Thats interesting. I have contracted with multiple entities in the US for many years and they never asked for anything like that.

I think what they meant to say is the legal entity , rather than identity; a LLC or other business formation should suffice for most reporting requirements. There may be some exceptions in some areas, but I've contracted with with thousands of entities and never once had to verify the identity of their employees unless it was for individual access (passes/badges, etc.).

So basically any real job?

Might not even get there. It's almost all defi which is imploding ATM. All of the LooksRare job postings 404. The rest have application instructions which amount to "engage with our social media", which makes me wonder if the jobs ever existed or if it's exclusively a way to generate leads and the appearance of buy-in. The beauty of anon hiring is that we'll never know.

Hey! Good question. I wish I could give you a better answer but the truth is I don't know (yet). That's one of the reasons I built this. I want to learn how organizations deal with things like that, and share that knowledge so we can create best practices. I promise that soon as I know the answer, I'll circle back!

Maybe your company/service can be the middle-man. Offer varying levels of checks that are optional for the employer to require or the Contractor to fill out. Identity as a service. Have things like "This person is authorized to work for U.S. Companies", "This person is certified in x." Your company would check the verification and make sure it's valid but then delete the supporting documentation or anything identifyi…

At that point, you're like 95% of the way to reinventing temp agencies.

How can you be pseudonymous if you work in person like this post: https://anonfriendly.com/jobs/62a278494d70510878922082 It will be very weird if people call me badrabbit in person.

You must also report to work daily in a rabbit mask. Welcome to the future.

I don’t know how these companies actually do it, but I reckon the easiest way to set this up is if you register locally as an independent freelancer or equivalent. That way you take care of all that yourself. That does, of course, leave the question of how to actually get paid anonymously, as there are plenty of accounting requirements for businesses that aren’t compatible with anonymity here either.

I notice most of the jobs listed involve cryptocurrency, sometimes called "prosecution futures" by skeptics ;).

I'm not saying those jobs are scams, but what a coincidence.

I feel like HN has split crowds on this. I personally enjoy having a connection with my coworkers. I spend a lot of time in my week with them, and if I enjoy being around them, I consider that a win. Other people want as little to do with their coworkers as possible. Not saying either of these is bad or the "right mindset", but there is a difference in preferences here.

I have a lot of pseudonymous friends that I speak to on a regular basis. Anonymity doesn’t preclude friendship.

True. Another personal preference. That one is definitely a bit of a spectrum. I know my coworkers and if they have kids, but I don't interact with them on social media. There's a lot of variance in there, but to each their own.

Investigators would figure out who owns the blockchain addresses.

What if the employer is a smart contract with no owner? Or you're saying that the freelancer would be liable for corporate taxes of the smart contract?

haha, you got me. Guess this is completely legal after all
