Thanks Jez. What would be your recommendation to succeed?

Why do you think yours failed?

Police in certain areas come with a double edged sword,one minute they are there to help,the next minute they are busting you for some infraction they came across well helping you out. The law is usually the heavy for the government and once you cross the line you will feel the full force of that power. Having another option is a great way to reign in corrupt establishments.
Great idea,one hell of a investment though!

Thanks Smiley Very true. People think police is there to help but police is first and foremost there to 'keep order'. They work for the local ruler, not for you.

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.

I inherited money at young age. I focused on investing it well, did some good moves, some bad moves. My returns averaged 5% per year, but that is the same as the inflation rate, so my purchasing power did not go up since I started investing my inheritance 10 years ago, but I was able to live from it while not seeing my purchasing power go down, which is already a great achievement for an investor Smiley


Very good point about the app. I thought there was a high chance that bitcoin would be outlawed when I started investing in it at the end of 2012 around $10. But instead they allowed it to happen. Ofcourse bitcoin was decentralized from the start, which is likely the reason why no government agency started clamping down on it, as they did before with anyone setting up a competing currency.


I think an app like Cell 411 however has much lower chance to be clamped down on. To my knowledge, sometimes such apps or devices becomes 'illegal' to use, like cop alerting devices for in cars, but they never shut down the company producing it, right? 

Uber I think is a good example that very disruptive technologies that are even 'verboten' in certain states, don't need to be build as a decentralized app for them to become successful.

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  Smiley. 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.

Thanks Smiley I bought myself in ofcourse.

My portfolio was 80% crypto so I'm happy to diversify some into this promising startup.

This has got to be one of the stupidest ideas I have heard of this week.

If true, you just blew 300 BTC.

Sounds like an intersting app, however i am not sure i would use it.  it might be usefull for an elderly person or someone who is home bound.  that is a serious investment......

This app is an amazing idea... I don't have a clue on how a system like this doesn't simply come bundled with services like Friends from Apple and Android Device Manager. I guess this app fills in the blank spot. Downloading it now, definitely going to give it a try.

As for the funding, if it was in fact OP that gave them the coins, thank you, this is much needed and quite appreciated by the community and devs. And of course the founder was open to investment with crypto... He's pictured on the website with a Bitcoin t-shirt Tongue

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.

Instead of calling the police 911 you can use the app Cell 411 and be helped by your friends and other users.

The app is growing rapidly. I approached the founder and he was open to receive a financing in crypto.


Very proud:

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.  Roll Eyes

Thanks so much all for your support! Smiley

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.

Sign a message by the private key of the address from where u have sent 300 BTC. Till then u r just bluffing.

Still busy with the transaction, transfered 205 BTC.

Tomorrow I make the last btc payment which will bring the total on 300 BTC.
