What are the "DePIN" projects that people think are most likely to actually work? It feels like the category is a new name for something that's been around for a decade (StorJ, various decentralized ubers...) but has never gotten off the ground? So what's the bull case for why it will get off the ground now?

The one DePIN project i'm using with my bike and which actually works pretty well, is mapmetrics.org They are building a web3 alternative to google maps. You'll need a SPT (special position tracker) for your bike, scooter/motobike or car; https://techticsengineering.com/?ref=SIADUDE

I feel like these reward based mapping services just a cheap way to fund data mining. People speculate on the underlying token which pays the bills. I don’t think this is a sustainable business model. Basically just a slow rug pull.

you obviously dont know the project but feel the need to talk it down...i dont know about other projects in that field but mapmetrics is building a web3 map with some innovative and interactive stuff you should read about instead of bitching without knowing shit
