a literal shitcoin - mine crypto by pooping

Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology’s Cho Jae-weon is an urban and environmental engineering professor.

He has cooked up an eco-friendly toilet. But not only that. Cho’s loo is connected to a lab that uses poop to produce biogas and fertilizer.

If a person poops around 500 grams of the good stuff daily, then the result is 50 litres of methane gas, generating 0.5kWh of power. This will power a car for 1.2km, or 0.75 miles.

Professor Cho has developed a cryptocurrency called Ggool (it translates as honey) to entice people to poop where it will be put to good use. Every person who donates a poop in the special throne earns 10 Ggool.

Already, the Ggool can be used to buy stuff. Students at the university can buy things like coffee, noodles and books on campus.
