Interesting concept and site, reminds me somewhat of Experts Exchange. I'm stuck on the same question as 98789. I don't know you from anywhere or any past projects you've done. My concerns would be:
1. Giving a correct answer, not getting it selected and therefore not getting paid...as 98789 mentioned.
2. Where are the funds escrowed and who controls them ultimately?
3. Can a release of escrow be forced after manual review?
4. Nothing against you, what's to stop staff from just running away with the funds should they become significant if the site grows and gains enough members that post questions?
Dear SamInTampa,
Thanks for your feedback and for finding the idea interesting.
1. The member that posted the inquiry decides to whom to give the reward. It stays there until someone is selected. It all comes down to the honesty of the members.
2. The website itself
3. No, only the member that posted the inquiry can release the reward.
4. There is no staff.
I am sure that you will agree that not everyone can be 100% satisfied of how a particular service works as everyone has his own opinions and how it could become better e.t.c. Some people would agree some others wouldn't.
Personally i think that this is the best way and its pretty straight forward.
If you want send me a pm with your username that you have in bitfortip to fund your account to try it out.
