#72I was expecting the whitepaper to explain how the technology works, but it seems to just be a business plan with very little detail on what the system actually does.
Thank you for the feedback! We'll be updating onsite content ASAP. Here's a post containing two medium posts and additional explanation on backbone of the platform. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26480748
How does the automated jury work?

#73Hi. This looks interesting. Have you considered integrating with Kleros for dispute resolution? And if not, why not?
Kleros has some complexities that we dont need, while we need some things that Kleros doesnt have, ie potential reviewers are not necessarily just token holders, but other users with reputation above certain level etc.

#74this is plain awesome, I've been looking for such platform with decent bc related jobs, I see there are quite a few, are there any restrictions to becoming a freelancer on the platform? geographical or otherwise?
Anyone who wants to work, can work.
That's the idea behind platform. There are no restrictions whatsoever.
I can provide personal example, where I couldn't find a work because I had to rely on third payment providers, who Serbian citizens, at the time I was 16 couldn't use. That was around 7 years ago.

#75This looks super nice!! How's the process for setting a task to "completed"? Can that be exploited? How does the Automated jury process work?
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…
As for the actual Forbes article I keep mentioning

#77This is pretty neat but can you help me understand the core difference between this and Braintrust? How are you making this easy/trustworthy for the demand side of the platform to use? My learnings from a few years in the space (for context, I was early at Gigster, then went to Germany to help build a freelance dev platform for the EU market and now am at Tribe.AI where we specialize in AI focused freelance work with…
There is a reputation system, so it is possible to see freelancer's history of past jobs and ratings. Also escrow can be used, so you wouldnt need to pay if job wasnt done according to specs. Dispute resolution being smart contract based is more transparent, and it is also great for ppl who prefer using crypto payments

I see where you are coming from. Eventually, CryptoTask will be seen as a regular freelance platform with low fees and accent on security for onsite deals. Technology, which does scare away potential clients, provides that. In case of a dispute, you won't spend days / weeks resolving the issue, it'll be automated and the outcome will be decided by real users.
> it'll be automated and the outcome will be decided by real users I don't understand how both these things can hold. Unless the "real users" are automated?
Automated in the sense that there is no company resolving disputes, but are resolved in a decentralized manner by other users who are selected automatically

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…
Thank you for sharing. I would love to know which app you use for invoices, contracts, etc.

Jobs have no value limit as we don't depend on a third party payment providers and limitations which come with them. Our focus is on becoming the leading freelance platform for blockchain jobs. As for on platform activity you may follow it at https://www.aeknow.org/contract/detail/ct_X3szYGp5irejPsowXp... as current representation of listed jobs isn't accurate, because filled job positions get removed from the list.…
Can you run a quick query in your database and answer my questions? There are plenty of blockchain jobs out there on other platforms. Why should I invest time in your platform? I'm looking for short contracts that are paying over $200 per hour. Is this something your platform can offer?
you can apply to https://app.cryptotask.org/en/tasks/872 or https://app.cryptotask.org/en/tasks/869 ..yea the price in this case is set to negotiable, but on most platforms even if you have set price it is usually negotiated before work starts, so nothing different here. Also as mentioned, there is significant traction on Croatian section, international section will have more and more jobs as we are focusing on growth now, so great time to build reputation as a freelancer
