❓ What were we doing at the moment of announcing the results?

Do you think there are cheaters in the project? Of course, there are!
And we do not want them to take the prizes

For this reason, a few hours before the results, we did a lot of work:
1️⃣ Our “anti-cheat” created a list of potential violators. Those whose actions and tickets we do not trust based on various criteria. (we won't list them to avoid tempting new ways to cheat)
2️⃣ We automatically excluded malicious violators from the giveaway. Those who 100% tried to deceive us and you.
3️⃣ For those flagged as “potential cheaters” by the anti-cheat system, we had to check manually. Opening each one up and delving into their data, excluding them in case of confirmed violations.
4️⃣ After that, we launched the randomizer.
5️⃣ Then we went through and ensured that among the winners there were no individuals we do not trust. It turned out there were none.

In total, several hundred fraudsters were excluded from the giveaway.

✅ Did we manage to eliminate all of them? Definitely not. But each time we will identify them more, with greater accuracy and speed. And we have only just started. Together, we will defeat all fraudsters and manipulators.

P.S. Why didn't you, one of the 22,000 participants, win an iPhone? A soulless, yet honest randomizer is precisely that – a randomizer, as it selects in a random manner. Next time, luck will be on your side.

This is the last post for today. Now we’re going to rest ❤️

What’s next? 🗓

Three weeks have passed, the first steps have been taken, and it’s time to share our next plans.

💻 What are we doing behind the laptops that you will see in the app?
– We are making the connection steps simpler and more convenient. Especially for Android. The journey for users on this platform is still complicated and challenging.
– We are scaling our StepPeople community – are you with us?
– We are improving leaderboards and other interaction mechanics with friends to make walking even more enjoyable.
– We are adding features that will expand the use of coins. For example: buying NFTs with coins. What do you think?
– Even more giveaways. We will conduct more events with different mechanics, prize pools, and drawing timelines. Together, we will find out what is most interesting and resonates the most.

🌟 A bit about listing
There have been many questions about it, and yes – we are striving for it, but at the same time, we want to ensure quality and long-term support for the coin and not to turn into a scam. Therefore, we are not rushing you and are moving towards our goal step by step. You have plenty of time to accumulate coins.
Whether to spend them or not is your choice. Our choice is to motivate you for greater offline activity through our online solutions.

👊 By the way. What do you think of "StepPeople" as the unofficial name of our community?

Why did we create StepMania? 👣

To motivate people to walk more and, additionally, to delight them with pleasant bonuses.

🪙 StepMania is your partner. A friend who inspires, supports, and rewards you for your activity. Giveaways, games, rewards, and even the opportunity to earn – all of this is simply for your steps! Just walk

💟 We believe that it is through the game that you can achieve any of your goals with enjoyment!

Compare how far you’ve walked in the last three weeks to how much you walked before that. We would be interested to hear if you’ve made progress, or perhaps you’ve started walking less

Bots or cheaters. Who is more important? 🤖

We have seen your concerns about bots in the chat and would like to share our perspective.
You linked your steps, and you may have noticed that the registration process for bots looks quite arduous, especially on Android. It’s easier for bots to tap than to walk. 😂

Therefore, at this moment, we are focusing on cheaters – those who artificially inflate their activity.

❓ Why?
– They destroy the spirit of competition.
– They deceive not only us but the entire community.
– They walk (if they even walk) solely for the coins, while the main idea of StepMania is activity and the endorphins that come with it
– It’s simply unfair

We have shared how we find them and what actions we take in previous posts. Take a look and read through them

🐈‍⬛ For now, we have disabled the leaderboard for our chat.
Watching the same users "honestly" rack up 30-40 thousand steps daily goes against our philosophy and the goals of the project

We will definitely double-check the records. If the numbers prove to be accurate, we will let you know

Play for the steps, not for the numbers

What’s going on with the prizes? 🎁

We’ve contacted the iPhone winners and are preparing the prizes for shipment. Two smartphones were won by users from St.Petersburg, Russia and Tajikistan. However, the third winner hasn’t responded to our messages yet.

What do you think we should do with the iPhone? Suggestions in the comments, please.

The fitness tracker winners will also receive their prizes soon. We’ve heard from people from Russia, Belarus, Germany, and other countries. The watches will be sent to them as soon as we gather the shipping information for all the winners.

⭐️ The holders of TG Premium didn’t hesitate and most of them have already written to us.

Your prizes won’t stay in the "warehouse" for long. Expect a photo report from our winners soon! 📸

We’re 1 month old! 💖

On February 5, StepMania recorded the first steps of our users. Some of you have been motivated to achieve new records and wear out your shoes. Others have found themselves taking longer routes to the fridge and enjoying the extra coins 😏

Thank you for stepping with us, even when it’s easier to just lie down 😈

We welcome your congratulations in the comments and your steps in the app 🤜

Caution, scammers 🚨

We have discovered that scammers have released a fake token under the guise of StepMania.

💸 Under no circumstances should you purchase it, as you risk losing your assets.

We are planning a listing, but at the same time, we want to ensure long-term support for the token. If a coin is released, you will be the first to know about it

P.S. Thank you to the attentive subscribers who sent us screenshots – you helped protect the community from scammers 💝

Statistics 📈

We decided to share the statistics for the past week with you – let us know what other data you would like to receive from us.

🏅 Now, let's move on to the numbers:
● Over the past 7 days, users have taken over 550 million steps. That's more than the distance from the Earth to the moon.
● The personal record was set by Alexander F. – 40,268 steps in a day.
● The longest streak to date is 36 days. Currently, 3 people are maintaining it.

Each of you has contributed to the overall record – that deserves recognition. Let's keep turning the planet with our steps together!
