BADcoin died. The mining pools disappeared. The blockchain went quiet. And for years, it looked like another forgotten altcoin destined for the crypto graveyard.
But somebody forgot to tell Michael.
In Episode 817 of The Bad Crypto Podcast, Joel Comm and Travis Wright welcome a longtime listener who discovered cryptocurrency through the show, mined his very first coins with BADcoin, and eventually took on the enormous challenge of resurrecting the original blockchain.
Now BADcoin is running again, and if you mined coins back in 2018 or 2019, your old wallet keys might still unlock a piece of Bad Cryptopia history.
We dig into what killed the original network, how Michael pieced it back together, the five mining algorithms that make BADcoin unusual, and how the community can help keep the network alive.
Plus, find out how to get a BADcoin wallet, join the community, explore mining, and even receive some BADcoin from Joel's personal stash.
One BAD still equals one BAD.
BADcoin 3.0 is here. We're back, baby!
