Thanks guys!
2  Economy / Service Announcements / Fleacoin - a bitcoin microtask board on: March 15, 2014, 06:29:40 PM
Hi all,
Excited to announce my latest project here:

fleacoin.com

The first 100 users will receive $1 of bitcoin (.0016)

How it works:
The site aims to be a marketplace for smaller "micro" tasks that can be paid for in bitcoin. Payments are sent voluntarily so jobs should be small enough that if for some reason payment is not sent, it's not the end of the world. Payment history is public on the user's profile, so you can also verify that the task submitter is reputable before responding to their request. Multiple payments can be sent per task.

This was created for the coinbase bithackathon contest, so I'm looking for some initial users, feedback, and suggestions.

Oh and if any bugs are discovered, I've offered to pay a small amount for each. I'll scale the payout with the severity of the bug.

Thanks!

I have read that KnC will honor refunds up until ship date. This means you could ditch out if the ship date and difficulty make for bad ROI. Does anyone know if other manufacturers offer a similar refund policy? I really like it because 1) it's a hedge against risk of delays and 2) should incentivize KnC bringing product to market as fast as possible. Otherwise it seems too much like a crapshoot IMO

We've added new "Real Trading" feature that allows any algorithm to trade at MtGox via their API. To start real trading:
- register at http://cryptotrader.org & verify your email
- upgrade account (costs $10/month)
- backtest your algorithm
- click "Trade" button, then go to "Real Trading" tab and fill the account form with your MtGox API secret & key.
- start trading bot by clicking 'Create'
pulsecat, I just tried your site out and it looks very promising. However I don't see any option to upgrade my account. Was this option removed or is there some other reason I am not seeing it?

You're on a Bitcoin forum.


Yes, privacy is important. In the age of NSA hanging out in replicas of Picard's starship Enterprise bridge, sitting in the captain's chair probably reading our Gmail, I think it is relevant and volume will continue to increase within private transactions.

A "good reason to use these services" would simply be that you want to acquire BTC. There is nothing illegitimate about acquiring BTC in a private manner. Have you ever been to a garage sale or purchased something from a friend? Or is it simply that you must only use official channels to acquire or do a thing?

Thanks for the response BitCoiner2012. I understand the value of privacy and that buying/selling locally is totally legal, it just seems like an inconvenient and potentially sketchy thing to do for all of one's exchanges compared to buying/selling through a major exchange. Aren't you still required to pay taxes on any profits? How private is that?

What is the appeal of services like localbitcoins in the US? Is privacy that important to people? Personally, I don't have a good reason to use these services but I am curious to hear from people that do
