The Pokemon Go like app for Cryptos called Aircoins

Aircoins App - Get the Aircoins App and start your crypto treasure hunt

Through a Proof of Effort algorithm users are rewarded in cryptocurrency.
Cryptocurrency coins spawn on the map around you and you have to go find them and collect them with your phone. The app shows you on a map where they are and also has an on the ground pointer guide using your camera it guides you to the coins to collect them. They float in the air on your camera and you press on them to collect them.

I see this primarily as an opportunity for us the ETN community that are in the more affluent countries that want to help people in the developing countries. In the future they will let you drop coins on the map.

This app is still in the early stages but on their telegram I asked if I could drop Electroneum on the map in developing countries and they said that functionality will be added in the future. You can’t withdraw the coins yet to your own wallet but that functionality will be added. It’s still early stages.

I think if the Electroneum team got in contact with the aircoins team and collaborated to let us drop coins on the map in developing countries this would be a good thing and would further the goals of ETN in getting developing countries included in the world economy.

From the other thread int eh ideas section:

@Anthony

Thanks for this suggestion. I like the idea as the the Pokemon craze was phenomenal but I remember it didn’t last very long and the distribution of the coins would need to be strategic and sustained for any impact or benefit, unless it’s simply seen as an opportunity to increase awareness of the ETN brand.
With that being said, It might be worth a punt as a learning experience which could be used to better develop their own product, but it depends on where this is being targeted.

I’d be interested to know how Airx would ensure users were fully immersed and engaged in their app for extended periods, especially while the price is so low? What aspect of gamification is involved? How widely is the app distributed and how many users do they have?
What is their plan to scale up and acquire more users and what is the long term potential?

Is there any reason why Electroneum couldn’t integrate a similar feature into their app as part of the vendor directory? Seeing ETN coins floating around within proximity to places where it can be spent might be a better use of the technology. Maybe even floating coupons/discounts/deals/offers in proximity to vendors that accept ETN could be just as useful.
