About

Reddcoin is a cryptocurrency for online social platforms built from a code base fork of Litecoin.

History

Reddcoin aims to be a cryptocurrency narrowly tailored for social media platform use, something the team believes is a key catalyst for mainstream cryptocurrency adoption. Tipping, purchasing content, storing donations, and general social-based monetary exchange is a growing practice that Reddcoin hopes to direct toward the cryptocurrency market.

Larry Ren, Reddcoin’s lead developer, explains Reddcoins utility in terms of monetizing user-generated content (e.g. likes, shares, retweets) via a cryptocurrency token that is designed to become a “social unit of account” across these online media platforms. The volume of emotive interactions like “likes” is something Reddcoin hopes to expand and financialize.
