Title: Mining crypto by walking
Post by: Abiky on January 11, 2020, 01:02:00 AM
A couple of years ago, there was a crypto project named "MangoCoinz" which allowed anyone to earn crypto by simply walking. The app used the smartphone's pedometer to keep track of the steps taken by an specific person. This encouraged anyone to exercise their body while getting paid in return. While this was great back then, the project is no longer being developed. Something like this would've been great to have in the mainstream world today, but I guess there was lack of demand for it back then.

I'd hope that someday a new dev team takes charge of the "MangoCoinz" project or simply create a fork of their own, to allow people to "mine" crypto by walking. It's completely revolutionary way of doing exercise while getting paid in return. Maybe launching an ERC-20 token with its own app will do the trick? Whichever way it is, I look forward towards the revival of an app that would work just like "MangoCoinz" did in its early days.

Do you think something like this will be viable in the future? ???

I am the one who has been mining this coin. Actually it only needs to be shaken, no need to walk either. A very good coin actually but unfortunately it's dead. Even though the price was pretty good, the results were comparable to the mining methods.
If Mangocoinz really wants to be resurrected, I'm very happy because there is at least an interesting way to get crypto.

I think this idea is not realistic, although encouraging exercise is very good but the demand for this kind of money will not be available. Who would want this kind of money if everyone could make it by walking,

I love the concept of simply walking to earn crypto, but is it really feasible in the end?

There is no free lunch. It's too simple, we walk and get paid. Maybe we don't understand how the business works. It depends on who is behind the project, and how they understand the business.

the idea was good ,its rewarding users by walking but the problem about that is . Is there away developers can earn for such a project if they can then we can see many project will create the same as this one. But if not profitable for developers then theres no way they will waste time for this.

A more feasible would be a token with it's own fitness band. That way they'll have a revenue by selling bands while rewarding their faithful users with rewards for doing what the users thought of doing while buying the band. It would be like a cashback for properly using a product. It would be more effective if an established fitness brand come up with this idea. And atleast give me credits (and a paycheck).

I just wanna know how long people need to walk to gather single crypto. This is possible to happen but the problem was if is it worth to try that right now? I just remember the main purpose of mining to create the decentralization to secure the blockchain and it may not be achieved with such kind of mining. If that will be used by meme blockchain and it may possible to happen for sure.
How many people are required everyday to secure the blockchain.  :D

This idea is stupid, it's trivial to create thousands of virtual smartphones that will report that they are moving, and there would be no way distinguish between them and legitimate users. All these "proof of human" type of coins fail to create a truly secure system, because this problem is quite fundamental and people outside of crypto couldn't solve it to this day, so how can some noname startup succeed here?

Well if there idea will click and many users will use their app for sure there are advertisers will come to them and that will generate them a revenue but I really wonder if there are people who will use this app since apparently this idea is totally boring and battery waster since for sure no people want their battery to get dead earlier for just a little compsations.

This was my first crypto coin i get at that time for free and it was possible to withdraw to PayPal on first phase and after who want could exchange it to use crypto exchange, was good the way was mined, and also not turn hot the phone when the app was used. Don't know if will be viable but is still a good idea if someone will do a new coin on similar concept.

And to answer to another who complain that someone could create virtual smartphone that simulate moving will not work, because the devs of that mangocoinz know what they do and only real phone moving give the coins at that time.

How much will we earn on each step we take? I mean like, it's a good idea for people who likes walking and into cryptocurrency, or maybe this could be a good idea to encourage others to have a healthy lifestyles by walking. But the problem is how long do we have to walk to see what we got?  This one sure needs a lot of development. Some people may agree on this but others may not, I think.

walking to earn crypto looks like weird for me. How it can? how the bussines model so it would be alive for long time?
as far I know, mining needs much sources to do. it is used for protecting network. if the mining is just walking like this, it wont work IMO

based on earning, if user is given much amount, inflation rises. if user is given less, no one interested
it is such as dillema. dev must consider this carefully.

