[ANN]⭐LIVE STARS ⭐ Revolutionizing Live Adult Entertainment

[Heimer]

After reading your whitepaper, I have to say some things, because I have a little insight in this market.
You mention in section "Competitor comparison" the benefits of LIVE STARS.
I will compare it with a webcamservice which dominates the german market, sonjasluder is one of their domain names.
You pay with your telephonebill, about 3$ / min, immediately, anonymous and without "Payment errors of users".


+Decentralization
+Open source
+Block chain technology
An average user doesn't care about this.


+User anonymity
On sonjasluder you are completely anonymous.


+Ravenue Share
+Payout delay
+Min. payout amount
This is good for models, but the money comes from the visitors and its sad, but, an average user doesn't care about this

To be successful you have to think 99 % from users view. Nobody knows or is interested, how fast the models get their money.
You look mostly from the view of the models, this is honorable, but you have 100 models and on the other side million of users, which will spent the money.
So the most important question is, how much will the minute cost. If you can make a good price, you will succeed, all the other advantages are irrelevant.

Hello,

We do have inside knowledge of the industry and experience of development and support of one of top webcam platforms. Sonjasluder is phone sex service. Why would you even compare it to our platform? What kind of anonimity do you expect from a phone service?
User does not have to care about blockchain or any kind of tech behind the service, however anonymity that is easily provable by open source would matter a lot to regular customers who spend up to several thousand USD monthly using webcam services.

High prices and per-minute payments are caused by high commission fees due to many mediators and the fact competitors have to promote their product on the market. The main reason for such high fees is old and non-optimized business model behind the service. This is the main thing we set to improve.

Most important for webcam users is content and their anonymity. Content is mainly created by models, and as you said, our platform offers a variety of advantages to them. Speaking of anonymity, webcam users complain a lot about the fact their private video and text chats are not really private because website administration is able to check them out. Highest revenue share on the market means members money actually gets to the model.

In webcam, number and quality of models on the platform and creditworthy user traffic are essential for success. We do understand this and that is why conditions for affiliates and models will also be much better than the ones offered by current market.

Thank you for your detailled answer. Do you plan an age verification to ensure that no childs have access to your system?
If yes, which system do you plan to use?

Of course. There is no system. Webcam support staff is in charge of verification submitted model accounts. It is done manually. Lots of fake ID's are being submitted so this process has to be done only by a human.

My question was not about the models, it was about the user.
Because an age verification is contrary to anonymity.

I'm also curious how they will manage to maintain high level of anonimity and be able to verify users. Probably they don't have chances to obtain license if they won't be able to verify it's customers. Anyway Live Stars stuff looks like smart guys so they will come up with something

With such conditions, all models will come to you on the platform, because they will make more money, and many customers will come because there will be a great choice and will buy tokens.

Not sure why we need ANOTHER one of these coins.

because this is the next generation webcam platform! webcam industry has many problems: the lack of anonymity, low percent payout to models, payment delay and much more. LIVE STARS solves all these problems, you can read whitepaper and and you will be convinced of this!

I can understand the need for a solution to those problems, but now why it needs to be solved with a custom ERC20 token instead of Bitcoin or Litecoin, or better yet, a privacy coin with stealth features like ZCash, Monero, Hush, Denarius. Better better yet, cryptocurrencies with anonymity for both sender and receiver using ring signatures and zk-SNARKs.

I think that raising money via ico trough eth, waves or nxt (or what ever that is today) tokens makes more sense when you are transferring proof of membership. If a project decides to send shares of profit, then decentralized proof of ownership / membership makes it easier to track and pay dividends. (If you compare it with doing it via centralized platform.)

Well, you're forgetting the question about the website popularity.

If you have 80% of share but ten times less viewers and donators, that's not worth it.

Except if there is a way to livestream on different websites at the same time.

I hope that the marketing team will find a way to make some buzz around the ICO and the blockchain technology.

I think popularity will come, many people are interested in crypto models. Especially in Japan, crypto-currencies have gained popularity among the population and everyone knows that a large part of the Japanese are single with big money. They are popular online girls on which they spend 5 thousand dollars a month.

Ok thanks.

Are you planning to provide subscriptions (I've read that only top 10 investors will get a discount) or will it be only one time payments ?

All payments will be one-time.

Ok,so for now you don't think about subscription plans ?

I can understand the need for a solution to those problems, but now why it needs to be solved with a custom ERC20 token instead of Bitcoin or Litecoin, or better yet, a privacy coin with stealth features like ZCash, Monero, Hush, Denarius. Better better yet, cryptocurrencies with anonymity for both sender and receiver using ring signatures and zk-SNARKs.

One of the main requirements for the token is its independence. It is achieved by the fact LIVE token is used solely for services of the platform, so it does not get affected by external news and fluctuations.
There will be a convenient way to get and exchange LIVE token using other cryptocurrencies.

It's good to know that you want to protect it from external perturbations,but how do you plan to conveniently make the swap between other coins (without fluctuations that could occur with the other coins) ?

Yes the use of token in a live adult platform is really a smart idea. Much better than FIAT, and the possibility to pay less fees and have a decentralized platform. Blockchain has really a lot to afford to the adult entertainement industry, LIVE STARS can disrupt a lot of things in this market.

[brendan6498011]

Hi,good idea !
I  find in your whitepaper that your platform will solve many problem,but I not find how to prove inv's profits form your platform!

[brendan6498011]

A platform like LIVE Starts can make the value of the token increase, it will bring all the expected features of the blockchain to the platform, like anonymity, low fees, fast transfers, fast payments to the models, etc. though this will be less fancy than Rasputin, which will do the same, but with their own exclusive building where the models will live, though I imagine Rasputin will be more expensive, while Live Stars will be smaller, but cheaper too.

Using adult services is always a delicate thing! So, in my opinion, the most distinctive feature of this service is that it offers the user an anonymous mode. This means that payment for the service will not appear on your monthly invoice. No one can get your information even if the service is hacked!  

[pynetx]

Almost all of the biggest ICO are hiring celebrities to do the promotions for them.
Are you guys planning to do the same.
Just need to pornstars to do the job. I heard they are pretty easy to convince

They are making internal transactions to other ethereum adresses.

The only interesting thing they are doing so many. Mostly icos take money to one address and they send all to another.

But in live stars. They send here https://etherscan.io/address/0x94bd4150e41c717b7e7564484693073239715376#internaltx  but after that they send some of it other accounts. It's strange.

That is much a given, considering that this webcam site is based in the blockchain, I imagine that all parties involved will be anonymous, whether it be the clients, the models, the moderators, etc.

there's nothing tracking you if you use crypto. and users can buy crypto with credit card instead of using credit card directly on the website. sometimes, you have to take responsibility for your privacy. There are other adult themed websites that you can pay with using credit card. I'm sure they have a way of charging that doesn't let anyone know where you spent your money on.

It's nice to have projects that focus on improving the performer's workflow and not just focus on customers, specially in the sex industry were usually women are left apart. Great initiative!

Porn stuffs will always have its own fans and when it combined with crypto currency, it will become greater. People who were previously still shy, can calmly access it.

If you want even more anonymity you can buy bitcoin directly with cash in some shops and hide all the traces from you.
Im sure a lot of people will take this path.

Oh, sure this will give a great boost to the bounty campaign and many people who are not familiar with cryptocurrencies will be curious about this project. I think a pornstar will accept for sure.
