I have been a fan of geolocation apps or games for a long time. My first intro to this was a game called 'Ingress'. It made traveling so much more fun especially with friends to play with. Then came the infamous game 'PokemonGO'. I really like the gaming and interacting with the real world aspect, discovering places\gems that I would have never found without these type of games. Now I have discovered this new app "Coin: Always be earning". Before we get into the fun part, lets see the team behind this awesome platform.
XYO is the team behind this app. They started off in the ending of 2017, with a vision to help developers around the world to understand the benefits of decentralization, and the benefits from a infinitely growing location data protocol. XYO is a decentralized network of devices that anonymously collects and validates geospatial data. This blockchain technology has potential to benefit lots of different real-world situations. This will provide the resources needed to create secure location-data ledgers to industries and their customers. A few examples may be viewed through this link under the Case and studies section.
This app is amazing and I believe they have lots of potential to grow. At first I did not think there would be too much interaction or options to the platform, I had assumed all I would do is walk around and collect points. Well this platform taught me a good lesson on assuming. Many different unique features actually make this platform really entertaining. Ok well lets go through the basics. You start off with 1000 points, this is different from XYO coins which is their cryptocurrency. In-game you will be collecting these points. There are many different ways you can earn these coins.
As you can see they have implemented lots of different ways to interact and collect points. But as mentioned these points are not the actual currency. These points can be redeemed for prizes once you have reached the required amount. Once you have 10,000+ points you may trade it for the equivalent in XYO tokens, but some of the other prizes are really nice as well. You may redeem points for some BTC or ETH although the requirements are a little high. They also have some apparel and collectibles that look really tempting at a price that is not too intimidating.
I have just started using this app 3 weeks ago and in the first week I was able to collect 3k points. I do use these new platforms extensively in the beginning to really try and get a understanding of the product. I also play from home since I am currently a stay at home dad, so I have not had the opportunity to travel in search of big geomines or reward scans. But with what I have been able to try so far I am pleasantly impressed at the amount of ways you can earn points. It is also an amazing way to introduce crypto to new people since it avoids the entire crypto part until they decide they want to try it when they accumulated the required amount of points. So what are you waiting for? Check out your app store, search "Coin: Always be earning" and download to become a GeoHacker today!!!
