A pretty cool thing that has already happened is that some of our premium users, who primarily use the app for workouts wanted to play challenges and messaged us asking how to get more sats.

Some of them actually won challenges, and one even messaged me saying they looked up places where Bitcoin was accepted and bought coffee somewhere that accepted Lightning.

It’s possible to put Bitcoin in the hands of the mainstream audience and let them to actually use and spend it. However, for this to happen, overall adoption needs to grow.. at least in terms of the number of places accepting Lightning payments.

Another thing to note is that the mainstream audience is often confused about 'sats.' They’ve heard of Bitcoin, but 'sats' isn’t widely recognized. I’m considering switching to the sats symbol Bitkit proposed—it could make it much easier for everyone to understand what they’re earning. Or just using 'Bits' instead of 'sats'.

A lot of people have messaged us saying, "Hey, where’s the Bitcoin we were supposed to earn? The app just says 'sats'"

There are many gamification opportunities to build some very cool things. To get there, we first need to succeed on a smaller scale, so maybe, as you said, in 4–5 years.

What I envision as potentially very exciting is Augmented Reality games based on fitness and general physical activity. Which can be pretty awesome

I had an existing business in the fitness and health industry that was doing really well, and I saw an opportunity to build something that could gain traction.

At the time, I was also obsessed with Bitcoin and thought it would be a cool idea to combine Lightning and fitness.

It’s a great way to get moving, win Bitcoin, or stay disciplined.

Thank you! I’d love to hear feedback from you guys about the challenges. It’s also possible for users to host challenges, which we hope to activate soon. This should introduce some variety!

If you have any specific type of a challenge (with goals and duration) I am all ears!

I wasn’t aware of this app, but as a big runner and Bitcoiner, I’m super excited to try this app and the challenges! Let’s get moving!

Hey! Definitely! We've been on Nostr for quite some time but only recently started posting. We don’t have much of a following there yet, but we’ll keep pushing more actively!

Yes! There’s a very cool opportunity to map gyms and offer gym-goers a loyalty program for consistency. There are even more creative things you can do, but that would be a long topic!

Cool, I just signed up for the community call! As for NWC, not at the moment, but if there’s user demand, we will integrate it

Not yet, sorry, but next year!

Hey! There’s no Ponzi aspect in Workit, as we simply organize competitions and challenges without incorporating coins or NFTs into the game model.

I am Christian so Jesus Christ

Thank you! It will be released next year!

Yes, it will be released next year!

Hey, sorry, it will be available next year!

We will launch it next year, sorry for the delay!

not yet, sorry, but next year it's coming!

We only have access to Apple's health data, which is not stored on our end. You can use the Lightning keychain, earn 10 sats a day for free, and play challenges for free.

We generate revenue in two ways:

1. Premium Subscriptions: Users purchase a premium subscription to unlock workout programs and personalized nutrition plans, mostly used by the weight loss community. We reward them with sats for their exercise efforts, ideally encouraging them to start playing challenges.
2. Step Challenges: For example, 10 people bet 10K sats each to enter a challenge, creating a prize pool of 100K sats. The goal is to walk 10K steps a day for two weeks. If 5 participants win and 5 lose, we take a small cut from the pot of the participants who lost. The remaining goes to the winners.

Hope this helps!

Additionally, we give away 10 sats per day for free in exchange for 10K steps a day. This cost is covered by the revenue we generate from premium subscriptions

That's awesome! We are currently part of an accelerator program. In January, we will raise our pre-seed and skyrocket the project!

At the moment, we have a very basic anti-cheat system integrated, but as we raise our pre-seed, we’ll work on improving it!

Ideally, we have 20 million monthly active users, and we’re preparing to release something special

Actually, yes. Our next release will be 'heartbeat' rewards. You will need to wearing your smartwatch though!

Thank you!!

Thank you so much!

Thank you!! If you have any feedback, we would love to hear it!

Do you mean language-wise? Then yes!

I’m not entirely sure what you mean by fitness cultures, but what we had in mind was doing a #RunningBitcoin (halfin-style) challenge. So organizing marathons has definitely crossed our minds.

Well, when I exercise, I don’t. But if I go for a walk, then yes.

I particularly love Harold Budd, Brian Eno, and Burial. But there are many others. I listen to all genres of music.

You can play challenges and earn sats for your steps for free. You can send/receive Bitcoin without limits, no withdrawal thresholds. There are no ads in the application.

If you want access to workout programs and the ability to earn Bitcoin for exercising, you’ll need to purchase the premium subscription. Premium users can also participate in up to three challenges simultaneously.

Building the lightning infrastructure and integrating it into the app. 100% this.

We generate revenue from premium subscriptions and by taking a cut from the prize pools of the step challenges we host.

We also give away 10 sats for free in exchange for completing 10K steps a day. This cost is covered by the revenue we generate from premium subscriptions.

https://exerwin.com/philosophy.pdf I have not, but I will definitely take a look. Thanks!

We haven’t published it yet, but we’re gathering as much feedback as possible from our users and making product decisions based on that!

Do you mean in challenges, how we ensure the data is authentic? Or are you referring to something like data leaks?

Yes, it's a lightning keychain like Wallet of Satoshi, or Breez, Muun, or any other!

I currently work out 3 times a week due to a lack of time. In the past, I used to do 5 workouts a week!

You can track your step activity, calorie intake/burn, water intake, and sleep (through health data), all of which come with accompanying charts for weekly, monthly, and yearly views.

Get 10 million monthly active users. To be honest, it’s very important for me that this project succeeds, as it will enable me to do what I want to achieve in the future.

I like pull-ups, and I hate squats! So I do squats more

No, it relies on Apple Health data! However, we will be adding smartwatch support, as it will be necessary for our new types of challenges!

We’re currently part of an accelerator program that finishes in January. After that, we plan to raise our pre-seed funding and then skyrocket the project!

Not yet, sorry! We are currently only on iOS, but we’ll be announcing some exciting news in January, including updates about the Android version!

I’m not exactly sure how the name came up, but I remember designing the logo as a "lightning" bolt, and the name "Workit" just popped into my head

Next year, sorry for the delay! We will announce some exciting news in January

Workit is a gamified fitness app that pays you Bitcoin for staying active.

Well, it’s hard to quantify how many agree and how many don’t, but I’ll give it a shot:

The way I see Bitcoin being widely adopted as a medium of exchange, it won’t come from El Salvador, the United States, or any nation-state.

I believe a new city will be built from scratch.

Yes, that’s part of the plan, but not at the moment. We are currently focused on step challenges, but our next challenge type will be based on heartbeats, essentially focusing on exercise. For example, “Stay in your personal active zone for X minutes to achieve the daily challenge milestone goal.”

Building on Lightning is super hard, especially if you are building a self-custodial solution. I thought it would've been easier

We’ve basically cracked what goes viral on Instagram. Recently, they allowed carousel posts with music to appear in the Reels Explore section (like TikTok). It’s a great way to grow quickly if you create the right content for the right audience.

Well, I’m not a very outgoing person and don’t meet a lot of people, but I’ve come across some interesting individuals in Bitcoin. It’s hard to pick someone in particular though.

Hey! Thank your for your question.

Do you mean like a progressive web app? Not at the moment, but we will be releasing our Android app next year.

The app relies on Apple's health data to track your steps. That's the only data we have access to.

Yes, we are doing a small maintenance, should be working in a few moments.

The free sats we give out is solely for user retention. The cost is covered from the revenue we generate from premium subscriptions.

Ideally, we invite you to start playing challenges! Hope this helps!
