NLnico. I am looking over your math and you seem to be within reason saying that.
Although, Depending on who you are hosting with bandwidth is "free" meaning it is included in the package. Now don't get me wrong, I'm sure most bandwidth providers have un upper level on what they are willing to offer with packages.. That being said though, When you have a private show you can be raking in $500-$1000 for an hour or two of streaming. Multiples of that private show can easily end you on the right side of profit even if you were to have outlandish bandwidth costs.

... I understand you boys sitting there trying to debunk the possibility of what I am trying to achieve. I'd be pissed to if I was paying $250 a month for terrible internet. The distribution network I plan to set up is my own...
I'm certain many camwhores, much like yourself, dreamed of their very own website/"distribution network." But being somewhat more inciteful than yourself, they understood that willingness and ability to preform on cam is not a sufficient skill set for starting a business. That's why trained bears don't own and run their own circuses. ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) And wolves do not listen to the opinion of sheep (or lambs in your instance). Starring on cam is one thing, aiming to make business out of it is another. It's to early in the day for me to deal with this troll circlejerk.. Atleast ABitInterested has some sort of minor handle on the industry. If I recall not a day or two ago you were asking to be shit on and fisted (or something). Please Lamb, for the love of your own reality and mine just go find someone else to entertain yourself with.. I haven't the time nor the patience for your ridiculous behavior or input.

Kyle,
I have been in the adult industry for 13+ years, specifically on the webcam end of things. I know the ins and outs of that industry as well as anyone, from affiliate marketing to talent recruitment to processing, etc. I have never and will never host my own site because of the amount of capital required to do one properly and with any success.
Are you aware that simply being an affiliate of somewhere like Chaturbate, where you only make 20%, actually gives you a bigger percentage of revenue than they keep for themselves? After processing fees, chargebacks, the model split and hosting they are left with a fraction of that. They work on scale, a scale they achieved with a 7 figure investment and lots of time.
You can keep calling me a troll and that's fine. I'm simply telling you that your math sucks and hope you realize it **before** you invest a cent into your own site. I could hand you the best webcam software in the world right now for free and you would never get it off the ground for the amount of money you hope to raise in the future. If you put the entire amount towards marketing you would end with $0 and a site that has no amount of traffic or talent to speak of.
Again, good luck.
What confuses me about this is the fact that the live webcam adult entertainment industry hasn't been around for 13 years.. 13 years ago we were rocking 56kbps dial up modems (or worse) and simply didn't have the processing power nor bandwidth to do what is possible now. Now not trying to call a bluff or be an ass here. But over a decade ago what we do now simply was not possible. Now call me a dreamer, But I think you are limiting yourself with your misconceptions of what is achievable within realistic budgets. A 7 figure budget as you pegged chaturbate to have would be > 10,000,000 and frankly I think that site was built on a small fraction of such. I understand you trying to share your experience with me and such.. But at the end of the day you are competition and I don't expect you to offer me any real valid advice. That being said I realize we are both going after the same pie, And I don't expect you to help me. Of course if I put it all towards marketing I would end up broke. What is the point of marketing unless you are bringing something fresh to the table? Sex sells itself, Just a matter of delivering it a fashion where it beats the next delivery medium.. Start small, get some previously unseen client interaction going and then go for advertising. If you truly have been in this business 13 years and you are still in IPO mode you are doing it wrong imho.

Nice to came back and see a troll circle jerk again on this thread. *shakes head*
I'm not sure where you live but bandwidth is affordable here.
"Well, video streaming CDNs cost quite a bit too.. You are aware that bandwidth costs ~$250 (for your scale of volume) for a 3hr show with 1.2k viewers (480p)?" - "rupture"
^ where are you pulling these silly numbers from? In no way does a 480P stream lasting 3 hours cost $250. That is ridiculous even to think about let alone actually write on a public forum. -_-
I understand you boys sitting there trying to debunk the possibility of what I am trying to achieve. I'd be pissed to if I was paying $250 a month for terrible internet. The distribution network I plan to set up is my own. Until that time we will use other cam sites to distribute talent and video. Think about what you have said for a second regarding the infrastructure and bandwidth. Get realistic for a second and please circlejerk one another elsewhere.
Also I am a bit confused.. Is "ABitInterested" running some xxxProfit deal? If so I'd love to speak with him regarding what his costs are.. Because frankly if he is spending $1000 a month on a business internet connection he needs to base himself somewhere else.
Cheers,
Kyle.T

What happened to the 0.05 btc shares I reserved, klye? Was gonna pay up now.
Sorry Acidyo. I had set your shares aside but after a few days you had not confirmed you still wanted them nor throw anything down to secure them. :/

Someone invested 20 BTC ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) Power and Prestige. Anyone @ 0.000991? just curious. Profits coming to a corner near u. Not sure if hooker joke...

