[endlessskill]

GEO to da moon!

[mfqrs3]

Usually when price spikes there is either a insider info or something similar, you don't throw 300k+$ on thin air

Maybe expect app release and then 10x, who knows.

Current marketcap is at  $3,681,119... and other coins that are at 100th position at coinmarketcap has 10x more that does nothing and you probably has never seen them or heard anything from them... do you own math and investment

The current ban process is not carried out by an administrator, we use advanced GIS spatial analysis to automatically ban people who attempt to spoof their GPS positions.

In the past we have dropped GeoCoins on the map that were password protected based on a nearby feature in the real world, we could look into implementing that again for a more verifiable collection from the location.

I've also thought of dropping off paper wallets which geocachers can find within actual geocaching.com geocaches as another promotional tool.

Lots on the GEO!

Glad you are covering the intellectual side with spatail analysis or whatever 

Dropping paper wallets with a tiny amount of geocoin would be like the boundary between old school geocachers and the techno types that use coins, aside from being a great marketing idea. One consideration though is that there has to be an extreme focus on making anything dropped anywhere environmentally friendly. Putting plastic markers or paper with keys inside plastic out in the woods will not fly.

The geocaches out in the community already consist of plastic containers.  We wouldn't be creating our own Geocaches, simply just adding a coupon or voucher within existing caches already placed around the community.  I was thinking a paper wallet would not have too many negative environmental impacts as paper is recyclable

Just copy Pokémon Go. If you can do that, this coin will be the next big hit. Might go to the billions in a matter of weeks. Will be on the news, "New form of money, just like Pokémon Go. But this time, you gotta geocatch them all."

Hold on. If you are talking about geocaches that are already on that other website, that have logs of where the geocache travels, then your audience is small. Why not make entirely your own geocaches, they could even be a sort of treasure hunt where you post the clues and the first person to physically arrive at the location gets the key, the paper wallet. A lot of possible variations, you could physically write the first 10 characters of a paper wallet key in one place, the next 10 in another place etc, and if it is possible, force a wallet to ping those locations before it gets to the final digits of the paper wallet key. 

In terms of regular dropping of geocoins, if it is possible to drop them within a small enough radius you could start dropping small amounts of money in places that require stealth. I remember a video of a guy that went to North Korea and every time the tour guides turned around he would be pissing in flowerpots and flipping off statues of the supreme leader. If you put a few geocoins in the N Korea police station that deals with political people you would be putting up a worthy challenge. Or put a few coins in Donald Trump's toilet, though that may well be illegal, the line between N Korea and the U.S. is blurry.

You really need to change the landing page, so people know what the coin is about and how to use the app. Maybe make a video.

What you think about LomoCoin ?
it is China analog

What you think about LomoCoin ?

The ANN thread for Lomo coin is almost incomprehensible, if it is an analog of geocoin. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1609194.0

Reading that announcement an English speaker cannot really tell what the coin does.

It had a large ico or whatever, which the ANN thread is transparent about.

I would strongly suggest the Geocoin devs look into partnering with Lomo, research the possibilities. There would be a synergy in two similar such coins cooperating, especially from very different areas with different cultures etc.

http://lomocoin.com/english/html11/faqs.html

Even though very poor ANN thread, the website is a lot sharper, even in English, than Geocoin.

Traded on Bittrex since March https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-LMC

Market cap us$14m http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/lomocoin/

It would be very sensible for the two dev teams to meet over coffee or opium or whatever and discuss cooperating. Things would go well if most major discussions between dev teams are public, including sensitive discussions.

add
Looking at the Lomo site, but only the site, it appears that the Lomo people have spent a lot of effort and thought out a lot of stuff that Geocoin has not.

[cryptillian]

yay finally geo getting some love!
and above is it not a scam like mapcoin? geo has been around for ever and is still updating regulary.
hoping geo reaches 5$ or so then people will hunt them/like it

[PeterTheGrape]

If Lomo has similar tech, it would be cool to be able to scoop up either coin with either wallet, but maybe have a small penalty for scooping with the 'wrong' wallet, e.g. scooping 1 coin would give you 0.9 coin with the penalty 0.1 coin going elsewhere.

This type of coin has some possibility of being the kind of coin that popularizes crypto, that brings mainstream to coins.

If the two dev teams do communicate and cooperate, and if both are sensible enough to respect bigger issues over money, it would be a big cryptostep to facilitate coin users in creating their own forks with separate new chains and economies. For example a university could fork a coin for use of its students, with a separate chain that does not add to the original chain. I notice an 'open source' version of Lomo coin, so it seems those devs are not hostile to long term considerations. Maybe the two coins can set some standards for how different currencies in overlapping markets interact.

Cannot find much actual substance to Lomo coin

Hard to find much substance to this coin, aside from a wallet and website.

First twitter mention was by https://twitter.com/redtheminer but almost no mention by anybody after that, less than one page of hashtag https://twitter.com/hashtag/lomocoin?src=hash

Somebody who speaks Chinese could Google search site:8btc.com 邻萌宝 and try to figure it out.

Very possible it is a fake coin built on nothing, or could be an ambitious project that just needs time.
