While the subject of this article is not fictitious, it doesn't seem to rise to the level of notability required for an independent article. Possibly should be merged with Cryptocurrency. Fiachra10003 (talk) 11:49, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This page is about both cryptocurrencies and cryptography. It is unsuited for a single one of these for merging. It can be duplicated to both, but that would be worse than keeping this article. It meets the WP:GNG, the sources are reliable, secondary, independent and give significant coverage. PhotographyEdits (talk) 14:24, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Photo' is correct - this clearly has more than sufficient sourcing and doesn't have a single logical merge target. With those both being the case, Keep is the logical outcome Nosebagbear (talk) 14:39, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This has been the subject of some controversy for an extended amount of time now. Let's go over the alternatives real quick: Editing -> article is short but in good shape. Tagging -> doesn't seem applicable. Merging -> As Nosebagbear pointed out, this article does not make sense as a section in either cryptocurrency or cryptography (if it should be merged at all, the slightly more sensible place would be the cryptocurrency article). Redirection -> Nope. Incubation -> Irrelevant.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Phiarc (talk • contribs) 17:20, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
