Thanks for upvoting our product. There are 3 of us, and we just launched. Very exciting to see people using it. We are definitely pushing the envelope on data and privacy. Our view is that the creator of data should be the chief beneficiary of its value. This version of the product is just our first baby step toward that end goal. Would be great to hear everyone's feedback.

@matthewphogan What's the current payout range look like? It's hard for me to weigh the value of giving you my data before knowing what the potential return. Are we talking $1/mo? $10? $100?

@matthewphogan I have a service, my user collect data about themselves, can they sell it on your service?

Almost all social media is free to use because you pay with privacy as a currency. By offering your data for a fee, the value traditionally captured by companies gets transferred directly to your bank account. This is empowering.

I've signed up to Datacoup back when they were in beta. I only connected accounts where my data was public anyway such as Twitter. Figured the small amount of money I get from this can go towards renewing a domain I own. Perhaps @matthewphogan will chime in with more details on his plans for Datacoup.

I love this concept and it's something I wish I'd done. I think it's an interesting spin on privacy and personal data. Datacoup could cause a huge disruption in the space here.

hi @yahel. To get the marketplace started, we currently pay up to $10/month for data. Datacoup is paying out of company coffers. As we grow the buyer side of the market place, demand will dictate what people are willing to pay. Also, it's likely that compensation back to data sellers is not only cash, but also products, offers, discounts, etc. We have several interested partners who are lining up to compensate data sellers in non-cash form. Please remember that the way we sell data is in anonymous, aggregated form (unless a seller tells us otherwise).

wow. Very interesting and different concept. I wonder how many people will be open to this approach. This certainly wont be allowed in Germany! I might be interested as a customer though; I'm going to check it out.

@areuent, We are not set up for that yet, but we should be adding an API in the next 6-12 months to accommodate individuals bringing different data sources to the table.
