Get in touch with this guys https://goo.gl/EUZM5k. I met them on a UK tech event few weeks back. Amazing bunch of guys who are able, willing and capable. The project has a clear demonstration of huge impact to low income Universal Credit claimants in the UK (the people receiving the service, benefiting from the product) and appear to be in need of support.

The UK Universal Credit benefit system is terrible: thousands of people in the UK could be left penniless this Christmas, all because of an admin error with the Universal Credit benefit system. It could mean families up and down the UK going without the money they need to pay their rent or buy food – let alone celebrate Christmas.

The government is already under pressure to fix this fast. It’s splashed all over the news. That’s where the startup comes in to reduce this pain and make sure families on low incomes get what they need before Christmas comes round (rather than politicians just moan – which I hate but won’t help lessen the pain for people tomorrow).

Dmitry, I think this feasible. In terms of real value, I think it will create a positive aspect in the financial structure of strip clubs and exotic dancers operate their business in a way that is relevant to today's use of technology i.e. automation and trust. And a fun idea for ALL OF US to work on

Guys, here is one niche idea that has been brewing in my head for sometime now. I was a part time bouncer for a strip club in London, Uk years ago and always been interested in the economics and profit dynamics of the profession. So please bear in mind when reading this, is nothing to do with the social and anthropological side of things. There are tons of inefficiencies in the strip club industry. It cost money to handle money. Strip clubs would allow the dancers to handle all the money they made throughout the entire shift, then have a wait-staff style pay-out at the end of the night where they would tally up the dances and add up all the money the exotic dancer owe the strip club “house.” The dances are tracked by either the strip club DJ or the house mum. This, of course, could accumulate to hundreds of pounds which the exotic dancer had been managing all night long. After split with the strip club, earnings are further depleted. Tips in the industry is standard. It's customary to tip strip club DJ & house mum i.e. £1 a dance. There is an opportunity to introduce a payment service using blockchain technology leveraging smart contracts to govern the core financial side of strip club where the exotic dancer is the only one who needs a smartphone and an app. The client chooses what service he wants and pays accordingly, still in cash, but in a more controlled manner.

All thoughts gratefully welcomed....
