successful proof of activity.

You mean just using your smartphone, because just touching it almost counts as an activity, you want to make us smartphone addicted here for cash? Of course not, but it will lead to that as some people do everything for money.

I first thought of how awesome this system is, then the realization hit me that some Steemtards will just shake their fucking smartphones or carry it with them all the time to get some shekels aka game this shit and risk getting cancer.

I am buff and would like to get more ripped, I don't need motivation for that I jogg anyway, getting money for that would be awesome.

But seeing that it is impossible to get money because some skinnyfat dudes shake their smartphones makes me uninstall it immediately. It is no wonder to me they don't upload pictures because they certainly don't belong on the leaderboard.

DISAPPOINTED.

Small upvote for visibility, fix your reward system or this app will be useless to me, I won't shake or carry my smartphone all the time for some money and risk cancer.

REAL SUCCESSFUL PROOF OF ACTIVITY

hey @valorforfreedom,
Thank you for your feedback.
We are aware that slight movements do get recorded on Actifit - particularly the Android version (the iOS version is a bit less sensitive due to better sensor approach by Apple across larger range of phones).
We've even actually had to increase the sensitivity on Android to cope with different phone hardware and capture different sorts of activities which do not solely rely on steps.

While potential for abuse is there and we were aware of this since day one, yet our approach against that is as follows:

  • We have made sure to limit any potential abuse by restricting the amount of rewards a single user can earn. A max of 100 AFIT tokens per report per day.
  • We've setup security mechanisms to only ensure authentic reports are being sent out from the apps, and only reward those
  • The potential abuse is always there, no matter how difficult you make it abusers will try to find a way, we are though constantly working on additional means to prevent abuse and will always be improving our app to do that, we are still in very early beta - our Android app is a bit over 2 months old, while the iOS is almost 2 weeks.
  • More importantly: we are providing the means for ppl to be healthy and hopefully make money at the same time, if they only choose the latter i'm sorry for them as they don't realize what they are missing out on.
  • Keeping in mind that authentic activity is getting rewarded, and this is what really matter to us. At the moment each and every activity report that gets to a certain threshold (min 5K, max 10K) is getting a reward of 20 AFIT up to 100 AFIT), regardless of how many other contributions there are. While with further growth this will become limited, which is why again we are working on further improving the reward mechanism
  • We do have several anti-abuse policies which we laid out across our announcements. Uses caught abusing the system whether via content, incorrect information or caught cheating will be banned. We have banned several users and they are no longer eligible for Actifit rewards.
  • In terms of carrying phones along, most people already carry their phones wherever they go, yet we are also working on integrating with wearables as we speak, so as anyone who does not prefer having his cell phone when they workout, and they have a smart watch/fitbit/... they could us that option as we finalize the integration.

We value your feedback so thanks for sharing this with us, and plz reach out for any other ideas or suggestions ! We would love to have you on discord
