wise advice, ty

now that's talking! great, hope some will find some interest to find out, if have no time nor competence atm, but that would be great for the coin's future imo.

sorry guys, have to move on and work with a coin that has some devs, if I find a karma mining pool, i can train with karma and put it a bit higher, so..., cheers

So, now if the investment committee of the Khyentse Foundation is interested in my today's proposal, no more worries about the future of karma. If not, it will take some time but if karma is still there, I'll be back with some slower concrete solutions.

As I mentioned earlier, for us today is a very special day to plant good karmic seeds, like a big bonus multiplier for any positive actions, positive is defined as thinking of the welfare of others before once own concerned, and it's free to do, so enjoy everyone and make this a great helpful day for your friends and family, and even ennemies if one can do that, but at least don't hurt, ever (cause the multiplier goes also for the negative ones but who wants more problems in the future, so I'll carefully refrain from any negativities today, refrain more than usual...).

The Dalai Lama often says that the wise way to be selfish is to think of others before oneself because this way not only we make the life of others easier, but we are the one that will harvest the biggest happiness, as the result of ripening of those altruistic actions. Of course the more people helped, the bigger the harvest. Our problem is that we want immediate harvest, those are very fleeting ones. Like the wise ones on the trade market we should look mid/long term.

And finally to quote my boss:
"Nothing happens randomly; everything happens according to the mathematical logic of cause, condition, and effect. To this logic we owe our complete trust. Modern people already trust the function of karma on some level: for example, we know that a marigold is not created by a god but that it grows from a seed when all the necessary conditions come together. What we don’t all have is the more profound, undeniable trust in karma. This is what leads to so much disappointment and the feeling that life is “unfair,” especially when we do our best to do the right thing yet suffer unexpected consequences. We trust only the immediate and obvious causes and conditions and never suspect that there are layers and more layers lining up behind them."~ Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche's "The Guru Drinks Bourbon?"

Yes I think once we'll be ready to dig out the karma coins, we will need a brand new page one, be it an update of this one or a new thread will depend on bitwho if I get it right.

Sweet!

I would say wait a bit. I have a plan for this one in the coming weeks/months:

Tomorrow I'll contact the organisation of my boss, it will be his birthday tomorrow, we Buddhist people see this day as a very auspicious one, good for the future of whatever good karma (!) is done on this day.
you'll find some figure in there https://khyentsefoundation.org/pdf/KFAnnual_Report_2016.pdf, especially p20
the idea is to dispense them from loads of dollars fees, and their dollar activity with the coin will sustain the coin value, so I guess this is solid.

very much agree with that, I wont buy any until good timing, it would just complicate things. Once we are all ready, all-in.

sure, but you know greediness is very well spread, even among so called buddhists hehe... May be a new thread as you suggested too will be necessary.

Wheel of life would be to fuzzy at small scale i think, I have an idea in mind, but I'll wait a bit, i rejoice that you like the idea of changing logo and buddhist connection.

@bitwho What do you think of all that? btw I like your pic!

ok nice, to me it sounds quite natural that a karma coin connects to buddhist world. During my years studying buddhism i kind of lost sight of the computer world...but made some other connections. Now...I'm back, and the free stuff seems ok https://slack.com/pricing

also, I will start in a few weeks or month to sell buddhist t-shirts, would love to able be payed in Karma and be pleased to make some karma coin shirts, but it looks like the logo is not free to use...or may be we can change the logo and have a more real buddhist one?

I'm willing to be in. My idea is to help introduce karma in the buddhist community. As you may know buddhists monks and nuns rely fully on donations to sustain themselves and their organisation, I don't like the idea that banksters are in the house. how about this general idea, you like it?

I have a good geek friend who is ready to help on the mining power and visibility also.

Hi there,

I’m a total crypto illiterate, but have a feeling that this tech can have very positive impact on the world, thanks to a very good friend of mine for bringing me in.
So even if all those technical considerations going on here are out of my reach for now, as a western buddhist I'd really like to see this KARMA name staying alive, and would love to help in the near future by investing time and energy on this project and by initiating some concrete connections and help toward the buddhist world (which for a buddhist is the most powerful way of taking care of the karma of all those involved , why is there nothing more powerful than helping buddhas’ words to spread? because it helps all living beings at once, just plain math for us)

So meanwhile if you think i can be of any help, or having some buddhist questions and such, just let me know.
