On a day stuffed with pranks and foolish lies, Solana Labs CEO and founder Anatoly Yakovenko has joined in, introducing a brand new coin as an April Idiot’s joke. Certainly, on Monday the Solana founder printed a white paper for his cryptocurrency dubbed “BunkerCoin.”
“In case you are into mainstream adoption, pivot to bunkers,” the Solana co-founder stated on the X social media profile.
Solana’s Yakovenko describes BunkerCoin as a “groundbreaking blockchain protocol designed to function below the constraints of low bandwidth networks.”
In accordance with Yakovenko, the coin is meant to function by way of shortwave radio channels. Whereas the concept of a coin working as such, it seems that the whitepaper seems to be a joke. Therefore, any BunkerCoins that may seem following Yakovenko’s submit are most certainly scams.
The concept of transmitting crypto by way of radio will not be new. Rodolfo Novak, co-founder of crypto startup CoinKite, truly despatched a first-of-its-kind Bitcoin transaction through ham radio in 2019.
Moreover, again in 2014, Finnish Bitcoin fans additionally developed a venture referred to as Kryptoradio, which makes it potential to transmit blockchain info. That is seemingly the inspiration for Yakovenko’s thought of an April Fools prank.
