I shutdown Bitcoind.com

[Bitcoind.com]

I bought bitcoind.com a year ago, it was a hopefull time and the bitcoin price surge, so many bitcoin apps spring up.
I was full of expectations for Bitcoin, I finally got this domain after arduous negotiations.

I thought about how to use this domain name, to build a mining pool, a blockchain site, a online wallet or a payment solution gateway.
I'm a programmer, familiar with PHP and Ruby, I knew that blockchain, payment, mining and wallet all those have a similar business. I thought I should create a different service.

A bitcoin social site came into my mind, I thought bitcoin should have its own social site, we can share our bitcoin activities, write bitcoin blogs and create crypto currency groups, like facebook and bitcointalk.

A social website for bitcoin was online after a few months, I put a great deal of time and effort on this site. I was feeling relaxed after site online.
I'm not a good operator, I know very little about how to promote website, The weakness of this disadvantage was showing later, bitcoind.com only have 87 users in the past six months.

I still do not know whether bitcoin should have its own social site, yes, we have facebook and twitter, we have more choices to choose.
Maybe I should't use bitcoind.com to build a social site, cast pearls before swine.

You missed the train, Bitcointalk.org is basically what you tried to recreate.

I think you are right, maybe created a mining pool or something else is a chance, who knows

Nobody wants to be on so many forums, you should have created someone which helps the ecosystem apart from a forum. Like some tutorials and reviews

[twister]

Make something of it, you still have the domain, make a small gambling site with different games, something unique or if you're not interested in it anymore, sell it.

If it's just another forum or website then it needs to offer something unique or else there's plenty of other better options. I think some sort of decentralised social network could be the future and take a chunk out of Facebook's crown but people are already working on them as far as I know.

Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Yes. A social site was probably not the greastest idea, but you tried anyway. That sets you apart from all of those "if-only" dudes out there.

Maybe before your next project (there always is a next project.), you could put a bit more attention to market research and have your business model reviewed before going all-in. Don´t try to reinvent the wheel. Maybe ask yourself not only what people could want/need, but also if your solution is better then the alternatives that are available.

Anyway, I wish you good luck and I am looking forward to see what you will be up to next.