Speaking of mining, it will never end, everyone thinks of how to mining easily, safely, low cost and satisfying results. Before it only reminds us of the meaning of mining itself, it is a work that is not easy and consumes energy and time and costs, in crypto mining is the same, it will spend time, money, and energy not to mention the repair of the device used and the trouble. alone. There are many that offer mining via smartphone, mining via investment, and now you can say mining while on the go. I think it will not be effective, until now there has not been a breakthrough in mining technology that is truly satisfying in terms of results that are offset by the expenses already used. I think mining walking is not necessarily a good choice in the future, unless there is a technology that has a minimum of 50:50 results with expenses such as mining using gear and rig.

Post by: Zicadis on January 11, 2020, 05:48:12 AM
Any cryptocurrency that can be gained so easily can likely be gamed. There would to be 2 systems in place to prevent this using your idea;

1. Walkers would need to somehow unequivocably prove that they were indeed walking, rather than strapping their phones to one of those Pokemon Go-esque fake walking devices.
2. The reward would need to be so small that nobody would bother faking it, or running 100 phones at once to multiply their rewards.

If (1) is true, then the barrier to entry will be too high to make it casual. If (2) is true, then it won't properly incentivize people to use it.

With that said, I do like the concept of being incentivized to improve, but it's a hard model to monetize. For example Healthy Wage (https://www.healthywage.com/) offers up to $10,000 for meeting some difficult weight loss goals, but requires substantial proof.

There are also platforms where you can bet on a weight loss plan, and people will bet against you. If you succeed, you win the counterbets, if you lose, you've gotta pay up.

This was a good step towards human health as this type of project encourages human beings to go for exercise and become healthy. I have recently seen some other good projects same like mangocoins like stepchain,hustle. which are doing the same mission through the crypto tokens.

As we move towards IOT, every of our activities would be connected. And as there are different companies working with different product, it would be a trouble to shift from one ecosystem to other. That's why companies need to come up with blockchain based technology to seamlessly communicate between one another and reward users for their use.

Really i don't like the use case and i think that is why it never worked out, its almost same thing with stepchain project that claim you can make money while doing your fitness exercises, here is the bounty link if you feel like checking it out

I don't think that you can make this kind of system work.

There are too many loopholes to be exploited, in my humble opinion. One could very easily bypass any sort of anti-botting system especially when distribution is supposed to be for the masses. There is a trade of between accessibility and the ability for it to be abused.

Anyhow, it's an interesting idea, but not one for coin makers to capitilize off.

One of the main reason why this project didnt get enough attraction or interest.We know that we are already on era
where we do make ourselves too lazy to walk just like on having a simple hoverboard or people do have their own cars
to go into a destination.This will fit out to those people who are health conscious and  crypto enthusiast but for majority?
This one would be highly rejected.

if you see the majority it means that this technology should be applied to the driver but is it possible to apply if it is yes then the project will be in the future

This new concept with good purposes, people get healthy and money at the same time. People need to adapt with the idea but I'm afraid the project only get negative respond about it. Developer only need to fix how the strategy can works, if they take parking, gym center or healthy adviser as their concept I think the project will survive. Let's hope many developer will came with new healthy idea in 2020 because crypto market can keep standing mostly because of them.

It would be great to have these kind of technologies so that people will be encouraged to become healthy again.
An incentive while exercising is a great exchange, sweatcoin does have this and I think until now they still have the app running.
But I dunno where it can be exchanged.

yes, I remember that application, I'm also a MangoCoinz application user. I used to enjoy the benefits when mangocoinz entered the market, because the price was quite good. But unfortunately this application is no longer being developed by developers, maybe because users don't really like this miner application. but I think, rather than a developer making another altcoin miner application, it is better to make altcoin by making miner applications through smartphones like mangocoinz but with new innovations that will be many users and utilized by the crypto community.

I played this before I became an active user of this forum, I am still learning how to get free crypto money and I found it on YouTube, as we know this project has been dead a long time even though it has an interesting concept, even though it was developed again it would be better and need to add an active location for the user, at least the user doesn't cheat by just shaking the application so that it's easier to get their coins, to be honest this wallet app teaches us to want to move sports and provide health benefits for us too, but people use it improperly , I also hope that this project will come again in the future

I saw several more projects that came up with the idea of cryptocurrency mining through the making of physical exercises. I don’t remember the names of projects, but these projects also could not succeed. most likely now it’s just not necessary because there are very few users on the market. for sure when the cryptocurrency becomes common and will be used by a large number of people on the planet, then such a project can be implemented


Title: Re: Mining crypto by walking
Post by: desticy on January 11, 2020, 01:11:06 PM
In general, the idea is interesting. But I do not believe in such projects in which we profit from nothing. Yes, it’s quite suitable as points, but what will determine the value of coins mined? Speculation?
In order to make a profit, you need to create something, in this case there will be no difficulties in pricing the token.

