I’ll try it tomorrow and let you know, I was looking up ways to spoof gps through devtools but I can imagine some countermeasures, namely, comparing your location when you try to claim a faucet and deciding you arrived awfully fast from newfoundland to the maltese islands.

If I can only teleport my location as fast as I can drive, it would hardly be worth it.

Create a million accounts, each spread out in a grid around the world. Then, as soon as a claimable geolocation appears, you use the closest to claim it!

Aha, they have no verification or captcha even for creating accounts. I’m sure its already being done.

That is why developing proof-of-location is important.

what’s the state of the art? I always imagined you could just have some random number generator sunk into concrete somewhere and do kind of like the authenticator apps do: turn the crank on the RNG to produce the next key. except instead of having 30 seconds to type it in, your phone would have like .3 milliseconds to communicate that to the geo-beacon to prove that you’re nearby, then the geobeacon can sign your attestation and you can use that proof however you want
