What's POHW?

POHW = Proof Of Human Work

I actually was interested in the Proof of Human work.  I just read every post in the thread (231 of them) but I didn't see any mention of 'human work' until the last 2-3 posts.  Is this something that is implemented or going to be?  How does the reward and mining work?  I didn't see anything on the OP either....

Considering this is called 'fitcoin' I think it would probably help the coin's ego to do 'physical work' to earn coins.  But if the coin is already released, and it doesn't include POHW like the OP says, then its probably too late to add it.  Adding a major change like this after a coin launch usually doesn't settle well with the comunnity.  What's preventing the developers from making more adjustments (possibly in their favor) later on.

I'm hoping that POHW is already implemented... That's why I'm interested in this coin.

Hello aso118,

I appreciate your comment.
Fitcoin is just 1 month-ish old and during this time we had faced a few resistance from this community to accept our coin and join our mission.  
We are trying to implement something cool that is really gonna have a impact on society and change people's lives.
The POHW was something that I had in mind before the launch but by then I couldn't figured out a way to implement this.
During our mission walk I made a few connections and new ideas came through, that was when the Fitcoin challenge appears, after think and re-think about how I could implement POHW I just figured out that I could implement the POHW by challenging people to do some fitness work and by this work they would get rewarded.
The trick was how people will proof that they are actually working hard?
I'm myself a CrossFit Trainer and CrossFit got a competition called CrossFit Games, anyways to go to the games they have a what they call CrossFit Open and during the Open people from everywhere in the world do they workout by itself and post the scores into CrossFit website along with the video as proof of work.
As you may know this idea was concretized last week and of course after the coin launch.
I still don't know if the way that the POHW is implemented is the best way, but I need you guys feedback to make the adjustments.
We are community based and I hope you guys are gonna help us to archive that and make the POHW works.
I've created a Official Forum at http://forum.fitcoins.net/viewforum.php?f=13 where people should post their workout videos and also there's where people will get to know what is the workout to be done.

Just to be clear "we" are "never" going to "implement something in our favor".

We want to spread Fitness, Health and change people's lives!



Well, is not related to the cryptoworld but this is a concept ( it's already a running business to tell the truth) about how to stimulate people to workout and receive the "proof" that their energy is not wasted but harvested and recycled


http://www.gizmag.com/tgo-green-heart-electricity-generating-gym/23078/
 

IHMO some key some factor are:
- the solution put you at ease respect traditional gym ( the indoor gym have an "psychological pressure" impact )
- the green reward system ( sustainable energy talk is surely making a buzz in those days )
- the "cool" effect


But from a electronics engineer standpoint this green gym is just a nice concept and nothing more...  
Each machine is generating 100Watt on average ( from 40 to 500watt but obviously it depends to the user fitness), now let's speculate a bit:  in a real case if the urban gym with 8 machines take some success and is used regularly we will have in best case generated 800Watt for 4-5 hours ... it can't even keep powered my gpu rig!  Grin and ROI in about 20-30 years...but hey better than nothing!

Returning to fitcoin, you want a POHW system?
Make a mobile app like Endomondo, Runtastic, Sporttrackers, ect  that track your exercices and reward you with a number of Fitcoin based  on the extimate burning calories  Cool

I liked the green gym idea Smiley There are a few ideas like that actually in development.
Regards the mobile app It's quite a good idea but first I don't know how to develop mobile apps and second it's too simple to cheat Sad also the focus on this apps is more like running, cycling and walking it should be more diverse.

Thoughts?

Those tracking apps mentioned can be used for any type of sport (kayaking, skying, hiking, bicycling, running, ect) , most of them ask you height, weight, age and choose witch type of activity you are start to practice so they approximate how many calories you will burn...for example an hatha yoga session could be 150-160 calories/hours and a running session 470-500 calories/hours.
Obviously without a cardio freq data they are estimate calculations,  based often on tables like that http://www.nutristrategy.com/activitylist3.htm , but could be a good start and enough proportional to the types of exercise.

About cheating yeah, first things that I could think of are : check for a limit speed (ex: not over 50km/h ) and check for a limit in acceleration/deceleration in a delta of time (like max 11 m/s2 ).

Indeed the first obstacle could be find an app developer willing to work on the project  Grin
In any case I'm a web developer and eventually I can give you some support on web-related matters


Thank you so much for offering your support.
I'll try to find someone to help us on this. I have now to figure out the ratio calories / fitcoins Smiley
Any idea on this matter?

POHW should have been complimented BEFORE launching the coin.   But we live and we learn, right?  Smiley

I just heard about NikeFuel's 'scoring' methods (I live under a rock for those who don't know me) and it made me think of this coin right away.  It seems right now NikeFuel only earns trophies and other 'awards,' but how cool would it be if it actually offered prizes or rewards?  If you could get a major company like Nike to back your coin, and think-out the POHW BEFORE lanuching - hey, you might have the next big thing. Smiley

I'll try to make a partnership with one of those companies that offers this kind of apps. I guess re-write those apps will just be too difficult. I reckon if we could give Fitcois as awards through these apps would be a winning Smiley And as you said we are live and learning so I guess still time to adapt new features to Fitcoins as it still pretty new Smiley

You can check the creators on the website and see if they look Chinese or not.