Mining crypto by walking is just like giving away free coins, honestly this won't work in this world we are in now, we need something different and better than what we've encounter in crypto space before, developers need to start thinking about something else not stupid ideas that won't help

I think it is, the only problem is when people find an exploit for this.  Remember the game pokemon go.  We search for pokemon and battle it while we are walking or moving from one place to another.  Then comes an exploit where you can virtually move yourself by running some apps.  I think this will be one of the challenge if such project appears in the future.


Title: Re: Mining crypto by walking
Post by: EdenDice on January 11, 2020, 04:07:20 PM
That was mining by sharing not by just walking through. And I think this type of technology won't work much, that coin is dead long ago and no one project dare to come with the same idea. I saw this type of feature on many eCommerce websites where you can get an offer by shaking the phone.

Post by: valuater on January 11, 2020, 04:25:04 PM
a few weeks ago I tried this kind of application called socioz, is a little different because it's like a pokemon go game and to play it, I think it's also a little time consuming because we also have to walk a few tens of meters or more to find the location of the token, then scan the token with our smartphone, we will get tokens, and tokens like this in my opinion will be more in the future and in my personal opinion is feasible if used as a positive activity for example to exercise, but if chasing rewards here I think a little torture

Post by: Kyraishi on January 13, 2020, 11:23:51 PM
I don't find this type of emission mechanism to be interesting.

The fact that it can be extremely inflationary due to the fact that it's a matter of time before someone comes up with an exploit that takes advantage of the system basically defeats the entire purpose of having a fair distribution mechanism in the first place. There is really no way of ensuring that this system doesn't get abused without having to KYC identify everyone, which is a big no-no for all altcoin projects.

So yeah, I'd say that it's not in the least innovative, unfortunately.

Ideas like that are actually fun and easy for everyone to understand, but they can't be made serious about collecting coins and making a major income. Because this is only for entertainment and unique ideas to fill spare time when you are not carrying out strenuous activities. Maybe at this time it needs innovation like that of MangoCoinz so that the altcoin ecosystem is even more interesting. Thank you for discussing MangoCoinz, it reminded me of that time when I knew that coins were unique and entertaining.  ;)

I think the most important is not how to obtain it, but although they give you free coins/tokens but how they maintain their coin in market. And something like that only make new coin that don't make good benefit in market for traders, or maybe for their investors.

Post by: lousie9 on January 14, 2020, 08:11:23 AM
If for a clear income something like this is very good to develop especially if the application really only pays on foot then it's very good but whether for business applications like this can cover the revenue for the developer team of the application of course for marketing matters like very ineffective because developers only incur no cost of entry to the developer.

It seems nice but not everyone will surely love this kind of concept. It's a win-win situation for those who wants to exercise and get fit because at the same time, they can earn. But not everyone will give time walking just to earn small amount I guess?? And how can they earn profit if they'll be giving money by just walking. Aside from advertisement??

It will be a fun project but to have a valuation for the token they create for you to workout is just outrageous to imagine and the future of the project was known, you cannot imagine that every project can have valuation but for you to have a real valuation you need to have some utility that can create business on its own and you cannot have valuation from thin air and all of these projects fail because they expect valuation out of thin air and that is not how economy function.

Post by: the rise on January 14, 2020, 09:08:26 AM
I remember about lyfe tokens, the similarities with Mangocoinz were not much different, but for some reason there was no big progress at that time even though the project was already very revolutionary with their smart watches and not just limited to the android application. I think this type of project hasn't gained much interest because investors are still more inclined to be fast money oriented, they are still forgetting projects with real use case concepts that are more slower growth.

In contrast, I myself am not sure about that, although in my opinion it is very good but on the other hand such projects will be used by irresponsible people. Just as there are many cases of referral fraud, certainly projects like this will be easily cheated and also use bots as if people are walking, which in turn will only detrimental to the company. People are crazy now because their orientation is only money.

