I have the groundwork planned for a coin but want to do A captcha faucet but that takes alot of time and how would I get the funds to be listed on an exchange
Ico would fix the problem and make it faster but I feel really scummy taking money from people
Exchange listing happens after the ICO (as far as I know) so assuming that the ICO has ended successfully, you can just get the fees from that.
But in order for people to trust their money to you (for your ICO to reach its targeted cap), you must first be "trustable" in their eyes and for that you need a lot of money upfront since you have to hire devs, lawyer(s), designers, managers etc.. and the other fees like marketing fees etc...
I'm not sure of the names but there are exchanges out there that mainly relies on the users votes so you could try running a small campaign and give users a small incentive in exchange for their votes.
Taking small steps and gradually increase to higher ones would be always a smart move.Not just rushing out yourself into big exchanges even you havent any idea on what you are doing.Funds or fees would really be there which is normal specially on big and reputable exchanges.If we do read up on op, he doesnt like to take money from people which this is a primary thing for you to be done to get on what you are targeting to.You would need ICO for you ti proceed.
