I've been using Swarm to check-in the places I've been with. It's not really real time since I'm afraid someone may follow me. (Just being cautious.)
About a few weeks ago, I saw this new feature of Swarm, where you can earn one coin for the usual place you've check-in, five coins for checking-in to a new place, and some more coins for beating a record (e.g. 10 check-ins at a mall). A ranking is made for each week, and if you are on top, well, there's more coins waiting for you. The earning of coins will reset every Sunday midnight and you will start at 0 coins the next day to compete again with your Swarm friends. The accumulated coins, however, are in your profile.
Looking at the mobile app, I can't seem to find any virtual store or options where you can use the coins.
Swarm coins for what?
Well, Foursquare made their statement on this issue. (
Foursquare Post) Continue checking-in and earn more coins. Soon, they will update our App, and who knows what's next in store?!
