This is very funny. I'm sure their very advanced security measures will prevent me from creating a nice passive income, earning mint while my smartphone lays motionless on the couch next to me.

#12I can't see how this could be real.
Faking GPS data and simulating movement on a device you control is trivially easy.
Add an incentive to obtain a benefit by deception and you have one broken product.

#13This kind of horseshit makes me insane:
> We believe that everyone should have the freedom, and ability, to make money. A step is worth the same value for everyone - no matter who you are, or where you are. What matters is how much you walk.
Earning money mostly comes through creating value for others. (When it doesn't, it comes from diverting value into your pockets.) Walking around is great, and I encourage everybody to do it. But pitching it as the "freedom to make money" is absurd. Talking as if random people walking around Africa can double their monthly income is obscene.
I can't believe the BBC would publish that article, either. I understand the tech press is mostly toothless, but even so I can't believe that such a hallucinatory scheme received only the mildest questioning.
I can't wait for this bubble to be over.

Except for bed- or wheelchair-bound people. Fuck them, right?

Actually, for many, walking more would create value. Underwalking creates a large societal cost in health care, climate change, and more. I would pay people to walk more.

#20seems my newly created account is shining
there were CRAZY ideas that changed the world but this BS isn't one of them. the math simply doesn't doesn't add up. if everyone (except people that can't walk) is making money (3 USD/day is max) without actually contributing back to society ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
how in the hell did they get funding is what I want to know
