Where to post about a new futures exchange

[Kelvin Santos]

Hi all,

We have just launched a new cryptocurrency futures exchange, TickSpread.com. I made an initial post about it at the Project Development board, because we are still in testing mode and I wanted to ask for help. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5344459.0.

However, I now see that my topic might have been more appropriate at the Trading Discussion board, or maybe on some other board related to annoucements.

Can you help me on how to proceed? I don't want to spam duplicate topics.

Thanks!

Since it's still in the testing phase, and you haven't officially launched yet, I'd just keep it on the project development board for now. You can then just edit the OP and move the topic to the Exchanges board. There is a 'Move topic' button on the bottom left corner of the page.

If you want to get the most exposure for it, you could make a board on the services thread and make a signature campaign. I don't see anyone jumping to go to a new exchange that doesn't have an established founder at this point

There is an exchanges board here on the forum for when you do launch: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=223.0

I'd recommend posting there once you've started up, don't make it selfmod, and buy some ads on the forum or other crypto related spaces to try to get users.

You could also offer deposit bonuses to new users if you want to attact more (a lot of futures exchanges seem to have been doing this)...

Service Announcements seems like the right place if you're trying to let users know that you're offering a new service for them to try out.  Exchanges seems like a section for a more established project, or perhaps you could have a thread in each place, one as an announcement and one to give continued updates on the project.  Before it's released, you could also post in the Project Development section if you're trying to get feedback from developers or help resolving potential issues from those experienced in that area.

Thank you for all the helpful replies! Sorry for taking several days to reply here.

Yes, I think we'll wait to move the topic to the Exchanges board once we launch for real. But maybe Project Development is also not the right place, as right now I'm looking for users to test the exchange, not developers to help me with issues. Maybe the Service Annoucements board is a good one for now.

I really like the idea of running a signature campaign once we launch! Thanks for the suggestion. One thing I wonder is how to approach trusted an experienced users for such a campaign. Obviously everyone carrying our signatures would have to put a lot of trust in us, and as you've mentioned, it is hard to join or recommend an exchange without an established founder, and I'll have to work hard to become one.

How can I approach experienced managers for help related to a signature campaign? I'd love to explain the project in detail, giving as much information as needed, so that some trusted members in this community can verify that we have a serious project.

Most campaign managers have an announcement thread were they include their contact details (email, telegram, discord etc). You can aswell just shoot them a pm here on the forum if you prefer that.
If you scroll through the service board, you'll find reputable managers who manage multiple campaigns.

P.S; here's the most updated list of campaign managers I could find,.should help narrow down your search - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4412712.msg39280543#msg39280543

The users who will be promoting your exchange will wear a signature under their name and maybe an avatar. As long as they are getting paid for wearing it, you really don't have to worry about finding enough candidates. Check out some of the signature campaigns in the Services section to get a feeling about what rates those campaigns pay at weekly. Naturally, if you pay more, you can expect a better group of applicants. If you pay less, you will get more spammers and less quality.

Here you go:

- Hhampuz Campaign Management, Escrow Service & Promotions
- DarkStar_ manages ChipMixer (the sig you can see under my name), but I am not sure if he is interested in taking on additional work.
- Royse777🧢 Campaign Management and Translation 💹Agency📈💪🔥
- Legendary - Campaign Management Service by Coolcryptovator.🚀
- yahoo62278 Campaign Management services(Available)

There are more campaign managers out there, but that should be enough for a start.

pugman's OP is empty on my end. Is it just me or is the table gone?

I can view the table from my end. Did you inadvertently add pugman to your ignore list?

No, he is not on my ignore list, and I can see his other posts just fine. It's just that the usual table I have seen plenty of times and the whole post is gone from the OP.



Maybe there is an issue with my connection or something going on with the forum right now. I haven't noticed the same 'bug' in other threads. I even opened a few discussions that contain various tables and they are showing just fine. Let's see if the problem will go away by itself...

@Pmalek It's not a bug, it's your adblocker extension. If you disable it (or just disable cosmetic filtering) you'll be able to see the table just fine.

It's caused by this:

Code:

:xpath(//span[contains(text(),"Advert")]/../..)

So if OP was to remove this part:

Code:

Advertised sites, items, etc are not endorsed and may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction.

The table would show.

~snip solution for Pmalek's problem~

So if Pmalek can't read your post, that means your solution is correct. How ironic.
Short version: disable your adblocker, then read OmegaStarScream's post.

@Pmalek It's not a bug, it's your adblocker extension. If you disable it (or just disable cosmetic filtering) you'll be able to see the table just fine.

I am using uBlock Origin on Google Chrome. When uBlock is turned on for Bitcointalk, I can't see the table. When I turn it off and refresh pugman's thread, the table re-appears. You were right about the adblocker affecting the pages. When I am on Firefox, it works just fine since I don't have an ad-blocker there.
