Everything You Wanted To Know About the Kanye-Inspired 'Coinye' But
Were Afraid To Ask
Some entrepreneurs are using Kanye West to launch a cryptocurrency - so what does that mean, again?
By TIERNEYSNEED
January 2,2014

You would think a Twitter account that popped up
Tuesday called "Coinye West" was a parody

$

account created by some econ nerd-cum-Yeezy
fan. It in fact is the handle of a new digital

yfl

currency inspired by Kanye West that, as the

J

creators confirmed to VICE Thursday, will launch

aip

Jan. 11. Confused yet? So were we. Here's a
primer.
So Kanye has his own currency now?
Not exactly. It looks like West - surprisingly,
considering the lengths he'll go to for self
promotion - has nothing to do with it. Some techie
monetary entrepreneurs — who for the time being
"want to stay sorta anonymous in case Kanye
gets pissed off' - are launching a cryptocurrency
using West's likeness and some clever punning
called "Coinye West."

A now digital currency namad Coinye looks to capitalize on the fame of rapper Kanye West

Cryptocurrency... excuse me, what?
Cryptocurrencies are digital monetary systems. Users can use these networks to buy and sell things online, usually anonymously and almost like
PayPal, but in a decentralized fashion. You may have heard of Bitcoin, the 4-year-old form of digital currency that attracted congressional attention in
November. It went on a boom-and-bust ride last year, with the price of a bitcoin skyrocketing above $1,000 in November only to crash 50 percent.
Because it is online, anonymous and decentralized, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies get a reputation as being especially useful for illicit purchases (it
was the accepted currency of the recently shut down illegal drug trafficking website, Silk Road). However, the rise of BitPay, BitGive and other platforms
that use Bitcoin have given it some legitimacy, and attention now has turned to how it could be regulated.
So how does this ail work?
Similar to how a treasury prints cash, bitcoins are released in a process known as "mining," in which users' computers compete to solve algorithms to
win bitcoins (the algorithm gets increasingly harder so that the race will occur every 10 minutes or so and the bitcoin rewarded is halved every four
years, meaning the bitcoin supply is finite). Coinye's creators say they will release their own front-end mining program called CoinyeMiner, which
according to them will be more user-friendly than the mining programs used by other cryptocurrencies.
Wait - they named the mining program 'CoinyeMiner,' and not'Gold Digger'?
I know, missed opportunity, right?

What's the point of naming your weird online currency after a megalomaniac, Kardashian-loving rapper?
Well, this is the point: attention. For these currencies to work they must have users, and the more users they have the more stable they'll be. Just last
month, some Internet geeks created a cryptocurrency called Dogecoin - inspired by 2013's Meme of the Year, a Shiba Inu dog named Kabosu - and its
value surged 900 percent in a week while its competitor currencies stumbled.
"There was this trend effect of people thinking it was associated with something cool and trendy," says Reuben Grinberg, a lawyer in the financial

institutions group of the law firm Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP. The Coinye creators likely are hoping for a similar effect. "My guess would be is that they're
trying to profit on something associated with [Kanye's] name."
As Coinye creators told VICE, "We chose to represent Kanye because he is and always has been a trendsetter, and he's always keeping things
unique."
Should I buy Coinye?
Though the Coinye creators say their program will be more accessible than other cryptocurrencies, they haven't really specified how.
"As more people get involved in mining this currency, it's going to be difficult for everyday people to get access to these coins and it's going to be people
with professional setups who profit the most," Grinberg explains. So you might be better off sticking to the more established Bitcoin.
Also worrisome, Grinberg says, is the kind of users Coinye seeks to attract: Kanye fans, rather than economists, math whizzes and techies who are
known to get involved in cryptocurrenices. Cryptocurrencies are very risky, and non-economists buying in out of a love for Kanye could lose a lot of
money if they don't know what they're doing.
"These are not the people I would say who should be getting involved in digital currencies," Grinberg says.

