Founder here...open to any questions you might have. Thx.

Hello HN, Excited to share something we’ve been working on: a new way to connect buyers and sellers that flips the traditional ad model used by Google and Meta. We call it Offers. …

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 no…

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 adv…

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-…

We are building a new, direct-to-consumer advertising system called Sellff Offers. While similar in some respects to the ad services from the tech giants, this solution is unique i…

Looking for collaborators to help build the future of digital advertising. Working on a solution that offers benefits to sellers of products/services, while buyers can choose which…

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 …

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 a…

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 dev…

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 t…

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…

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, e…

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, revie…

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 interes…

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 c…

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 lau…

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 delib…

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 d…

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…
