August Update

Since we wrapped up our funding stage, we have been busy building upon our data, contacting dead coin devs and taking a deeper look into some coins that we have on our lists. The challenge ahead is to properly filter all the data we have, present it in a way in which it will lead to action and understand how to contact the devs or other salient members of those dead coin communities to start negotiating our buy outs.

Thank You For Supporting the CoinJanitor Project

Cleaning up the crypto space is a task that few have thought about and not many see as necessary. In this environment, it is extremely challenging to plan, design and launch a mechanism that can clean dead coin projects up and restore that value to the markets. Theoretically, it can be done, and since not a lot of people think it is needed, finding enough supporters to see this theoretical concept become a practical part of the space, is not easy. This is why we are especially grateful to everyone who decided to support this project through their contributions.

A Scarce Buy-Out Resource

Our answer to this question is that our aim is to clean up crypto by taking care of dead coins. Following that statement, some might lose interest in the project, because they see it as a coin that can only benefit holders of dead coins.

What Would Happen If CoinJanitor’s Reserve To Buy Dead Coins Runs Out?

One of our followers on Twitter asked us “What will you do when all of the ‘tokens to buy failed coins’ are used up? Is that the end of CoinJanitor’s capacity to clean up?” This is a very important question for us to address, and we would like to approach it from 3 different perspectives: economically, operationally and regarding CoinJanitor’s future developments.

Did You know There Are More Than 4,500 Cryptocurrencies Already?

more than 4500 cryptocurrencies

Just a little over 9 years ago, the first Bitcoin was mined. The world was busy with one of the most
gruesome economic meltdowns in history, so it took us years to discover the invention that turned into
the frenzy of the century. Now, almost 10 years after Satoshi Nakamoto published his white paper, the
asset that just a few people in a closely-knit mailing list knew about, spawned an explosion of digital
assets that no one would have been able to foresee.

The Economy Always Needs A Janitor!

Step into any office building, school, government office or even residential buildings, and you will find a janitor.

Nevertheless, once a pipe bursts, a window cracks or there is a huge spill on the hallway we call the only person we know who can take care of the mess.
