Title: Reddit is thinking about creating a cryptocurrency Post by: BlackVista on September 30, 2014, 08:32:08 PM https://www.reddit.com/r/blog/comments/2hwpmm/fundraising_for_reddit/ckwph30?context=3
Given how many users Reddit has, I think it could be incredibly cool and raise pretty big awareness about cryptocurrencies.

No. Why did you edit your original (most eloquent) post "nah, fuck reddit", only to replace it with this one which lacks a certain je ne sais quoi? It was so well argued after all! (Sorry I have nothing original to add to the thread so am reduced to poking fun at newbies (again)).

Didn't want to take away from my voiced opinion that this is a terrible idea. Reddit should feel shamed. Title: Re: Reddit is thinking about creating a cryptocurrency Post by: franky1 on September 30, 2014, 08:54:21 PM reddit is not making a crypto..
however a user that has moderator status of a few subthreads they created, is now shouting out about making a altcoin.. again. a USER. not the reddit CEO so heres the problems i see 1. if there was a reddit coin. and it happen to get such fame that reddit adopted it to replace the reddit gold. then, there would be nothing to stop people removing value out of reddit (withdrawing gold) to then convert into fiat for users selfishness. 2. if its a crypto with people having wallets outside of reddit.. then its minable, thus not helping reddit. 3. if reddit made a coin purely for closed source internal use to keep control and get people to buy coin from them only.. then they might aswell stick with mysql and not have a blockchain. so there are the 3 reasons reddit themselves are not really interested in making a coin themselves. its much easier to accept donations of bitcoin Title: Re: Reddit is thinking about creating a cryptocurrency Post by: yayayo on September 30, 2014, 08:54:50 PM https://www.reddit.com/r/blog/comments/2hwpmm/fundraising_for_reddit/ckwph30?context=3 Given how many users Reddit has, I think it could be incredibly cool and raise pretty big awareness about cryptocurrencies.

It was so well argued after all! ;D If the people at Reddit are smart they will use one or two of the existing Bitcoin 2.0 technologies (like MasterCoin) to issue their securities. It would save them a lot of work and cost. And they'd possibly get a bigger capital inflow from the Bitcoin community as well. Whether they do it or not, I think it adds credibility to the usefullness of cryptocurrencies. ya.ya.yo!

If it's not officially made by reddit then they can't use the name reddit. What will they call it?
Title: Re: Reddit is thinking about creating a cryptocurrency Post by: identtitentti on September 30, 2014, 11:18:10 PM 2. if its a crypto with people having wallets outside of reddit.. then its minable, thus not helping reddit. PoW is not the only option. There are also PoS and other options.

Title: Re: Reddit is thinking about creating a cryptocurrency Post by: bigasic on October 01, 2014, 01:41:02 AM I just don't get why people dont stick with bitcoin. I guess they think they can make a shit ton by pre-mining,etc. But, im sick of seeing all these alt coins. We have enough, now, if someone comes out with the magical alt coin that solves ALL the problems, then ill take a look, but until then most alt coins are just that, alt...

So it's an air drop (they've been failing since the 1990s) and a centralized currency just like Ripple / Stellar - no thanks. Just a money making scheme for Reddit forum - move along.

Facebook Credits failed miserable, not a crypto nevertheless corporate, centralized, get away from itThe way things are going, soon every company and private person has his one coin Title: Clowns.. honk honk..

I think what they meant is they tacked on an artificial price to these Reddit coins and are expecting buyers to honor that price, which shows how naive they are. If there's no way to negotiate the price for these coins then it's not a crypto currency but like Amazon coins.
