RE: Actifit: Become A Dolphin In A Month

in #actifit6 years ago

This application is going to get hacked pretty bad. I don't think it's that hard to spoof GPS locations. Unfortunately, I think this undermines the entire concept. Sweatcoin was already hacked in this way, although I will admit that it isn't even a cryptocurrency; just a digital currency. Also, they didn't put a big enough limit on the amount one account could receive.

Which brings me to my next point. For Actifit to truly be a valuable service it needs a decentralized way to identify humans on the blockchain. A lot of coins need this functionality so hopefully one project will figure it out and share the solution with the rest.

Considering I walk 20 thousand steps during every shift at work I suppose it's stupid that I'm not doing this yet. It really could become something great: a universal basic income that pays you to be healthier.

hey @edicted
From Actifit side, we do not rely on GPS locations, we rely on in-built sensors to detect movement, and yes we intentionally limit the amount of rewards per day to limit potential abuse.
We are constantly looking for more ways to improve, and also believe future updates by Steemit will help us identify real individuals from bots, in addition to the preventive measures we have in place.
Walking 20 thousands steps and you haven't used Actifit yet? please do, we want to reward you ! :)
