Kodak, it seems, is the latest company to jump on the cryptocurrency bandwagon, which if nothing else had effectively pumped up their stock price:

There'll be a cryptocurrency called KODAKCoin, which they suggest can be used to pay for image use, and a blockchain-based image licensing system called KODAKOne, which seems to include Pixsy-style infringement detection. They've also announced a conventional Bitcoin mining scheme where you pay for capacity on the 'KashMiner' rigs they are installing at Rochester, driven by cheap surplus capacity from the old company power station.
Smart business move or desperate bid for a piece of the action?
