Title: My fun crypto side-project: TopOfTheCoins.com
Post by: topofthecoins on January 09, 2018, 09:57:37 PM
Hey,

A few days ago I launched a fun side-project to learn more about crypto. It’s a couple of days in and has had thousands of views from tech/crypto enthusiasts and has quickly become profitable (albeit in small amounts!)

This is the website: https://www.topofthecoins.com (https://www.topofthecoins.com)

The concept is this… users post a message on the site simply using a transfer of Ethereum. You don’t need to create an account or anything, just generate the unique Ether address. The message that uses the most Ethereum stays at the top, until someone posts a message using 15% more Ether than the previous top message.

The project has always had an upside for me, as it was created to learn a little bit more about crypto and the Coinbase API; to network with the community; etc... all of which I've achieved.

Having said that, since it's built and has had quite a few customers already just a few days in, I'm now trying to spread the word further to see just how big it can get, and if indeed it's possible to be a modern day MillionDollarHomepage.

Would love to hear any feedback/comments/criticism on the website/idea itself, and also any ideas how I can spread the word.

Thanks,
Joe

Damn this looks interesting  ;D
If it gets more people/traffic, it can be profitable af.

But until then, good luck  ;)

Thanks!

It is super exciting. I didn't expect it to get many sales... but now that it's had a few, I really want more.

It's a delicate balance for the supply and demand of this. Without views people won't pay, but without people paying people won't view.

I'm going to continue putting out press releases and posting in places like this in the hope that a journalist or someone influential sees it and is feeling kind :-)
