Topic: Someone should invent a coin that works like Pokemon GO - page 3. (Read 2876 times)

That is the key behind every coin concept actually.. SECURITY !

They are right i seen an explosion of Pokeman GO exploits making the rounds.
Further more you could even Spoof the towers like i just found out Canadian Police have been doing since 2007 with a program they made for spying that tricks all cell phones within range to connect to your fake cell phone tower.
AKA: They made an emulator.
Old news in the cracking scene LOL
Hackers knows this well and are ready to implement one for a coin if it will pay them a small fortune in coins to dump on Poloniex.
So you BETTER be able to code !

I have had some ideas before related to P2P and crypto coins and have been doing torrents since they were invented and i spent a lot of effort a decade ago making a file sharing client mod.
But.. i never thought about directly doing an index on the chain.

This might be literally the one alternative block-chain use i could get behind.
But if they ICO it then forget it.. ICO = SCAM

I made a bunch of topics here long ago that delved into these issues and the one that stopped me from writing code was..
Are the users going to support a system intended for "Pirates" (File Sharing)
Right off the bat your going to be on the bad side of many large anti-piracy organizations for example.
And will the public look down on this sort of thing and shun it ?

Don't forget Github has a large track record of taking things down for any half ass piracy complaint..
and they also WILL send your info to the US authorities for investigation in a heart beat.
..as they already have done this lots.

I know this is off-topic so...
To me a "Torrent Index" Coin would be far more interesting than a rip-off of a lame Niantic game.
Which was already a rip-off off one of their other games with a Pokeman angle / twist tacked on.

Although i think the Torrent Index idea may be far more doable and far easier to keep secured than any of *MY* P2P related ideas.

And like i said, i am in no way trying to take credit for that idea either.

My idea(s) were far off in left field or more complicated.
The more code you have to write from scratch the more worried you should be.
This stuff has to be thought out well if it's going to be a coin on an exchange for profit LOL

Besides.. before you know it the PokeZombie's will disappear.
Trends don't last forever.

Haha looks funny , never seen it but i love burt reynolds

Am I that old?

ie:brings out the crazies

I dont get this one 

edit
cryptoball coin.
you play for a prize lottery

you pay a fee to an address. this unlocks the starting location, which once you find the coin it unlocks to a second location until one winner

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Let the Crypto games begin

I believe there is a law against this in most states in the US, it refers to the mass panic caused when money is dumped loosely off buildings and causes hysteria. you wouldn't be allowed to have people treasure hunting actual currency.

Says the guy who doesn't have a 10 cp gastly that I caught going 40 in a 35.

There are physical bitcoins but if the Ap worked this way some one would also have to go around leaving very expensive physical bitcoins in places, the logistics of which would be hilarious. Also can you imagine what would happen if someone left a bunch of money in a physical bitcoin buried in a public place and sent the masses looking for it lol

Nono I meant a physical location and digital coin although and actual physical Easter egg hunt that functioned with bitcoin would be super cool too, any Idea on how to make that happen?

When you say leave a physical coin, do you mean like an actual physical coin or a digital coin left in a physical location? because if the ap was to find physical things it would be more difficult to hack but much more expensive

Sounds perfects for bitcoin.... jajajaja

Craazy, I didn't know that, but i figured you could probably cheat by now, in any case I don't know how it would work but if a dev team out there could make a functioning Easter egg hunt out of a coin, I maintain it would be very sucessful indeed.

I don't think it has to have anythign to do with Pokemon Go necessarily just the concept of using a GPS ap on your phone to find hidden coins.Maybe the running aps could be the thing that contributes to people mining the coin or something. Is that nonsense what I just said? I have no idea, again I'm just an ideaman

That's actually a good idea. But some problems have to be fixed first. There are some ways (using jailbreak for instance) to cheat playing Pokemon Go. For example, you could lead the software to believe in a particular position by manipulating the GPS-data on your phone using a special app.

we had shakezula's geocoin, and then another i think, but I fear without the free advertising platform (TV) of these big corps, the idea wouldn't get far, now you're competing with likes of Google(Niatic)/Nintendo etc.. shady.

I do wish we have a chain containing torrents infos, updated trackers etc in the chain, why haven't we? This must be doable no?

Yes Geocoin already has this feature but it's not about pokemon, I read a lot of bad things about pokemon how you could endanger yourself and others chasing pokemon and this would be coin could do the same to it;s players..

Check out GEOCOIN

I heard News stories lately.

A football player almost got shot after wandering into an armed robber chase.

Parents have abandoned their kids.. all around retard mayhem !

It's a game for retard imbeciles.. so yeah a "coin" would be perfect (since crypto is retarded brats)
I say start the ICO now and make it later..

Please see all the Pokémon coins already being discussed.
