Inspiration

The inspiration for this project comes from seeing the rampant exploitation of sex workers online and the never-ending attacks on their rights with regard to free speech and freedom of expression. They face constant threats of censorship by way of de-platforming and shortsighted government regulations. When they do finally find a platform, it's generally with a company that takes a disproportionately high amount of their money simply for providing dumb infrastructure on which they are allowed to operate. These companies act as modern day pimps. Cointoys aims to be a much needed first step in giving online sex workers the tools they need to fire their pimps and ignore the haters.

What it does

The flagship product is a vibrating sex toy that reacts to Bitcoin Cash payments as well as a companion website. The toy connects to your local wifi network and allows you to configure it using your web browser. The user is able to register payment addresses which the toy will react to. When a payment is sent to one of the user's registered addresses, the toy will react in real-time by vibrating with a duration and intensity proportional to the payment amount.

Previous work built upon

A few years ago, Nicholas built a circuit capable of watching for transactions on the BCH blockchain. Some amount of that circuit will be repurposed and built upon. We will also be using one or more of the well known open source javascript libraries available for Bitcoin Cash.
