Hi Zack,
I like your directory layout, I think it looks very nice and you can see the listings very clear. What I think you should also add is a 'See all' link (where applicable) below each category and make an individual page for each and add more resources. By the way, I am doing blockchain development and on the side I also created a directory myself, mostly to recommend resources to my clients. My approach is a bit different, I added resources into category pages where users can directly vote for projects and the projects are displayed hierarchically by the number of votes received.
The website is just a wordpress theme at the moment, haven't improved the design yet, I also have a blog where I write some articles from time to time. Here is the link:

I am curious what you think, (well any feedback would be appreciated as well.)
Regards,
Liviu
Topic: Creating a curated crypto directory website (Read 386 times)
Feels like I was transported back to 2003 where directories are still very in and that website owners are paying to get listed to directories. There isn't a way to monetize this already. A blog would be more profitable.
Why do you write this? Currently our "currency" is mostly unregulated. No one pays taxes, people fudge numbers and lie, contractors lie about their experience, etc etc.
There are ways to monetize this.
I think he points that directory website as a business are no longer profitable because they have no ranking power as before. no matter what niche they come from.
But yes, paid listing can not be default monetizing option. there are always other ways.

Hi, guys! My name is Lera, I want to recommend you a great site - Events.Byzantium (https://events.bzntm.com/) . It is the first tracking platform of all blockchain events worldwide with individual discounts on them for our users. We help you to find a conference or a meetup you are genuinely interested in.
I didn't see anything inside your site but this is a cool idea. You know telegram are widely use in crypto so maybe a bot that will send a PM to a user when there is an event nearby.

Why not make Nexo as an affiliate link? You have that "most popular" mark on there. You can get affiliate link by signing to the mobile app. Yeah, I didn't know they had a affiliate program either until I emailed them and they said it's only showing on the mobile app. Look on the bottom of cryptozink.io and you will see "crypto loans / earn interest" as proof.
Hey Zack

Where is the Bitcoin Whitepaper? I think this is very important and you should add it ASAP.
You should also add more crypto gambling related websites, you can go on this board and check what and where crypto gamblers are playing at: (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=56.0)
Also I don't see any crypto mixer? You can find everything here (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/2023-list-bitcoin-mixers-bitcoin-tumblers-websites-2827109).

Good points! Thank you Kemarit.
I thought crypto mixers wouldn't interest new crypto folks but I guess it doesn't hurt having them listed as well...

True, crypto mixers will be a good addition.
Why not add a feature wherein users can submit links to you for addition? And then you can review it and add them if needed?
What about adding links to crypto terms? (https://cryptominded.com/glossary-cryptocurrency-terms-need-know/). Like what HODL means? or FOMO or FUD? TA?
The content is great overall, there's not much to add, I guess the only thing you can do now is to try and monetize it, and make it more mobile-friendly, it does it's job, but feels a bit clunky on mobile.

The feature idea might be interesting.
As for terms (and information...). First I want to complete a decent linking-directory and later on add an "Articles" section where we "educate" newbies on terms like the ones you mentioned and other crypto related topics.
But as I said, in article-form, not just links. That's better, no?
Cheers!
It's your call mate. I will just link you to ((https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/cryptocurrency-lingoslang-3250658) specially about terms and lingo. May I also suggest that you go around the forum, specially this boards Meta and Beginners & Help. Maybe you can pick some idea to what to put in your project.
Any tips?
When the sites with the best ref links get top spots it can never be a good index.
Try to make the index objective and put the advertisement in some fixed. areas
You mean the list @ Hardware Wallets?
Ledger and Trezor are the most bought and popular hardware wallets on the market... Or am I misreading your message?
As for the ad, I only have the right-side banner area which is fixed. Or do you see any other ads from your side?
Cheers!

On the exchanges, you should have a description of there services like margin trading, future, spot trading, option and those who offer crypto to fiat and vice-versa.
Hi! I think it is nice idea, but the content seems to be very poor. I'm not big professional, but the links on your site are not structured (mining platforms, then crypto loans, casinos, crypto documents... - all are near each other), and seem to be that you just put on the site some links you could google or you are familiar with.
The idea is to have a curated directory, so I try to have only quality links, not all links
You also call the site as crypto directory, but there is no link to the wallet MEW for example which is very popular for ETH. If your content is mainly about bitcoin, so it is better to change the site name to Bitcoin directory.
That's a good point, it is a crypto directory indeed, but as I mentioned before, a lot of links have to be added. This is not the end result, also the main page shows 5 (top) links per category, underneath it will come a "show more" button that takes you to that specific subject's page where you find a more complete list.And as for structured design - try not to put all the information on the page, but make some structured content: Main groups, subgroups, links, etc. For example you can put all the wallets to one group, and there make subgroups - hardware, desktop, mobile, etc.
I understand your idea, which is good, but I had this idea that newbies could use it as an easy go to page with as less clicks needed on the homepage as possible.The idea is very good. Thank you!

You can add a category for Hosting & Domain registration services accepting crypto as payment. Namecheap.com and so on.
Also you can add VPN providers accepting crypto as payment. Tunnelbear etc.
Add Revolut.com and Spectrocoin to crypto debit cards.

I was thinking about this too. It would be practical if users could instantly see some type of small description, without overwhelming the simple look and feel of the website. I'll check if I can make this mobile-friendly.
You could probably add a click section to replace the hover function on the mobile page. The details of the website would appear when the user click it. It's a bit tricky but that's required as iirc the hover function is not supported on most mobile devices.
Additional details you could read:

- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22559756/changing-hover-to-touch-click-for-mobile-devices/22560108
The website looks nice and is quite approachable, I don't really see any major issues.
Maybe you should add a couple of categories though: crypto news and crypto hedge funds.
You might also want to add derivatives platforms, separate from trading platforms.
