Citing scaling issues, Reddit is shutting down its blockchain-based Community Points in favor of prioritizing other rewards programs.
That was quick, wasn’t that feature just introduced earlier this year?
Apparently, this was actually a thing for over a year; it’s just that a lot of us didn’t know it existed until recently, when Reddit’s recent bad decisions brought this one to light.
Scammers stop specific scam when exposed as scam and unable to profit, more at 11.
that was fast. sounds like a failure to plan to me
I forgot this was a thing.
But… but… I taught blockchain could not be killed!?
Wow, it’s almost as if using a blockchain to do mundane tasks is hideously inefficient and stupid, and is solely the result of tech bros groupthinking onto the latest buzzword driven bandwagon and high-fiving about line go up.
tldr; fuck crypto and fuck blockchains