Post by: Bossfidelity on January 14, 2020, 09:33:35 AM
I personally don't see a viable use case for earning simply by walking. It does not fulfil anything that a client would be interested in paying for. I guess that explains why the project was abandoned by the developers. The initiative is cool, but it may not sell more after the ICO.


Title: Re: Mining crypto by walking
Post by: lixer on January 14, 2020, 11:28:24 AM
But, how would the project itself earn revenues if it pays peoples just for walking? I am sure that the pedometers in the mobile devices won't pay any such application. They might generate a revenue from displaying ads on their application but for what period would it be valid?

I think they could only generate minimum income from such ad campaigns and they need to pay their clients which would be using their application for mining cryptocurrencies just by walking. They might perhaps shift from the "Cryptocurrencies" to their specific token which they could reward the users who use their smartphone for mining via walking but how would they create a demand for such token? Things like this should be considered before starting a project and perhaps it might be the thing which stopped the regulation of the "MangoCoinz".

First said that this idea is good, but in reality it is still somewhat unreliable. It is possible that many people will use free phones to swipe free cryptocurrencies. This will lead to the proliferation of this cryptocurrency, so this coin is unlikely to succeed, so other technologies are needed to realize your ideas. The cost is too low and needs improvement. So put your thoughts elsewhere.

All right. The main thing is technology. In itself, walking brings only local benefit to the object that walks.
However, if it were possible to create a technology in which the kinetic energy created by walking would be transmitted and transformed into another type of energy, for example, electric, then this would be really useful and interesting.

The concept was really awesome. This will definitely work for people who are lazy :)
It's unfortunate that this project is dead, but I heard about a similar project called step chain where it's encouraging its users to walk or exercise in return for its tokens.

But, how would the project itself earn revenues if it pays peoples just for walking? I am sure that the pedometers in the mobile devices won't pay any such application. They might generate a revenue from displaying ads on their application but for what period would it be valid?

I think they could only generate minimum income from such ad campaigns and they need to pay their clients which would be using their application for mining cryptocurrencies just by walking. They might perhaps shift from the "Cryptocurrencies" to their specific token which they could reward the users who use their smartphone for mining via walking but how would they create a demand for such token? Things like this should be considered before starting a project and perhaps it might be the thing which stopped the regulation of the "MangoCoinz".
it seems almost similar to POS mining if I'm not mistaken, reward is a common trigger for initial activity, and then all income is based on supply and demand on the exchange market. Developers are more concerned with aspects of circulation first and then start creating new features to increase user interest to start top-up balances and start exploring many premium features in one application.

That's kinda sad actually. I never got to know about that coin.

the idea was good ,its rewarding users by walking but the problem about that is . Is there away developers can earn for such a project if they can then we can see many project will create the same as this one. But if not profitable for developers then theres no way they will waste time for this.

I am thinking of them making a device like a watch or any wrist device that would be pretty convenient for people and they can sell it from that. I just don't know if such device that small would be possible though.

I think the most important is not how to obtain it, but although they give you free coins/tokens but how they maintain their coin in market. And something like that only make new coin that don't make good benefit in market for traders, or maybe for their investors.
Still, the main point of this certain application is to promote healthy lifestyle by means of carrot on a stick. And it's good since most people nowadays won't do stuff unless they receive a compensation in return. Hopefully this application gets kicking again since it is a nice way to help people who are demotivated in earning money. In the issue of how well it'd put up in the market, long as everyone supports this program it'll keep itself on its own.

I remember about lyfe tokens, the similarities with Mangocoinz were not much different, but for some reason there was no big progress at that time even though the project was already very revolutionary with their smart watches and not just limited to the android application. I think this type of project hasn't gained much interest because investors are still more inclined to be fast money oriented, they are still forgetting projects with real use case concepts that are more slower growth.

I saw that Lyfe token back 2018, it was actually a great token almost similar to this MangoCoinz. Lyfe ICO was sold out as seen on their ICO thread here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5048366.0

It attracts investors because the advisor of this project was part of the Indodax exchange but in the end it was dumped by the investors as it was launched during the bear market. Right now its still in Tokenomy exchange but not really valuable. I guess this kind of concept doesn't work for its easy to cheat.

