I remember paying $900 for an assignment that I had for university. I paid him via paypal which was almost instant. This was a flat fee.
Now, in terms of pay per minute, I think most consultations would have an hourly rate. So what makes this app unique? I can easily pay per hour and get help from an expert.

Also, I understand that the client may default on payment, but in terms of minutes, a lot of consultations have "wasted" time that would add up. For example, a one hour session could only have 50 minutes of productive activity. Can Experty keep track of this? What if there are disputes between the client and knowledge expert?

Thanks.

Hey guys, I just watched a video on one of the ICOs: Experty. It’s basically a blockchain based app which serves the consultations market. For example, if you need consultation from a “knowledge expert” overseas, you would traditionally use calling apps such as Skype. But this would prove inefficient because the knowledge expert would be uncertain if he/she would receive the money on time and he/she may also need to wait a few for payment. Similarly, the client (person seeking the knowledge online) would be inconvenienced due to the call times being unpredictable, so they would not know how much to pay exactly beforehand.

Experty would allow instant payments which are based on the length of the call. Of course, the knowledge experts would set their rate and the process goes on from there. I think because it’s decentralized, it would help users on both ends instead of waiting for long payment transactions.

I still have to read more about their technology but it looks promising nonetheless. Their slogan is "Democratizing the consultations market" which I think is a unique initiative.
