============= Old info kept for prosperity!==================
[Updates listed below]

Hello Bitcoin project creators,

BitcoinStarter.com (http://www.bitcoinstarter.com) is now open and we are now open to accepting Bitcoin funding seeking projects.

BitcoinStarter features include:

Updated: 08/27/14

• Projects can range in interest from creative art and music to technology-related
• Our platform has a sizeable group of Bitcoin pledgers who have signed up to help fund project owners
• Any amount can be pledged starting from micro pledges (.00000001) to larger pledges
• Projects are thoroughly vetted by BitcoinStarter before they are listed on the site
• We also promote your project through our own advertising to help it reach its goal - we are as passionate as you are about your project
• We utilize an “All or Nothing” format, if you do not reach your goal the Bitcoins will be returned to your pledger(s) account(s) automatically
• The all in important Security function – Bitcoins are safely stored in an offline wallet
• In the near future, we will have an opt-in feature for pledgers that will allow them to decide if they want the project owner to keep the pledged funds despite the project not reaching its goal

You can reach us by posting below or PM us here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=35711).

Please read over our FAQ (https://bitcoinstarter.com/faq) for any questions or go start your own project (https://bitcoinstarter.com/users/sign_up).

Our main BitcoinStarter support thread on Bitcointalk.org thread here  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=163789.0) for any other questions you may have.

Looking forward to seeing what projects you can come with!  ;D

I agree!  :D

When starting a project, there is a message:




My question:


A project will not be able to be started if that deposit is not made - is that right?


thanks

Hi,

There is no association between a deposit and a project starting. Did you have a project that was listed.
Just let me know thanks!

-BitcoinStarter

It would rank a lot better if you put the name of the project in the URL, rather than just a number.

I am attempting to list one, but when I saw that message, I thought it was a charge to be able to list the project.

thanks

Hey,

Yes, that is one aspect we are working on changing. We have many new things coming up.

Welcome,

Just let me know if I can help you.

Thanks.

Thank you.. it is now listed here:

https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/54


It is a decentralized bitcoin market. We all need it!

Like the idea a lot. I responded to your PM thanks!

We have fixed the price swing problem with Bitcoins.

When you create a project, it saves the btc rate and then uses it to adjust the amount if the checkbox is set and btc rate changes.
e.g. if you project's target amount is 100 btc and project's btc_rate is 260 and checkbox is set... then according to the current rate the adjusted target should be around 236 btc

We are pleased to to announce we've had our 1st ever project funding in Bitcoins through BitcoinStarter.com!

Here is the project:

Frog: Bringing Bitmessage into mainstream! (https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/98)

You can keep pledging to it if you so choose.

We have a few other exciting projects in the works along with the addition of a few new features coming down the pipeline so stay tune!

Thanks for the support,
BitcoinStarter

We are happy to announce two successfully Bitcoin Crowdfunded projects:    Frog:  BitMessenger  (https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/18)  and  Seed Factory (https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/18). Each went over their funding goal! Thank you to all the pledgers who pledged to these two fine projects.

Good afternoon Bitcoin community!

We have more good news as two new projects funded!  First one, Electrum for Android (https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/104). Second one, MadBitcoins! (https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/102). Congrads to both projects!

Keep in mind you can still pledge to them or their stretch goals. If you are pledger to either project thank you for making the Bitcoin Community a better place.

Couple of recent projects just listed on BitcoinStarter!

NFC Ring: https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/121

Bitcoin Washer: https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/115

BitMobil -Portable generator money: https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/127

BitCredits.io: https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/126

Bitcoin Evaluetor: https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/131

Allahcoin: https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/125

does the "forgot password" button work?

I get: "We're sorry, but something went wrong."

Fixing it as we speak! will let you know. Thanks!

Try it now!

We are busy working on some new features stay tuned!

Ok.. so where do I start ? ..

Why are you making this to promote scams ? This forum has enough space for that.

