Topic: Could pedometer steps make good currency? (Read 799 times)
Well, I do admit that everyone likes to be lazy...which is why I came up with THIS idea:
You know how stopwatches work, right? Well, Imagine a stopwatch where you can spend the time generated by the stopwatch. For example, you can buy a pizza for 0:39:59 and the new Metallica CD for 0:59:59. Everyone can just sit on their ass and get rich that way LOL

This sounds like this movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1637688/
A very cool concept, but what's to prevent some lazy ass like me from just shaking the damn pedometer all day long?
then your entrepreneurial shortcut will be rewarded. people could strap it to their cat or a passing dog or cycle courier.
what about heartbeats or bowel movements? everyone does that.

This is similar to the old mangocoinz mobile mining where you earn coins with every move/step you make. It's a good concept but can easily be exploited.

A cool invention called GPS.
Besides, shaking your arm enough to trigger a "step" also burns calories and is not created from nothing!
sounds a bit like this - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifteen_Million_Merits
"Obese people are considered to be second-class citizens"
I like this world. Lower health care costs, more attractive women...

I just thought of a crazy idea now that Bitwalking doesn't seem to be popular in the US and Burningman went short.
So, what if the steps themselves were a type of offline, Bluetooth-transferable coin? For example, Jogger A has a watch full of 53,453 total steps. Jogger B only has 2,536, but wants to sell his iPod to Jogger A for 39,000 steps. The Bluetooth transfer is made, and now Jogger A's watch says 14,453 steps, while Jogger B's watch says 41,536.
Any questions?

Interesting concept. You can't create value out of nothing, but a step requires something.