I have tried this, but because there is little interest, this also dies, there is actually an easier way to shake, but if walking is also good for our health, this is a unique way but only development needs to be added so that this can last long.

Such a good idea in order to encourage someone to exercise by just walking and earning money at the same time by doing this. The only thing that lives us wondering is, what will the project developer benefit from this project? I'm wondering if they are Physical fitness trainers that really love to encourage people to exercise, or are they eco-friendly people that love to reduce pollutions in the air by lessening the vehicles used by these people that's why they encourage them to walk rather than riding a vehicle? Well, I don't know. I'm sure project developers will keep this kind of project if it will be beneficial to them.

As you may know there is no an easy way to earn crypto. Investing and trading are indeed the popular place as of now but since investing and trading aren't easy for those investor to gain profit especially for newbie which I think they will look a place which can give an easy/instant profit for them moreover to gain passive income.

Maybe the concept that you explain is really suitable for now. I hope there will be some places which can give profit with doing anything for the user. Such as staking coin or lending coin maybe it will be better. And I'm sure if there is some trusted places which give them maybe it will be new era for this indurstry.

A more feasible would be a token with it's own fitness band. That way they'll have a revenue by selling bands while rewarding their faithful users with rewards for doing what the users thought of doing while buying the band. It would be like a cashback for properly using a product. It would be more effective if an established fitness brand come up with this idea. And atleast give me credits (and a paycheck).

This nature of cryptocurrency hopefully be adopted not only in the fitness and health marker but also to other daily transactions marker. It is my dream to see that futuristic society where crypro will be often used. Though I know that it will still take a long time and many other things will need to happen first. But the continuously adoption of crypto to other industries is a great help to manifest that vision.

It seems to me that the most important thing is that the blockchain is already recognized by society and will be fully used in various fields of human activity, because even devices that do not want to accept cryptocurrency begin to test the blockchain in legal, economic and other sectors of the state system.  But do not forget the fact that cryptocurrency is a pleasant and profitable addition to the blockchain, which increases the possibilities of using the blockchain so that the society receives many times better services.

I will not be surprised because there is an obvious reason why this project died - No demand for the mined coins. If everyone walks (mines), who will buy the coins? What other uses can the coin be utilized for? Since there is nothing of note, the volume on exchange will slowly die out and less people will use the app. Death of the project comes next.

Post by: sana54210 on January 15, 2020, 08:19:51 AM
there is an existing app that gives reward thru altcoin, the project is STEPCHAIN, just download the app, for android user also download google fit, for ios download apple health, just simple open the app and do some small jog or by walking the app will count your steps, 30 steps is converted to 1 STEP COIN, their IEO round 2 was concluded in probit, feel free to check the project that promotes to have good health and use blockchain technology to encourage to people.
I checked out about them but can't find any detailed information about how much funds were raised, etc. They seems legit and also it is a good initiative to start making some STEP coins by doing some exercise but I still doubt how would the project itself earn some profits for itself?

Moreover, I do not really think it would have that great demand in the future so it might just settle as a dead coin once listed on exchanges. I can see that they just completed their IEO phase 2 a month back but I cannot really see how many funds have they raised. There might be a lot of investors who might feel this kind of project makes them land up in profits but yet there would be some who would not consider this worth investing.

the purpose of the project was that it would be good to indirectly make people walk where now the average person uses a vehicle even if only a short distance away.
but in the investment field I think the benefits have not yet been seen I mean what are they investing for?
if they find these reasons then a project like this is worth investing in.

You are right, many projects come with dreams and planning that we can say mature. but the reality on the ground is certainly different. there are market factors and other factors that can hinder the development of the project and even make the project stop.

there is actually few applications that are rewarding users for movement, and i am using actifit (actifit.io), that is on steemit blockchain, and rewards you for body movement. tokens cannot be retrieved for money at the moment, but there is a possibility for tokens to be exchanged for steemit upvote, and through upvote for money, which is good
of course, it is not much, but it is a startup, and STEEM price can upswing back in future

If you walk every day to school , work or you simply do sports , then yes , a coins like this can be useful for this type of people but this won't solve the problem that only a minority of the population will use this mining type in order to make some extra income.

