That kind of project will never work. Blockchain and Sex will never work. I saw some "Sex-ICOs" in the past and all are the same -> scam or bad.
From the Whitepaper:"until the cryptocurrency is used universally, customer can make payments in cash, if wanted."
So there is no difference compare to current non-blockchain-platforms.
From what I know Nocta is aiming to use blockchain to store verifiable data like identity and photograph, not only currency, but if the payment is made on blockchain, it is safe to say the payment is guaranteed to deliver unlike cash, but cash does provide the flexibility.
Here is some questions for Nocta. So your team is going to create your own decentralized storage system, why not use the existing one like Sia? They support the development on their blockchain, and they want other people to implement services on top of their blockchain. I think Sia solution is sufficient for what your project want to achieve.
What if a child is willing to involve in this industry, and enjoying the work, and very aware of the risk, and know how to protect him/herself, and supported by the parents? Will Nocta use the "pre-moderation" as described in whitepaper to stop this action and remove his/her right to involve in the industry? In my opinion, I think Nocta should leave moderation to the government and legal law, but decentralize the process and payment, binded with legal law.
How is Nocta going to prevent the issue of "multi-accounts", for example, they need at least 3 users verify the photograph to make sure it is real, what is preventing he/she to self verifying and self paying? I don't think there is a way to guarantee the sex activity has been executed in real life. I my opinion, in this scenario, it is entirely possible for a person with criminal mind use Nocta as a method to hunt for his/her target.
Thank you.
Hello.
First of all, Nocta is not aiming to store any data in the blockchain, except ratings, statuses and the payment system, of course.
About Sia (and similar projects like Storj). Storage of the files is a paid function for users. Files are static, there is no option to change files and store the dynamic content. So changing profile options is impossible this way. Economic mechanics of th Nocta presume that users will pay only for the functions that give them some additional opportunities. Require payments for the basic functions of the platform is the road to nowhere.
About child prostitution. Our team and most of our potential users have moral limitations. The main thing is that we do not want to have any relation to the involvement of children into this market, regardless of their parents opinion. We think that juvenile justice is not working like this. And the reputation of the platform for pedophiles will not work for us in a good way.
About verifying and multi-accounts. The verification process is totally random, user cannot choose the sexworkers profile to vote for. About the rating system. Basically, users will have a "weight" of their votes. More experienced users (that have activity among several offerers) have a stronger influence on reputation of workers. Nocta is not pretending to be a flawless system, and there is always "criminal minds" but concerning to the usual relations between people on this market, it will be easier and safier to use the services.
Thanks for the questions.
