Bitcoin = Financial freedom
Crypto is not available for free so how can you give free cryptos?

So people who have enough knowledge will find this site as scam attempt and leave.

You are also not allowed to promote ponzi if you will you will get red tags.

Your intent look too suspicious, you want to offer free service, you want to pay people and you want to raise money. They are all seems confussing. Apart from that, you are not specific on the type of service you want to render and the use cases. Who are your competitors in the crypto space and what are you offering differently that will attract the attention of building that trust in you. Many questions to answer

Hi there! I own the domain havesomeco.in, and I am working on developing it into a full fledged free cryptocurrency site. I plan to have over 5 different free cryptocurrencies offered, and you'll obtain them through various means.

My question is, and maybe someone has more experience like with an ICO or something similar to my service, how do I gain user's trust? I KNOW I would pay people, but they don't necessarily know that. There are so many sketchy sites out there, and I don't want to appear sketchy because I'm trying to offer a legitimate service.

Another thing - how can I raise money to help put toward development of the site? Preferably in blockchain contributions, but that, again, seems suspicious - I could just run off with the money for all people know.

Thank you.

To start with don't go for ICO you can ask for donations but don't do ICO because there are already similar sites that offer the same thing and they did it out of their pocket, checking on your site, some important things are missing like your site is showing, not secured and there's really no content showing, I don't know if is just me.

It seems you want to develop a GPT site and you will pay with 5 different cryptos. Keep working until your site is completely ready to launch. However, imo your domain is not attractive, maybe you want to change it.

"Trust" is a thing to earn and it is only possible to earn over the time. You just need to be honest and keep providing the service as you have offered. When your users will see this they will stick with your project because they started to trust you and your project. You need to promote your project and need a budget for it.

First of all, for such startup project investors won't show interest.
Secondly, you are a newbie and most probably created the account just to create this thread. Investors from this forum never trust a newbie.

Above all, an entrepreneur of a GPT project should have the ability to launch the project by himself only. Or you may ask your friends & family to backup your project.

Gaining trust isn't something that happens easily and what kind of trust do you want to gain? Do you want to be leader on local segment or worldwide and be opponent of bittrex and other exchangers? Then you need a lot of money.
Creating and supporting of charity programs, active campaigns, meeting with students and etc helps every business to gain some trust, also as time goes and you stay on market with high quality product (in this situation exchange), high security, fast and affordable service, low fees and etc is all that helps you to gain trust. As time goes and everything is fine, your trust strenghtens and grows.

It is not easy to gain user's trust because it will need more effort to hard work. But maybe freebitco.in could be the best example for you to start. You can create a unique website related to cryptocurrency, try to explore by visiting more websites including faucet website, gambling website, or cryptocurrency technology website which you can find hundreds in Google.

If the website is not unique, I think people won't stay too long in your site, and they will move to the next website. People want to search what they want, and you need to check on Google Trend to find out. It is a long journey to create a good website with a lot of visitors daily, and you will need time to make it happen (if you are very serious with your project).

Freebitco.in gained people's trust by simply paying them on time and doing this for years. When faucets was very popular, some faucets gave huge amounts of Satoshi per hour, but they introduced huge withdrawal limits.

Back then, faucets sites gained income from Ads and high traffic gave huge returns for these faucet owners. Then Ad companies stopped paying for faucet traffic and Freebitco.in were forced to change to a gambling site, to retain it's users and to be in a position to fund their faucet.  Wink

Tip : Look at the Freebitco.in track record and business model and follow their example.  Wink

I am alive but in hibernation.

I will not be running a ponzi scheme. I am running something similar to freebitco.in and Cointiply, users will complete tasks or view ads and receive "pieces" of cryptocurrency. They will also be able to roll, multiply, and earn interest on any balance that is in their account (meaning you could deposit a balance and earn interest on it like a bank account!) I plan to offer some sort of game, too, that would allow them to earn cryptocurrency.


I do not know how profitable is faucet business is. Freebitco is more of gambling site and cointiply is more of PTC site. Comparing both in one go is not correct. Why do you think user will come to your site when there are already established site?
I think, first try to come up with something innovative and fix your model and plan and start developing.

In above statement of yours I think you are mixing gaming,gambling and PTC and I do not know in next post if you come with +Exchange and +forum ideas too.

You all have given me very valuable input! Right now the site is purposefully white, I only have the domain name for now. I am working on developing the site on a different droplet.

My ideas aren't new, but I want to offer more than just Bitcoin. I want to offer Ethereum, Litecoin, Monero, Dogecoin, all as options of cryptocurrency that can be obtained for free or by depositing your own cryptocurrency and gambling with it.

Get to make solid reviews of projects and ICOs, then expose scammers, should your analysis always come true, you become a voice in this space. On the issue of raising fund to develop the website, you may appeal for fund at the end of each successful post or articles on your site. If someone is blessed by your article they may part something in other to sustain the project. You ensure you don't give a pass mark to some fake team, it's deadly and a bad way to leave in shame.

The one thing i can think of at start would be to make some little bounty lets say with 3-5 ETH . Thats not a big amount of money . Lets say create a twitter , facebook page for your website , keep it active . Make a twitter / facebook . Like / share / retweet bounty for lets say max 200-250 people . After you will payout the bounty pool , you will get some  trust and probably some traffic to website . Its not guarantee , but i would give it a try

Honestly, you just have to make your website look trustworthy and people will automatically try it out.
I know it might be somewhat stupid advice, but you just get the ball rolling and by paying out those first users, others will also try it out.

Unless you're planning on starting some sort of ponzi scheme of course...

Looking at the name, I assume you're thinking of starting something like freebitco.in?

Where is my ring of blades...
I checked on your site and I notice its not yet secured, this is very important, people wants to navigate to a secured site, ask your web host to install an ssl, some webhost company offered it free to their clients but there are free ssl also but you need to install it yourself manually.

right, it must be secured, you should be open to the visitors and customers, try to add the website to a service like trustpilot - let people review it

how did you two open the website, I can't seem to even open it. it seems that it doesn't yet exist (only a domain name).  besides adding the link to other places and advertising it is not going to help OP with what he wants, which is trust which is not going to happen because his idea itself is flawed and seems more like a Ponzi scheme even if it really isn't.

I think the domain has been very creative and beautiful. However, it is very difficult to succeed through a website. We have dozens of reliable and successful websites. You may have to do something very remarkable.

And I can't reach your website right now. Is there any problem or you prepare it now?

If you think to promote ICO, it will be too hard because people were getting scam from ICO and they are hard to believe in ICO again. My suggestion is you can give an article about cryptocurrency, especially a project that changes into IEO because I think IEO now become popular among the people.

You can raise money from the ads that you were placed in your site so you can gain more money and you can use that money to develop your site. It's only a suggestion, whether you will accept or not, it's up to you.

Raise investment from BTCPoP - (get a loan or investment) You will need to verify with them (or pay an exorbitant rate)

Nowadays its hard to create a free bitcoin trusted site. Make sure that you really are offering people free bitcoin and just for clickbait for ads or content locker.

Saw your site is not secure and at my end, it doesn't have a thing it's just pure white (maybe you are fixing it). When people saw free bitcoin that is being offered on a website they will always think that the site has some shady business going on.

Well, you're going to have to work to get your first 500 users through a direct outreach. Once they trust you, get them to talk about you everywhere - on forums, blogs and also your own website. Unless you're running a Ponzi scheme - let it build slow and steady. 2 cents. Ka-ching!

You should improve your site, otherwise be more transparent.

You need someone that will fund your project so yeah you will definitely need someone that will believe on your site, perhaps that will be the most critical stage.
