Manchester Co-op Gets a Hand From Dogecoin to Smash Fundraising Target
22 April, 2014
A group of Mancunians fundraising for an ethical coffee shop and creative space have received a helping hand from the city’s small dogecoin community.
Manchester-based Future Artists Live Creative Coop was raising money to open The Home of Honest Coffee on King Street, which currently houses at least eight empty shop spaces. Halfway through their Kickstarter campaign, they were slightly behind their targets when the dogecoin donations started coming in.
Mark Ashmore, one of the key figures driving the campaign, was not exactly sure what to do with the $10 worth of dogecoin when he first received them.
