Bitcoin Forum

Hello there and thanks in-advance for reading this! I am kind of new here but have been a lurker for years but never thought of registering until now has I wanted to do something of my own, you can call me Ricki or Rick by the way! Today I have started a new project I will be working on closely! I have got the domain, and paid for a year hosting and done a few bits and bobs, but I have now come to a stand still, I don't know what else to add, content is not a problem as that will follow over space of time, and hopefully I can find some partners who have interested in this to help take this project further.

The Forum is running off the forum software MyBB, with a premium theme from WallBB.

Get in touch, drop me with a PM on with your discord or something.

Can you tell us what the project is, or even the domain name?

If you're just planning on launching a very specific technology discussion board, you have a long battle ahead from many established communities.

The project is a specific technology discussion board but I plan on doing a few things different, Ethereum has a native cryptocurrency called Ether (ETH). ETH is digital money. If you’ve heard of Bitcoin, ETH has many of the same features. It is purely digital, and can be sent to anyone anywhere in the world instantly! But you all ready knew that (just saying for the people who don't know) But unlike any other blockchains, Ethereum can do much more. Ethereum is programmable, which means that developers can use it to build new kinds of applications. (and i'm thinking with the right people on board, and over time I can attract a few MyBB plugin developers to develop something creative the team of EthereumTalk can discuss together).

I won't tell you everything I am going to do but with the right members onboard we can scale this project far! I am really good at SEO and ranking on SERP and ALEXA, including high ranking backlinks.

As Vod said, there are many already established communities around. I have some reasonable knowledge about ethereum and I would like to hear about your project.

You didn't mentioned anything about your project, just very very basic Ethereum concepts which are not new here. Actually, everyone hear is already tired of reading so many people repeating what you said.

Hi bitmover the project will be starting off with focusing on content and anything related to Ethereum we need it posted, helping people understand Ethereum, and how everything works is what I am after just so I can get ethereumtalk place in google. (the SEO campaign is smart). I know a few MyBB developers that can do a few things with Ethereum Technology I really don't want to go in to much depth but it revolves predictions and a game, with the plugin newpoints (which members can earn points for posting which can be cashed out for a small Eth exchange. I am a long way off from this point, but with the right people to get things moving and attraction going it can be good going for who ever joins this).

So are you looking to hire people, or are you looking for volunteers? If it's the latter, what do they get out of it?

There's far too many people trying to solicit free labour on this forum, so it would need to be something truly special to be worth the hassle.

You didn't paint a convincing picture with your opening post that's for sure.

So your target audience is people new to the crypto world?

Yes but for a fixed priced a fortnight (don't know how much but something we can arrange upon but who ever helps will still earn something nothing crazy though) this was more of a hobby forum where I would jot down idea's. Also a place to get to meet new people who have the same interests if anyone was to register (my writing and grammar skills ain't the best and I am kind of dyslectic but have many other skills and never give up) so I ain't had the best of luck. I just can't find anyone who has interest on a forum starting from scratch.

Yeah that's sometimes a problem I have is wording my self.


Yes and no, the main reason behind finding all useful information regarding ethereum for beginners is SEO like I mention before it's to do with the smart way of SEO.

I have gotten a full revamp on everything check it out https://EthereumTalk.net

You can make your own profile and have your own https://EthereumTalk.net/@ethereumtalk

There is a "terms and conditions" clause but they are not defined. So users will just be ticking them off without knowing what they are. Its not moving past the "Add profile pic" frame though.
There isn't any intro before you make a profile.So it seems like you are just trying to get this up and running ASAP to have some sort of first-mover advantage on that domain name. Lets see if that profile actually goes through. Maybe then we can see what the insides are about. It still needs work and testing. Good Luck.

I do need help with that part. This is Version 1.0 of EthereumTalk, I plan on adding some more features over time, and your right I would like a first-
mover advantage on the domain. Skip it and add it when it loads up I will work on that later.

You should shut down registration until you get terms and a privacy policy on your site. 

This is like sign a blank check.


This is the right thing to do. No privacy policy is very unprofessional, and it really looks like you don't give a damn about the user's data you will have to handle.
Usually, people in crypto currencies communities really care about privacy.

Take a look at the privacy policy of bitcoin talk for example. It will give you some directions

https://bitcointalk.org/privacy.php

Just done that.


Maybe you could help out at all and help with the progress.

I think you should open a recruitment post in the services section of the forum, here;

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0

You'll probably have for more success recruiting assistants there.

You can also check out the /r/slavelabor subreddit. Plenty of people there looking to make a quick buck and wouldn't mind fleshing out your forum.

We are already helping ;)
But if you need someone to work for you, I suggest that you go to services board where you can offer a payment for somer services, like this one (make your privacy policy)

i closed down this project because its not one for me.

That's unfortunate, can you give us reasons why you are closing it down, you have a good domain and you are targeting a good projects that will soon become a top cryptocurrency I'm not saying that you should continue, but what made you decide it's not for you, in the first place what made you decide to put up this project.

A successful project always requires countless hours of hard working, study, etc.
If you think it is not for you, that you don't have the natural aptitude for it, it is best to move on.


I agree, this is certainly a good domain name. I don't follow ethereum dev community and I don't know where they hang out, but I don't know any big ethereum forum. Reddit maybe? official ethereum.org is mostly desert.

That was a quick one. By the way, the domain name is pretty slick. There isn't another ethereumtalk that comes up in google search. For that matter, this too doesn't come up yet on the first page. I thought something more along the lines of this forum for ethereum was a good idea. Especially if someone can get the original people onboard for it.

Would you care to take some time to share what prompted you to go for it and then drop it. These are often learning experiences and I personally would love to learn from yours. I know it can be difficult to sustain side projects if you have other occupations. A first hand experience on what difficulties you faced in terms of lack of time, money or knowledge to build this.

My knowledge of coding is limited I got everything set up and thought there was no bugs, turns out no one could get past the profile bit. I'm a big fan of bitcointalk (i also have tallkbitcoin.net and talkbitcoins.net) and how far they have come, I remember when it first open a lot of people flooded the forums.


Depression and when I saw the domain I had to buy it being a long time lurker on bitcointalk but never registered just learnt a lot from reading on here.


Hope, Hype, and just motivation comes in but I get to a point then... I just flop. Because I really have no support (that what it feels like) and lack of knowledge. I don't really do anything with my time I have no structure to daily bases I suffer with several mental health problems but i'm trying. Also the data if I was to create something long term I want to be sure everyone is safe.

Story of my life..LOL..I am sure a lot of people go through this before they find something they can be proud of.

Right. Even I have been trying to get enough knowledge to build something. There are no shortcuts to it. You HAVE to start with the nitty-gritty. For example, At work, I have to learn about a communication protocol used in transportation. It involves revising the basics on OSI model to the programming tools used for configuring the system. To get an actual system working, you have to break it down into goals. I have been trying this approach and it works. Smaller goals and milestones. You can still make the website work. If not now, maybe later. MyBB has a community themselves. You can find answers there. Keep it in the backburner for a while till you feel like going to it again. Good luck for your next project. Just pick something, you'll find it.
