- 333c 6y agoI also remember them making this announcement (and it wasn't Dogecoin, as the other commenter says). I can't seem to find an announcement about this though.
- ihuman 6y agoI was able to find it. It was called "Reddit Notes" https://redditblog.com/2015/12/19/announcing-reddit-notes/ https://redditblog.com/2015/12/19/announcing-reddit-notes/ https://www.theverge.com/2015/2/3/7968397/reddit-backtracks-reddit-notes-cryptocurrency https://www.theverge.com/2015/2/3/7968397/reddit-backtracks-...
- michaelt 6y agoIn ~2014 there was a brief craze for the spoof "Dogecoin" cryptocurrency, IIRC largely on reddit. It still exists, although it's far below its peak interest [1] - and of course dogetipbot went bankrupt after an insider spent the cold storage, as is traditional.
