Title: Crypto goes to Geocaching Post by: cygan on January 11, 2020, 05:41:13 PM i had this in mind all the time and today is the time to create a thread with the topic geocaching and crypto. ;)
i personally have been a very active geocacher for several years now and find the whole game a great balance to my professional life. for those who don't know geocaching - here you can learn everything about this game https://www.geocaching.com/ (https://www.geocaching.com/) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geocaching (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geocaching) i would like to make a list of various caches in this thread that have something to do with Bitcoin or the cryptocurrency in general. since the game is played all over the world i would list the caches per country i would be very happy if there are several cacher among the users here in the forum and if you would tell me the caches from your country with reference to Bitcoin/crypto. i would then extend the list in this post Australia
Canada
Czechia
Denmark
France
Germany
Hong Kong
Netherlands
New Zealand
Poland

I’m sure with a little innovation a great game could come out of it. thats right. as a crypto fan, solving a mystery cache is a lot of fun and you can solve this type of mystery faster than someone who is not involved in crypto Title: Re: Crypto goes to Geocaching Post by: cygan on January 12, 2020, 11:55:54 AM upadted the list (in first post) with some geocaches in france, poland and slovakia

Title: Re: Crypto goes to Geocaching Post by: iluvbitcoins on February 06, 2020, 01:19:28 AM Can you help me understand how can geocaches be bitcoin related?
My understanding of geocaching is just hiding a notepad with a pen in a waterproof box :D Title: Re: Crypto goes to Geocaching Post by: cygan on February 06, 2020, 08:03:26 AM Can you help me understand how can geocaches be bitcoin related? My understanding of geocaching is just hiding a notepad with a pen in a waterproof box :D there are caches listed here that take up the topic of cryptocurrencies or bitcoin in their listing, nothing more ;) Title: Re: Crypto goes to Geocaching Post by: cygan on February 28, 2020, 04:20:05 PM some caches from czechia and from new zealand added to the list :)

Did you hear for XYO Network project ? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3040825.0 Its a first, decentralized Proof of Location network. You download app on your smartphone and by moving in the real world, device determine if you are at specific XY- coordinates and as reward you get "coins" which can be exchanged for XYO, ethereum based token. So its called geomining. There is a lot of use cases like payment-upon-delivery services, package tracking, etc. and everything is recorded on blockchain in real time.

you can now find 3 new mysteries in germany Title: Re: Crypto goes to Geocaching Post by: cygan on November 28, 2020, 01:02:36 PM BTCump
2 more new mysteries from germany added to the list Title: Re: Crypto goes to Geocaching Post by: Vod on December 03, 2020, 02:30:22 AM very interesting have you tried all this yourself? would be a nice opportunity to collect some XYO coins while geocaching I don't think this would ever go mainstream. I played Ingress (https://ingress.com/)for a few years. There were location spoofers everywhere. Niantic (https://nianticlabs.com/en/)could catch them by movement anomalies (move >10m in a second in a wooded area) but if you don't need to keep your game open all the time and just start it after you spoof your location they can't detect that. Crypto investors would not stick around long. Title: Re: Crypto goes to Geocaching Post by: pozmu on December 08, 2020, 02:26:37 PM I don't think this would ever go mainstream.

Crypto investors would not stick around long. There is network of NFC/ bluetooth location markers, at least in Poland, it's used to find missing luggage etc. Plus you could think of some kind "Proof of visiting location", so other users have to confirm that EDIT: XYO has Proof of Location :) Title: Re: Crypto goes to Geocaching Post by: Vod on December 12, 2020, 12:24:48 AM Plus you could think of some kind "Proof of visiting location", so other users have to confirm that A "proof of location" service would be something you could make money off - even if you limited it to the country. For example, taking a picture in front of the Eiffel Tower would prove you were in France. AI can eliminate the fakes, but it needs to be automated. XYO does not have the feature. I can spoof my location as mentioned. I can duplicate the bluetooth/nfc id, even in Poland. Edit: I guess AI can be trained to take any selfie and calculate the exact location of the sun. First person to do that (2021 probably) will have a very nice $$ patent. Title: Re: Crypto goes to Geocaching Post by: cygan on January 25, 2021, 06:58:46 PM BTCump

there is now also the first 'Bitcoin' cache in australia, where you need a fishing rod (to get to the cache) ;) Title: Re: Crypto goes to Geocaching Post by: dlystyr on September 06, 2022, 01:39:10 AM For the last 10 - 12 years I have been BIG into Geocaching. I have hid quite a few.
I am from the UK and would be more than willing to place some about. Is there anything specific you would like me to add in the capsules? Maybe a link to this thread or even a note how to get started in BTC / Crypto? Title: Re: Crypto goes to Geocaching Post by: cygan on September 07, 2022, 02:32:39 PM ✂ Is there anything specific you would like me to add in the capsules? Maybe a link to this thread or even a note how to get started in BTC / Crypto? it would be great if through the caches, which have the theme Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies, people then deal with it or deal with the topic Title: Re: Crypto goes to Geocaching Post by: cygan on November 06, 2022, 01:38:53 PM @BitcoinPenny
do you also do geocaching in your free time or how did this tweet come about? ;) 8) to send a Bitcoin penny as a travelbug into the wide world would also be a cool idea ;D https://i.ibb.co/hLXtTzN/61248618.png https://twitter.com/thebitcoinpenny/status/1588577853683404800 (https://twitter.com/thebitcoinpenny/status/1588577853683404800) Title: Re: Crypto goes to Geocaching Post by: cygan on January 26, 2023, 06:42:41 PM after a few months now follows the first update in 2023
