Scratch + Digital currency = AWESOMENESS
Hi guys, and I am here to announce my
ScratchCoins!
How do you get them?
Any love, favorite, or view will earn the project creator 5 ScratchCoins.
Any Follow will earn the user that got followed 10 ScratchCoins.
How do they work?
You can use your ScratchCoins at the Scratch Boutique, where you can buy…
Skins for your profile page
Badges for your profile (more on ‘em later)
Stuff to customize your digital Scratch Cat avatar!
What are badges?
Badges are little thingys that go beside your profile info. They are just for show-off or sumthin’.
What is an avatar?
An avatar is your own litle Scratch Cat that you can customize (See ‘How do they work’ section).
Bye, that's all for now!

No support! This would definitely increase competition and spam on Scratch, and not in a good way either!

But, it would be simple to use at least. I'll make a simulation of it now :D
EDIT: Nope, I don't wanna do it

No support. This would ruin Scratch on all levels.
No support, this defeats the purpose of scratch being an educational programming language.

Listen, It is a great idea, but the Scratch badges have been rejected as of here:
Authough the ScratchCoins seem to be a good idea, they can cause some problems:
Sorry, but no support.
10. Game badges/achievements
(Thanks Faillord!)
This would harm Scratch's purpose, and people would determine their social worth on the site based on achievements in games, and some users would act as if they are more important than others merely because they have more game badges.
Authough the ScratchCoins seem to be a good idea, they can cause some problems:
- Boasting, like "Hey Everyone! I got 300000000000000000000000000000000 Scratch coins"
- Lossing a follower, love, or favorite, meaning -5 coins? Or What? You can just click on your test account: Love, Unlove, Love, Unlove, Love, Unlove to get like 20 coins.
- Views is a bad idea. Since each time a computer opens the project and plays it, it counts as a view.
Sorry, but no support.

I feel like that would make Scratch more like a big social game…
This has been LHP. The dude that makes chiptune music ranging from “Meh” to “Nice” and then puts it in a studio
Do you want somebody to tell you what they think goes into good platformers? No? Well then don't view this project

No support.
A.) It would turn scratch into a hierarchy, which is a terrible thing.
B.) it would spur EVEN more of the people begging for loves and favorites, something that already plagues the community.
C.) The scratch team has already denied this
D.) Scratch is about programming, not some social bullcrud.
It's just a bad idea overall.
Edit: oh, and also, if this were inplemented, would you be ready for the constant spam of:
HEY GUYS LIOGHTING TLD ME HOW TO GETS 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 SCRATCHCOINS
JUST COPY THS MEASSGE ON 10 SCRATH PROJGETCS AND IT WIL APPER IN UR ACCOUNT

Yep. We have no intention of ever adding currency, badges, etc. That's not the point of Scratch. Please read the stickies before posting. Listen, It is a great idea, but the Scratch badges have been rejected as of here:10. Game badges/achievements

Thanks for your suggestion - it's great that you are trying to improve Scratch
However, badges / coins have been considered in the past (as mentioned in this topic) but ultimately rejected as we don't feel it would be a good fit for our community.
