Post by: Nasakiotoes on November 21, 2015, 01:57:00 PM Is that like bitburger or bitpoop? Where every burger you eat you get a coin and respectively every poop you take you get a coin? Just don't get the two confused or one might think that every time you eat your poop you get a coin.

Would have to be worth it for people to peak their interest. Title: Re: So I just read on BBC NEWS... Post by: solid12345 on November 21, 2015, 03:03:40 PM "This coin is a scam, all the fit people will instamine it!"

Post by: jwinterm on November 21, 2015, 03:08:39 PM There was already a coin that tried this, called Mangocoinz I think, but it's not really a coin in any sense of the word, just like a database on some guys computer that the app on your phone communicates with, afaik.

Best to tie your phone to the underside of a public bus or something, preferably one that does inner city routes where the speed traveled is sometimes hardly above a fast walking pace and with frequent stops.

Title: Re: So I just read on BBC NEWS... Post by: Spoetnik on November 21, 2015, 08:32:34 PM Some people will make some money emulating tons of phones on a computer... I'll start coding a GPS signal emulator that will fire off data to the coin servers LOL But wait ! Who says the dev's didn't do that before launch ? AKA: the private miner on launch scam. They will have to make sure it only runs on iOS and Android users can join in 6 months later hahaah Sorry MS guys you don't get to join in at all. Title: Re: So I just read on BBC NEWS... Post by: The Sceptical Chymist on November 21, 2015, 11:52:42 PM If there's a coin you can mine based on jerking off, most of you wankers would be millionaires. ;D
But for realz, I very much like the idea behind walking being the driving force behind a coin but methinks it's perhaps a tad too gimicky and I don't think anything like that would be successful. But who knows? Title: Re: So I just read on BBC NEWS... Post by: fr4nkthetank on November 22, 2015, 02:51:08 AM Holy crap you guise
This blew up a bit :) I'm going to try it when it comes out I guess, just out walking the dog. Title: Re: So I just read on BBC NEWS... Post by: Lionidas on November 22, 2015, 03:27:54 AM This is the silliest thing I have ever heard of coming out of the bitcoin/altcoin community.

Post by: P-Funk on November 22, 2015, 06:26:41 AM Quote Bitwalking hasn't officially released the algorithm used to verify steps but says it uses the handsets' GPS position and wi-fi connections to calculate the distance travelled. So you're letting some company track you all the time for pennies. I guess we're in a race to the bottom of the worth of privacy, with the dumbest of us out in front.

Title: Re: So I just read on BBC NEWS... Post by: Koamder on November 23, 2015, 11:10:22 AM There are too many ways to earn the coins without actual working. The system can be abused. It is not very encouraging.