How many Coinye will it take to buy a 'mayonnaise colored Benz'?
We won't know until the currency launches, but as of press time, a $300,000 Mercedes-Benz costs about $384.73 in bitcoin.
I bet Twitter is loving this.
Too much.

First it was Bitcoin. Then came Dogecoin. Now, a group of Internet denizens are creating a new form of e-currency - and it's

MOST COMMENTED
Coinye West's creators say they chose Kanye as their cryptocurrency mascot because "he is and
always has been a trendsetter." But despite the creators' enthusiasm for the rapper, West has not

endorsed the crypotocurrency, and is apparently no way involved with it - and that could be a
problem.

LATEST REVIEWS
"We're really not sure how Kanye is gonna react to this," says Coinye's creators. "We hope he
loves it, but if he doesn't, he really isn't someone we want to piss off."

Coinye West is only the latest so-called altcoin to launch over the past year. Some, like Litecoin,

trade at a fairly high value - though nothing close to the $750+ exchange rate Bitcoin currently

While many can argue whether o r not Kanye West is the God he proclaims to be, Yeezus can add another convincing argument to his case. Now the face and inspiration of the newly
emerging f o r m of cryptocurrency, Coinye West, Kanye seems to be well on track as starting 0 1 / 1 1 / 1 4 , Ye" will have a currency named in his honor and he did nothing to launch i t
Cryptocurrency is a decentralized peer-to-peer utilized medium used for digital exchanges on global-friendly internet platforms. The most celebrated and acknowledged type of cryptocurrency is "Bitcoin," a currency exchange infamously known for it's frequent trade on b!ack markets to purchase firearms and drugs. In the past the currency's value was listed at
$1,000 perBitcoin.
The College Droupout isn't in anyway affiliated with the project but in an interview with Noisey (httpy7noisey.vice.com/en_ukA'ead/screw-bitcoin-and-dogecoin-theres-a-new-kanyewest-themed-cryptocurrency-on-the-way}- the Coinye creators explained their thought process behind namingtheir Cyprtocurrency after 'Ye."We chose to represent Kanye because he is and always has been a trendsetter, and he's always keeping things unique. I can picture a future where Coinye is used to buy concert tickets, with cryptographically verified
virtual tickets, and other ideas i can't give away just yet"
The start-up founders also reassured their company's name isn't a publicity plea, even adding an open invitation to the G.O.O.D. Music head-honcho, "We'd love if Kanye named
dropped Coinye" said the founder. Ml think he's gonna love that there's a CURRENCY named in his honor. We don't want t o pay him off to name check us. but i t'd be sick if he does so.
In-fact we're making an open invitation to Kanye: Get hold of us at coinyewestcom and we'll send you 100,000 COINYE on launch. A hundred thousand Bitcoin started small too.

P o p p r o v o c a t e u r s t e n d to a g e a w k w a r d l y , a n d M.I A . often tries a little t o o h a r d to
foment o u t r a g e (although it's h a r d t o t r u m p h a v i n g J u l i a n Assange as a n opening act).
Still, h e r f o u r t h a l b u m is p l e n t y p r o v o c a t i v e a n d outrageous-sounding: d a n c e m u s i c

KACEY MUSGRAVES
SAME TRAILER DIFFERENT PARK
The biggest quiet story in popular music this year involved women
singer-songwriters who kept their tongues in their mouths and told
the truth of ordinary lives. Texas-born, Nashville-based Kacey
Musgraves set the standard with a major label debut that sounded
like current country while avoiding all the cliches about Chevys and
flags and spring break debauchery. Instead, Musgraves sang in her
been-there-done-that drawl about restaurant workers waiting for a
break, small-town kids slowly morphing into the parents they resent
and strong women who know that a hook-up might be just a hook-up
and Prince Charming is sometimes best kept as a memory. Then
there's the anthem "Follow Your Arrow," the "Same Love" of country,
which turned YOLO into a means of real liberation. By year's end,
Same Trailer Different Park was winning awards, Musgraves was
writing songs with Katy Perry, and she had fully proven that country
belongs as much to women with smarts as to men with trucks. —Ann
Powers

