You cannot use the name pink, its already used by the real pink coin. They are the real PINK
Anyway I doubt that your idea is good it sounds fishy to me and if its not an altcoin (no coin/token) it does not belong here in my opinion

Will you invite more advisors to your team?
I'm also curious about this. What areas do you see yourself needing more advisors in, in the future?
After we finish our B round we're going to be doing a CEO and CFO search.
That should be exciting. I hope you guys have the funds by then to get someone awesome.
Is there anyone you have your eyes on for the CEO position?
That's actually a good question.

What made you decide to take the blockchain route? The potential for anonymity?
Any thoughts on this?
interesting project, and it sounds so far like this is serious and not a joke or a scam! quick question- you're using monero & zcash for anonymity. I've heard them come up most of the time as being better than dash or any masternode-based coin. is that true? you have a real need for anonymity.. do you have a list of coins that meet your requirements, and ones that don't? and what do you think of deeponion, and tor-based coins? deeponion operates within the tor network, not even touching exit or entry nodes.. you could keep the payments fully on tor.
Yeah I have not heard good things about Dash and looking at their system, it is trust-based. ZCash has a lot of potential despite their founders saying strange refrains and their 20% fee. But at the moment it is too slow to be useful for many cases. And no mobile client for shielded transactions. If ZCash makes privacy mandatory they will be interesting.
Tor access is an important aspect. But it is only one side of it. Blockchain privacy is even more critical because it remains as a permanent record. DeepOnion seems to be a normal coin with no privacy features except it forces Tor.
they're adding deepsend, which (they claim) will make it one of the most anonymous coins out there. remains to be seen if that works out.
also, with the new ethereum hard fork, zksnarks can be used with ethereum. do you see ether as providing any kind of strong anonymity in the near future?

Is there any information on your team's infrastructure?
How many developers?
How many marketing people?
Do you have some escorts already signed up and ready to use the app upon release?
What would be a general strategy of marketing to clients?
Also, I'm still a bit concerned about the ID verifications and linking social media profiles to the app if you want to be a client. Maybe it's just me with the trust issues
I get it, the app isn't happening without it, just wondering what's the % of people that want to remain anonymous when doing this sort of stuff. Is there a study on this?

We won't get into details about team members due to opsec concerns, sorry! It is not our first rodeo.
Initial response from escorts has been very positive. Near end of November we will start actual sign ups.
Advertising to clients will take several forms. A big one will be referral fees from other clients and providers. As a hypothetical example, maybe we offer escorts $50 per booking through Pink. And for new clients, an additional $50, plus $50 to the client. That will ensure we get word of mouth quickly.
As far as ID, everyone would love to remain anonymous! And not just for escorting. I would like to buy my cable TV service anonymously :] I would like to buy groceries with my credit card anonymously. So you are totally correct that no one likes identifying themselves. At least Pink has a real reason for it.
What are a few of your favorite feature ideas you can think of that won't be in the initial launch?
Here is a fun one: Machine learning for profiles. Determine what physical aspects a client likes in addition to which kind of photos. For instance, pictures focusing on the chest, selfie-style. Then auto-optimize custom provider profiles for that user so evey provider puts her best, uhm, foot forward. This is a win for everybody. Providers get better sales. Clients find out that they really do like a certain provider, even when she would pick photos that do not necessarily do it for that client.
We are an extrajurisdictional company. If our opsec fails, then the core team will be prosecuted.
Interesting. So your whole team is okay with this fact? What kind of charges and penalties do you expect you would be facing?
Most of the team does not know each other. Principle people are very few. Most people are trustless contractors that have little to zero liability.
Will not comment on what penalties and charges. But I will say: Morality over legality. Laws we break are to benefit people only and we do not use our anonymity to go around committing crimes.

Good question.
I'm just now seeing the UI preview, that actually looks pretty good. Nice and intuitive. Lots of features is nice, but I'd wait and keep it simple until you have a larger user base.
You are correct. We are focusing on a simple flow for now. Everyone has their own 100 favorite ideas. We will slowly add the best ones.

Do you support transsexual workers? XD
BTW I still think it should be an ICO not IPO

Yes we will support all kind of people, but our focus at launch is cis hetero, female provider.
In practice ICO v IPO is the same for us. We use the term IPO to make it clear that we're selling equity in the company, not a pointless token. Nobody in the world wants to pay for things with service-specific tokens. Except the companies selling the tokens!
You would have to put a massive focus on avoiding charges of soliciting. If not, you are finished.
It is all in the wording used. Prostitution in many western countries in not illegal, only the soliciting bit is.
Get from A to B without looking like you are selling appointments for sex is the only way you can get this to appear legal.
Hard, but some brothels mange it.
We are an extrajurisdictional company. If our opsec fails, then the core team will be prosecuted. That is the entire idea of this company. Otherwise existing sites like SA could just fund an app like this on the sly, but they'd never be able to provide real customer service, instant booking or make money off the transactions.
In Canada, selling sex itself is legal, but everything around it is illegal. There's no legal way for our company to operate there.
Almost no one "manages" it. They operate illegally but at such a small scale no one cares (until they do).
Another one sex project... Which dividends you mean? We will receive % from each prostitutes? Like souteneur?
Remember, these are escorts!
Prostitutes get paid for sex, escorts get paid for their time and company.
