The new electronic currency is inspired by Kanye West!
If you missed all the hype and bad luck that happened in 2013 with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Dogecoin, you have a new chance to do things right in 2014.
The world has therefore solemnly welcomed CoinYe (West), the new anonymous digital currency that its creators want to be the "cryptocurrency for the masses"!
However, CoinYe's direct reference to the famous hip-hop artist Kanye West makes you wonder if the musician has anything to do with the fringe electronic currency?
The answer is of course no! The initiators of CoinYe are simply trolling the rapper, which is why they remain anonymous, to avoid the lawsuits that will surely rain down. They did, however, try to approach him via Twitter as an investor in the innovative venture, but in vain.
The developers-creators of the virtual currency used Bitcoin's open source code for their own currency, although they claim that using CoinYe will be much easier, hence their slogan "cryptocurrency for the masses".
And while the whole attempt may well be a sophisticated joke (or a commentary on the way the music industry works), launching a new electronic currency is now a relatively easy task, since Bitcoin's open source code is now freely available on the internet.
And while many other electronic currencies have been released, all of them based on Bitcoin (Litecoin, Namecoin, etc.), few have gained the fame of CoinYe before it even debuted on the internet!
