Sweatcoin Club Contests

We recently had this article written by a Sweatcoin Club member as an open letter to Sweatco. We are not 100% on-board with every one of these 10 but felt it was important to share.

Sweatcoin is a digital currency backed by physical movement. Sweatcoin verifies and converts movement into currency. Users can then donate it to charity, transfer to other users or spend on products, services, and experiences provided by Sweatcoin vendors and user community. If you have not already joined Sweatcoin click here now to join the best fitness app on the market.

1. Desktop sign-in is something that has needed to happen for a long time. I can't tell you how many times I have wished I could transfer Sweatcoins to someone on my computer. It is not like Sweatcoin would have any trouble doing it either! Sweatcoin makes you put in an email and a password to create an account so it should not be an issue to implement in the near future. This is a necessary feature if Sweatcoin moves onto a blockchain because most crypto-trading is done on computers. 


2. Official Sweatcoin Exchange - ability to make money from walking is what Sweatcoin is supposed to be all about right? Well that is only going to happen if Sweatcoin moves onto a blockchain. Then there is the problem of supply and demand. Because one Sweatcoin is created every 1000 steps there is technically an infinite supply of Sweatcoins, which means it will be very hard for Sweatcoins to retain value. However, this could be fixed if Sweatcoin put a halving mechanism in place, which is where the amount you earn is halved whenever a certain amount of people join. This would then help stop the infinite supply problem.

3. Better Marketplace Offers - At some point all of us have been by the offers in the marketplace. It seems that all of the offers are for a discounted product or a free trial that we don’t need. I am certain that if Sweatcoin simply got better marketplace offers, Sweatcoin would see a lot more users come in. I’m sure if Sweatcoin started offering gift cards to places such as Amazon or ITunes, Sweatcoin would see a lot more users. This is probably the most important thing Sweatcoin can do right now.

4. Sweatcoin Lottery - A lottery for Sweatcoins would be amazing. Sweatcoin could have a one sweatcoin entry fee and have a drawing every Sunday. There are tons of shady Sweatcoin lotteries but no official ones. Therefore an official lottery would stop people from giving their hard earned Swetcoins to horrible scammers. This feature would add some fun to the app and give people something to look forward to every Sunday and give people another way to get Sweetcoins. This would overall increase the activity of Sweatcoin users.

5. Leader boards - Haven't we all wished that we could go head to head against our friends on a leader board, and see who gets the most steps. Sweatcoin could even have a separate friend leader board and a world leader board to make things more fun. Prizes could be awarded daily to whoever walks the most. This would make people more motivated to walk because they are going against other people for a grand prize. This would be an overall smart and fun feature, that would probably help increase the Sweatcoin communities activity and would make people more likely to download the app.

6. The Official Forum Sweatcoin has plenty of unofficial trading and community forums but it does not have an official one. It would be amazing to finally have an official Sweatcoin forum. The forum could have announcements, ideas and even giveaways. This would be a great way for the very large Sweatcoin community to connect with each other. This would help Sweatcoin become a better app overall.

7. Feed From Who You Are Following - If you get live feed from your friends this would make Sweatcoin like a social media site. Everyone would be able to share their steps and photos with each other. Sweatcoin could even implement a dedicated messaging feature to let people connect with each other even more. Overall a live feed feature for Sweatcoin would make the app a much better experience and would boost the apps reputation.

8. Better Step Conversion - This is less a feature and more something that Sweatcoin needs to work on. On my phone only about half of my steps count and none of my indoor steps count. This is VERY important because they are paying you to walk, so they should perfect what they are doing. Also not getting your steps completely counted is very frustrating to me and a lot of other people. Just look at the App Store and Google Play Store and you will see that 95% of bad reviews are because of bad step conversion. I do understand that the indoor step counting feature is new and they are still working out the bugs, but that it still no excuse for outdoor steps to not be counted.

9. Unlimited Step Membership Option - Have you at some point have gotten more than 20,000 steps and wished, why can’t I get more? Well let me tell you, you are not the only one who has thought that! It would be so nice if you get as many coins as you want. Although, there are a few issues with implementing this feature. Hacking or manipulating the system would probably be more widespread. On the contrary this could be fixed if Sweatcoin bput more security and anti-cheating algorithms in place. This feature would be great for runners, or people with jobs that require a lot of movement. Overall this feature would draw in more hardcore runners and walkers, therefore strengthening the Sweatcoin app and Sweatcoin community.

10. Make It Possible To Get Sweatcoins Without The App Open - This is THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE YET. If Sweatcoin could find a way to let us get Sweatcoins without having the app open then TONS more people would download it. This would decrease the amount of battery people use on their phones and it would let people use Sweatcoin even if their phone is almost dead. If you combine that with an unlimited step plan then Sweatcoin would be an unstoppable force in the fitness and health industry. A lot of people complain that Sweatcoin uses too much battery, so if Sweatcoin implemented a feature that let people use Sweatcoin without the app open, then it would completely change the app.

