    How does blockchain make karma more secure and useful? Isn’t it just a count of upvotes stored in a database? Or is community points something different?

      By putting them on the blockchain it would at least make them a public database, where you’d be able to see if Reddit admins tried to do any tampering.

        Except that if you control the majority of computers that said blockchain is stored on, you can just edit the chain. And now that’s the “official” story.
