Proof of Location is a new field at the bleeding edge of technology and is an important part of the Internet of Things, gaming, supply chains, insurance and many other fields. Your host, Kiersten Jowett, is a Proof of Location Specialist in blockchain technology but this podcast isn't just about blockchain technology. Lay of the Land introduces you to specialists in all areas related to proof of location.What is proof of location? Proof of location is like a mirror. Our digital world is mirroring our physical world and what proof of location is trying to do is build a better, more accurate mirror in the digital world to better represent where things are in the real world. It's an exciting and complex field involving computer science, social science, law, finance, cryptography, mechanism design and software engineering. Join me for each mind blowing episode of Lay of the Land!!

Is community mapping for crypto the road to fresher, fairer maps?
This week’s The Lay of the Land proof-of-location podcast is with Ariel Seidman, CEO and co-founder of Hivemapper. Listen to the podcast to find out what problem Hivemapper is solving, how it got started and how it’s going.
Hivemapper’s goal is to provide higher quality maps at an affordable price. In our conversation, Hivemapper explains their formula for achieving this goal.
TL;DR
Hivemapper plans to go live at the end of 2022. Hivemapper’s outward-facing dash cams (currently on pre-order) will take pictures of local street views. The dash cam’s location is proven through encrypted GPS and via the Helium hotspot network. Helium’s network uses radio signals to provide internet coverage to IoT devices and record data on the Helium blockchain. For privacy, the dash cam owner’s ID and dash cam location are de-identified. Anyone can own part of the Hivemapper mapping network by using the dash cam to earn the mapping network’s native token, HONEY, or by purchasing HONEY on a cryptocurrency exchange. HONEY runs on the Solana blockchain. Hivemapper Inc. builds APIs on top of the mapping network and The Hivemapper Foundation (a 501(c) independent of Hivemapper Inc. personnel) oversees the governance (technical decisions, economic decisions, and licensing) of the Hivemapper mapping network.
