Improve your website design, it is a crap. Fix your navigation menu CSS it seems buggy, you should put your logo on the left side and the cart logo on the right side. It seems the CSS is broken.
The font used for describing Bitcoin is unreadable. No one wants to read that.
And last, the welcome popup is unattractive, you should able to improve it with something eye catchy.
Thank you for your reply, points taken! I should point out I'm not a web developer and this has been done in my spare time. The font used for describing Bitcoin is unreadable. No one wants to read that.

You want to sell the website, but you have personalized it with your history and your story. You should just sell the domain and chuck the
rest.
There are not really a lot that can be salvaged from this, so I would just put up the domain for sale and be done with it. There are a lot of websites with Bitcoin merchants listings, so that is too saturated too.
It is also a bugger that it not a .com site and that it is only suitable for the UK.
Yeah the idea was to help people from the UK - as there really isn't too much in terms of help and support targeted at just our audience here. Feedback i've received is that the idea is a good one, but actually making it reality may be difficult. rest.

The only interesting idea is to ask what is behind it.
Isn't it just a nice package?
I would like to see you on the "About me" page - about your team, information about your company. There is a lack of convenient contact forms. Not the power of chat.
The page is a slab optimized. Positioning and SEO orders, . Pictures are loaded too long. And I would choose my own text message.
This is the case in a nutshell. Good luck !
Again, thank you and points taken! The website is simply run by me, there's no team or company, this is something I have put together as I joined the crypto scene again during the middle of last year! Isn't it just a nice package?

Hey,
I'm actually looking for help taking my new website to the next level. The unique idea here is crypto raffles. No tokens, ICO's etc, just simply a website aimed at helping different experience levels of people and given them a chance to participate in raffles.
Website has crypto news, guides etc and I think it could be something big if i'm able to find the right person to work with.
Check it out and let me know if it's of interest www.bitshopping.co.uk
Cheers

So I have been working on and developing a new website which is aimed at helping different levels of people in crypto. I have been through some real tough times in crypto in the past, so passing onto others was top of my priority.
Upon doing this, I developed a raffle based system which is a way for people to have a chance at winning Crypto (Bitcoin only atm) and for a new site I have been getting a fairly decent amount of traffic, roughly 300-350 visits per day. I however can't seem to convert these to signups etc so i'm at a bit of a loose end now.
I have debated selling the website as I have other things I want to try, but I really want to make this work.
The website is www.bitshopping.co.uk - what do you think?
Thanks

You have to believe in your ability, know everyone who has a good future of course he must have experienced a failure or loss, but this is where you should be more excited and learn from your failures so it does not happen again in the future, I'm sure. . You can start it again and learn from your previous experience, do not forget I say this welcome back in bitcoin world
Well, back in 2015 when I got into Bitcoin, I actually lost about $15 (worth $150 or more with current rate, possibly $1000+) while trying to sell it to an exchanger. I felt really bad and had to quit, but returned when price went up high to $2000plus. I still managed to cope with and Im okay with what I have now.Good to know you didn't let it knock you too far and you got back up and running!
Sorry to hear about your losses. For me, the motivation is to think of the future of Bitcoin and you will have the energy to go on.
All the best to you and hope you work hard to get 5 BTC back soon.
All the best to you and hope you work hard to get 5 BTC back soon.
I'll hit the milestones soon mate!
In as much as Bitcoin is really the deal, this is one of the issue that use to make me think otherwise sometimes.
I remember last year, I forget my password and pass phrase to my bitcoin. Its quite painful I can't recover it back till now. All I had to do was to move on.
OP, you have to move on, I know it hurts knowing how much you might have missed but this is something out of our control.