In my own opinion, it is really a great innovation that you can actually mine and earn crypto by just walking because it is a great way to encouraged people to exercise everyday. Maybe the reason why this mangocoinz is dead today because it has no volume that no one is trading with it.

Its not what is to actually focus on when coins can be mined by just walking, it can simply be manipulated by automation by someone who would just want to make money. This isn't going to be secure. If it can be done, most of the cheaters out there are going to flock to gain certain amount of coins everyday just to dump the coin.

Title: Re: Mining crypto by walking
Post by: Abiky on January 16, 2020, 11:47:15 PM
This idea is stupid, it's trivial to create thousands of virtual smartphones that will report that they are moving, and there would be no way distinguish between them and legitimate users. All these "proof of human" type of coins fail to create a truly secure system, because this problem is quite fundamental and people outside of crypto couldn't solve it to this day, so how can some noname startup succeed here?

In some way, the system can be cheated by anyone worldwide. But it can be perfected over time, if there's demand for something like this from people in the mainstream world. What I know is that getting paid by just walking, could lead us towards a much healthier society in the future. A mechanism that would prevent cheating via sensors and the use of a camera, would make this more practical for mainstream use. Instead of making a cryptocurrency from scratch (like the MangoCoinz project did), one could create an ERC-20 token specifically for this purpose. With mainstream adoption, I'm sure that "mining crypto by walking" will be a big hit for years to come.


Any cryptocurrency that can be gained so easily can likely be gamed. There would to be 2 systems in place to prevent this using your idea;

1. Walkers would need to somehow unequivocably prove that they were indeed walking, rather than strapping their phones to one of those Pokemon Go-esque fake walking devices.
2. The reward would need to be so small that nobody would bother faking it, or running 100 phones at once to multiply their rewards.

If (1) is true, then the barrier to entry will be too high to make it casual. If (2) is true, then it won't properly incentivize people to use it.

With that said, I do like the concept of being incentivized to improve, but it's a hard model to monetize. For example Healthy Wage (https://www.healthywage.com/) offers up to $10,000 for meeting some difficult weight loss goals, but requires substantial proof.

There are also platforms where you can bet on a weight loss plan, and people will bet against you. If you succeed, you win the counterbets, if you lose, you've gotta pay up.

I've thought of that at first. But with proper planning, developers could come up with a way to prevent cheating of the system. Believe me, monetizing the number of exercises a person does could turn out to be beneficial for society as we know it. But even if this never becomes a reality via the use of an app, at least it could be done "the hard way" (by rewarding people manually who provide proof of walking). Back in the day where MangoCoinz was popular, I used to have a lot of fun walking while getting paid in return. With enough demand, any project which decides to reward its users via walking will become successful in the long run. ;)

Post by: fuer44 on January 17, 2020, 12:04:34 AM
I think it is a new form, rather than suggesting medicine for disease prevention, exercise is the most effective activity for that. maybe in the future, mangocoinz can explore more to get liquidity from their tokens. not only mining on foot or jogging (sports) but also making products that support sports products that help in doing the sport. I think it will be more effective and can be synchronized with each other.

It just sad that it was created in times wherein bitcoin isn't that popular yet, this only shows that bitcoin can be easily be mined before. Nowadays, if such app is present I think that a lot will patronize it because all you need to do is walk and you are being paid in coins, you will have the chance to exercise while earning. I also hope that another team will be able to come up with something like this to encourage people to exercise and earn at the same time.

A way to motivate person to do something by rewarding them few cents for a whole month I guess. The team that created such project I could assume are people who are doing it for fun and there's nothing more to it. Even "mining by walking" doesn't make sense at the slightest. If mining in blockchain means solving math problem through the use of computing power, how walking around the neighbourhood could solve a math problem let alone millions of it.

It could be viable if well built. The developers probably need to take into consideration the possibility of people cheating to earn and dump. 
Lots of things will need to be put in place to keep people on the network...like a marketplace, a social media for joggers/runners/sports people etc..

How about mining difficulty? I guess if it becomes difficult to mine, people will stop exercising.

Here's a question, what if there's no people will run to mine cryptocurrency of them? IMO, it might be bad as in cryptocurrency, we need consistent mining to have transactions be efficient in a daily basis, or else, they still have mining facilities and nodes to operate while there are people using their app.

