@vitaliibetin nice idea You say: There are apps geared towards local communities (like NextDoor), and there are apps that let you pay for local help (TaskRabbit). How do you think Chummy will distinguish itself from the competition (with our global network of good deed doers)? Shouldn't you be the ones answering that question 😉 Keen to hear how you think… See more

@bentossell Hi, Ben! There's somewhat of a contradiction when you try to monetize an app that's centered on charitable giving... one idea we had is to incentivize users to support local small businesses I'm pleased you like the idea of reciprocal help giving.

@vitaliibetin Allow me to go little crazy over here. Don't monetize it, create a new currency and replace the real currency with it. If basic premise of the idea is to promote kindness among population, let's imagine a world where kindness is more valued than money. Or at least as valued as money. Let's imagine a world where one does not need money to get… See more

@pradeep_io Wow! That's an interesting idea...I like it! Actually we do have chummy points now, they are called "thank you's" and for now they indicates how kind are you. We probably need to think about ability to exchange them on smth.

@agrizzlyadams @pradeep_io @vitaliibetin Yes but Simbi (and dozens of others before it) always run into probelms because as people start doing things specifically for "points", and wish to exchange and trade these 'points', the points eventually have a "real" value, and become currency. Having thousands of isolated forms of currency when we alread have the … See more
