In an anarchic society, something like this would work. I just personally believe that this is going to have a... "unique" time with all the various things that will happen or I predict will happen thanks to the use of this app.
I hate to say it, but I'm not sure how well this would work. It certainly would help get people less dependent on the government, but this could end up backfiring.
And 300BTC is a massive investment...

received the investment of 10 Million NXT and 300 BTC, worth $200,000, from crypto- currency investor and entrepreneur Marc De Mesel. Cool. However I really doubt the survival chances of this type of application. I'd rather call my local police than calling my friends in case of emergency. If I forgot to bring my wallet after eating a dinner, I would be able to call my friends using default cellphone - there is no need for this type of app. I do wish to see this application success however since it received funding in cryptocurrencies. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) .

So sad! This profile does not appear as the #1 result (on anonymous) Google searches anymore.
Time to be active on the crypto forums again? Proud to be one of the few Legendary members of the Sparkie Red Dot!
Gonna put this on my resume if I ever join a cryptocurrency/blockchain industry!

I think this is a lot of what 4by2 was saying, there isn't a whole lot of potential for this aside for those who are maybe in the bad parts of town. But I too can't see this immediately working considering the ability for the police to show up at a relatively quick pace, or at least the ability to shoot if they trespass on your property.

WOW that's a lot of bitcoin you had to invest. Did you buy shares in the company or is it just a private investment? I do hope you have great success in the app and hope you have a good marketing team behind it. I would love to blog about it on my coin blog for a small bag of satoshi ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . Would be good to get the word out. I love new innovations in technology and wish I was much younger to enjoy the rapid pace of development.

There are examples of many services that can be used from the app level instead of phone calling, so why not the emergency alerts? Mobile apps provide many feature, that can save your time and improve effectiveness - that things are crucial for alerting anyone. Good job ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

i don't get why would someone choose to call a friend in case of emergency! emergency services like police, ambulance,... can get there much faster than my friends can. maybe it is good for some country that doesn't have a decent emergency service.
those devs should spend their time and money on something that has practical use.

Weak hands have been complaining about missing out ever since bitcoin was $1 and never buy the dip. Whales are those who keep buying the dip.

This app is for ghettos and gangbangers. Like Fergusson, Missouri or the many French immigrant arrondissement.

Thats is the great news. This app will be very popular and involving bitcoins for such popular apps will help Bitcoin grow a great deal. We should all encourage these type of apps and solution which promote Bitcoin or uses bitcoin in some way or other.

Thanks so much all for your support! I think this is instrumental because VC's today, even when they invest in bitcoin startups, invest with USD. To my knowledge this is the first VC investment fully done with crypto.

Wow dude thats freaking insane. How did you get all that money to begin with? In any case, about the app, I think this is the type of stuff that ends up getting regulated by governments. There is a risk that they don't like people "playing policemen" so to speak, this is why the software should be decentralized and anonymous. Just like Uber has all those regulation problems because they are competence against taxi, we may see some problems with this. Overall sounds good tho.

The App can come in handy, when you getting gang banged in a pub or something, but when you are in real trouble, I would rather call a ambulance or the police. I agree with one of the other posted.. post proof of this investment or we call it BS. Why would they need that much money to develop a App to call 10 people when you are in shit street? Just put a close friend on speed dial and you set to go. Or use a WhatsAPP group, created for emergency purposes.

I think this kind of app is a good idea, but I understand the concerns of others in this thread; the network can only be as good as the participants. Where I disagree must is with their wholly negative view of the possibilities; if people with professional standards of medical or personal security register, it has the potential to deliver a far better service than current centralised providers.
Reliable identification of both good and bad actors will be the key to success for this app. If both can be reliably ascertained (at least by, say, other natives of the same country/region), then this model could totally outcompete centralised emergency services on speed, care, and price. If you've got good emergency care skills, and you want Bitcoin, I'm buying.
