2. Which industry?
3. Market saturation? competitors?

### Pricing:
Pricing: subscription? ad revenue? etc?

## Ideas to avoid

8.

## Ideas

### Professional non-adult industry Onlyfans (B2C)

* people can sign on and create a profile
* upload mainly videos (pictures? why not)
* Define which content is public (free) or private (paid)
* Set a monthly subscription (1/3/6 month, year) that user defines
* They can buy and set a domain name for their profile
* Feature: no search tool

Who are our competitors?
What do they do differently?
What is their business model?
What is their scope?

### Steam for Cheats

- Cheat Dev: Uploads the cheat
- We:
- Protect the binary

Market it as an alternative Steam:
- They can't just ban you for playing other games

Selling points:
- Security
- Organization

Storage in the decentralized system:
- We are not holding the data
- It could be **any** binary
- Encrypted, we can't really see what they bought

Features:
- We handle the payment (Stripe, Crypto)

Steps:
- Find programmers who put the cheats on our platform
- We'll handle clients for you
- Once we have enough cheats

Commissions:
10%? 20%?

What happens if people get banned using your program?
- We tested it for all the

Verified cheats: They don't seem currently do be detected.
Unverified:

-> Show statistics, People get banned and immediately show it
- How many people are using
- When was the last banned
- How long were they using it until they got banned
- People can say if they think this cheat is good or not

Grade: How well is it integrated? Subtle? Aim assist vs aimbot?

Make an api so that developers can use it.

Problem: That the bypass is not protected. -> They can always find it if someone is really motivated
-> Make it annoying enough so that someone will give up

Recommend certain things:
- Protect it themselves

Store the binary on the server:

Questions:
- How many users they have? paid users? (not mvp) gift?
- do friends use it for free?
- What is the average (roughly) time it takes for their cheat to get detected/banned?
- What business model do they prefer? One time payment? Subscription?
- month/week/day = recurring
- lifetime = one time (6 months)
- Do they want a limit on the number of currently subscribed users (to avoid having their cheat exposed)?
- Automatically sell again when available
- Are there specific payment platforms they do not want to use? (Paypal because of refunds)?
- Do they accept to refund the customer?
- Is it within a limited time (so not after like 2 years the customer comes back)
- [Who cares about the customer right?] Do they have / propose / want warranttee (will work for the next 2 weeks guaranteed money back)?
- Worried that anti-cheats will find out and that their clients will be banned
- Have you ever updated a cheat after it got banned and got it to work again? If yes, how?
- How do you handle people that got banned?
- Do you provide a disclaimer? (i.e.: use at your own risk)
- Do you blacklist people from your service?
- Do you whitelsit people from your service?

Vendor lockin:
- Free for the first N users
- "Beta testers" -> deals, recruit more people

Queue for people who are looking to buy -> adds a sense of urgency
FOMO

i18n -> Chinese translations

Attack Vector/Threat Matrix:
- Bitcoin Transactions tracked to personal account
- Tor Server Ip leaked
- Pay Server with Crypto
- Offshore Server

Steam for Cheats:
- Website (on tor)

Market it as 100% anonymous -> Servers are hidden
- Buys and sellers

DDOS
- TODO

Unhook *: Implement chrome extensions for all the applications to remove distractions
- Everyone wants to quit (insert online activity) but they can't because it's so easy to access.
- Solution: Implement these extensions that remove the distractions
- Advertisements: All the self-help/productivity influencers (YT, ...)
- Free + Premium
- Free: Remove recommended and show ad
- Adblocker doesn't work inside the extension

Obfuscating as a Service

Timepool (deadpool)

Take multiple different calendars in input (from different sources .calendar/google/apple)

You say you want a meeting "in the morning"

and the system will propose a list of dates that fit in with all the inputted calendars.

You can even exclude certain time ranges

---

Darknet Marketplace

Setup once:
- Only send crypto to wallet
- No Updates
- All keys deleted, We can't access it

New moderators every months:
- Moderators can decide what the platform should

Questions:
- Is creating a marketplace evil?
- Is an auto-regulating marketplace evil?
- Who is responsible for the user generated content?
- How do you make a marketplace that doesn't push for the clearly illegal stuff?

Incentive: Do they regulatite it for free? Yes.
What if it's 100% pure democrazy?
- 12 hours = enough time for people to decide if it's good or bad
- If the majority say it's bad, it'll be automatically taken down.
- => Create an incentive to downvote illegal stuff

Every month: Everything on the website would be deleted (except accounts, reviews). Only the products that have been sold.

FBI POV:
- Create fake accounts
- Try to own the democrazy and delete things

How to prevent it:
- Make it take a long time to create an account.
- Make it complicated to sign up.
- It shouldn't be able to be automated.
- Once signed up, go through some reputation system.

How do you trust someone to vote? How do you ensure that the people who are voting are actually real people who want the website to improve.

=> Democrazy is probably not the best idea.

When it fails, it resets everything. New onion. New server.

## Design Updates via Chrome Extensions

Users can request an updated design.
Update the design and inject an ad.

Target groups:
- Medium/Small audiences
- Doesn't receive a lot of visual updates.
- Could use some extra design.
- Have a social aspect to them:
- Directly on the website
- Reddit community
- Community on another website
- => People can share the extension on these communities

We shoot for websites that are **not mobile friendly**.
- Is there a way to get it working on mobile?

Problem:
- **A lot of work**
- Doesn't work on mobile

**Alternative: Build mobile applications for Websites**

(If there doesn't exist one yet)

Features:
- Vote system to pick what to develop next
- Only develop what is most beneficial for us

## Organization Visualizer

Problem: No-one knows how everything is connected.
- Analyse what's happening.
- Most of these companies already use Jenkins, Kubernetes, Docker, ...
- Super easy to find the instances, names, count, how many there are running, Metrics
- ALready code and data being returned to a database (metrics, urls being called)
- Data is already there
- Idea: Use the data and use three.js and visualize it
- Thicker lines between microservices
- Better comprehension of your architecture. In a big company, no-one knows how everyting works. Especially for old companies. Old people are gone. No-one knows what is communication with what.
- Visually see it, rather than reading it in a really old document.
- Graphite, Grafana, Elasticsearch, Kubernetes, Jenkins, ...
- API which allows them to create their own libraries to send the data to our API
- You don't know which microservice is sending requests to other services. You would need some kind of connector/library to know which MS is sending what to another MS.
- TraceId => Id that goes from one MS to another one. It's specific to a single request. Using the timestamp you can see which/when/the order it touched MS.

- Real Time: See which MS is bombarded with connections. Show the results of the last week/year/<range> (Visually). They can find out when they use Grafana but it's not the same because you don't have the big picture.

## Data Visualization

- Companies have a lot of data so they hire expensive exports so that it makes sense
- Hard to do automatically
- Excel Sheets/CSV -> make sense out of it, find insights
- They can show of the data to their clients

---

The big problems of companies:
- Visulation: Extremely difficult to visualize what is connected to what. Not how or why, just to see how or what things are connected with each other. Batches, Cloud functions how and when they run. What is connected to the database?
- Working on the back office: There isn't really a nice solution in Node.js that provides you with a template of a back-office that allows you to quickly develop features that you need. Every startup company has to hire designers and developers to build the back-office again. They have to maintain everything. Somewhere some of these projects are not getting a lot of attention. **It's really tiresome**. Time is money. If there's an easy solution for a backend that works: Back-office with integrations. Integrations with Discord, Slack, Intercom, ....
