    If it has anything to do with crypto the intentions are not good.

      Nah it’s just that it uses blockchain technology for some reason (hype I guess), but it’s not coin related. (Blockchains can be used for other purposes than money).

        The Blockhain idea is actually great, crypto-currency is the scam. People need to learn differentiate.

      Stop using “crypto” as a synonym for Blockchain. Crypto means cryptography and it’s used in the communication between your browser and websites.

        You are 100% correct. I meant to say blockchain.

  That’s a great idea, if someone can bring the software and enough advertising to make it successful. It’s really hard but possible.

    It has already been done, that’s what the article is about: drivers.coop

    Currently based in NYC, but getting ready for a big launch in Minneapolis in response to the incumbent rideshare companies pulling out of the city in protest of increased rideshare regulation. Big opportunity to seize some marketshare without needing that much startup capital if your better financed competitors are removing themselves from that part of the market.

      Best of luck to them. I’d love if this became a reality, it would make the whole gig economy a better place.

      Past few times I have tried it. No drivers in Denver. I will keep trying but they need more drivers and this is not something that happens overnight
