Hi, as per your request, I will not discuss SSIO.

However, I will state that I am not user bradpink, and I am not connected to SSIO, Pink or Nocta. I'm just a punter looking for an investment, and potentially someone with enough knowledge to be of assistance to the company.

For your information, and that of anyone reading this thread, this is how you answer a question  in a non-confrontational way https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2244143.new#new

Also, for anyone interested in this project, you should be aware there is a 3rd option! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2244143.new#new

Ezze  -

Thanks for the reply and for taking the time to explain your criticisms of Nocta - you make some interesting points, and I look forward to seeing their reply!

You said "As we see, behind Nocta the same guys who made Lust, Eros, and Gumwall" - how do you know that? Aren't they all anonymous teams?

Also - I agree with Brad's comment that the name "SexService" will not be a good one - no one wants an app on their phone with that name, I think something more discreet would be better.



Brad -

Thanks for the introduction to your project, and I have left a reply with some questions on the Pink thread. Do you agree with the comment that Pink and SexService are different projects, compared to Nocta and SexService which are more similar (like I asked on the other thread?).

Thanks,

Hi,

Interesting project, thanks for the information. I have some questions, if you don't mind?

Length of development: How long have you been working on this project? When did you come up with the idea? Why are you now doing an IPO?

IPO: I like your approach of being honest and saying that you don't think crypto is close to mass adoption, and as such you would not create your own coin but take payment from current major coins - whether of not I agree, I can see your logic. And following from that, you state that you are conducting an IPO, not ICO. So, my question is, where are you planning to list? I guess not America, as issuing tokens in this format would be (to my understanding) against the SEC rules? Also, if you are planning to remain anonymous, how will you register a company?
                 You then state "At IPO, Series A investors can, at their election, participate in a stock buyback program of up to 20% of their shares (an instant 200% ROI)" - to clarify, that means that if I buy in now at $1/share, I can sell 20% of my holdings at $10/share in December?
                 You are aiming to sell 10,000,000 shares, is that correct (5m in Series A sale + 5m in IPO)? How many are being held by the development team? What will be the total amount?
                  Why are you planning an IPO now? I mean there are other established sites that do a similar thing, and I don't recall any of those having fundraisers or going public?
                                                                                                                                                                               
Security/Anonymity/Censorship: You explain that this will not be handled by blockchain (although transactions can be made through anonymous cryptos if the users choose), however you must see that - especially posting on this forum - that an argument could be made that your data would be more secure, users could be more anonymous, and the platform more censorship resistant, if you were to integrate more with blockchain? On your website, it states that "throwing some JavaScript and blockchain technology won't solve real world problems" - I can see your point, but I think it deserves more of a discussion than that. I also note that one of your competitors, Nocta, is stating similar things.
                                                     You mention that "being extrajurisdictional and anonymous, Pink minimizes legal risk for everyone involved. Pink is immune to subpoenas". Could you expand on that? How is this possible?

Competition: Is it fair to say you are trying to provide a service that is somewhere between adultwork.com and tinder? But where Pink will also add content/value with algorithms and customer service? 
                          Could you explain the differences, if any, between Pink, Nocta and SSIO? From what little I can tell, I think that Pink are offering more of a matchmaking service than the other 2, which are more like listings site that provide ecosystems for payments. I think it's curious that these 3 have all come up at around the same time, do you have any thoughts on that?

Development: You don't really mention anything about your process, unlike Nocta (who state they have consulted with sexworkers etc) and SSIO who have been putting out a lot of articles and research. What inspired Pink into existence? Who are you working with and discussing with?

Marketing: With a team wanting to remain anonymous, and users who want to remain anonymous, how to you plan to generate any hype around this project? Also, how do you plan to grow users?


I hope you don't mind all the questions. Basically I believe there would be a lot of potential users for a platform like this, but it is hard to choose an investment with 3 projects that all seem very similar, and are at similar stages of development. So, I want to be convinced where to put my money.

Thanks,

Hi Ezze and investors here,

What are your thoughts on Nocta? The projects look almost identical - and this was basically confirmed by someone posting on behalf of Nocta on this forum - so why SexService over Nocta?

This is not a troll post, it's a genuine question - I can see the usage case for this sort of platform,  but I only want to invest in one.

Hello again,

I was about to buy this, but then I found sexservice.io which looks like they are at the same stage of development - so why is Nocta going to be better?

It looks like nocta is for aimed at  paying customers and service providers, but sexservice.io is more of a hookup site, that will also have escorts on it.... you could argue that the latter is the better business model.

So - why Nocta and not sexservice.io ?

Hi,

Interesting project - I joined this forum just to ask this questions!

Is there a minimum of 1 ETH investment for the presale, or can I send less than that?

Thanks.