Right before Yeezus, his sixth studio album, crashed into the public
sphere in June, Kanye West told the New York Times, "I understand
culture. I am the nucleus." The album almost justifies such supreme
egotism. Soundwise, it builds something new, juxtaposing avantgarde industrial and electronic innovations with the High Romantic
hip-hop West had already perfected. And then there's what West
says in its forty rampaging minutes. Sex fantasies and a dirty lover's
despairing mea culpas emerge from West's confused id, while his
exacting superego places his urges within the context of American
racism, international celebrity and the infinite void of consumerist
decadence. (There are jokes, too, Richard Pryor style.) The most

LA SANTA CECILIA
TREINTA DIAS
2013 was a big year for the LA-based La Santa Cecilia after years of
touring, recording and hustling a place for themselves in Latin music.
The group was signed by a major label. Its stellar vocalist La Marisol
was invited to sing on the Elvis Costello/Roots collaboration released
this year. The band was featured in the pages of major U.S.
newspapers and of course we at Alt.Latino continued to appreciate
its unique musical vision, and especially Treinte Dias, a forwardlooking mix of folklore, jazz, cumbia and rock 'n' roll spirit. —Felix
Contreras

It's apparent from jump. Right from the opening synth squalls of "On Sight" From the electro ticktick-tick. From the bass turned way past distortion. This is something new. Sounds you haven't hear
before. Like a spaceship crashing in your backyard. You can't help but look, you can't help but
approach. Out of curiosity if nothing else at first. You're being pulled forward by your ears. Kanye's
making a statement. "I'm from the future. I'm here to show you how ifs going to be."
It's not all going to be pretty. It's not all going to fun. The sounds are discordant, abrasive. The lyrics
harsh, abusive. It's nasty. But it's thrilling. Through the whole album. There's no let up. Song after
song. Start to finish. (Only ten songs. That's all it takes.) Especially now, six months after its

L Yeezus, Kanye West
He can't be serious. Thafs what aB the late-night hosts and lists of "craziest Kanye quote? told us about Kanye
West in 2013. And sure, he's the one who said that thing about being a god, and that other thing about hunying
up with his damn massage. But like any human (even one who raps, "No sports bra/Lefs keep it bouncing"),
Kanye's got everyrightto be serloui Asserting thatfreedomon Yieezus, he exposes the rage of a wildly
ambitious artist confounded by the wfly shape of racism today. He smashes the atoms of his fears, ego, and sax
drivetogetherfor tracks tike "Black Skinhead,' featuring fhymes about "coon s—" and a beat deckledty free of
Under Armour. (It ended up soundtracking apopular TV spot for smartphonea) Mostly, his sound obsession
runs riot,fromthe btam-speaker fiis of "On Sighf to the abundanceof dancehafi singers and samples to
"Blood on the Leaves/1 with its unflindiing appropriationof Nina Simonefe "Strange Fruit" The overriding
message: Listen dosely. Kanye will never vaBdate anyone's celebrity worship. On Yeezus, though, he throws
down serious thunderbolt.

they're all free, there is one small catch: you'll have to give Google your credit card

I dont know. I don't want to inconvenience him. A simple few second video of him telling us he
wants coinyes would suffice, but i understand you might be concerned about that hitting the
media. As I'm well aware you guys are going to try and get my identity I'm not comfortable with
a phone call, and skype would be too slow through the proxies i use.
I'm totally willing to discuss things with you guys. In email, or on IRC which is internet relay
chat. I can give, you the step by step to get connected if you dont have access to a geek when its
time to talk. It's just that before we actually risk ruining the currency by "printing" a crapload of
it to give to kanye, I'm going to need some kind of proof its actually going to him, by getting
some sort of verification from the man himself.
Thank you

If you want to talk, contact me in email. We're anonymous and we're keeping it that way.
Also, I'm not giving up a single millionth of a percent until i get some kind of verification that
kanye actually knows a deal is being made. I still don't trust you, and I sure as hell don't trust
lawyers.
