Hi guys!

Just as a FYI: Both FreelanceForCoins and Taskopus (Crypto crowdsourcing marketplace) have integrated FixedFloat as the payment method. So, thanks to you we can now accept 16 types of coins.

I believe FreelanceForCoins is the first platform where one is able to pay freelancers using 16 different cryptocurrencies thanks to your platform. 👍

Cool, did you really design purse.io? Nice! It would be great if you could join us at FreelanceForCoins.

Great portfolio. Would be great to see you at FreelanceForCoins!

Hi Emil!

Just as FYI - you can also add your offer to FreelanceForCoins.com

We also have an affiliate program. Refer a freelancer who publishes an offer or a buyer who publishes a project - get $2 in crypto for each user.

Thanks! We certainly hope so

It's a good question. I've always wondered that myself. Fiverr for example used to accept Bitcoin, but then stopped. I think there are two major problems with accepting crypto 1) crypto accounting in USA and taxation is not very friendly if you are acting as an escrow, seeing how it's mostly trated as commodity (BTW we have a dedicated category for cryptocurrency accepting accountants)  2) the number of customers willing to actually use cryptocurrency is really low, that's why you need a place which concentrates solely on those buyers, like FreelanceForCoins.com

No, not really. There is a number of similar sites, at least two of them are active - xbtfreelancer and cryptogrind (though lately I've been unable to connect to latter). We will definitely try to have a better UI and user experience. Stay tuned

Thank you! 170+ offers so far!


Sure!

Also, some nice feedback from one of the freelancers on the site!

Please check my edit above. I think you have an error in your system and you might be losing money. I'd be happy to return the difference.

If you need to contact me - hello@freelanceforcoins.com

Excellent site. Did some small exchange as a test. Exchange rate was impressive!

EDIT: Actually, I think you might have an error somewhere..
The exchange was done at rate of: 1 BCH = 182.754 TUSD
According to https://coinmarketcap.com/converter/
1 Bitcoin Cash (BCH) = 128.06080259 TrueUSD (TUSD)

(order id: BRQGAE)

Your exchange rate is WAAAY too high. You are losing money.

As a small update:

We have categories now (https://freelanceforcoins.com/categories), better notifications (https://freelanceforcoins.com/i/unread.png), scopes and time limits for invoices (https://freelanceforcoins.com/i/new_invoice.png), which is a small step towards better project management and dispute resolution.

More than 140 freelancers have signed up so far (or have been invited by us) to offer their services for crypto https://freelanceforcoins.com/offers

You can add your offer too here: https://freelanceforcoins.com/offers/create

Some of the categories we have: Web Programmers (for crypto, of course), translators, web designers, freelance writers, illustrators, logo designers, SMM specialists, WordPress specialists, mobile app developers, virtual assistants and many more

Can you maybe send a screenshot of the error? We have a lot of people daily on Google Analytics... There is also a problem that IP that we use is already on some e-mail SPAM blacklists (since before we got IP).. Maybe you have some blocking based on those lists? Because it doesn't really seem to be down https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/freelanceforcoins.com


Yep, we understand that and we are actively working to bring people in. Yesterday we've celebrated a small victory of 100 sign ups.

Hi, cheezcarls!

Thanks for the questions!

1. Like I said, all tokens and coins. Anything that a buyer and seller can agree on.

See here: https://freelanceforcoins.com/i/new_invoice.png and here: https://freelanceforcoins.com/i/anycoin.png
Currently it's all manual. So, buyer and seller manually check whether the coins/tokens moved and click the appropriate buttons. We will have better integrations in some near future (i.e. automatic detection of transfers/confirmations via respective blockchains. Something tells me that 95%+ of services will be sold for BTC unless fees rise dramatically.)


2. We are accepting all of them already if it's not listed (Top250 on CoinGecko) - just type in the ticker and go ahead.

3. Well, our team previously managed a fleet of 100+ servers for a huge retailer (40000+ employees), so we know a thing or two. But of course it's not like we're indestructible. I mean even gov'ts with unlimited budgets and Facebook leaks data sometime. But I believe we are protected enough for a site like that (throttling mechanisms, suspicious activity notifications to internal team Slack, etc..)
We've had an aggressive scan yesterday and were notified by our systems to watch in real-time (SQL injections, XSS, password guessing attempts). Sadly the attacker was mostly throttled and mostly received "Not available" responses. So it wasn't that fun to watch.

Reliability is probably less of a concern for now. I mean even if our uptime is 99% and not 99.9999% - the worst that can happen is that people will get their messages a bit later. We don't handle the coins, so we can't lose them.

In the future there are plans to offer optional escrow services (for now we redirect users to BitcoinTalk thread on that), that would probably require more thinking and security.

Of course, I should add, that as this service grows - we will be investing more into reliability and security. My statement about "99%" is good for when there are 100 freelancers on the site. When we have something like 10000 - we really need to be closer to 99.99% or .999 uptime.

4. We have a few ideas: paid (optional) escrow services for 1-2%; paid tests to verify your knowledge; paid bumps of your offering to the top of the lists, highlight it. I think it's a bit too early to talk about making money. First we need to make this thing so useful that people would really-really want to join the site. For that we need to invite hoards of freelancers and make sure people can sort through them (i.e. figure out who is worth their money, who is not).

All of them - anything the buyer and the seller agree on. Top250 has auto complete support, anything else just type in the ticker.


This is very strange indeed. We've had a small DOS attack recently, maybe you've tried during that time. It was pretty short though.

We are launching a marketplace for freelancers accepting crypto payments (any cryptocurrency is supported).

We do have an Affiliate Program

Why would we need another one? First of all, many other services look seriously abandoned.. And probably they are. The active ones are severely lacking in features or just plain hard to use.

Here is a screenshot from one of "active" freelancing sites: https://i.imgur.com/fGe5Z9O.png Note the size of scrollbar - the skills dropdown is endless... And skills... Abaqus? Is that the thing you use to count things with the small rocks on the string?... Well, it's not that bad

We hope to change that. We hope to have a better UI, more freelancers, more trust.

We hope to build something that will be as reliable as big freelancing sites to use. Those sites don't care for Bitcoin and crypto, because it's small, but we do.

Our site is one week old, but we managed to get about 50+ freelancers to offer their services on the site.

We hope to continue that way.

Oh yes, 0% fees.

You can post your offers as a freelancer or your projects as a buyer.

We don't have an escrow for now, so we direct all users to BitcoinTalk's escrow services https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5047302.0.
