There have been many attempts to motivate activity financially, curious how you see this breaking out of the pack and winning?

@micah What are some of the other best implementations that you know of, Micah? I think the key will be to either get (a) big-name brands with auto-conversion to rewards (i.e. Starbucks tea... Amazon GCs...) (b) big-name insurers/companies on board to incent better health/activity. But I'd love to know more about others.

@daveschappell "best?" I think truthfully none have actually caught on - fitocracy (although not in the financial incentives space, I seem to remember they explored it?), dailyburn (similar to fitocracy), gympact, everymove come to mind and none really broke out, although I think they all have been acquired. I think you know 2 or 3 founders? If not, happy to intro. @brianmwang (fitocracy) would have some great feedback.

It works. I've been a Sweatcoin user since 2015. Since then I've bought with Sweatcoins sports shoes and clothes, protein shakes, a session with a personal trainer & more. Thumbs up to the Sweatcoin team on the execution, iOS & Android apps are great!

@nikitakorotaev thank you, Nikita! It took few months longer than expected, but then who would have known that we would need not just Java, but OpenGL, C++ of the NDK and ReactNative :)

Great concept. Will encourage me to get more walking done. BTW, that cheeky write-up in google play store (whats new section) was not very encouraging! Is your demographic mostly women?

@chintankarnik Good question - just got tired of saying "oh boy" in the last few weeks :)

@oleg_fem Installed and took it for a full spin this AM. What was the Product Hunters special treatment? I seem to have a 5k steps/day subscription. I must say incentives are cleverly designed. One would have to pay 1 day worth of morning walk/month to gain 10k steps/day unlock capacity for that month. To gamify the incentives even more- I would like to see which goodies I can possibly unlock within x days (while supplies last). That is, show me which prize I can claim in x days based on the average number of steps/day I've unlocked.

Nvr mind the PH special comment question. Found that the magic was in visiting the special link on the phone where SweatCoin is installed :)

@oleg_fem @perushev we have created a chatbot style app. To get the user immersed in the look/feel of our app quickly and to help them through are relatively lengthy onboarding process (we need answers to several questions), we use a similar concept to sweatcoin where the 'app' asks the user questions in a flowing manor.

This is one of my favorite apps of the last year -- I've accumulated nearly 2,000 Sweatcoins while walking a TON in London (and redeemed them for healthy juice drinks, coconut oil, and more). I highly recommend it -- it's a great motivator to increase your physical activity!
