1. GeoCash Overview
GeoCash is a cryptocurrency app that rewards users for the data they generate with their devices.
It is a product of GeoDB, a decentralized peer-to-peer big data sharing ecosystem.
GeoDB was founded by Luis Gelado Crespo in 2019.
The goal is to accord users due rights over their data and reward them for the much they are willing to share.
Before now, companies like Google and Facebook access users’ data because of the services they provide, and users are not rewarded for these data.
With GeoCash, users can earn GEO coins (which they can later convert to cash) for the data they generate.
Cool, right?
The data generated on the app include locations, battery levels, device information, telephony signals detected and the list of applications installed on the device.
Interestingly, data sharing on GeoCash allows for anonymity so that nothing you share can be traced to you as an individual.
Super cool!
Presently (15/03/2021), the GeoCash app is operating on the test net of GeoDB.
Join me in the next section to see how the app works.
2. How GeoCash Works
The mode of operation of this app is quite simple to understand.
Simply install the app and leave it running in the background as you go about your business.
As you move, the app records the data of your different locations and then you get GEO coins.
The data generated by users’ devices are shared on the GeoDB ecosystem where data scientists analyze the data to create verified datasets.
These datasets are then sold to big companies who need it (payments are made in GEOs).
That way, the platform generates revenue and as such, it will not be a problem to reward users.
Rewards are given based on data generated. The more places visited, the more rewards a user receives.
However, there is no standard reward specified for data. A user can earn 0.25 to 0.5 GEOs when he visits 2 places.
And this reward can arrive in 30 to 40 minutes as that is the duration for creating a block on GeoDB.
It all depends on the frequency at which the user generates data.
Furthermore, users can also exchange GEO coins with one another.
They will also be able to view other users’ stats such as locations and distances travelled.
And as mentioned, users can also trade GEO for other crypto.
But since the app is still on the test net, you can’t send tokens directly to a main net exchange or wallet right now.
You first need to swap the test tokens for real tokens, and for that, you need to wait for the next swap opportunity to open up.
The last swap process happened in late December, 2020 and users who already had balance of test tokens benefited from it.
Now, let’s learn about the coin.
Tag along!
3. GEO Coin Information

6. FAQs
Yes.
Yes you can. But then you can only mine GEOs with one wallet.
Yes but you will have to pay Ethereum gas fees to do that.
No. Your wallet is safe. However, you will stop sharing data when you logout of the app.
Totally. The data you share cannot be traced to you as a person.
