I looked at the available writers on the platform. They all have broken english in their descriptions. I know it's hard to set up a marketplace but you might want to make sure your early providers have at least the bare minimum of skill someone would hire
Nice to see different use cases, what's the advantage of paying with your token vs using a stablecoin for payment?

We are about to resolve content quality issues in future updates. CryptoTask platform would take 0% if you don't use escrow system, giving you 100% of completed task value. If you decide to use an escrow system, platform would take 3% from total task value. About 70% - There's affiliate system, which allows for freelancer who can't find a job themselves, rely on a headhunter type of users, who'd connect freelancer wi…
I still don't get how the platform would take only 3% but I only get 70% of the value.
- keep 100% green you don't use their escrow system
- keep 97% if you do use their escrow system
- keep 70% if you need someone to find you jobs
How does that work from a tax point of view? I guess you have to pay income tax when you receive the tokens for the job, then capital gain tax when you convert to USD/EUR?
For this sort of contractual work they'll probably bill and pay in an algorithmic stablecoin which is intended to track the dollar. Regardless of the taxable nature of such a thing (which may or may not be a security because it's designed not to change value based on the actions of others) it should simplify the issue by at least not changing wildly from day to day.

How do you handle fraud, feedback and dispute resolution?
At the moment - tasks are manually approved. This is bound to change as escrow system gets developed. You can find development roadmap found about.cryptotask.org Feedback is added with after a task is successfully completed, which over time would create high quality freelancers from ones who don't perform so well. As for the dispute system - I'll copy previously provided answer taken from Forbes article: "With a revi…
With that said, how does this scale to handling more complex tasks that require more back and forth? There's the "fuzzy" area of problem solving as tasks get larger and less clearly defined. Is that out of scope for now to keep focus is on the low hanging fruit?
I would love to see something like this completely deprecate MTurk and low wage Upwork.

A stablecoin isn’t different from other crypto assets from a tax point of view (at least in the US and Germany).
This looks really cool. Congrats on the launch! I've always wondered how blockchain companies consider branding around their tech vs their outcomes. Like there are a ton of great outcomes here for using blockchain tech, but I find "crpyto" products intimidating to use, even as a techy.
