“Designed to fail” in 2013, but failed to fail.

“Designed to fail” in 2013, but failed to fail.

Born as a joke on May 3, 2013 (26th coin listed on CMC), forked from Litecoin, Junkcoin chain was full of bugs and left for dead in 2016. Restarted by Junkies and fixed by devs in 2024, it aims to give financial freedom and power back to the people.

Announcement of the creation of Junkcoin (JKC) on BitcoinTalk on May 4, 2013.

Junkcoin is Litecoin's son and Doge's grandfather!

Junkcoin: A 2013 Classic

Once upon a time, in the wild west of crypto, Junkcoin was born into a legendary family.

As the grandson of Bitcoin and the legit son of Litecoin, Junkcoin carried forward the legacy of innovation… and a touch of mess.

In turn, it became the father of Luckycoin, paving the way for Bellscoin and the iconic Dogecoin.

Created as a joke in 2013, Junkcoin was one of the first memecoins in history.

How the POWerful lineage of Scrypt coins began…

Lineage of Bitcoin, Litecoin, Junkcoin, Luckycoin, Bellscoin and Dogecoin.
