GEO > UBQ Token
Migrated to the UBQ blockchain
GEO is now an ERC20 token on the Ubiq Network (January 2018)! This allows for new features, such as Proof-of-Location (PoL). With PoL, GEO can only be 'mined' by going to the correct real world location with the GEO app.
Don't see any GEO nearby? No Problem!
Head on over to our new Proof-of-Location (PoL) GEO Drops interface and drop a magnet on your location. This magnet will attract GEO to nearby places! Drop a Magnet
What is GeoCoin about?GeoCoin has created a real life scavenger hunt where users are rewarded with cryptocurrency! Users are able to drag and drop GEO on to the map for others to collect in a fun blockchain gaming user experience powered by Ubiq. Our goal is to bring GIS and GeoTechnologies to the blockchain to try and drive mass adoption of cryptocurrency. We plan to do this by removing barriers of entry to new users entering the cryptocurrency scene. We are currently actively beta testing, it is free to sign up and open to everyone. Essentially users can Sign Up, Login, turn on their smartphone GPS and navigate to the location of the nearest GEO to earn their first cryptocurrency!
If you would like to participate and try to collect some free GEO, please follow our getting started guide.
Getting Started Guide
GeoCoin is an ERC20 Token on the Ubiq Network. We migrated a snapshot of all balances in January 2018 from our original Qubit Proof of Work blockchain, captured at block # 1568125. The ERC20 token is currently trading at Bittrex, CatalX and CryptoFacil exchanges.
Proof of Location: The remainder of the GEO supply will be dropped onto the map for collection through Proof of Location (PoL), with a total GEO supply capped at 4,000,000 GEO. The remaining 598,875 GEO will be distributed at a rate of roughly 50,000 GEO per year.
Don't see any GEO nearby? No problem! Head on over to our new PoL GEO Drops Interface, pan and zoom into your local area and drop a magnet. This magnet will attract GEO to nearby places!

Mining
The Qubit Proof of Work Mining Phase for GeoCoin was completed at block number 1,568,125. All the GEO balances were snapshot at this block number and migrated over to the Ubiq Network. GeoCoin (GEO) can no longer be mined using CPU or GPU mining. Any mining pools that are still operating are doing so on the original POW blockchain which is now considered developer abandoned.
For those miners who are interested in supporting GEO, we encourage them to point their mining hashpower to the Ubiq Network. This will help you earn UBQ which is required to pay transaction gas fees while also securing the overall network. UBQ has recently forked to a new mining algorithm called Ubqhash, after a successful governance vote using the Escher governance token. Ubqhash helps protect the network against the threat of 51% mining rental attacks. As a results, specialized mining software is required to mine UBQ.
You can mine UBQ using Ubqminer, PhoenixMiner, SMOS or HiveOS.
