[New version]

Hello Geobiters!

Last days we worked very hard to release a new version (1.77), with a new layout and a new navigation drawer.

What do you think? We need your feedback to improve Geobit!

Please, answer two simple questions and fast on http://bit.ly/1JVVdXv.

Thanks  Wink

We've just released a new version with url of merchant.
Right now it's only available for community of our tester. Join us on https://plus.google.com/communities/100660657696982352642. We hope to see you on board!  Wink
Next days you can download it in the Play Store.


We appreciate your feedback.
We're going to redesign our merchant page in next weeks, so we'll consider your suggestion about url in the description in our brain storming. Truthfully, we’ve just put it in our pipeline. Take a look on https://github.com/RCasatta/Geobit/issues/11. Now we put it on our top priorities.

“Follow me” and “Fixed” buttons set up a new promotion. The difference is:
  • “Follow me”: the position is updated based on the location of the merchant. It could be useful for street food vendors. Right now we're considering if it's so useful. We are going to talk with some vendors.
  • “Fixed”: merchant puts a defined address.
We agree with you, we've to put a question mark to explain better the differences.



I downloaded the app and I must say that I am happily surprised with it.
Seems easy enough for common people to understand and use and that's a big thing in this mad cryptoworld we live in.
I am wondering though, if it is possible for promoters to put their url in the description, as I think that would be much appreciated.
I also don't understand what is meant with "Follow me" and "Fixed" when choosing a position. It would be nice to see a question mark with an explanation at that point.

The shop owner (retailer) offers free btc on our app setting the amount.
When you see the shop on the map, you can walk into the shop and scan the unique QR code.
Now you have free btc in your Geobit account.


im sorry if i am wrong..
is it mean that the locations it will show on my phone and i go there then i will have those free bitcoins??

whats if some one comes to me with that app..will i have to give him btcs..who will actually pay the bitcoin??


thankyou.

I see some remarkable similarities to the project that we at Geocoin are working at. Would be interesting to see, if we could share our experience and findings.

Really nice app btw, really stinks there is nothing for the US though. I have played with app and tested all features with no issues. Just nothing more to do beside use it as a map for me since no offers in my area or even remotely close to me since all offers seem to be in Italy. Maybe if I take a trip to Italy then I could use it a little better for testing all features.Smiley Thangk for the great app.  I hope it success grows.

Hello! we are excited to present you geobit, the next generation platform for promoting and advertising with geolocation and bitcoins.


How it works? It's an android app that let's you:
  • Find near promotions that offer you bitcoins to phisically reach other geobit promoters.
  • Create promotions to attract geobit users to your place, for example a shop.

Some screenshots:



Faqs:
  • Where is the old web site? It had a design flaw solved with the client application, see next question
  • Is this secure/scam? The client app has an integrated deterministic bitcoin wallet (based on bitcoinj) and the passphrase never leave the client device.
  • What about Fake GPS? For getting promos you need to get data from the promoter device. This is actually done via qr code scanning. You can't get promotion just based on you position cause it's easily fakeable.
  • Is the software open-source? Not yet.
