Sadly, a lot of the cryptocurrency news that we write about on Naked Security involves cybercriminals getting mixed up in things, often with depressing results.
Well, we're delighted to bring you much happier news today of a cryptocurrency "Venture" with a lighter side, this time under the "Leadership" of a certain Mr. Goxx.
In case you're wondering, Mr. Goxx is a hamster.
His human "Staff" have equipped his regular hamster cage with an interconnected wooden box in which he's able to decide which cryptocoins to trade, as the whim takes him, and whether to buy new coins, or sell off some of his existing hodlings.
Like many human fitness-even-at-work fanatics with their online exercise bicycles and treadmill desks, Mr. Goxx works out while he works.
Still, we thought you'd enjoy this cryptocurrency story for the simple reasons that we think it's [a] fun for the hamster [b] it's fun for the humans building the hardware and software to make it work and no one is trying to swindle anyone by promising impossible financial returns on fraudulent cryptocoin investments.
