This looks really interesting. I think I get what you are trying to do. Just want to give a bit of feedback: Even after clicking through "Learn More" and your FAQ, I still wasn't sure what this is or how it works. I am familiar with online currencies and basic income, so I would imagine a visitor to the site less familiar with this stuff would be even more confused. I get it's an "experiment" and TNSTAAFL and it's still very new. But maybe a sample explanation of how a new user might sign up, receive coins and then use them somewhere would help clarify things.

Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciated it. Is there anything in particular that you would suggest to add to the landing page to clarify it? I was hoping the graphics would give users a basic idea on how exactly it worked. I would like to focus on making the intent as clear as possible so I'm all ears as far as suggestions go. I would like to make the process more clear with an example, I think this will be much easier to accomplish once I can get a few vendors to agree to use the service for some small items. The site was just released today which is why it's difficult for me to implement this currently. I do agree that having instant feedback of being able to sign up and immediately use coins is crucial for people less familiar with Basic Income to grasp the idea quickly so I will make this a focus of mine.

  I understand this is very new. As more people visit the site hopefully a lot of feedback will stream in for you. I'm just one person so I can't really suggest what you should add, only where I found things wanting. If you aggregate feedback from visitors and do your A/B testing or whatever system you use, that should point to the right places to make changes. For example: Your landing page says "You can do whatever you want with them". Imagine a person not familiar with any of this stuff, I could imagine such a person asking themselves, "what can I do with them?" and "what's the catch?" For someone familiar with online currencies and/or basic income, I could imagine such a person clicking around and finding no info or evidence of a back-end infrastructure that would support this idea. Nor is there any explanation how you expect to give away something every day and have users or vendors want to accept such a thing for something they do know the value of. Play all product launch games you want, but you are asking for people's real first and last name and their email, I don't see experienced early-adopters giving this up without more proof of concept and knowing more about you guys and your plans. I wish you a lot of success, just wanted to point out two groups of users who might be more apprehensive to sign up and why.
