Like how Upwork "works"?
There's an issue, where high quality freelancer, doesn't want to apply for low paying/quality jobs to build credibility on the platform. Potential solutions are in development - one having to do with a blockchain identity hence the partnership with Hypermine https://cryptotask.medium.com/new-partnership-cryptotask-hyp...

I went to the site to look for cryptography related jobs. The shady postings without payment information, qualifications, or any other real information all made sense when I saw that the "crypto" was for cryptocurrencies. One post wanted someone to create a coin in a month, but the rate was "negotiable". Hucksters (the posters).
Appreciate the feedback! When you put it that way, situation is ridiculous. That's the content quality issue. These jobs were manually approved and are legitimate, however due to lack of information they come of as shady. We'll add guidelines for clients to follow when creating a job listing and probably issue a requirement too. Accounts with no profile picture, no information on them, posting jobs titled with " NFT…
What appeared earlier to be the site's intent, now seem to be growing pains, after your explained the situation. I hope the site works well.

> If you sign up on the platform, you can apply for a job, complete it and get 100% of the task value. What about fees for transactions, fees for converting crypto into real money etc?
You'd get 100% of the task value credited to your wallet. Process and expenses of converting cryptocurrency to "real money" (cash?), vary from an individual and countries have different cryptocurrency laws. In Serbia, you'd end up paying 15% of the sold value to tax agency. There's been a rise in OTC trades allowing for 1:1 conversion. Transaction fees wise, ETH fees are quite high at the moment. It'd cost you around…
You may want to try to clarify that on your landing page.
> "real money" (cash?)
Any form of currency that I can use for things that I need to buy.

The fundamental issue may be that most high quality developers don't need or use platforms like this.

Here's a quote from a Forbes article: "With a review system like that of CryptoTask, reviewers are token holders that stake an amount equal to the task value that they are putting themselves forward for as a potential reviewer. It means that being a stakeholder, you already have a chance of being selected. That chance is directly proportional to that individual's stake, so this prevents sybil attacks. If they do, how…
Could you elaborate on this? > If a reviewer votes against the consensus or does not vote at all, they do not lose any certain percentage of their staked amount. Does that mean they don't lose anything? Or that they lose some amount, but that amount is not a simple fraction of staked amount?

"When my bank says ... for free..." is what I wrote
Then to be just as pedantic back, those checks aren't free and you're paying more for them than I am. But I was talking to georgyo, if you try to insert yourself, stay on topic. It's only polite.

Do you get most work through marketplaces like this or via people you wish have a connection with? I'm really interested in knowing if you could make a "good" living on these marketplaces if you want to sustain a middle class lifestyle as an adult with kids in Canada or the US (let's leave it the most expensive real estate regions). I briefly reviewed this space several years ago and didn't think it would pay enough…
I am a full-time freelancer (cloud arc not dev). I started cold turkey last April when my firm lost tons of gigs. I started on market places and through that built relationships with other firms that didn't have a cloud architect and they have come back to me with additional work. I have also landed gigs through contacts. Once I got the ball moving it has been mostly non-stop. The taxes and insurance aren't as bad as…
