Self-styled front page of the Internet site Reddit.com is flush with case all of a sudden, after confirimg a new $50 million funding round. Its a bucket-load of cash to be sure, but whats more interesting is that the site is promising as much as 10 percent of the amount will be shared with community members through the creation of a new cryptocurrency.

Reddit users do deserve a share of the spoils, for theyve helped make the site the huge success it is today. One thing its particularly good at is spotting Internet trends and news long before the mainstream media does, and of course its a great place to find things like stolen nude celebrity photos or hunt for terrorists.

Reddit CEO Yishan Wong wrote in a blog post that the investors have agreed to hand over 10 percent of their shares to community members, as part of the terms of the deal. However, it seems Reddit doesnt know exactly how its proposed cryptocurrency will work just yet. It could be that the cryptocurrency is used as a kind of ownership token of shares in the site a concept thats been proposed by several crypto 2.0 projects in the past.

Nor is Reddit the only company to announce a plan like this Overstock.com made a similar announcement last July.

Wong attempted to clarify things on the r/blog subreddit, saying that the idea is to create a special-purpose cryptocurrency backed by the values of shared created by this funding round. We are thinking about creating a cryptocurrency and making it exchangeable (backed) by those shares of reddit, and then distributing the currency to the community, wrote Wong. The investors have explicitly agreed to this in their investment terms.

Given the potential benefits for site users, Wong feels the idea is worth trying, although he warns that Reddit is currently just exploring the idea. CAVEAT: KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS PLAN COULD TOTALLY FAIL, he added in a later post.

As for the rest of the money, Reddit plans on using it to bolster its production development staff and community management teams, and to increase its mobile presence. Just this month, Reddit launched an official mobile app for its popular Ask Me Anything sessions, so we can expect to see more developments in this area.

Draft law over bitcoin expected soon in RussiaReuters

Russian authorities are finalising draft laws which will continue to outlaw cryptocurrency in the country in any shape or form.

"There are no plans to extend the situation as it already stands regarding cryptocurrency," Konstantin Korishenko, head of stock exchange and finance, Rana toldIBTimes UK.

New draft legislation will appear in the next few weeks. Legal and technical discussions have been hampered by the ongoing sanctions against the country, and geopolitical questions regarding the location of servers, added Korishenko, a former deputy head of the Russian Central Bank.

In the absence of formal structure, Russian authorities have so far made it clear that criminal proceedings will be taken against anyone trading in bitcoin or mining it.

The main objections to cryptocurrencies echo the consensus: it is prone to fluctuations in price and its underlying value is nebulous, combined with the propensity for crime attached to an untraceable form of money.

Mixed messages in recent months have led to predictions of a softening towards bitcoin and other digital currency within Russia.

Last year the chief of Russia's state lender Sberbank told reporters that the future belonged to cryptocurrency. He portentously said Sberbank's e-wallet tie-up with search engine Yandex, was not yet "emitting currency".

Ilya Balakirev, chief analyst of UFS Investment Comapny, told IBTimes UK: "There is a clear sense that many financial institutions, watching cryptocurrency boom, somehow want to join it. But at the same time we have a strong feeling that the officials, even top-level officials, speaking out on this topic, do not fully understand what cryptocurrency is and how it works.

"Perhaps he meant that on the Yandex-money basis a payment mechanism could be implemented that would use popular crypto-currency, in particular bitcoin, as an alternative to the ruble or the US dollar."
