Bitcoin Forum

Is there a website, forum thread or whatever that promotes crowdfunding projects?
I found some on google however I don't think none is working anymore..

I'm asking this because I have a business idea related to bitcoin, well I can try by a fiat crowfunding too however I think it's more easy to "bitcoin-people" have interest.

just browsed many bitcoin's crowdfunding site few weeks ago and i find that people who start project and seeking for investor are lack of funds in bitcoin world,most of the project didn't reach the goal after few months or even year so if i were you better go off and seeking for fiat crowdfunding which is more crowded or lets say more have people than bitcoin's crowdfunding site nowaday,i guess all of the bitcoin just go for an ICO or alt crowdfunding

the promotion of crowd funding project is starting for you, the crowdfunding just present a funds for your project if your project getting a goal in your target.
Well, but you will never know if you do not try, and maybe about your project you can lure the people or investor in crowdfunding for joining into bitcoin, there are not think about interested or not they just always know about the project is can give them a profit.

same here, after some tries attempts I give up
yes, people only invest bitcoin on alts lol(or ponzi schemes lol) and that's ironic because we can see a lot of people asking where to grow their bitcoins.. ;)



yes but I saw some sites and well, 1 year projects with 0%, I don't think it can have good results
unfortunaly that's the way, try fiat crowdfunding

To tell you the truth, people--be it average fiat users or avid bitcoin people--would listen to your idea and support you if they find your business model viable and has the possibility to be successful. You don't need to be known or whatever to go to a crowdfunding site and ask people to support you. You just need the right approach and a great business model to be heard. Bitcoin crowdfunding sites, I think, isn't really that popular.

But what are your site is visiting? but are you ever for trying visiting on here?
http://www.crowdfunding.com/
Well, there are a lot of crowdfunding site but just some is a reliable site and you need for filtering them before.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowdfunding

What do you have in mind, and the budget you thinking you will need, if i like the idea i can invest on your project, but i need to know what you are thinking about. Did you tryed to get a loan or credit from the people where you live to make it?(banks loan maybe)

Please reading about the OP's topic again, you're the answer is not to the point maybe just little in the out of the road. the op is asking about crowdfunding. but i can;'t understand about your anser. ???

Yes, mostly people would  rather  choose and ICO on alts since they  would somehow have assurance when the project coin would be succesful which  many investors would  do the same thing on ICO periods but in some projects i guess it would be hard  to crowdfunding since people wouldnt be  interested at all i guess unless if your project is good and   they see it that is  profitable  in the future.

an alternate coin ico will not going to give you an insurance nor assurance,the funds that you just invested will be unpredictable whether it'll stolen or the project will be successful,people would prefer an altcoin crowdfunding because they could got a big profit in short term and it's such an instant thing

Well bitcoin crowdfunding isnt yet known and popular even between the Bitcoin's community. If you have some smart idea or concept which could help people to make bitcoins, it will be advertised without any doubt

Never seen any forum or website about bitcoin crowdfunding, but i think you can promote your business (if you have already started it or planning soon to be started) on this forum as well, obviously that would cost you something but your business would surely get investors i'm sure.

i think something like kickstarter can be good, if it can integrate bitcoin, you cna create your project there and ask for bitcoin instead of fiat, but sadly for now there are no other thing like that

What about this site: https://bitcoinstarter.com/ (https://bitcoinstarter.com/) anyone can tell us more about this project?
They seem to be crowdfounding service which is using over 30 different types of cryptocurrency - as theirs advertisement slogan say.
But I honestly never seen this site advertised on Bitcointalk so I have no idea about their reputation.

Is not about the popularisation of bitcoin crowdfunding because maybe you can be trying for searching about bitcoin crowdfunding and the answer you will not see bitcoin crowdfunding and I can say until this time there are no people is not touched for making a trust crowdfunding site for bitcoin.

But you can see from their listed off the project and that is very different with https://www.kickstarter.com/ and why? Considering the bitcoin started site their developer is not wanna having an intention for continuing their site and that's more like a dead site I think. A failure project?

                               
     
Thanks for the links, I'l see if it can help me!
           
                               
           
Well, actualy a have "a lot" of different ideas, maybe I only need to transform the ideas to real projects..

       

Yes I saw this site however all projects seems stucked in 0%, maybe they need a little bit of adversiting to bring more people to site..

Exactly that, that site needs more views, more recognition and more exposure. Crowdfunding is a still a new phenomenon - mixing it with another niche new invention might not the the best option.
Plus, when you use normal crowdfunding service - kickstarter or indiegogo, when project fail to reach goal, backers will get their money back. How does that work with Bitcoin?

As per my knowledge crowdfunding is usually done for New coins and is not necessarily an advantage to do which the most stable coin that is Bitcoin. Thats the reason you see these days almost all new coins are involved in Crowdfunding.

I did a quick google search and came up with these:
bitcoin-starter.com
coinfunder.com
btc-funding.com

And in case you didn't know, there is an altcoin called startcoin made especially for crowdfunding.. Link -> https://startcoin.org/

Thank you poordeveloper! I think that site site are working! I'll try!


Yes I googled too, and this sites seems to be dead...

Thanks for the startcoin info! I'll read more about!

I wonder why Bitcoin crowdfunding isn't that popular like regular, fiat crowdfunding? In contrary it should be much easier and more borderless but for some reason people are less keen to give away their Bitcoins then fiat money. But if you are starting business and trying to collect Bitcoins at the end because of the volatility of the price you might end with lack of funds.

