Show HN: Everybody gets one point every day
- tree_of_item 9y agoSo, uh, is this just a way to harvest phone numbers...?
- HaoZeke 9y agoSeems pretty malicious.
- rhapsodic 9y agoAnd the point of this is?
- sz4kerto 9y agoIs this supposed to be some art related to bitcoin?
- Waterluvian 9y agoI think this is meant to be a neat little experiment and/or "useless machine" type thing. Like the "Yo" app. I don't think it's meant to be malicious.
- FuckOffNeemo 9y agoI'm a little more skeptic.
- dorianm 9y agoThis is meant to be a new currency with a base revenue for every user.
- olegkikin 9y agoNow how do I convert these points to bitcoins?
- cvsh 9y agoWhy cash out now? Go long. Pointcoin will be worth millions one day.
- blocked_again 9y agoBitcoin would be worth billions at that point :)
- shocks 9y agoSeems a bit like the Black Mirror episode[1] "Nosedive". 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nosedive https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nosedive
- uoaei 9y agoThat episode made me by far the most uncomfortable I have ever been while watching a TV show. I think it was the desperation and how so many people could so easily fall down that path of complete fakeness if such a thing ever took off.
- MikusR 9y agoAnd before that on Community episode "App Development and Condiments"
- Shywim 9y agoSo, it was already submitted 4 times[1][2][3][4] in the last 5 months and there's still no explanation as to what's the point of this project.

- nightcracker 9y agoThe cynic in me says the point is to collect phone numbers.
- dorianm 9y agoIt's the fifth version of the same project.