Let me take some quick examples:

https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/131 - 1 BTC to do nothing that is not already done, plus zero description on how it will be done.

https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/125 - 20 BTC to create an altcoin, where the project starter has no idea on how to do it.

https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/126 - 25 BTC where the guy says he is a recognized python developer. If you are not in this list http://hg.python.org/committers.txt, and the guy isn't, then no, you are not recognized.

https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/127 - 1.9 BTC for generating money, without any clue whatsoever about how it will work.

People don't have to pledge. We aren't going to be able to catch everything that is posted.

We've add the ability for people to pledge to projects anonymously now. So no need to sign up an account on BitcoinStarter you can pledge right then and there!

More features on the way stay tune!  ;D

I want to post here :)

I have a project on bitcoinstarter that I need to get funded to make it a success: https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/439. As of now I received 0.0, but aside from that I'm very positive about Bitcoinstarter. The guy(s?) behind it is really friendly and helpful, we had a lot of contact on Twitter. It's also nice that there aren't any stupid requirements like living in the US (kickstarter) or having a Paypal business account (IndieGogo).

Now just lets hope bitcoinstarter can attract some more investors, the site badly needs it.

Hello all,

We are working on some new things stay tune!  ;D

Thought i would post this here, i hope we can get enough people to help us launch our project

https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/893

If you have any questions regarding our project please feel free to PM me, Thanks :)

I do like the idea behind BitSasa :) good luck!

How doe s one contact project owners if you like a particular project and would like more details or discussion on it?

You can PM me the project ID and I can get you their email. Or, if you have disqus account you can just leave a message on their project page.

Is this your project ? ^^

Yes. I meant it to float the BTC amount to $15,789 USD. (https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=573872769391057&id=301353599976310)

Ah, I'll look into this now then. Thanks for letting me know!  so you aren't seeing the change?

Not sure, partly because I don't know what exchange you're floating to.

Check on coinpost.com and see how they float ad prices. The way they made the ad creation form seems much more straightforward. Also, considering your 5% fee, you should also put in a x*.95 calculation that says how much BTC will ultimately be released if the project is fully funded, like Amazon Marketplace tells sellers before they submit their listings.

I believe we are doing Bitaverage . I see it changing so it is working. I'll look over coinpost.  Good idea on running a calculation of how much BTC you be released upon successful completion of funding.  I'll add this to the long list of improvements. Thanks!

Hi,

Keep in mind not everything is approved. What project ID is it?

This is a pretty cool project just listed!

https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/1032

Please add a filter function to see partly funded projects (like 5%+) and you might want to make it standard as well. Going through pages to see unfunded stuff ain't fun (and it doesn't look appealing for new projects either).

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion. We are actually in the process of re-making the whole platform and will include this filter you mentioned. Exciting things coming down the pipeline so stay tune!   Thanks again for the feedback.

I see the OP hasn't been active for a while

I have 0.7BTC pledged in a campaign that didn't go trough (means I get my pledges back)

I'm interested to know when does the "pending extension" message go away and I can get my money?

Anyone help?  :-\

Succeeded in getting my coins after contacting the OP over twitter

 :)

This is a good site for crowd funding info, I would suggest the OP contact them to arrange for listing BitcoinStarter.com campaigns on their site

site down?

I think you are right, on behalf of PICISI I would like to publicly offer to buy bitcoinstarter.com.   PICISI will be a crowdfunding site that will accept fiat and crypto. Let me know if you are interested.



The EMC2 board unanimously endorsed PICISI.

The HYPER has endorsed PICISI and intends on being a sponsor.

The original developer left (sometime in 2014 I think) so Bitcoinstarter and I worked together to relaunch the platform. That being said, the site has new improvements over the previous site, like adjusting the goals and rewards to the exchange rate, fixed and flex funding, and support to accept pledges in over 30+ different cryptocurrencies.
