Anyone else seen this concept? I saw it in another thread. Basically from what the website says:
>Shakedown0x is a decentralized, Ethereum based platform for sleuthing and coercion missions. >Welcome to the future of research, publication, and aggressive coercion.
>Shakedown0x is a decentralized, democratic platform built with the purpose of revealing sensitive information, interacting with others seeking a common goal, and coercing action. We intend to allow users to streamline the release of documents, media, conversations, and any other valuable sensitive information. The platform will serve as an intermediary between confidential information and the general public.
It seems like they're going for a gangstalking/blackmail platform...if i understand correctly it goes:
>target is acquired by shakedown commander >details are uploaded to an anonymous oracle >commander posts a wager to shakedown the target >users buy into contract to see information >shakedown commences (like--harassment or blackmail?) >target buys out contract and divs are spread to commander any players or contract expires and players recieve the commander wager
either way it looks like it could be big, the contract is verified and they're getting token buys
I saw this in the other thread as well. I think this could have potential and cause a lot of controversy which is a bit refreshing if this delivers.

Not sure about this yet. Looks different though.

>gangstalking I have literally never heard of gangstalking until today. This is really fucking weird shit and I went down the rabbit hole but yeah what the fuck.
Sebastian Gray
yeah im imagining basically like a fomo3d thing but instead of keys its a random target.
>you hate your neighbor >post a shakedown with a payout of 1m shake tokens (10,000$) >upload his data to oracle >make this assholes life a living hell digitally and in person until he (or a sympathizer) pays 4x the contract price >everyone wins
anyone can be a target
Camden Lewis
Or, this could be written as a smart contract, and use ETH, without your faggy token. Get your cyberpunk straight pajeet.
Yeah monetizing stalking and harassing people seems like the fucking actual worst shit ever.
Jeremiah Powell
i dunno, with all the pedo hunts and shady shit that goes on in the world, this could actually take off
Jeremiah Brown
But there hasn't been anything fucking cool like this before.
Andrew James
If you do something cool you do it right not with some shitty ICO for a contract+website an amateur can write in a few days also using fucking eth where there's no easy way to send transactions through TOR basically enjoy getting literally raided
Henry Morales
>An oracle is defined as an on demand data-fetching platform for smart contracts.
>To access a Shakedown0x Oracle, the following function is implemented to view the data:
On Ethereum, on-chain data storage comes with a high cost: It costs 20k gas for each additional 32 bytes of storage taken, which at current gas price rate is around $.003. Each instruction of a smart contract carries a gas cost. The sum of all the gas costs cannot be more than the current block gas limit. Having long encrypted queries in a smart contract will eat up the available gas during contract deployment, reducing the number of instructions the contract can execute for other useful things.
The Shakedown0x contract sends its query parameters to Oraclize as the data payload (hex encoded) of an Ethereum transaction.
Dominic Sanchez
I mean its a game but I see your point.

Reverse image-searched other team members, they're either not found or in the case of "Elijah Brennan" used in other fake profiles. Only one with a LinkedIn seems to be the creator with zero endorsements on any claims of employment. It's definitely either a satirical project, or even more likely, a scam like most dubious ICOs are. For those of you who are still interested in offering incentives for coercion and threats of violence, consider the following:
The fuck does that matter? Not everything needs its own token. This is why utility tokens like BAT and FUN are fucking retarded and will tend towards 0 value.
Xavier Russell
lol dude you really think the people behind this would just come out and say "hey this is my photo?"
this shit is gonna make waves
Juan Nguyen
>blackmail organizations & people into giving you money >it's just a game bro
I'll be honest, I like the concept of this, but the ICO part is just a money siphoning scam. And before this is done, there needs to be a relatively simple way of sending "untraceable" ethereum transactions.
Juan Mitchell
It doesn't but I feel like it matters to you cause you didn't come up with the idea lol.
Liam Stewart
This is a test of human gullibility user. The whole economy is, but I think the success of this exit scam is really going to demonstrate the most extreme elements of this.
I'm going to add "addresses of token buyers actually tied to dox" to the bingo card if this isn't an outright exit scam but some sort of art project or government sting. This plays right into Brad Sherman's arguments too; it's a perfect false flag opportunity if enough of you faggots take the bait. If a Brad Sherman staffer is reading this, we're onto you.
can't hear a fucking thing because the music is too loud
Daniel Smith
at least the music is cool
Caleb Martin
This could potentially be illegal. It looks like a psyop to be honest.
Connor Jones
a few problems.... 1 its highly illegal, and would offend the sensibilities of most people (including myself) so that means no exchange would list it. Meaning you'd be stuck with small liquidity on DEX. only the most deranged would want to participate, and deranged people normally don't have that much money. and when they do, they're like Soros and don't need a shitty erc20 token to get their evil deeds done
1 sat valuation would be generous
Carson Gray
i don't think it's that illegal..besides how could they prosecute a gang of users on the blockchain? the power of this is massive. imagine you want to know the earnings report for amazon before the release...post a shakedown and a price and you could possibly find out before anyone else...granted this is a bit far fetched but for smaller informational gains it could be massive
Jace Myers
it's a game token.
I mean people commit felonies unknowingly everyday.
