About this app

Burningman is a creative experiment that aims to motivate you to walk more.

To use the App, you will need to give the permission to read your step count data from Google Fit. Once you give permission, we will use the step count data to determine how much you walk compared to other App users. Every month we will reward users with small earn outs issued in Bitcoins, so the more you walk the more you earn.

Note: The App does not involve any buying or trading in Bitcoins. We only transfer your earn outs in Bitcoins. The App only uses the step count data stored in Google Fit and this information is not shared with anyone else (detailed privacy policy can be found here http://trialx.com/bm-privacy/)

FAQs
1. Why did we create this App?
We see Burningman as a creative social experiment. We hope the app can motivate people to walk more. Some experts recommend that one should try to walk 10,000 steps a day but most people walk far fewer steps. Can we burn together, to walk more?

2. Does this App actually use my device for Bitcoin mining or trading?
No, absolutely no. We don't install any Bitcoin mining software or run background processes to utilize your device’s computing power to mine Bitcoins. Similarly, we don't allow any Bitcoin trading between App users.

3. Ok, so what does this App have to do with Bitcoins?
The app rewards you with payouts earned as Bitcoins based on the number of steps you walk, compared to everyone else and the number of Bitcoins available every month. At the end of the month, we will transfer your earnings to your Bitcoin Wallet. The App has nothing to do with Bitcoin mining or trading in Bitcoins.

4. What if I don't have a Bitcoin ID?
You can create a Bitcoin ID in just a few minutes on sites like Blockchain.info or Coinkite.com and then save that ID in our App. If you absolutely don’t want to use Bitcoins then just email us at team@burningmanapp.co. We may consider sending payouts via Paypal in equivalent USD.

5. How many Bitcoins are available to be earned each month?
The number of Bitcoins available to be distributed will be determined based on the number of users in the Burning Man App community. We will start from 2 Bitcoins in a month and increase that as the community grows.

6. Does the App need Internet Connectivity to work?
Yes. Even though Google Fit can send your step data to us without Internet, we need connectivity to sync your step count with our database and to update the numbers. This also explains why you may see some changes in the numbers when you access the App offline versus when it is online.

7. When will I get my payment?
We will send the payment within 2-3 business days after the completion of each calendar month.

If you have any other questions, comments or feedback, ping us at team@burningmanapp.co. Full list of FAQs are provided here (http://trialx.com/bm-faq/) and in the App.