I'm seeing it as a learning curve. It's not so much I regret losing the 5btc, obviously it sucks, but if I saw BTC hit 1k I may have sold. Too many ifs and buts, however it's all a learning curve, and it's taught me a massive amount!
welcome back to cryptoworld mate after 5 years just asking is your coins left in crpytsy? did you sell all your coin or just left it there until the cryptsy shut down the service? imagine that you still your 5 btc today have 20k dollars! good thing you have recovered 0.2btc in your wallets to start with i hope this time you will not leave the cryptospace good luck!
Thank you! I left the coins in Cryptsy just to "come back to them later" after seeing the price crash etc. As I mention, I was quite involved with the technical side of things but stupidly didn't take too much notice about the security side of things. It's a shame, it really is, but I gotta start building back up. At the moment, i'm trading alts and will continue to do so until I hold a nice amount of BTC. I'm also going to look into the signature campaigns etc, as every little helps!
Thankful I have never experienced that. I just saved a bit of Bitcoin and chose not to use it. And how can you lose 5BTC. 5 Bitcoin is a huge amount for this year. I hope you can start from the beginning by forgetting the bad memories.
I lost it simply by not understanding the security side of things 4 years ago. I was quite involved with all the technical side of things, mining etc but never really thought about the security side of things. All a learning curve I guess!
Well i don't have any experience with lost coin,but i do have regret for leaving crypto in 2014 because the price is drop hard
So now i don't have a choice but to start over,i mean there is no harm in doing it and i can make profit too if i do this right

Much like me I guess! Just a few years behind, but still understand the ins and outs! Onwards and upwards!
This is so sad to read 5 btc with today value and ever rising prices it will increase that's a huge loss. What you can do is move on and start once more, see the motivation is the rising price and financial freedom, see if you want to earn Bitcoins it will be small but will grow as per your Rank and efforts. Enroll in a signature campaign that will help you earn some coins quickly, if you can sell some services or products then you can do that here. It will take time but stick to it and you shall reap good benefits just this time don't mess up and use a strong wallet not exchanges to store coins.
One thing that's a certainty is that I won't be storing on exchanges anymore!! Thanks for the motivation
hehehe....i believe you specaulating you lost 20000$ worth BTC but thats not completely truth because back there that was just around 1000$ which equal 0.25BTC today. What if BTC today wouldnt be wort a penny would you care that you lost 5BTC in 2013? So leave the regrets behind and jump on BTC rocket! You might will have 20 x fold in value by 2021!
I get what you're saying, and everyone will eventually regret selling early. I think the best thing to do is to set a goal, sell when you hit the goal and be happy with it. I know whoever spent 10000BTC on pizza will be kicking themselves, but back then it would have been amazing to get free pizza! It's one of them things, but i'll set my goals, hold and sell when I know i'll be happy with the outcome!

Thank you for the positive comments! I'm starting again with some minor trading of alt coins etc, and slowly but surely i'm building it back up!
So back in 2012 / 2013 I was quite involved with the Crypto scene, and invested in a mining rig (good old days!) After around a year or so, I managed to mine LTC, trade BTC etc and had somewhere in the region of 5BTC. As the prices all started to plummet, I turned the rig to a desktop computer and stupidly left all of my coins in Cryptsy. Easily done for someone who understood the basic fundamentals of the Crypto world, but not all of the security to go with it.
I managed to recover about 0.2BTC from old wallets etc, and although kicking myself that I could have a life changing amount of money, I've come to a conclusion that I just need to build a bridge and start again!
My question to you all is have you ever experienced anything like this? How did you find the motivation to start again? And what do you think are the best ways nowadays (as i'm 4 years out of touch) at getting back to that milestone of 1BTC in my wallet?
Thanks,
Just ask you a simple question, why did you lose your 5 bitcoin. What was the reason? Did someone steal or hacked or you sell it out on a very low price and now you are telling us that you have lost 5 bitcoin in 2013. And if you or someone else has really lost his bitcoin then nothing to worry, because investing in coins Is like gambling. Some time you will win and sometime you will lose. Try again and you will succeed.I managed to recover about 0.2BTC from old wallets etc, and although kicking myself that I could have a life changing amount of money, I've come to a conclusion that I just need to build a bridge and start again!

