So his idea is to just build a website that is a central place to make money online? Seems more like a wish than a plan. I know it may be hard to explain it, but if that is the case are the "customers" going to get it? I for one would need to see more specifics before donating money.

Is a $70 domain the only thing you need? What's your funding goal? You almost mentioned nothing about your project and who you are, I want to donate, but I need more info to persuade me.

better be careful SEC has the fbi arrest anybody running an unlicensed 'stock market' site look what happened to all the bitcoin securities sites (shut down)

if not then any. info domain for 25cents bought from namecheap will do if the site content is scam free ppl will use it. save the money for advertising

He is going to be extra careful about that situation, and he might not even do it. If you can help him with even a $1 donation, he will thank you very much. Also, thank you for the feedback.

What's the idea? I'd be more willing to donate a few dollars if I thought the idea had legs too.

You are clearly the "friend's son" and this is pointless.

It is basically a centralized place of making money. Have you ever gone on the internet, and found these ways to make money (only by being on the internet)? Then finding out they are just scams, or not really worth it? This kid wants to make a place where anyone can go on and sell/buy things, an online stock market with a different focus than companies, and many ways people can make money. That is all i know about it so far, and i cant wait to see it in action

@wanghq and @yataa . The kid only needs $70 to make the website. That is all he needs right now. He told me he was going to focus on making the website first, then getting more help (if he needs it) from there. I think his website is going to be something that changes the internet and ecommerce. He has been working on it for quite a while, and i'd hate to see it go to waste. Here is what it is about:
