GEO meaning in Cryptocurrency ?

Answer: What Is GeoCoin (GEO)?

GeoCoin has created a real-world scavenger hunt rewarded with cryptocurrency. Users can drag and drop GEO on the map for other users to collect. Users are able to ‘mine’ GEO through a process referred to as Proof-of-Location (PoL). Simple login, turn on your smartphone GPS and navigate to the location of the nearest GEO. Once users get within 5 meters (15 feet) they will collect the GEO off the map. GeoCoin creates a fun blockchain gaming experience that rewards healthy lifestyles through promoting outdoor sports and recreation. GeoCoin is an ERC-20 token hosted on the Ubiq Network. First launched in January 2015 as a Proof-of-Work Qubit blockchain, GeoCoin migrated to the Ubiq Network in January 2018 and has continued to grow with the community. Users can head to the #geo channel in the Ubiq community Discord to get started.

Weifa is an experienced GIS Technologist, specializing in open source GIS web and mobile applications. Many other blockchain developers from the Ubiq community contribute and support the project.

What Makes GeoCoin Unique?

The main goal of the GeoCoin project is to bring GIS and GeoTechnologies to the blockchain.
