Σύμφωνα με ένα αντίγραφο ενός εσωτερικού μηνύματος ηλεκτρονικού ταχυδρομείου που δημοσιεύτηκε στο Reddit όταν ανακαλύφθηκε το συμβάν, η ασυνήθιστη δραστηριότητα ανακαλύφθηκε από έναν ερευνητή, που το ανεφέρε στους διαχειριστές οι οποίοι σύντομα ανακάλυψαν το πρόγραμμα για το Dogecoin .

"Any participation in digital mining operations or for-profit competitions using Harvard assets is strictly prohibited for obvious reasons," the statement said.

"In fact, all activities that use our common resources for any non-scientific purpose that results in personal gain are also expressly prohibited."

The cryptocurrency, Dogecoin is based on the Litecoin format and is traded at a rate of approximately $0,0012, or 002 MBTC.
