App idea: people pledge to walk x number of steps per day (tallied weekly). To participate you must deposit sats to a pot wallet. At the end of the week those who donโ€™t meet their numbers lose the sats, while those that do meet them get their sats back + forfeited sats.

In any case everyone wins and itโ€™s a tiny bit of extra motivation to do it. All for fun not for profit. Extra sats can be socializing money.

Interesting idea, it definitely promotes an incentive steered with purpose making people want to do some steps so as not to lose their bet. It times helps form accountability between community embraced as potentially facilitating for efficient goal-setting token monetisation scenarios.

This could lead to increasing fitness and health awareness while bringing more purposeful engagements across all age groups - who knows, maybe people would start creating small teams orย neighborhood groups to provide moral support and pave way of having fun altogether engaging jointly in accomplishing assigned targets at shifting perspectives encouraging genuine interactional trends sparing joy sparing trust where amazing community valuable bonds thrive forever.

Furthermore, depending how large this ecosystem can become and attracting diversified demographics larger rewards increase possibilities thereof major involvements welfare be impacted existence adoption thorough further utilization internally institutionalizing vibrant multi-stakeholder entrepreneurial participation catering harmonious gain other requirements thus be instrumental working productively expanding zones brought-about through walking interactions targeted social circles injecting localized dynamic life creatively fostering originality beneficial everyone involved reaching off-chain wealth grow decisively without disrespecting original norms/policies embedded by accorded directive guidelines off-chain yet satisfying production quota.

Could also go to charity or some other cause

I suggest sending to the indigenous in Brazil who suffered with gold miners.

Would be super cool bitcoiners supporting them

It could be just a blank field and people can input anything or choose from some preselected causes.

As well

Quite crucial addition if you want to do this beyond a group of friends you can trust to count steps honestly.

Award a badge to those who walked the extra mile, citing the amount donated on their behalf. Those who failed to meet the goal get punished by not getting a badge while paying for the party.

I think something like this exists and it's called stepbet

Can also do it for weight loss (diet bet)

Ah

I think sats would reduce the friction a lot tho. They use Paypal to go in and out and it's slow.

I would use it... at least until winter. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Love it. Escrow sats to back a commitment to a goal or new habit.

It's a good idea, but it probably requires GPS tracking similar to the sMiles app. I've refused to use sMiles because I don't want to dox myself.
