You want to achieve 50k users. Do you have a time frame for that? How much time do you think will take you to achieve 10% of that? Even if that number will be far off in reality which probably will, but I'm interested to know.
Time frame for 5k users
It's kinda pointless but I'm interested to know the timeframe. And also how you plan on achieving it.
I'll be honest, even 5k users would be a real, awesome achievement, let alone 10x that.

I would like to suggest you re-design your pages. Since you seem to have a lot of them, you could choose something more static which needs less maintenance and work, similar to bitshares.org page. Other thing is those big red letters should be a no-no. red colour is associated with danger, something bad, you should choose a colour scheme and stick with it, it would also give you more brand recognition (i.e bitshares is blue, nxt seems to be yellow? Qora is purple, etc). I'm saying this because I really believe - letting transparency issues aside - that this is one of the main reasons why people fud all over your project: the moment I open the pages they immediately strike me as scam/ad like pages. Poor design, big letters, random pictures that seem to be taken from a google image search, the "do now", "buy now", "it's the only way" sort of things. Just just typical from ad and phishing sites.
Some examples:
- Click One of the Buttons Below To Secure Your Copy of The Digital Money Revolution Before the Price Goes Up
- 30 Days Money Back Guarantee
- Right Now the Government Is Conspiring To Steal Your Money
- The only Way to Survive the Financial Crisis
That's the kind of statements that if someone sees will be
instantly turned off. Like I said, that type of pages is exactly the same used by scammers - and I mean poor ones who could actually do way better - and on a tv show showing the adds of 20 or 30 years ago. It's the typical car salesmen speech, lots of guarantees, pressuring the client, creating the scenario where the client needs this now, these are actually techniques proven to used by scammers and not only from the ones over the internet, even mechanics and people in real life. Also, once again, you use too much
red and that definitely has to go along with the big bold images, etc. Gives it a chaotic appearance.
One more thing that I thought you or someone who runs online businesses should know:
Please visit
https://www.google.com Now visit
https://www.yahoo.com/ Now visit google again. You have there the answer why so much people use google and ignore yahoo. Simple is better. Yahoo's page is a mess I dont even know how a multi million company has a page like that. The interface is terrible, there's just so much going on, too much confusion. How does this apply to your pages? Too much information. Too much text. text is boring, no one will read it. Too many random images, red letters, bold letters, etc, like I said, gives it a chaotic experience.
I'll tell you what I thought of banx the first time I checked it out.
Main page, yeah, looks interesting, a few projects, looks nice.
But when I looked at those pages you mentioned I had to check back twice to see if it were part of the same business! I thought that was something really fishy! That's really alarming. Someone who cares about its business should care about appearance because that's how people will take their first impressions. And once a potential costumer checks your website and doesnt like it or worse, associates it with ads/scam pages, thats even worse, they wont ever check it again, and that I can tell you it's guaranteed!
Another thing is, you currently have lots of businesses on banx. That's good if you could execute them now, atm. But as I see it, it's too much for now or a cryptocurrency as a moment. Imagine a company opening and has lots of ideas. Efforts, money and worse, concentration and focus get scattered around! I'm not one to tell you how to run a business, let alone yours as I never owned one, but that's my opinion from an "investors" point of view. First I think, wow nice projects! Then I think, Huum, they seem like too many promises. How can he focus on all of this? And then I start to doubt the project because it seems to "promise" too much (I have nothing against being ambitious, that's good but that's a different matter). Since I dont know how to run a business, I would just like to point that out, I dont really have an opinion on it. It seems too much but.. that's it.
So to sumaryze:
- web pages need a better look
- no red colours or random pictures
- too much text and stuff going around, keep it simple
- correct the wording, (ie. those sentences i mentioned above, but obviosuly there are lots more)
I think when things calm down you should ask cass to help with the design. I'm almost sure he will say the exact same things as I.
If you believe in your project keep it up, don't let the fud and trolls affect your motivation or make you start doubting yourself. Keep focused, ignore. Most are children. If not, they have petty lifes. On btc i can only imagine kids and 40's crying and trolling over everything which makes me think their life is pathetic so don't even waste time on that. Keep it up and good luck
