Hah. That was fun. First time I've written some rap lyrics over a song.
A song about Bitcoin, the blockchain & altcoins. Share it!

I wish I could write more verses, but don't have time now. Flying tomorrow.

Geez. Maaan. Soundposition, you are talented.
This seriously needs some lyrics to it. Going to try my hand at it.

Had an awesome chat with Soundposition yesterday.
Next time, more people should join in.
Some thoughts from the discussion:
1) Crowdfund the buying of several music software licences and sell it for FUNK at a discount to kickstart the currency.
2) Get a big name on board. This will catalyse the project tremendously. Easily, another 10 - 20+ will get involved.
3) Get a champion to help support us financially so we can inject some liquidity in the market.
4) Crowdfund a gig. A band needs to come forth with a proposal, how it much it will cost, and what they will do in return to promote Cypherfunks. Or if they even want to just gig as "The Cypherfunks". For example, we could Soundposition to get a dj set going somewhere.
I think that was it? Michael?
All, in all. Great fun. Next time, let's get more people involved.

Ah bummer.
@ipadbroken: hopefully the cryptocurrency adds some glue to the whole network and not just icing. Welcome!

Here's stats: http://cypherfunk.altcoinfaucet.net/stats/
Doesn't seem right. I put 1 million of the bounty in there. Can't be up already. Will mail Sebastian.

And I matched the then total of 3.1 mil, so there should of been plenty!!
I'm still keeping some of the bounty in case someone else wants to do faucet that you don't have to pay hosting for (paying 0.0055btc/month atm). I paid for 3 months.
I'll top up at the faucet with the bounty funds when it becomes depleted.
@mckmuze
Looking forward to what you are planning. Keep us posted!

So as far as the multipool payouts are concerned, it wouldnt be any different than the donation percentages most pools already offer, but instead of two payout (one to pool, one to miner) you would have a 25% payout to crowd fund/ mining pool, 50% listener/miner, and 25% to currently streamed artist. I'm not a developer so I'm not aware of how dificult this would be to do, but, imagine in all the musicians on the network had the asic, the listeners had the asic, and your phone tablet or computer was no different than a spotify style app, but tied to your hardware. Paying for the service would be simply buying the asic.
Someone please let me know where I'm off and try to explain to me the largest barriers to making this happen. I am aware this system would create a whole new job for a pool operator, but hey technology is killing jobs, lets create some new ones. lol
There are a few issues I have with the Funk ASIC.
1. China
Most likely the ASICs will be manufactured in China. I'm not really into creating more manufacturing jobs for China.
2. Costs to manufacture would be fairly high (at least from my point of view).
3. Why would the listener earn money by 'listening' to music, and why would they earn twice as much as the hardworking musician? These numbers seem arbitrary, and would necessarily have to be hard coded into a centralized manufactured product.
Again.. money to China?
Let's maybe take a step back and rethink this..
How can FUNK be used to benefit the musicians? That is the goal of the Cypherfunks. We can continuously help each other make music, only by making sure that FUNK can help put food on our table and so forth..
I can see myself buying food with FUNK, now wouldn't that be seriously great? In more practical terms, vendors could sell food at an outdoor festival to festival-goers. The vendors could of course use them to buy more FUNK related merchandise (which anyone can make and sell). Or they can convert their FUNK for BTC, and use the BTC for whatever they want..
All it takes is two or more parties that agree to use FUNK for their transactions.
If we can get the FUNK onto more of the exchanges, and get reasons going for people to buy FUNK with their BTC, the value of the FUNK will go up and we can start looking more towards merchant adoption.
Which reminds me, have you voted for the FUNK today at least once?

We maybe should have a place to donate BTC and FUNK on the Cypherfunks website to use to inject capital. Look at how CleanWaterCoin does it (click the Donate button to see how they have it setup):
http://www.cleanwatercoin.org/
Maybe people could donate things they have created, and have a store where people can redeem their FUNK. Like those arcades with the tickets you redeem for toys, only we would have something more valuable than toys. They could be music related (instruments, software, music packs, FUNK festival tickets, concert tickets (FUNK paper storage wallets) etc..)
That way music software companies can get in on this by donating their products to support the cause! This would in turn encourage people to make more music and buy more music related products with FUNK. That would make clear the real value of FUNK.
Honestly, ASIC production is about to get rolling in the US, and also to start, my idea would initially start as an open source development using old BFL ASICS, I just bought an eight GHs one for $50 this combined with NFC stickers, 3d printed case, and a Rasperry Pi would literally be all you need to get started with the platform, after it got rolling custom hardware would be a possibility. Not to mention, Blocktech is wanting to create ASIC miners and put them in anything from toasters to TVs. my idea may be a way out to be a reality, but it would benefit more people than just funk holders. musicians would have a steady stream of income with my idea, I would need to explain things in detail for you to understand, but you will see where my head is at soon enough.
I know a few developers that may interested in working with me, I am going to continue my brainstorming. I think you guys will see where my head is at soon. We are experiencing the death of money and the birth of value. It will be a glorious transformation from companies desperately trying to invest in things and short changing the company to a new system where the company invests in its self and the "coin" or company asset will go up in value relative to the effort of the organization.
We have reached a historical event horizon blinding our view of the future. Anything could happen in the next ten years. I'm interested to see what happens.