Well, I wish everyone involved lots of luck but don't see this one doing to well. The horrible math and complete misunderstanding of the industry aren't great indicators.
Klye, if you ever need some advice shoot me a PM.
Why would I need advice from someone with a negative rep and terrible misdemeanor? I'll let my shareholders and myself guide this venture instead of trolls thank you..

IPO shares SOLD!
Congrats to the investors that got in on the first round shares. Klyemax plans to bring you live adult web based entertainment as soon as possible! We will be piggybacking off other sites until we can get ours up and tested.
Cheers all!

Hail.
I have taken some BTC out of the IPO address to print out business cards (to hand out to potential new talents) as well as run an advertisement in the local paper calling out for new talent. Although we already have some talent on board I would like to beef up our rosters so we can provide cams rolling without stops. My goal is to have at the very least 1 Klyemax model on cam making revenue for both the investors and the studio 24 hours a day. We believe running ads locally may help our chances of achieving this goal.
Cheers,
Kyle.T

Quite impressed actually. As a man who likes dice sites I'd say well done. However. Is it possible to implement a "/2" button beside the "x2" button for the manual betters?

Very excited to announce the IPO is nearly sold out and close to completion. Only a handful of shares remain and Klyemax Studios is looking into equipment as well as developers for the upcoming site.
Thank you for helping us achieve our startup funding goals through this IPO. We hope to have things running as fast as possible for the investors
Cheers,
Kyle.T

So the "talent" are going to be your employees? This is getting interesting...
Absolutely they are going to be my employees. Are Hugh Hiefner's bunnies not his employees? The bunnies that have taxes withed and medical insurance provided are, yes ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Taxes and polysporin! What porn dreams are made of! (jokes)

...I am having a lawyer friend write up waivers in case of accidental pregnancy or death...[/b]
>lawyer friend >waivers in case of death Your friend the lawyer? He's not your friend ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) You don't have a friend who went to law school? I thought everyone my age had at least one friend who ended up a lawyer! So your friend the lawyer said "Funding a camwhore site by selling unregistered securities? Make sure everyone signs a waiver in case they die on cam, bro." Something like that? Not exactly. I am going to get him to use his legal jargon speak to make up a nice waiver for talent just in case something ever does go wrong.

In my jurisdiction as long as all talent is over the age of 18 their is no problem with them camming. I am having a lawyer friend write up waivers in case of accidental pregnancy or death, As well as having him advise me over any codes or laws we may rub against.
Wait WTF, accidental pregnancy or death? First not double bagging it while fucking many women is insane, 2nd what kind of porn are you filming? Lmao uvwvj! You never know what can happen. And I'd like to cover the investors arse as well as my own just incase something terrible was to happen. Double backflip penetrations could be risky for all those involved and it is a must we plan for said extreme maneuvers!

Did you check the legal status for the shows and legal requirements and all? Having it closed because something wasnt checked wouldnt be fun i guess.
I guess another important question is what the total amount of share at the end will be. I mean when one buys now a share he gets 1/250000 of 15% of the total tips. So its important to know how many shares you will sell later. If you would sell another 250000 shares later then the same old share only would get 1/250000 of 7.5% of the total tips. And so on. So i think its important to know what you plan later in order to know how devalued the initial shares could become.

The phase 1 shares will be worth 10x their number value when the second IPO launches. A small ammount of dillution will occur at this time but the second share prices will start at 0.001 BTC. Giving 1st round shareholders what I believe to be fair compensation for the 10% dillution or so that is going to occur. Of course second phase IPO does not launch until we are proved profitable to investors and start to expand multiple studios to large population centers. Cheers, Kyle.T
