It was the one with the elephant looking right at you hovering above the lotus flower.   Need something cute and doge-like IMO to get people's attention.  I saw a damn CorgiCoin today!!!  WTF?  It was fucking hilarious and I am still thinking about today.  I think something playful is also heart warming which is what Karma is all about.  Right from the start, karma is a voyage to giving.  it's not easy to do for many, so a cute elephant just works for me.  Maybe we could adopt app elephant at a financially strapped zoo?  Just a total random act like that.  I'm down for trying to find a starving elephant. :-)


I agree with you... there are some people who have a problem with using open source clip art for an open source project.. but personally I don't..
there are still also some people struggling with the idea of a coin based on giving.. I think people who have "sold off" their coins instead of "giving them away" have completely missed the point of this project.

I am not a rich person but if it ever comes to the point where I need to divest all my coins... I will make sure I give most of them away in keeping with the core idea of this coin.




This site is what I am talking about.  The costs of supporting a charity in a really poor country like India is pennies compared what it costs to support a charity here in the states.

George Takei has also started a coin about helping human rights.  There is plenty of room for coins with a mission, and karma is the universal language of doing what is right for others in hopes that it will come back around.
