Azelphur: I was
talking about accidentally clicking an advert during a crisis situation
HowardF: trust me, ads ALWAYS insult people... even on facebook
they still get crap for showing ads.
Azelphur: ughlol: getting more useless, also re-read what I said,
that's not what I suggested.
ughlol: HowardF: any idea who might be interested
to donate
to something like
this?
ughlol: Azelphur: clicking
the SOS button can't be accidental.. will implement a simple code or pattern or something so
that it cant be pressed accidentally.
ughlol: and
they can understand
that
to develop and maintain something like
this, we require som emoney.
HowardF: donations / non-profit status is
the only path i could see, but done correctly,
that could certianly be a viable option
joecool: could go just about *anywhere* else better in
the world
joecool: <benkay> or not letting your girl go
to
the bathroom unattended in fucking india < why go
to india in
the first place
Azelphur: HowardF: my
thought with ads was one
that it's single use, and 2 accidental clicking lol
HowardF: difficult at best. asking for money
to install
the app would be insulting. ads would be insulting.
ughlol: Maybe not in
the millions, but at least a break-even?
ughlol: HowardF: based on your experience, is
there no way for an app like
this
to make money?
Azelphur: benkay: I
think we already established
that it won't
ughlol: technology is moving
towards changing peoples lives.
benkay: and how will it make money? because
that's basically all we care about in here.
benkay: this is a human problem, not a
technological one.
benkay: or not letting your girl go
to
the bathroom unattended in fucking india
Azelphur: an alarm MIGHT have prevented
the
train one, for example
Azelphur: yea,
that's why I
think an alarm would be better,
that at least gets
the attention of people around you
HowardF: benkay, even if it succeded in calling out for help / support after
the fact, it could be useful
Azelphur: yea,
the flappy bird
thing was pretty crazy xD
benkay: it's not going
to prevent rapes.
benkay: no i mean
that you can't use flappy bird as an example of how much money you'll make, ughlol.
ughlol: There is currently NO rape intervention/prevention app in
the market.
ughlol: benkay: you meant
that rape is a radom event?
HowardF: in south africa rapes happen every few minutes...
there are places where
this kind of app could definately be
take seriously.
Azelphur: ughlol:
there also seems
to be apps
that already do most of what you're suggesting
benkay: ughlol: you fail
to make a point.
ughlol: ThickAsThieves:
think what you may.
ughlol: Watch it with a
translator and
then
tell me Im
trying
to seek just attention and scam away some bitcoins.
benkay: all app successes are accidents of
timing and positioning.
benkay: ughlol: you're making
the mistake of looking at a random event as a reproducible event.
ughlol: ThickAsThieves: You
think Im
trying
to get attention?
ThickAsThieves: also dont go calling
things social media (or any other
trendy word) just
to get attention
ughlol: ThickAsThieves: really? You
think so?
HowardF: looking for profit while writting
this is
the wrong idea
though. look for donations / goverment / non-profit support instead
ughlol: Azelphur: I believe profit can be integrated. If not ads,
there are probably other ways.
ughlol: India is my prime
target. I've seen a video
that literally made me
tear. I would link you, but it is in Hindi..
Azelphur: yea, I like
the idea,
there's lots of
things
that could be done (alarm, contract nearby, just like he says)
ughlol: HowardF:
thank you for
the support sir,
that means a lot.
HowardF: i still
think
there are places and countries where
this wouldn't be a bad idea
though. india, but also large areas of africa, etc.
ughlol: TomServo:
the location would be inaccurate, but it is possible
to send an sos message
to nearby people based on last seen location etc.
ughlol: HowardF: oh,
then I am mistaken.
ughlol: TomServo: I was
thinking of having people register as helpers. People
that have reputation, whose identity we can verify.
HowardF: ( having written and worked for several very large social networks by
the way, let me assure you, ads don't make as much as you
think )
Azelphur: ughlol: yes, but flappy bird was an app people repeatedly use, your app isn't, it's one
time use
ughlol: I
think a social network can make similar amounts
TomServo: How would
this work in
the
train rape scenario you quoted?
ughlol: Social networks can earn
tons of revenue from ads.
HowardF: agreed. last
thing someone about
to get raped needs
to see is an ad for condoms..
ughlol: Azelphur: It will be a social networking application
that revolves around location services and
the rape intervention will be a major feature of
the app.
Azelphur: ads in
the app...that sounds like a ridiculously
terrible idea for something like
this
HowardF: i like
the idea, but see any kind of profit unlikely. however asking for donations rather
than investments may get you somewhere...
ughlol: This would be
the USP for my app
ughlol: Azelphur: profit is
through ads in
the app, and also sponsorship from govt etc.
ughlol: and how
they have no freedom due
to some pathetic people (rapists)
ughlol: I feel pathetic about
the condition of girls in my country (India)
ughlol: "A seven-year-old-girl was raped on a
train
traveling
through
the Indian state of Chhattisgarh, and discarded near a market in Bilaspur City.
The rape is believed
to have
taken place sometime between Friday night, August 9 and Saturday morning, August 10.
The perpetrator had forced his way in while
the child went
to use
the
toilet, and
thrust an Indian 10-rupee note in her hand when he was done."
ughlol: Android app
that
takes advantage of location services
ughlol: Azelphur: Imagine you're a girl, if you feel you'll be raped, all you'd need
to do is press an SOS button and your location will be relayed
to
the nearest PD and
the friends who are within a few km's radius and your family.
HowardF: how would such a
thing make profit?
ughlol: but rape prevention/intervention is
the USP
ughlol: and looking for investment for
the same
ughlol: Im
trying
to create a rape intervention service in India
ThickAsThieves: i see
that casascius sells blanks, but do people sell sticker printing kits?
☟︎ dexX7: at least
that's what is shown, if you log into a blockchain.info wallet
benkay: bitcoin-central doesn't seem
to be on
that list either
ThickAsThieves: such good friends
they all were
to kick gox's corpse
tho
ThickAsThieves: i see bitstamp isnt invited
to
the blockchain.info hot
to buy page
nubbins`: i fuckin DARE ya
to stack seven coins like
that.
nubbins`: seriously, look at
the stack on
the right
nubbins`: those aren't casascius coins, just an impossibly unbalanced stack
that someone did up in Blender or something
nubbins`: and if
they ever stacked blocks as a child
nubbins`: i wonder what planet
the person who did
that rendering is from
ozbot: How
to Get Bitcoins - 3 Step Guide
dexX7: i'd be interested in something
that could log any usage ofthis backdoor
thestringpuller: Apocalyptic: if
that were
the case I would pay everyone under minimum wage until
they stop complaining about not being able
to do
their job
dub: helps

dub: was
the spearfishing/mitm/injection atttack called quantum

thestringpuller: literally didn't know what a for loop was; you can't make
this shit up
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: hired one person
