founder Reuben Coppa chats to Proactive's Andrew Scott about how the idea for the service came about and the growing need for trust and better payment methods within the adult entertainment industry.

Launching their ICO next year, it's a service offering Intimate 'tokens' which will be based on the ERC 20 ethereum protocol.

''The adult industry has major issues with trust and payment'', Coppa says.

''It's very difficult to get banks to process credit cards''.

''Blockchain technology in this case is beautiful ... they can transact anonymously, can maintain payments and can interact in a much safer manner''.

''Intimate is the culmination of Rendevu [Coppa's on-demand escort application] and four years exposure to cryptocurrency''.
