I would like to introduce/reintroduce myself and our site
CryptoThrift. CryptoThrift is a Bitcoin and Litecoin ONLY marketplace and auction site founded by two developers from Sydney, Australia. We're reporting about our site and services because we're getting asked lately why we're so quiet and we're not advertising the site nor engaging with users. We do apologize about that, we've been REALLY busy with development on CryptoThrift and yes, our PR did get lower than usual. In saying so, and in reply to those who care about us and to other discussions on this forum and other crypto related sites, we'd like to shed some light on where we're at, what we're doing and our short term plans for the site.
We admit we're still nowhere near where we plan to be. We are adding new features on a weekly basis, enhancing the buying and selling experience for our users and making it as effortless as possible to sell, buy, release escrow or even get a refund.
We understand that the site doesn't look the best, but don't judge a book by its cover. A lot of "nice" looking sites were online for a short period of time before they got hacked, they closed down or they were found to be "not so legit" so to speak. Before we enhance the look of the site, we have great and exciting features to add, and we believe this is more important than the look of the site. That said, we are working on enhancing the current UI as we speak, but a full site rewrite is planned in the near future as well.
We are a
registered business operating on Australian land and we are as transparent as you can get when operating an online business. The founders are both active members of the Bitcoin Association of Australia and invited members of the Bitcoin Professionals subgroup.
We are currently working on a major marketing campaign, including adverts on Bitcoin and Crypto related sites, blogs, Google ads, and various press publications. We have a big three months of advertising ahead of us and we believe we should be able to double our numbers of both buyers and sellers.
In terms of where we currently stand, May has been a very exciting month for us, we've broken new big numbers:
- 1,000,000 page views this month.
- 200,000 unique visitors
- 5,000+ registered users
Our short term plan is to increase the above figures by 2-3 fold in the next three months with advertising campaigns, a vouchers/referrals system, as well as few new features which will help our current and new users transact smoother than ever. We also have some exciting partnerships in the pipeline with some major players in the Bitcoin industry.
I would like to invite every one to give
CryptoThrift a try and send us their feedback, it's the only way we can enhance what we have. If you have a Bitcoin related site and have spare ad spaces for sale, shoot us an email support[at]cryptothrift[dot]com we are looking for you. If you would like to partner with us and exchange advertising, we're also open for that.
