+ LIVE ON PUMP · TICKER RND

The idea was sketched before Doge.

In 2013, Billy Markus (@BillyM2k, Shibetoshi Nakamoto) created an empty GitHub repo named randomcoin—a quick test that never shipped. Thirteen years later, the community brought the vision to life. The original creator receives 100% of creator rewards.

SECTION_001 // THE_LORE

From empty repo to living meme

Billy has said it was just a quick test that did not go anywhere. But the name, ticker setup, and timing line up with a real spark—even if it never shipped back then.

  1. 2013

    The GitHub footprint

    On August 18, 2013, an empty repository called randomcoin appears under Billy’s GitHub—a breadcrumb from the era before Dogecoin took over the timeline.

    Doge, distance, and honesty

    Billy has talked openly about Doge’s early “random rewards (between 1–1m) cuz i thought it’d be funny,” and that he never got rich off Doge. This project is a different chapter: community-led, with creator fees routed back to him.

  3. Today

    Live on-chain

    After thirteen years, the vision is finally live—with the original creator receiving 100% of creator rewards. The story continues in public, one claim and one post at a time.

Sixteen minutes later

Lore from the community: exactly ~16 minutes after Billy’s first creator fee claim, he posted a four-word tweet—an understated wink at “random.”

GitHub check-in

When asked whether he still had access to his old GitHub, Billy replied with a single word: “yes.” It’s a small confirmation that lands big for the 2013 repo story.
