Also
I joined the site today...it appears to be approx 7 days old in its current format ( no posts prior to that) was it existing before that? Not much activity
Notes
1 There are currently only 58 members as per Directory
2 i tested messages, pic upload and posting links.............. working OK
3 Easy to use but not much fun YET.... Unable to find a tipping option or FAQ
4 Created a space It has options private or public anyone can join or invite only / request only etc.
5 Can see potential as a social/dating site...Particularly so many language options which opens up almost the whole planet as their market.
Could be the nxt twitter focusing on dating/social interaction ..worth a small punt and wait to see if they can market successfully.
Thanks for the input Qwerty We had a different layout and style before this one that was put up about a week ago. The old layout made news and events very attractive but sacrificed easy to use interfaces for socializing online.
A tipping function for Flirt needs to still be built in as does a lot of features such as match maker's or finders such as a tinder swipe game and suggested matches giving it that dating site feel rather then social networking.
Happy to hear you see it as a twitter and not a facebook the publicness of twitter or even a pinterest of sorts is much more what we are going for where you aren't limited by your networks to how many people you reach. There is more to build before we feel we can put this out there in a concentrated area like a college to get an initial user base to utilize it and actually find people they realistically could meet up with and go on a date with.
As far as the coin trading volume goes, very likely someone put a bot on it, but this coin wasn't a coin of the day for the first hit so they definitely paid some fees to coin swap. not all that sure of the reason.
And sorry the main chain is held up a resolution is being worked out. There is a disconnect between minerpools mining pool and the main node that is leading to one chain going on without the other. The place and fate for the coin or "Flirt" on the site is still to be determined. It may become an internal database/credit system and not a crypto currency at all since the block chain requires some overhead, work, and over site. As well as is a large target for attackers. The only use planned for the coin at this point is use on the site in the same fashion an internal system could handle. So being a trade-able crypto coin doesn't add much benefit but adds a lot of work and confusion to explaining the "flirt" concept of flirt life which hurts user acquisition. If the coin is removed though from the sites future plans flirt credit will be given in equal proportion to whats in your wallet for use on the site.
Opinions are welcomed on this while we plan on what to do concerning Flirtcoin. Perhaps some aspect we overlooked that makes having a crypto currency as a part of flirt life a better idea than an easily understandable internal credit system. If it's a better business decision then we'd do it that way as it is seen now though we can't say it is.
So do I understand correct that you consider abandoning this coin..? Of course you can use your own internal credit system. That would not be innovative, that is a way everybody does, and you will do just like everybody else... Having crypto coin as a payment system inside a website is kinda 'cool', but maybe thats just me thinking that way, maybe most of the users of the site don't care about technology (except for their cool expensive smartphones, which they worship). Maybe...
How you are going to give/sell the 'flirts' to users (if that is not a crypto currency)? Sell them via SMS/credit card/Paypal etc? If you keep the idea of having flirt as cryptocurrence, you could implement am easy way for users to buy it for BTC on the website itself, using the API of the exchange. Do you think users of the website could care about crypto and BTC, or flirting/dating is the only/main interest of target audience of the site? What about giving some Crypto/Bitcoin "flavour" to your dating site, I mean like have some more news related to crypto, and in general try to attract some attention from technology-oriented young folks, as well the ones who like the money decentralisation ideas and have some hippie/anarchist thinking specific to Bitcoin lovers? It could make this site unique. But again, you know your audience better, so this is just a thought.. you decide...
