There are some elements in this that are different than a traditional 'chat' and webcam.
1. The girls will be paid hourly at the beginning, and this will be integrated into my current membership, and websites. So there is a set schedule for them to be on as they are paid upfront, and I recoup via cam and upgrade money. I can then advertise or promote accordingly.
2. I can see as the network expands to allow other webmasters, and remote access for girls to log in at any time, and make additional money, where scheduling can become problematic. However, in the beginning. It will be more tightly controlled since it is my models, and they are going to have to schedule time blocks.
3. Good looking out on the fraud control.
4. I am not familiar with the server set ups you mentioned, and I do not think PHAT has Windows servers. Which is where having someone that is techie comes in handy.

models do not follow schedules, they will jump all over the place and have no commitment to anything unless they're making $ and even then they work when they want
the chat piece (and #2) would probably take the longest but honestly that is most likely just going to be a flash frontend for a pretty standard core set of functionality (stream video, show text, record duration, join / part rooms)...
the billing api is straight forward if you have a solid gateway
fraud control should be a huge concern - check out maxmind.com, they offer a 'risk' assessment of users based on region, browser settings, proxies, etc.. saved us quite a bit 
use flash media server and install it on a windows machine - my experience showed that linux was not stable at all with their product... maybe they've fixed that but it was not stable at all until we moved to windows oddly enough
anyway, good luck to ya! |
