@anna_0x Hi Anna! That's a good question. There are several reasons why we think it won't be happening at a large scale, but we will be developing product as we grow make sure that both interests of experts and paying users are met. Below is our thinking on the topic. 1. We have a simple spam protection - if expert sends 3 messages in a row without a reply from the client all the following messages are free until the client responds. 2. Experts wouldn't want to shoot themselves in the foot by trying to extract more money in the short term at the expense of losing the client for the long term. Our current thinking is that we expect most of the communication in our app to be between experts and users on ongoing basis (i.e. for weeks, months) rather than one-off communications. 3. There is an option to send free messages by the expert and specially priced messages. Each specially priced message needs to be accepted by the paying user. A typical scenario we foresee is user asking a question, expert replies how much the response for such a question would be in a free or low priced message and if a user agrees then sends a specially priced message. 4. There is no discovery of experts in our app, so as a paying user you will talk with experts that you have developed trust already through other social networks or in person. We think that will reduce the risk of having experts that will practice bad value extracting behaviours from their clients. Curious to hear your thoughts on this, thank you in advance!

@vikas_sharma14 Hi Vikas, thanks for the question! So for example you know flutter (btw our app is made in flutter!:) and maybe I have a specific question about how to do something in flutter that I haven't managed to find an answer otherwise. I ask for your advice and I will pay you for the messages with your advice that you send to me. Since there is no discovery of experts within the app I need to have trust in your expertise before I want to chat to you (either from social networks, or maybe someone recommends you). In terms of payments more specifically. The paying user tops up their account and payments to the earning user (expert) are deducted from that balance. As an earning user you can than withdraw earnings to your bank account.
