Title: [2015-11-01] This Robot Plant Needs You and Bitcoin to Reproduce
Post by: tyz on November 01, 2015, 10:22:51 AM
The Plantoid, debuted at last month’s Ars Electronica festival, relies on bitcoin to stay alive and – once it has enough – even reproduce.

It is interesting. It may not be a pyramid scheme, since those who tip/donate do not have expectations of receiving returns or money.

I wonder where the new plantoid (offspring) will be displayed. It should be close to the new one.

I agree. No one is promissing to grow your money, to double them or anything like that. The project is supported by donations and they are not investments. Although it still could be a swindling it is definitely not a pyramid scheme.
