What is the feeling about running a second separate shadow project with a different name (same currency) to create a body shop:

From escort agencies, to paid for tinder like services, to web services that facilitate cheating, sex is probably just as a bigger market than selling herbs & spices.

Done right, it could turn into a business that could be floated on the NYSE: Shadowcoin, ringing the closing bell at that the NYSE? That's how to get a $5bn valuation in next to no time.

Each SDC would be worth $800, and the basic market is in place right now. The current SDC market is probably overkill for a body shop business model - most of the infrastructure for this service is based on confidential communications.

Between 120m to 250m people use these commercial online services on a daily basis.

Cheat, by Shadow (tm)

We would need a mobile wallet with NFC transfer capability or maybe bluetooth transfers. Which is best is debatable.

For a meat market?

To get started, you just need secure messaging, a place to put a picture / profile and a way for people to pay to subscribe or pay to view a profile.

Fancy mobile services would certainly add value, but to get going everything is basically in place.

Strippers and whores will be perhaps the most powerful Shadow application, because the providers can use their proceeds directly to buy their herbs and spices, which they are major consumers of.

For this to ever happen we need some big improvements in simplicity of use. I'd estimate the typical hobbyist has about a 20 point IQ advantage over the typical provider, and it's one of the reasons providers are afraid of the hobbyists. Crypto won't be accepted on a large scale in that industry unless the providers can be completely assured they're not being ripped off, and a wallet that's very easy and comfortable to use by a non-technical person on a phone is critical for that.

Better security and streamline look and usability are a must +1
