@jacqvon Tris is a social browser that allows you to chat with others searching or browsing the same website as you. The IKO is just a way to sell keywords on our platform to raise money to get us to the next level. We have sold many keywords and owning a keyword is like owning real estate on what we think is the future of social and future way of browsing the web.

@nicholastenhue so far the average went for between 1000 and 10k , because the downloads on the browser have not started, I assume once we have millions of downloads you would probably be bale to resell those keywords for much more, as the traffic will make those keywords very valuable, its like investing in bitcoin when its at 5 dollars. Some keywords we did not sell because its too early and will sell once the platform on IOS is released next month.

@mickc79 Hi Mick I can definitely appreciate that, please send us your offers to trisdotcom@gmail.com We added the CC because many were bypassing the contractual obligation of an offer, by selecting Bitcoin and making offers. This takes the keyword off the market from others and if they don't pay others lose the ability to buy that keyword while we are waiting for transaction ...so we asked for CC for validation purposes. We use Stripe and everything is secure, but we can definitely accept offers via email and payments can be made by wire or any payment methods.

@gmail @leoj why don’t you have a tris.com email address? Sorry but everything about this seems off to me. I’m out.

@gmail @leoj @mickc79 100% agree. Not to accuse of something sketch, but as a feedback point. These are things you need to do/fix to increase trust with new customers. Not having an email at the company domain is a huge red flag for me.

@gmail @leoj @mickc79 @itsthisjustin you can email info@tris.com or hello@tris.com but we use one gmail that the entire team has access to, so others can respond24 hours a day in shifts around the world ,I dont understand these jumping to conclusions and immediate negative assumptions, if you have a question, then ask, most cases there is a simple reason for everything. We also have some integrations with gmail and certain google apps that we use for our platform that makes it easier.

@gmail @leoj @mickc79 @tris @leojeremias that's the thing though...if you're not smart and savvy enough to know that Google Apps exists and would give you the same functionality with a branded domain, then why would I trust you with my credit card info? Or similarly you know it exists but you don't want to pay for it. What else aren't you paying for? Good security on your site? A staff you can trust, it goes on and on. Building trust is such a massive part of starting a business. If you're not investing in your business, then why should I?

@anguscorbin 1- please see above 2- right now it is first come first serve, if for some reason before we accept any offer two people bid we will create a private auction between the two offers 3- absolutely, in fact we hope one day to create a platform that you can also sell clicks if this becomes really popular so you would be like Google 4- you get a certificate, and you a contract signed with the keyword you purchased on it.

@ryanmcdonnell1 we received over 500 offer for keywords when we were featured on Product Hunt a year ago, but we could not ethically accept any money without providing real guaranteed value to keyword holders, we think at a minimum a million users is what it would take for the platform to have real value and traffic and that was our benchmark. We also did not want to have 1000 people daily asking us when we are live, when will they see traffic? We wanted one large investor instead of hundreds of little ones, so we continued to focus on the platform investing our own money as we are mostly self funded. With SXSW everything changes. SXSW finalists have raised 5.5 billion to date, 71% have received funding, we finally see a path forward to a million users as we estimate we would need a million dollars to reach one million users based on all the test campaigns we have done. In fact it would take even less money but we would need more staff to support it. With the SWSW in a month, we wanted to increase our odds of raising money, so this short term IKO can drive more revenue and we can stand up and show searches, traffic, traction , two apps, and REVENUE, this will increase our chances of raising money hopefully over 95%. So our plan now is only sell a few good keywords enough to make a statement.

@justinnevile Hi that is a good question, we are working on different industries but it will be based on demand

@jakecopeley Thanks for your comment...The issue with the extension was we needed so many users to be live at the same time, so we created the app and the browser so you can get a notification of messages left and respond at your own leisure, but the issue of empty rooms gets resolved with lots of users which gets resolved with funding which hopefully will soon be resolved. As far as the search widget once you install the extension just go to Google and search from Desktop its quite fun to see what others are searching.
