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. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

Guess the success of adoption will depend on what exchange rate is used for the BW$ vs US$.
Would have to be worth it for people to peak their interest.

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.

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.

If there's a coin you can mine based on jerking off, most of you wankers would be millionaires. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) 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?

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.
