12. PROBLEM
People are afraid to trade, lack of trust in net.
Risk premiums drive users to aggregators.
SOLUTION
Trust mechanisms need to be separated from
marketplaces, provide a specialized service.
PRODUCT
We offer a service to collect transaction feedbackregardless of the marketplace.
More transactions, more feedback, more trust.

13. THE SIMPLE MAGIC
1. Handshake 2.Transaction 3. Feedback
Parties agree
about the
transaction they
are to do.Trust.
Money changes
hands, and we
have no part in
that.
After a while
we ask the
parties to rate
the transaction.
