I'd gladly accept small amounts of cryptocurrency to take pictures of stuff IRL to help train ML/CV algorithms or populate Google Maps.
I was in a Lyft and the drivers use Waze which has the option for them to take a picture of the address if they don't have one yet. But they're not well incentivized to do it.
Just pair this idea with a Pokemon Go/Ingress mechanic or game where I get a tiny bit of Ether or ${cryptocurrency} you've ICO'ed on and I would be more interested.
Mechanical Turk pays shit money, but if your fake money could grow into much more value over time and I am rewarded for being an early adopter then I am potentially more interested.
