You realize that Osmand~ on f-droid is already Osmand+ right? On Thu, Mar 3, 2016 at 11:11 AM, joost schouppe wrote: > I am surprised to see so few negative reactions. Nothing against the idea, > but it should be better thought out to avoid perverse incentives. > > A quick solution someone alrea

Re: [OSM-talk] OsmAnd financially rewarding mappers

Why would they do that? Handing out free Osmand+ installs would *cost* them money. This system *gets* them money (users donate, mappers get a part, Osmand gets another part). -- Nicolás 2016-03-03 14:11 GMT-03:00 joost schouppe : > I am surprised to see so few negative reactions. Nothing against

Re: [OSM-talk] OsmAnd financially rewarding mappers

I am surprised to see so few negative reactions. Nothing against the idea, but it should be better thought out to avoid perverse incentives. A quick solution someone already suggested was handing out free Osmand+ installs. On Thu, 3 Mar 2016 09:20:05 -0300 Nicolás Alvarez wrote: > The reason why

Yeah, just created a dedicated OSM account and start adding points and ways, who cares that they have that password. It does have to be your normal OSM account with "serious" password. My point is that it might attract people that just upload data without any benefit to OSM (wrong data or data tha

If I understand the discussion on [1] correctly OsmAnd will reward mappers with bitcoins. The bitcoins seem to be paid via a formula based on the number of changesets you upload. I think this is a bad idea, (just like Jack Burke illustrates with the Dilbert strips in the linked topic). What do you
