I'm not sure what to think of this one, it could well be a scam to just run away but equally it could be a profitable business.

My first point is your website is awful to load. I am not exaggerating when I say it took 17 seconds to load on my computer. I would advise using a server in central Europe, and make it a VPS not a GoDaddy shared hosting package.

These can be very cheap and will perform far better.

As for ensuring/preventing this from being a scam we would like to know who you are, and have some details on the business.

Some more most likely unwelcome advice:

Drop GDN, it makes you look shitty. If you want people to be able to pay with alts, keep the bidding in BTC and then use coinpayments to automatically convert into BTC. That should be fairly simple and it keeps everyone happy.

Drop the three images at the bottom (BTC accepted, verified and secured, GDN accepted). We know, the website is called crypto-auctions and everything is denominated in BTC.

Allow $/£/€ denomination on auctions. Some people like that.

Get rid of "share this" thing. It looks 2005 more than anything, your users no exactly how to share your website, don't insult them.

Buttons, why the hell do they have a PCB layout to the left of the text. It looks awful, make it flat. Its very easy to make buttons look good using some simple transitions.

Get rid of all of this code "<td width="16"><img src="themes/v6/img/db_bg.gif" width="16" height="30"></td>" and then change the CSS on class db to height:100% and throw in some transitions, on hovers etc.

Get rid of any sort of gradients. Keep it simple, its too busy.

Your advice is most certainly not unwelcome.... We are happy to take on board any advice offered and we appreciate everyone has their own view.

The reason for the long load times is our server has been getting attacked this morning causing it to take so long... We have looked into this and taken appropriate action. We are now looking into cloudfare for the site.

We are planning to upgrade the server in the future too.

I'm sorry you feel that us having GDN listed as a currency on the site makes us look "shitty"

We currently have no plans for USD, GBP, Or EUR payments but we can add this if we have enough requests

Background

I am Aaron one of the devs of Global Denomination, I will be managing this site.  

We are new dev team working on building community driven crypto-currency using the X11 algorithm for energy efficient GPU mining and ASICs resistance. We do not use any anonymous features in our currency as we have nothing to hide and no dark intentions.

As i am part of the dev team I want GDN users to be able to have a place to buy and sell items for GDN as well as for Bitcoin.

Users do not have to accept GDN payments its a choice you have when listing, Bitcoin users can use Coinbase.

Cosmetic Issues

We had already planned to update the cosmetics of the site once it was launched

We will look into all the issues that you have brought up and see if we feel the same as you and will update them in due course.

Thanks for your comments
