Geocoin is a token created on Ethereum Blockchain but later transferred to ubiq network whose transaction takes place from one peer to another without involvement by the government thus is being considered to be a decentralized asset. Geocoin was created to enable users to be able to earn geocoin while geolocating a place. It favours mostly professionals in the field of the transport sector, tourism sector, security sector and many more. In the transport sector, it enables taxi drivers to be able to identify where their clients are as well as to easily drop their clients to the right destination. In the tourism sector, it enables the tourist to be able to locate different tourist destinations while in the security sector it is able to track stolen digital tokens from hackers. The more you geolocate the more you add the blocks to the network thus the more the reward.

Previously, the transaction was taking place at ethereum blockchain exploer based on block height and time stamp but was later transferred in to ubiq network.

  Date Launched

Geocoin was created in 2013 but launched in 2015 with the main objective of allowing easy location of different places all over the world. In the transport sectors, drivers can easily trace the place where they want to take their passengers to while in the security sector especially in digital coins, stollen coins by hackers can easily be traced.  

Founder Of Geocoin cryptocurrency

Geocoin was created by Tobler with the main objective of making it become a proof-of-spatial analysis, that is proof-of-location. Therefore, Tobler wanted geographical locators to earn some Geocoin while trying to locate a certain region of the world.

  Process of creating Geocoin cryptocurrency

Geocoin is a proof-of-location token. Being a proof-of location, it is therefore created through the geocaching process when users are trying to locate different geographical location. The algorithm used to geocashing is ubqhash algorithm.  

Maximum circulation of Geocoin

The maximum supply of Geocoin in the ubiq network is expected to be 4,000,000 upon completion of its proof-of location process. Every year, 50,000 of Geocoin will be released through proof -of-location to the ubiq network until the maximum cap has been reached.    

Geocoin Price

Currently, 1 Geocoin is worth more than $0.202 and its price is expected to increase over the next period of time. Geocoin is being abbreviated as GEO.

Storing my Geocoin

To store your Geocoin, you need to have an Ethereum address supporting ERC-20. You can use meta mask or my ether wallet. Never store your ERC-20 in exchange unless you are trading them. Never use an exchange Ethereum address to receive your Geocoin cause you will never receive them because those addresses do not support ERC-20. You can also store your Geocoin on the UBQ wallet.  

Transferring my Geocoin to other Users

If you want to transfer your Geocoin to another user, the two of you must have trust in each other. The trust should be the Geocoin address provided for the receiver while the sender must have the Geocoin balance in their account to send to the receiver. For the sender, a blank space to insert receiver address and another blank space to insert the amount to send to the receiver is indicated. Here is how it looks like;
