How to gain trust of users on a new free crypto website?

[ethereumhunter]

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

"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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
