I dont see how walking around staring at a screen provides any value.... clearly you couldnt give them steem dollars.... steem power... maybe......
people would just spoof their gps location and jack all the SBD for sure....

It could be use as direct advertising as @steemhorizon just said below. There's a lot of other possibility I'm sure we haven't thought about.
Hmmm.
I would be happy to spread out some SteemDollars from my account around Norway, Perú and maybe other countries - just to have fun with the masses - maybe in front of CCTV-cameras so I could see them when they collect :)
They could expire within 24 hours and return to me if nobody collected them for example.
.... AND when they collect - it could say "Collected $8 placed by @fyrstikken" or any other @username ...
Of course we would have to make the game more secure then Nintendos Game, I´m sure we could figure out something cryptically clever in that sense... :)
Staring at a screen does provide little value, but when combined with other variables, can be highly valuable to someone willing to pay for it.
Exactly @blakemiles84 - for people willing to pay for it, imagine:
It could be used for advertising - Say I run a store, and placed some steem-dollars around my store every hour - everybody playing the game would idle around there waiting for the next batch - which would again create a stream of new customers to my store since I could accept steemdollars for products, foods and beverages, and groups of people attract more groups of people, so even if I ran a hot-dog stand, I am pretty sure I could increase my business by dropping some dollars around my stand-spot ;)
It could be used to reduce crime - I could place steemdollars around the city-block at intervals, making sure there is always people walking in the streets 24/7 with cameras - criminals would have to stay away, too many witnesses - could even make a special version for guards, in order to collect their payment they would be instructed to go from place to place within minutes to check all kinds of corners and bushes - steemdollars delivered from @fyrstikken to @username if @username picks it up between 20:30 and 20:32 for example - would keep the night watchers actually moving instead of sitting in their cars sleeping on duty...
There is a lot of things to this in the idea-face, so please contribute with what you can imagine a system like this being useful for and what it can be fun for.
It would change the world out there for sure
Its a cheap way to advertise, patrol physical spaces, take video, etc. I think the lures on PokemonGo are around $1 for 30 minutes. Multiply a hot dog or ice cream cone by the number of players coming and you have made multiples of your investment.
So much of positive comments and nobody want to think about a proof of location :-). Without it this would not work :-)
