Bitwalking launches wearable currency mining, partners with Misfit
With new partnership users can now generate Walking Dollars directly from their Misfit devices
London, UK, Oct 25, 2016 — Bitwalking and Misfit today announced their partnership to bring currency mining to wearable devices. With Bitwalking anyone can generate money (W$ — Walking Dollars) by walking. Now, users will be able to generate W$ directly from Misfit wearable devices, enjoying additional impact and edge to their wearable experience.
With Bitwalking, you can generate money by walking. The platform converts steps into digital currency. A step is worth the same value for everyone — no matter who you are, or where you are.
Misfit is the first wearable technology brand that is Bitwalking-certified . The Misfit product line will be integrated with the Bitwalking platform, allowing users to mine digital currency directly with their smartwatch or fitness-tracking device.
“Misfit is different — they are not afraid to push boundaries, to create new spaces,” said Nissan Bahar, CEO of Bitwalking. “Misfit is at the forefront of movement tracking devices and an exciting partner for exploring how the Bitwalking world will look beyond traditional mobile devices. The wearable space is a natural expansion for Bitwalking, creating a technology that walks with us and recognizes our human value.”
Misfit joins Bitwalking in ushering in a new era of access to currency and mobile payments. As most people are unable to generate and benefit from digital currencies, the company plans to offer innovative schemes and easy-to-use technologies for all. New features will be available globally through Bitwalking’s platform and selected partners.
“Incentives work — and they can help people stay motivated to be active. Bitwalking amplifies the impact Misfit can have through innovations in mobile currency,” said Preston Moxcey, General Manager of Misfit.
Misfit devices will also become available at Bitwalking’s in-app store. Bitwalking users will be able to purchase selected Misfit products with W$. Misfit wearables able to track cycling, swimming, and sleep patterns with industry leading accuracy, are lightweight, durable, and ready to be used in all climates and conditions throughout the world.
The Bitwalking update for Misfit devices will roll out this winter.
