Advertising is not the problem. The current ad system is to blame. A different ad model is needed. One that is built using privacy, choice and rewards. User data and activity is not collected. Users have the choice to engage or ignore. And,

Blocking ads in your browser is responsible behavior. It is the same as putting a lock on the door to your house. There are people in the world who will think nothing of taking advantage of you if it means they can put money in their pocket

The solution to Ads is to create an alternative. We call this an Offer and it differs in the following ways: User Choice Ads: no (platform decides) Offers: yes (user decides = opt-in) Privacy Ads: no privacy (your data belongs to them) Offe

Thank you for your comment. Would you prefer to be rated by an authoritative source using inputs that are closed and unknown? Or, would you rather have your peers provide a rating in an open and transparent manner? [I think] Crowdsourced op

Allow me to be more clear on my original response. When I used the word "influence" I should have instead stated "manipulate." I believe honesty and integrity is what people care about in a score or rating system. So, th

Sorry...we are experiencing 1st day server issues :-( Please give us another chance later today or tomorrow as we work to restore the services. Thank you for your patience.

Right...JavaScript is required at this time. Thx for you comment. We will post a notice on the landing page that JS is required. Also, can work on a non-JS version of the site.

Thank you for your thoughts/comments. We agree and are moving in the direction you indicated.

Not entirely the right person to answer this question, but we went with a .Net solution using SQL Server and React. We decided on the website first that would work OK on mobile devices. Faster and less cost to get into the market. Thanks to

Apologies. We experienced classic 1st day server crash. Working to restore services ASAP. Thank you for your interest and patience. -Ron

That is an accurate comment. Your SELLFF profile can help you to connect with new business opportunities, from which you can save and/or earn $$. It's a new/different alternative to the megacorp solutions that does not track

I do not agree that we are building a social credit system. There are some similarities to what is happening in China, but SELLFF is fundamentally different in almost every way. To anyone who is interested in comparing the differences, you

Thank you for your comments. We have similar thoughts it seems and both see the larger opportunity to provide value to professionals. Are you interested to discuss offline? Thx.

Valid point and I understand the concern. However [at least in the USA] we are all scored in many different ways. This includes: credit scores, insurance scores, criminal scores, employer/employee scores, education scores, etc. Yes, th

As designed, there is no direct way to influence the TRU Score in any meaningful way. A person could theoretically make 100's of trades every day and post dozens of messages, reviews, etc. This would have some impact on the TRU Score,

Hello...thanks for your comment. We seem to be experiencing issues with new account registrations and email confirmations. We are working to resolve now. Thank you for your interest in the service and your patience. -Ron

With all due respect, there are additional options to choose from. We are still very early in this, but I will "take the bait" since monetization seems to be an issue that people care about. A percentage of revenue is I think a fa

Agree, that the messaging can be improved. However, for now it's easier to state "zero cost" than to use "revenue sharing." Also, at this time, the service is zero cost. We are launching so that people might intera

Not sure if I understand the question entirely. There is no "short selling" allowed. Thus, the only shares you could sell are the shares you own. A group of people that might deliberately attempt to manipulate the system would be

by 4sellff 6y ago
Maybe a little harsh :-) At launch, all trades are 100% liquid and you are free to BUY/SELL as many shares within the limits indicated. Each trade moves the price up/down 0.01. I do not consider that to be necessarily worthless ho

Your comment indicates one option for monetizing the platform. For now, we do not see that as ideal. We are focused on ways to increase the value provided to the buyers and sellers [members] on the platform. To the degree the solution is wo

Thx for your comment. To be clear, the TRU Score is not limited to the trading of shares in your profile. It is an input, but not necessarily the one that weighs most heavily in the determination of a members TRU Score. SELLFF offers multip

Agree and working on correcting a bug which is only selecting the first three users of the service. At this point, I am not comfortable picking images of our members without permission. Once have the permissions in place, we will update pro

Agree and we are looking at options on doing just that. Do you think any existing platforms could work, or does something need to be purpose built? How would you architect a self-hosted, federated solution? I welcome your thoughts and sugge

We have tried to be very clear on how the TRU Score is determined [hover over the number and you will see a tooltip/modal that provides details]. Obviously, sharing the actual algorithm would most certainly allow people to game the sy

Currently, all expenses are paid from my personal savings and the day job. We are working on the next release which will offer two options [consult and promote] to monetize the service. As mentioned earlier, the focus is making it easier fo
