"In a nutshell, the network works like a distributed
timestamp server, stamping the first transaction to spend a coin. It
takes advantage of the nature of information being easy to spread but
hard to stifle." -- Satoshi

Weren't they making a coin of their own? Wasn't expecting this at all, I thought they would simply add their coin to their store...  |

The article also states that people wanted reddit to adopt some altcoins as well. Which I can't understand. Who needs an altcoin as payment method when you have Bitcoin. Doesn't make sense. |

Ouch!! with that mentality why stop there; who needs cryptocurrency at all if you have fiat, who needs fiat if you have gold, heck who needs gold if you have salt, ... you get the point Reddit has far more Altcoin constituents than btc constituents so the suggestion may have political component to it as well. If doge and ltc are the CCs driving the CC discourse at Reddit why did they get btc in the first place? Only because it's #1. |

Well Changetip is working 100% for me.... You only have to look at the success of /r/millionmakers to judge the capabilities of Changetip to do the task. A built in ChangeTip button, rather than the text based option, would make things easier for mass adoption. Bitcoin has been making huge changes in the way forums are monetized and not everyone is taking advantage of that.  |

Great news. I echo others in asking what took them so long. Hopefully they'll get a lot of sales and deiced to keep it as a payment option rather than remove it due to lack of interest. Now they only need to add some easy way to tip in btc!

The altcoin economy is full of nonsense and gamblers hoping it will get pumped to secure a profit. It has no future perspective at all. Bitcoin offers everything you need and is future proof. Only look at how much investors are willing to invest in it, that says enough. It gets used by more and more merchants every day as form of payment, and these numbers are growing day by day. |

Glad to see. It makes sense since they already use changetip. Hopefully more sites will get involved with both changetip and accepting btc directly. Hope to see more adoption soon.

Hasn't it already faded away? They're not as popular or as active as they once were. Alt's have nothing behind them except a new wave of sucker newbs. |

Your prejudicial view of altcoins is reminiscent of fiat holders prejudicial views of btc. |