Overall Sweatcoin is an AMAZING app already but it could be so much more if Sweatcoin could just implement a few of these features. 

If you have any suggestions for Sweatco LTD, we would love to hear from you and post them on our site. Let us know what you think Sweatcoin can do to improve.

If you are looking for a way to get fit and earn some crypto at the same  time, you might be interested in apps that pay you for your steps.  Sweatcoin is one of the most popular apps in this category, but it is  not the only one. There are other apps that offer similar or different  features and rewards for your physical activity. In this article, we  will compare Sweatcoin to three or four other apps that earn crypto, and  help you decide which one is right for you.
 

What is Sweatcoin?
 

Sweatcoin is an app that tracks your outdoor steps and converts them  into Sweatcoins, a digital currency that you can use to redeem various  products, services, or experiences from their marketplace, or exchange  for other cryptocurrencies or fiat money. Sweatcoin uses its own  algorithm to count your steps, and does not require any additional  hardware or devices. However, it only counts your outdoor steps, and has  a limit on how many steps you can earn from per day, depending on your  subscription plan. Sweatcoin also has a variety of offers in its  marketplace, ranging from discounts, free trials, sweepstakes, to  physical goods and gift cards. You can also donate your Sweatcoins to  various causes or share them with your friends and family¹.
 

What are the alternatives to Sweatcoin?
 

There are many other apps that earn crypto for your steps or other  physical activities, but we will focus on three or four of them that  have some similarities or differences with Sweatcoin. These are:
 

- LifeCoin: LifeCoin is an app that also tracks your outdoor steps and  converts them into LifeCoins, a digital currency that you can use to  redeem gift cards, gadgets, or fitness products from their marketplace.  LifeCoin has a similar algorithm and limit as Sweatcoin, but it also has  a feature called Boost Mode, which allows you to earn more LifeCoins  for a short period of time by watching ads or completing surveys.  LifeCoin also has a referral program that gives you and your friends  bonus LifeCoins when they sign up using your link².
- StormX: StormX is an app that pays you in crypto for completing  various tasks, such as shopping online, playing games, watching videos,  or answering surveys. StormX has a wide range of partners and offers,  and you can choose from different cryptocurrencies to earn, such as  Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, or StormX Token. StormX also has a loyalty  program that gives you higher rewards and cashback rates based on your  membership level. StormX does not track your steps, but it does have a  fitness category in its marketplace, where you can find deals and  discounts on fitness products and services³.
- StepChain: StepChain is an app that tracks your indoor and outdoor  steps, as well as other fitness activities, such as running, cycling, or  swimming, and converts them into STEP tokens, a digital currency that  you can use to buy or sell on exchanges, or stake to earn more tokens.  StepChain also has a social network feature, where you can share your  progress, challenges, and achievements with other users, and join or  create groups and events. StepChain also has a gamified system, where  you can earn badges, trophies, and levels for your activities⁴.
- XY O Coin: XY O Coin is an app that tracks your location and steps,  and rewards you for validating geospatial data using XYO's blockchain  and fingerprinting technology. You can earn more by using a SentinelX  device, which is a Bluetooth beacon that enhances your data value, or by  subscribing to a premium plan. XY O Coin has a more limited selection  of offers in its marketplace, mostly consisting of digital assets,  electronics, and gaming consoles. You can also transfer your XY O Coins  to an external wallet or exchange, or use them to participate in  minigames or challenges within the app⁵.
 

How to choose the best app for you?
 

The best app for you depends on your personal preferences, goals, and  lifestyle. Here are some questions that you can ask yourself to help you  choose:
 

- How much do you value your privacy and security? Some apps may collect  more data than others, and some may use blockchain technology to ensure  transparency and trust. You should always read the terms and conditions  and privacy policies of the apps before using them, and be aware of the  potential risks and limitations.
- How much do you care about the quality and quantity of the offers and  rewards? Some apps may have more or less offers and rewards than others,  and some may have more or less value and appeal than others. You should  always check the current rates and availability of the offers and  rewards before redeeming or exchanging them, and be aware of the  potential fees and taxes involved.
- How much do you enjoy the user experience and interface of the apps?  Some apps may have more or less features and functions than others, and  some may have more or less user-friendly and attractive designs than  others. You should always try the apps yourself and see which ones suit  your taste and needs better.
- How much do you want to support the mission and vision of the apps?  Some apps may have more or less social and environmental impact than  others, and some may have more or less alignment with your values and  beliefs than others. You should always research the background and  purpose of the apps and see which ones resonate with you more.
 

Conclusion
 

Sweatcoin is a popular and well-known app that pays you for your steps,  but it is not the only one. There are other apps that offer similar or  different features and rewards for your physical activity, such as  LifeCoin, StormX, StepChain, and XYO Coin. Each app has its own pros  and cons, and you should choose the one that best fits your preferences,  goals, and lifestyle. However, you can also use more than one app at  the same time, as they do not interfere with each other, and you can  earn from multiple sources. However, you should always be careful and  responsible when using these apps, and consult your doctor before  starting any physical activity.
