and really there could be some alt coin shaking dynamics that continues to delay our bicycle trip that takes us to the car that takes us to the train that takes us to the rocket, etc etc...
u get urselfie a grip, too!!!!!!!
Making your new year’s resolutions? Improving your fitness might be one of your top goals. Next year, you could do that by riding a bike to work, while earning some cryptocurrency along the way too.
Is this bicycle based mining something that is already in bitcoin or something that you are working on?
Maybe some of us will already have so much money that we won't be motivated in that direction? Perhaps?
Tron, based on the encrypted “distributed ledger” technology known as blockchain, is one of several new digital currencies created this year as bitcoin and related offerings enjoyed a boom—while the phenomena also drew warnings to investors from regulators around the globe. The group behind Tron, the Singapore-based Tron Foundation, founded by a group of young Chinese tech entrepreneurs, says it aims to create a platform where entertainment artists get paid directly by consumers (pdf, pg 2) using its cryptocurrency. oCoins can also be used to make purchases on content and social networking apps linked to Tron. Currently, Tron is trading at about 3 US cents per coin.
Can't we largely talk about these in terms of bitcoin? Will these be side chains? There are so many alt crypto projects that are merely paper tigers, and I certainly don't feel that I have time to study the extent to which some of them may actually be more than paper tigers... even though from time to time, in the bitcoin threads and articles and discussions, we do see references to some of these side projects.
Founded at the start of the year, oBike, which has secured a major investment from a mysterious “leading global transportation platform,” says it has a presence in over 20 countries. In its home base of Singapore, though, getting people to bike may be tough going.
Paper tiger? Perhaps?
The city’s humid climate and a lack of cycling paths have come in the way of widespread adoption of biking. Singapore still has a long way to go to match up to Amsterdam, ranked the best for bicycle infrastructure—58% of residents commute on two wheels. In Singapore, last month, a couple was seen dumping oBikes in a drain in a video that went viral.
Rome wasn't built in a day, so I am not pessimistic regarding folks who want to make innovative efforts.
The Singapore government has announced plans to improve infrastructure for cycling. It is also reducing the numbers of private cars on its roads and backing other shared-transport initiatives. oBike, one of three app-based bike-sharing firms offering short-term bicycle rentals in the city-state, seems to be trying to do its part by offering its own reward incentive, a rather trendy one.
Yep, sometimes it will take a while to develop these matters, and whether it takes off in Singapore or Amsterdam or some other location, I don't doubt that there are legitimate projects and legitimate attempts and the ability of groups to learn from other projects to innovate their own projects.. and perhaps monetize them as well (oh? Another ICO?.. hahahahaha)
Flipping the model—essentially paying consumers to use a service—in this manner is a tricky move, though. Pact, an app that offered its users rewards for fulfilling gym or dietary commitments, shut down in July and was ordered by the US Federal Trade Commission to pay nearly a million dollars to customers for not fulfilling its end of the bargain.
Singapore likes to do things differently, including bike sharing. I’ve checked out London’s and Toronto’s bike sharing and while they’re great, you still have to find a station to book out a bike.
OBike offers you the opportunity to earn digital assets while riding their bikes, in the form of the cryptocurrency oCoin. oCoin can be exchanged for products or services, but governments don’t like losing control of currency, so governments around the world are regulating the trade in cryptocoins.
Meanwhile, entrepreneurs like oBike are looking for ways to exploit a currency that is, arguably, no different to a retail loyalty voucher. Well, if you’re a cyclist, your luck is in – oBike will literally pay you to use their service. So how does that work?
Of course it is going to be interesting to witness ways in which different projects attempt to exploit loopholes in order to avert regulations if they are describing a utility token or an investment or a currency.
Forget Bitcoin, oCoin is the newest currency on the block
I am not going to forget bitcoin.
I am not investing in these millions of other innovations because they are all over the fucking place. I am investing in bitcoin... immutable innovative security, and these other myriad of projects are going to end up linking to bitcoin in one way or another.. likely.
– and oBike just took a bite of the apple. Investing in the Ethereum platform means that oBike can offer oCoins to cyclists using its service. The more you cycle, the more of the cryptocurrency you’ll earn.
Yeah, and ethereum can bring down all the ICOs when it fails through it's own security and centralization issues, right?
oBike has been steadily gaining ground in Asia, venturing beyond Singapore into Indonesia. The popularity of oBike in Australia has been sufficient to cause tabloid hand-wringing at its success, if only to bemoan the ubiquity of oBikes left conveniently next to Australia’s beaches and waterfronts.
Even though oBike has withdrawn from the bike-loving town of Oxford, England, it’s worth noting that bike-share schemes still hold some currency. Actually, it’s more than that. From now on, bike-share schemes may bring cryptocurrency wherever they’re established. If that doesn’t sound like the future, I don’t know what does.
Sounds good to me, but I am not buying any of it. Save it for others to develop it, because I don't need to be distracted by every project even if potentially good projects.
We’ve all thought about jumping on the Bitcoin bandwagon, right?
Some of us are already on it, and fairly focused on bitcoin. Right?
But what if there was some way to earn cryptocurrency while riding a bike…?
Yes, let others get involved in those kinds of projects, if they want.
oBike Singapore likes to do things differently, including bike sharing.
You are starting to sound like an advertisement now. NO WONDER you have been a bit edgy recently. You are losing your bitcoin focus and getting distracted by random thoughts of the alt project pumpers.
I’ve checked out London’s and Toronto’s bike sharing and while they’re great, you still have to find a station to book out a bike. oBike is different.
Who gives a ratt's ass?
Just download the app and it leads you to the nearest available bike – no station required. And when you’re done, just lock your bike to end your journey. But why ride a rental bike in the first place? It’s not as if bicycles are that expensive in the first place…
NOT everyone wants to invest in a bike riding project... whether it is money or time. But, yeah, perhaps in the alt section with the snot nosed 12 year olds, you will be able find a decent quantity of them.. perhaps?

I had to reduce the size of the rest of your salesmanship.. because I was starting to feel like this:
