I'm interested in creating a product (e.g. something that works with Meetup.com) that would require us to verify they went to the meetup location. This should be as seamless as possible for the user, preferably without them downloading a new app.

How could we: A) allow the meetup organizer to ping phones to verify the people that went to the meetup

B) use Google Maps to allow users to give us a one-time ping of their location

Edit: We'd essentially reward the organizers for getting people to show up. We want it to be as difficult as possible for them to game.

Much appreciated

If so, what might that look like? If not, why not?

If humans capital is the most valuable asset on Earth then it's plain to see that the current economic system fails to allocate and attribute value in a way that best aligns with this reality. It would be the burden of the prevailing economic system to do so.

On one level, think Twitter and Snap being worth some $20+ Billion each despite making little to no money net net. What if they somehow pegged a token to their metrics, allowing them to remove a layer of abstraction and unlock value based on something closer to what really matters: the utility it provides people.

Is my head just in the clouds here? I'm looking for some friction.
