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.
I forgot this was a thing.
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
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
