Yes, we are leaning towards script.

So far we have some good submissions for a mock up of a store and some other great ideas.

Keep the ideas coming guys!

Contact me via PM here or through the site.

Can I make several suggestions?

Since it will be a very popular coin, and the man has some value, try these settings:
Max coins: no more than 500 million
Block rewards: 5k/block

In order to avoid severe coin depreciation like it happened to doge:
Block reward halfing: every month, or dependent on hashrate. (1month +-2 weeks)
Starting difficulty 0.25
First 1000 blocks only 1k/block reward *fixed
Difficulty re-target every 1000 blocks.
Difficulty max Up/Down +100%/-20%

You could make certain days related to the man's life (like his birthday, the show's anniversary editions etc) as bonus days.

I'll give it two weeks before they get a cease and desist on using "Colbert" and his image on the coin.

Its easy to do this completely anonymously with no point of contact and let it run, but that is not the goal here.
