The new site better still accept BTC tho (even if it's just a gimmick), or you can't publish the OP thread here, and I think it's not good if the discussion then moves to the altcoin section. I'm not a dice player but still sad to see when many shops closed (especially those that have many customers), the street gets a lesser crowd, and it's not fun.

I don't think ICO is the best way to go, as the main reason is because of too much responsibility (perhaps burnout) because of outdated tech, not because of lack of funding. With ICO, you will get pressured, painted as a scam, etc. So the focus is no longer about product creation but has to deal with such "investors."

There are many dApps that you can try, perhaps it will give you more inspiration. Good luck!