I stupidly left my BTC in Cryptsy, before properly understanding the security risks associated with doing such a thing.
all is good and well but a simple one time game isnt enough to gain a solid rep! but being open and honest will show in time!
Not just the one game mate, looking to gain enough rep for the first raffle, then hopefully the winner will post about it, and see how far word of mouth can take it around the Bitcoin Talk community. Just need enough rep to get that first raffle won!
Will the 0.05 BTC prize be paid in Bitcoins?
Hi, yes I will pay 0.05BTC to a wallet specified by the winner. This is all to gain trust and some rep, and hopefully will all go towards implementing this into running BTC for payments and winnings etc. Doing this in fiat is just a good way for me to offer security to you guys and gain the trust which I fully understand I don't yet have.
Thanks,
Following on from a couple of posts from yesterday evening, some of you will know I own www.gorafflin.com and I was looking at ideas of implementing BTC into the raffles etc. One of the main concerns that has been flagged is people wouldn't be happy to just send BTC to a "newbie" on the Bitcoin Talk forum, and I completely understand the concerns there. I would like to reassure those reading that I'm not here to try anything funny,
and I am simply looking at ideas as to whether this would actually be doable or not.
One thing I'm happy to do to attempt to gain trust etc is to hold a few raffles on my site with the tickets being purchased in fiat and winnings being paid in BTC. One raffle I would be prepared to hold would be the following:
A 50 ticket raffle at £4 / 5GBP per ticket. Payments are made via paypal for your guys security.
A prize to the winner of 0.05BTC at market value when the winning ticket is drawn.
As above, I am still looking at ideas etc, however I would be happy to list one of these raffles ASAP if I gain enough interest. One thing I don't want is for loads of people to show interest, half of you buy tickets and the other half pull out, them i'm left with 25 angry people screaming at me for refunds. I can list this raffle anytime, so if I gain enough interest I will do this as an attempt at gaining trust / peoples confidence etc.
Any feedback on the above would be great, and if we can get the interest, i'll get the raffle listed!
Thanks

You are just a brand new account, asking people to send you BTC in the promise of more BTC.
Happens here all the time. It would help if you would identify a trusted escrow and send the prize money there.

It's nothing like that buddy, i'm not asking people to send me anything, i'm simply asking for people opinions and advise on whether something like that could work. I'm in no way saying I want people to send me anything. As mentioned in the post, I wouldn't know where to start with implementing something like this so I'm simply looking for some advise on whether it's possible or not.
Do you mean make the raffle prize, bitcoins or you buy the ticket WI h raffles? If you made the prize Bitcoin, that would just be some sort of jackpot game, but if you made a payment option Bitcoins, that could definitely work.
It would be fairly easy to implement and all you would have to do is get a wallet and then tell them to send the btc there. You can then set up something to check what transactions have been sent there.

Hey, talking about doing the whole thing in BTC, so for example there's a prize of 0.05BTC... 50 tickets at 0.0015BTC each, winner takes the 0.05BTC. That's a real basic example, and obviously I would need to work out the exact maths etc, but just as a quick example that's what i'm questioning. Thanks,
So i'm new here as of today, (was posting a lot a few years back before I lost interest and gave up, stupidly)... anyway, in that time I had a website built... www.gorafflin.com, the concept is pretty self explanatory and it was going well until I hit the issue of no marketing money to take it much further. There's only so far word of mouth will carry you!
Anyway, what I'm starting to wonder, as this isn't actually something I've come across with all of bitcoin gambling websites etc, is whether I can have this implemented to work with bitcoins, for example a raffle of 50 tickets for a set price, winner takes all but in bitcoins. Exactly the same concept as what I have now but with bitcoins. I would have zero idea where to start with implementing something like this, and I know it's a real early idea, but is there anyone out there that can provide some more expert advice on something like this?
Cheers
