It's a really interesting idea! I think you would find more support from the community if you also opened the coin for miners Wink

Hi. May I first say that I think you guys are doing a nice job with your coin. I own some (personally of course, not Comic Book Coin) and have followed your progress -- good luck into the future!

As far as your comment is concerned, yes, I know that you are right. But, we chose Ripple to make it easier for noobs (among other reasons). And as an asset-based coin, it just seemed for the best to go the token (or "colored coin" or "asset-based coin" or whatever the latest term is) route. And, of course, as you know, there is no mining in Ripple. But, we are aware that Bitcoin Talk has a huge mining community and they are always the first people on the ANN pages. Still, we felt it was important to announce here anyway. Plus, we come here all the time ourselves, so it felt natural to do so.

Anyway, thanks for your comment!

Thanks for supporting HYPER! I noticed you followed on twitter which is how I found you. I'm interested in how you will create value with ComicCoin. As I understand the coin will be "backed" by collectable comic books (as opposed to fiat money, infrastructure or other projects). Is that correct? Do you have proof of ownership of these collectible comics? Gaming and comics are in some respects similar and I'm interested to learn more. Feel free to elaborate more.

I think you will face some flak for not allowing mining in the initial stages and basically owning the entire supply. Unfortunately due to the number of scams on the forum the sooner you can show proof of the comics and assets backing the coin, and also development progress on your other goals, the better. Something like a company or some kind of transparent way for people to know the coin is really backed by comics will help your project (such as having them held by a trusted and accountable third party). But of course it is your coin and you can run it how you like. I'm interested to see how it unfolds Wink

I think it's a really interesting project to have a currency backed by collectibles like comic books and I have some good ideas assuming you are here for the long term.
