This is the section where people are looking for loans, so I thought this the right place. Mods, please go ahead and move to correct section.

Fair question. I only have one trade for alt coins with a member under my belt. My account has been open a few years, if that's anything. I suppose you'd have to trust me. Even the "free and trusted providers" started somewhere, right? This is an opportunity for me to get involved with my research first-hand. While not an objective position, I am the one writing the paper, so I don't believe it adds any further bias.

You should try to build a reputation first by actively participating in the marketplace here on these forums. Doing trades, sales, etc to build up a reputation. I checked your trust ratings and you only have a single positive review from another member and nothing else. For anyone else to trust you as a neutral third party to hold any amount of funds you should at least have the reputation to show for it.

Now, I am not saying you're not reliable or trustworthy but it will be a lot easier once you've established yourself here. With little to zero trading history, not many people will trust you with their funds regardless of your forum rank.

Also, this seems to be posted in the wrong section. You should have this moved to the Services section here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0
