We have posted 3 videos within the past few months highlighting all the ongoing improvements and development of the upcoming MapBox interface.  Check them out here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCERFXiLn0uClFHO9QV0gA2w

hi, guys! geocoin is really interesting thing and as the whole idea too. the question is whether this coin has any intrinsic value? or what advantage or benefit I will be given if I buy this coin? can I buy something for this coin? this is just only like game idea or something bigger than that? thanks  

but anyway I like this idea and this coin regardless of whether it has any financial attractiveness or not

Thanks for update !

Can you please use some other screen capturing software that does not frame skip. It's really annoying and software looks buggy and laging.

Most people have no idea what geocaching is, also it is kind of hard to believe that you can place coins like that securely anywhere in the world and a person can go to that spot and scoop them up.

What is the current coin total?

Should be around 3,050,000 right?

Yes that is correct, I calculate the current amount at 3,047,792


There is a massive community of active geocachers worldwide and the number of geocaches is up in the millions.  According to geocaching.com, the community includes over 800 thousand active geocachers and 2.8 million geocaches worldwide.

Sorry about the screen capture software, I will look into replacing it before our next video.

Is there a bounty for sosmed?

geocoin.cash does this so maybe you should just go try it?

UPDATE: Squashed a few more bugs this morning affecting the geoJSON vector overlays

Is there anything fans can do to help the coin in any way?

Is there anything fans can do to help the coin in any way?

Here's a few suggestions
- Tell your friends about GEO and the upcoming launch of the new MapBox interface
- Share our tweets
- Post on social media
- Try and hunt down a physical trackable GeoCoin and help it on it's journey from geocache to geocache around the world
- Buy/Sell GEO

Let's keep it GEOing!!

This is a great coin for geocachers, and a geocaching app that can go mainstream in the Geocaching community is important. This is all happening thanks to the hard work from the dev. Geocoin can REALLY stand apart from othercoins if some sort of FINTECH feature was also involved. Im not sure what that would entail. Just a thought. It would also attract a lot more investors. Maybe help get that article in FORBES.

Yea, sir Richard Branson will read that article and buy all geocoins by one click, lol. He likes invest in crypto. Need only 165 BTC(~less than half of $ million) to do that, not so much.

Having a GeoCoin/GeoCashing app has always been part of my plan, my focus in the near term is to get the new MapBox interface up and running.  I agree the app would definitely draw more people and attention to the community and maybe even land us a publication.

Richard Branson would also need all GeoCoin community members to have weak hands in order to suck them all in, haha.

Better at least get some publications in other media before Forbes. And better make any publication in any news media before application release.
Look at iPhone or any AAA-game, or any other product. They all make publications before release and makes people wait release. Then they make news after release only for make people notified.
More publications gives you big chances to be reposted by Forbes and other big media.
After publication you'll get a lot of whales, who easly invets more tahn +$500 000 in crypto.

wow you are doing really great im going to start being very bullish on this coin even more so than I have been. Anyone with week hands will regret it in about a year.
