Now, the 130-year-old company is trying an unlikely sort of comeback — one built by betting on cryptocurrency. An eon or two ago, Eastman Kodak was a bleeding-edge technology company. The company also struck a licensing deal for a Bitcoin-mining computer called the Kodak KashMiner, which allows users to generate their own cryptocurrency. Kodak’s stock rose more than 200 per cent after the announcements and has not fallen much since. Cryptocurrency experts also do not seem impressed with the Kodak KashMiner, a Bitcoin-mining machine advertised at this year’s CES electronics trade show.
