EDIT: From http://balloon.mit.edu http://balloon.mit.edu, it looks like they just created a system to assign personalized tracking links to which you could submit pics and coordinates of balloons, as well as invite other people to get a personalized tracking link of their own. If you found a balloon, you got $2000, plus your inviter got $1000, plus their inviter got $500, etc, etc. Simple but obviously effective.
- jazzychad 17y agoThe next question is.. how many people were in their pyramid scheme^H^H^H^H^H team?
- ct 17y agoIt sounds almost like a MLM (Multi-level Marketing) scheme.

- zackattack 17y agoI would be curious about the total # of unique visitors before a winner was found. Also, the NYC police department has a new sign I saw the other day. "Crime doesn't pay, but anti-crime does. Anonymously report crime and receive an award of up to $2000." Humans respond to incentives. This is fundamental.
- ryanwaggoner 17y agoHow are they awarding you $2000 anonymously? Are they seriously handing out stacks of cash?
- chaosmachine 17y agoThe cops partner with a bank. You get a number to take to the bank, the bank gives you the cash, no names exchanged.
