Kodakoin!

Edit: Wait, you weren't joking!

omg. This is such a disgraceful way for that company to die.

Kodak licensed their name to "Wenn Digital" to launch the coin using their name. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/cybercoin-licensing-name-f...

Better than being bought by Oracle, at least!

"Announced today, Larry Coin offers tokenized ORACLE SQL transactions. Each coin holder can instantly validate their transaction was run in the ORACLE Cloud.[...]"

Oracle's various cloud offerings are complete and total vaporware. maybe the ones that were acquired are legitimate but will eventually be mismanaged and exploded.

oracle was billing my clients like $5,000 a day for phantom, non-existent "ENTERPRISE EDITION TM HYPER PERFORMANCE DATABAE CLUSTERS" that we never purchased

used to work for oracle, can confirm, an acquisition of your firm by oracle is the end of all fun and sane times

time to start looking or counting your shares if you were that high up in your firm :)
