McEnery Jr. and his development team to release the source code and mining software on January 7, a few days ahead of schedule.[7] Early press materials promised a proper and fair release, with no pre-allocation of coins.[8] However, later statements from the developers confirmed that approximately 0.37% of the maximum money supply of Coinye had been reserved for the creators of the coin before launch.[9] The developers claimed that this was to cover unexpected legal and development costs. Trademark infringement lawsuitOn January 6, 2014, Kanye West's lawyers sent the development team a cease and desist order on the basis that the then-unreleased currency constituted trademark infringement, unfair competition, cyberpiracy and dilution.[10][11] In response to the legal threats, the development team changed the name of the currency from "Coinye West" to "Coinye" and moved to a new domain name.[12] By January 10, 2014, the development team stated that they had removed all references to West but instead "to a half-man-half-fish hybrid," a nod to a South Park episode in which West fails to realize why people are jokingly calling him a "gay fish."[13] These actions were not sufficient to appease West's legal team and a lawsuit was filed against the creators of the coin, prompting them to sell their Coinye holdings and leave the project.[1] Developer departure and community takeoverOn January 14, 2014, a representative of Coinye announced on Reddit that "the developers basically dumped all their coins on the one exchange and left the scene."[1] Coinye's official site was replaced with text reading "Coinye is dead. You win, Kanye." and the original website is now down.[14] The creators of the project closed down all official Coinye services and have distanced themselves from the parties they labeled "morons trying to revive this coin".[15]. Decline of useCoinye has been called "defunct" by numerous publications.[16][17][18][19] Coinye's global block difficulty fell from 78 to 1.012 between January 18, 2014[20] and May 7, 2014,[21] indicating that the network's total processing power fell by roughly 99% during that time. Had West not sued Coinye, some predictions put the hypothetical value at approximately twenty times its original worth, as of 2017.[22]By 2017, no one was trading or mining Coinye.[23] References1. ^1 2 {{cite news|last=Newton|first=Casey|title=Coinye developers say they're abandoning project as Kanye West escalates legal battle|url=https://www.theverge.com/2014/1/14/5308480/kanye-west-ratchets-up-legal-battle-against-coinye-operators |newspaper=The Verge |date=14 January 2014 |deadurl=no |accessdate=19 June 2014}} 2. ^{{cite web|last1=Marc|first1=Schneider|title=Kanye West Buries Coinye With Lawsuit Victory|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/6190174/kanye-west-buries-coinye-with-lawsuit-victory|website=Billboard|accessdate=23 October 2015}} 3. ^{{cite web|last1=Rizzo|first1=Pete|title=Kanye West's Legal Team Take Down Spoof 'Coinye' Altcoin|url=http://www.coindesk.com/kanye-west-legal-team-take-down-spoof-coinye-altcoin/|website=Coindesk|accessdate=23 October 2015}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/oh-yeezus-cryptocurrency-gets-hip-kanye-inspired-coinye-west-2D11840387 |title=Oh Yeezus!
