No, I was in a collab few days ago and it got shut down; it was a cryptocurrency in scratch.

I really don't think this is a good fit for Scratch. If you are going to go to the trouble of limiting distribution and enforcing use, then it has some sort of value and goes against the policy.

please read what @9gr said about cryptocurrencies as this post says it's not allowed

Last time this was done it went downhill, this about a year or two ago (late late 2018 to early 2019) and the dominant one that eventually died off was ShopBux.
there were a few controversies with paying for loves and faves and I believe outright denying services if not payed (citation needed). With this the ST had to enforce a few rules where you may not be denied service if you don't pay, may not be allowed to buy loves, fave and follows from the currency and a few more things you can find here: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/340012/

This topic is in pretty murky waters, and is generally considered not a good idea. You can still go ahead with it if you follow said rules in that post tho. But you can't really do much with the currency anyway.

This won't violate Paddle's rules, because there will not be limited distribution. The coin will just get harder to mine the more there are users online. No enforcing use either. There will be a rule: No making pay-to-play games. This will get us banned and no one will have fun.

• Logo: A golden Scratch Cat on a coin?

• Get people to use it: Oh… No ideas
  
• Value: increases over time (the more users are online, the more you have to wait to mine one coin)
  
• Bank: An encrypted cloud list that has username/money amount/password in one string, encrypted by @dixiklo 's free encoder/decoder and then ran through my Very Special Numbers To Weird Unicode Symbols Converter™(in development). The encrypting codes will change monthly for safety reasons. All the people who use the Scratchcoin Game Donate API™(also in development) will be notified to check for the new codes or else the system won't work.

Is it officially called Scratchcoin?

I’m reporting this to be moved to collaborations

see, the problem with crypto as opposed to say ‘vbucks’ is price fluctuation, a vbuck isnt gonna change value because its set, cryptocurrencies dont work like that, so if “scratchcoin” crashes then people will lose value. and im not sure how you would keep track of it with blockchain in scratch, idk it seems like it could go downhill.

is it gonna be like an external program? or some sort of scratch project?

Where in the world is the Scratchcoin topic in collabs? Is this dead? What happened?

Thanks for the advice! I'll start making a collab dedicated to the creating of the cryptocurrency soon! You are all invited if you want!
