very interesting. I'll dig into it

Great idea with double the benefits!

Interesting idea. Is this decentralized? and a iPhone version would be cool :)

A friend mentioned an app like this to me recently. How far would you need to walk to earn a dollar? I guess for people who walk anyway it could be worth it.

I'm afraid I won't be clicking the links as they are to some IP that could be anything.

Hm yeah, the link seems strange so I opened it in a virutal mashine, just to be sure. It redirects you to https://medium.com/bitwalking/bitwalking-begins-24b55a5ff066#.1fxx4lbg1 which really is an article about Bitwalking which then leads you to http://www.bitwalking.com/

It may be legit and sites like BBS and Forbes covered it (links are on bitwalking.com at the bottom). There they describe, you need to walk about five miles: "[...] walkers earning approximately 1 BW$ for about 10,000 steps (about five miles)" Source: http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-34872563

Sorry about the links I just copy pasted them from bitwalking.com site but I actually did click my self to make sure they lead some place safe :)

I'm intrigued. Tell me more. Your website is pretty light on information. Like can I trade walking dollars for bitcoin? Whats the exchange rate for this?
How is my walking generating money?
What is the rate that you get paid for? e.g. $1 per 10km???
More information would make this more attractive and get more users into the system. At the moment the lack of clear insight into how this works is a barrier for me, and i'd suggest for many others.

Hi, this isn't my site it's just that I thought to share it, I hope you can find more info in their site :)

It works.
Yesterday and the day before I earned 0,24$.
Today I went shopping with my girlfriend and earned 1,04$!!!
