HN is a good place for finding enthusiasts. I am definitely intrigued, but I'll have to pass unless I can bound some sort of output value. This is especially problematic as it is a spy game, and by nature, secretive so you'll need an even bigger effort to sell. To gauge any sort of confidence, I work with whatever information I have:
1. Service's description
2. captaincrunch's karma, previous posts and his blog
3. Post address (maybe even street view if I want to be presumptuous)
EDIT: I noticed the post address was removed from the description.
Just in terms of opportunity cost, there is too much uncertainty to commit and I'll let my $5 accrue some interest or buy something else.
No one ever sold anything to me (and maybe others) with mystery and exclusivity alone without any word-of-mouth or any feedback/context. The value in exclusivity comes from associated prestige. The value in mystery comes from curiosity or expectations of the potential of the service. Prestige or exclusivity isn't the point of the service (it is probably done for thematic reasons), so I don't care about that, but I'd like more expectations of what the mystery entails. I do not think this is too unreasonable.