Last option is instead of mining, what about a faucet of crypto that will surely attract people to be healthy and walk everytime knowing that they could save fuels and will earn at the same time.

I've already heard about the app "MangoCoinz" before, but I didn't know that the project is no longer developed by now, I hope that the team come back and develop it again because it's really amazing to earn crypto by just walking, anyway, I have been using an app since 4 months which it's in the same concept as MangoCoinz, it's called "Sweatcoin" which it's available in the app store and play store as well. I've just earned really a good amount of coins as far as now, I really recommend it for people here.

It is great that this project exists. Perhaps vehicles will be stored. Everyone will keep a clean environment

It is a good idea to get paid for walking, but who will buy these tokens? What will be the use case for tokens? You can earn tokens, but nobody will buy tokens from you - thats mean that you not earned money, just some points.  :)

Good point. There might be no use for something that rewards you by simply doing nothing other than walking. It's important to keep in mind the use cases a cryptocurrency will bring, in order to take it as a serious investment for the long term. For the end user, getting paid while walking is a fun and rewarding task. But it's terrible for the sustainability of the underlying Blockchain network. Maybe that's why MangoCoinz failed in the first place?

I believe that something like this works best in a form of a token (ERC-20) than anything else. To keep the longevity of the crypto project, the dev could decide to give a very small reward to its users by walking. That way, the sell pressure will be reduced allowing the coin to maintain its price across the market. It would be something similar to a crypto faucet where you get paid fractions of a penny by just spending hours on it. At least, the idea is there. Making it something viral or popular within the mainstream world, is another story. Rewarding users with free coins by walking could turn out to be beneficial for the mainstream adoption of Blockchain technology. But I guess that there are other more important things to work on, besides this. Just my opinion :)

A couple of years ago, there was a crypto project named "MangoCoinz" which allowed anyone to earn crypto by simply walking. The app used the smartphone's pedometer to keep track of the steps taken by an specific person. This encouraged anyone to exercise their body while getting paid in return. While this was great back then, the project is no longer being developed. Something like this would've been great to have in the mainstream world today, but I guess there was lack of demand for it back then.

I'd hope that someday a new dev team takes charge of the "MangoCoinz" project or simply create a fork of their own, to allow people to "mine" crypto by walking. It's completely revolutionary way of doing exercise while getting paid in return. Maybe launching an ERC-20 token with its own app will do the trick? Whichever way it is, I look forward towards the revival of an app that would work just like "MangoCoinz" did in its early days.

Do you think something like this will be viable in the future? ???
It is really fun to earn cryptocurrency by just walking but it will be very difficult to attract investors in this kind of project because people will just focused in earning cryptocurrency for free that they always keep selling it, without buying it pr investing their money, that is why MangoCoinz failed in the first place.

A few years ago I read a news like this on "Coindesk"
The main target of this project was mining mangocoinz by working out or physical exercise, they wanted to promotes Fitness.
But, the hilarious thing is, people abuse their system by using washing machine  ;D ;D
People used to put their phones in the washing machine and generate a lot of mangocoinz during the spin cycle of washing machine.  :o :o

Lmao is that reall ?  :D
but if it's true there have been projects that have tried this idea I think they can start a new step and fix their weaknesses
and try to think how so that there will be no longer can found human wasing machines again lol

Yeah. I've figured that a model where you can earn "free money" by walking, will not be sustainable in the long run. Maybe letting users earn minuscule amounts of money (pennies?) over long periods of time, will work? But the underlying cryptocurrency would need to have real use cases for the mainstream world, in order to retain its value for the foreseeable future. As you've said before, MangoCoinz failed because it lacked a sustainable economic model for its survival. Not to mention, it was behind other cryptocurrencies in its marketing/promotion efforts.

If by any chance we're able to see something like this again, it might be in the form of an ERC-20 token. It's much easier for a startup or average Joe to reward people via an existing Blockchain network than making everything from scratch. But I guess that there are other more important things to focus on, besides letting people earn crypto by walking. At least, the idea is there. Making it a reality is another story. With so many ways to earn money with crypto today, there's no need to create a coin/token that would reward users by doing nothing other than walking. Just my opinion :)
