Reddit began experimenting with a crypto-based points system to much fanfare in April. But now, as the social network has realized that there’s a major stumbling block if it wants to roll the feature out to all 430 million of its monthly users: Ethereum has scalability issues.
The exchange and derivatives trading platform’s new ETH/USD and EOS/USD pairings come off the back of BTC/USD options, which appear to have been popular.
Reddit has officially unveiled Community Points—a crypto-based rewards system that will allow users to build their reputations and accrue ERC-20 tokens on the Ethereum blockchain. The social network said contributors will be able to earn points whenever they submit quality posts or make meaningful comments that drive conversations forward.
At 12:06 p.m. on May 13, @whale_alert tweeted out a warning that 137 ETH stolen from the South Korean Upbit exchange last November had been transferred to a wallet address on Binance. Of course, there's another 341,863 ether still missing.
