- pavel_lishin 9y agoCould I invest in your course academy via some sort of ICO?
- Steeeve 9y agoCoursecoin is going to change the academic world altogether. The combination of a distributed ledger algorithm with online academia opens up a world of education to people who otherwise could not afford it. Student loans are out of control, but with course coin, the students earn their tuition by mining coins. All the overhead of an academic institution is distributed over a wide array of systems that are responsible for keeping track of enrollment, grades, and personal progress on the blockchain. Teachers get paid better because they get paid in coursecoins as they are mined. They have an actual incentive for their students to remain interested and to succeed. The ICO will be raising money to bring on new material and for marketing of the courses. We expect 100,000 students in the first quarter, at which point the coin value on the open market is expected to skyrocket beyond all other blockchain coins. Send your donation or investment money to coursecoin@gmail.com (seriously, please don't.). We will handle the rest. If you'd like to see our white paper, check it out. https://futureoflife.org/data/documents/research_survey.pdf https://futureoflife.org/data/documents/research_survey.pdf
- JoblessWonder 9y agoCoursecoin regrets to inform its prospective student-investor-miners that there was a compromise to the secure ICO system before launch. There will be no courses or refunds. Thank you for your interest and investment in Coursecoin.
- kbenson 9y ago> there was a compromise to the secure ICO system before launch. I assume that's a typo, and you mean before lunch on the day it was announced. :)

- 659087 9y agoI had to do a double take to make sure this was a joke, because it's pretty much exactly the type of thing I'd expect people to be trampling each other to give their money to on cryptocurrency forums. > Send your donation or investment money to coursecoin@gmail.com (seriously, please don't.) On many of those same forums, I expect people would be sending money anyway, and justifying it by saying that "they have to say the seriously please don't part to avoid the SEC, but they don't mean it".

- JamesLeonis 9y agoWhy do the work _before_ getting paid? Take out an ICO and let them "preorder" your course!
- jsloss 9y agoWhile you say this in jest, it is actually a good idea. The pre-sale part. Get a sense of a market need before you dive in. Caveat being you've done the work to be able to add authentic value to the people you're selling too. (which is where most ico's break down)
- nathancahill 9y agoThe value is that the course itself is hosted on the blockchain. It's distributed and decentralized. /s
- richman777 9y agoNeed an advisor?
- KGIII 9y agoRight? I do have a Ph.D. from MIT, even. I'd advise them to incorporate their PDF, and perhaps lesson taker's info, into a blockchain.
- bpicolo 9y agoIt's the first blockchain based Ph.D. program. Your degree is immutable and distributed.
- KGIII 9y agoWell, that's plenty for an ICO. Let's run with it. I know some PHP and can install WordPress!
- arkitaip 9y agodownloading adobe acrobat as we speak. is there like a blockchain addon that launches my ico? kthxbye
- nothotdog 9y agodo you have a PhD from "real MIT" or just Media Lab?
- FLUX-YOU 9y agoThat's great, you'll be running a hedge fund and talking about cryptocurrency in no time
