What is a cryptocurrency?
By definition, a cryptocurrency is “a digital currency in which encryption techniques are used to regulate the generation of units of currency and verify the transfer of funds, operating independently of a central bank.” It is not a physical object but an entirely virtual one.
What is a blockchain?
A blockchain acts as a ledger for a cryptocurrency. It records all transactions made with that specific cryptocurrency. Since the blockchain is maintained through a peer-to-peer network across several computers, the blockchain may be viewed by anybody.
Is ScrantonCoin anonymous?
ScrantonCoin is backed with a blockchain that stores all transactions used with the currency, which can be viewed by anybody. However, each transaction on the blockchain is itself, anonymous.
Can you mine ScrantonCoin?
No, ScrantonCoin cannot be mined as all tokens have already been created.
What is the main goal of ScrantonCoin?
The main goal is to motivate students to obtain ScrantonCoin through student engagement within the university. For businesses, it acts as a marketing tool; driving students to their business to spend the coins they have earned.
What is ScrantonCoin History?
ScrantonCoin began in Fall 2018 as an educational experiment created by Dr. Ahmed Gomaa. It was designed as a campus-scale model to explore how a local digital currency can support student engagement, peer exchange, and local business participation—all recorded on a public blockchain trail.
Today, ScrantonCoin operates as an independent educational ecosystem centered on the Decision Lab teaching simulation:
Earn -> Transfer -> Spend -> Reflect
Early discussions and scholarly collaboration with faculty colleagues helped shape the core concepts and produced related publications, conference presentations, and public lectures.