A nice way to go for you might be your own site and Wordpress.  You can rent shared hosting or any server that has an easy install Wordpress.  Add to the site crowdfunding plugins and then add a Bitcoin plugin after that.  Configure the crowdfunding settings after installing Bitcoin payments. 

I think it isn't popular because there aren't that many sites specifically designed for this and therefore currency crowdfunding is more popular and people go there but I suppose as time goes there will be more BTC crowdfunding

Yes i think You can find several plugins for payments of both FIAT and Bitcoin, I know you don't want the FIAT, but they might work better with the crowdfunding plugins. 

If you follow this, Then probably  finally, remove all the payment options for FIAT, leaving your crowdfunding plugin with no other way to pay than Bitcoin.   Should be able to do this for less than $5 per month and you have absolute control.
Nice Idea  :)

Yes, mostly people would  rather  pick and ICO a propos alts back they  would somehow have assurance gone the project coin would be succesful which  many investors would  obtain sticking to of the same business on ICO periods but in some projects i guess it would be hard  to crowdfunding previously people wouldnt be  avid at all i guess unless if your project is fine and   they see it that is  profitable  in the far ahead.

I have a project in Aliencamp please see this link

Tanks

you want crowdfunding use fiat money and promotion in bitcoin community i think you can low interest
if you want market target bitcoin community if open crowfunding you must use bitcoin or altcoin use payment

about crowdfunding promotion site, icocountdown.com, but if the best bitcoin crowdfunding promotion in bitcointalk

Some strange beating an already dead horse is going on here especially 3-4 posts above me, I think someone (Satoshi) once had a brilliant idea and he didn't host/ launch an ICO but rather went ahead and gave his ideas life by providing the opportunity for people to see/ review/ inspect and see for themselves, ideally he threw bitcoin at online communities and selflessly left the scene, I wonder how many people could be like him?

While you all are busy with your ICOs and your ROIs not a bad thing to think a little first, if you have a money making idea that has true potentials and it is practically a golden idea you'd never share it with the "crowd" to "fund" it, instead you go straight to some big players/ companies with a lawyer to avoid getting conned and your idea stolen and whatever the product might be you'll get some shares by signing a legitimate/ legal contract.
The example of ICOs/ crowdfunding is more similar with weapon manufacturer waging wars intentionally and then advertising widely about their products. and I think like when they say strength is in numbers, stupidity of a few could affect the masses.

Though there are some sites and efforts for Bitcoin Crowdfunding, hardly in any site the goal is reached. In my opinion, there is a contradiction of concept here. People will crowdfund if everything about you is transparent including your identity whereas the concept of Bitcoin or any crypto coin is dependant on anonymity. People hesitates to fund considering the anonymous factor of the mode I think.

Even if people collaborates for crowdfunding,then also there are plenty of useless project who bluffs at starting but do not do anything.they create roadmap which they cant even follow.there should be asset hold guarantee before people start investing in any project to secure there funds.

Theres a site called kickstarter a site dedicated for crowdfunding , but I believe your bitcoin address is enough to start this, all you have to do is to promote it ,just like ICO coins are doing. Why look for 3rd party site?

I think that bitcoin or other cryptocurrency crowdfunding makes sense only when it is being run by a reputable, legit company, where we dont have to be afraid of our funds being stolen or used for frauds.

It is because that bitcoin crowdfunding site could have easily suspend itself and just transfer the money through blockchain, that is ths main reason why a website like that need a strong team behind a wheel.


But the idea of making crowdfunding by bitcoin, where the author identity is not known (only company knows the guy that made up the idea) is really great, also it could have collect funds much easier than e.g kickstarter, because bitcoins may be sent from any place, and banking system pretty much sucks at operatioms like that.

Quite a good option for implementing your idea. You just need to make a good business plan and there are like-minded people who will support.

Crowdfunding seems on altcoins. I have never seen on real project or offline projects. I have a business. I produce mambo ice and the ratio of profit is 2.5 it means I make big profit but I still do the business I myself with my wife. I think about crowdfunding but I don't know how to do and to start. How to make proposal and business analisis.

I started thinking about what would be done on a project that should be in the kingdom and open bitcoin fiat but is there any other things like that.

What about https://bnktothefuture.com? Bitstamp has used them months ago to raise capital needed to continue running the exchange. I think they were successful and raised more funds than they needed. Go check them out.

I am not so sure about bitcoin crowdfunding.
Due to bitcoins anonymity, giving my coins away makes me always feel uncomfortable.
With crowdfunding, you usually have to support startup companies who have no reputation.
In most cases all you can do is gather information from the internet and their website.
There are just too many possibilities of fraud.

Bitcoin crowdfundings is saturated by scammers so theres no way for me to believe on those false promises since i know that they will turned scam. I already see so many scams from it and that s totally enough for me to judge it in that ways so if theres people inviting me on that well id rather block them since i don't trust people who hungry for little refferal earnings since they only care for their self.

I dont think that bitcoin crowdfunding would have a chance to be better than a regular crowdfounding, the one on the web (for example, kickstarter).
It is because of a simple reason, the bitcoin is considered by a big part of community as a scam, or a ponzi scheme, so they are not going to get into it, because they are scared that the money will go not to the authors, but to the different people.

That is also I think why bitcoin crowdfunding isn't something great. It is because that I would never trust any company that runs that kind of a service, I would still make up conspiracy theories, that their website is taking the money of the users that want to help someone.

Would it make more sense to you if there was a smart contract on an immutable blockchain taking those crowdfunding money? Maybe crowdfunding with the use of trustless smart contracts are the future particularly for people like you who wont trust anyone. Which common sense will say is always the right move.

Waves token is good oportunity to start crowdfund or ico.
