The site you linked literally looks so pretty because of CSS  .

You took 20 minutes to read that lol, the word dumb is an understatement.

What you are saying makes no sense. So let's just assume a hypothetical situation. If a person makes a post just to troll, and it takes people lots of time to research on it and get back. Wouldn't that person deserve a ban?

There is no room for ambiguity here, you would get banned on every freelance site on the world.

Even if you don't agree with the definition of what a scam constitutes and just think of it as bilking people, it would still be a horrible thing to waste time in this fashion and then just give trolling as your excuse. Its funny as long as you do it an innocuous and short way, but if you are trolling in this instance, then you deserve all the criticism and most likely a ban. So, I hope you are sincere.

Apart from that your view is erroneous, it can very easily take a long amount of time. Remember, that you have linked a very complex web app and have done no expounding at all. If someone is seriously considering taking up the project, they will need to ask themselves a lot of questions to give a price estimate, viability and time frame.


Its better to give a price range. So people know that if your project is worth their time or not.

How is it reasonable for a seller to ask for a number for communication outside the platform, no matter how trusted they are, if Binance itself doesn't allow it.

Even if someone's intention was genuinely that, I would still stay entrenched on the side of caution. Because there's no way for me to know that, and the harms are much more serious (communication getting dubious, phishing) than the potential benefits (convincience). At the end of the day, moving outside a platform to do communication is very bad for escrows and can seriously harm you, even at the price of occasional convenience.

Yeah, they probably do sell your info, but that doesn't justify me giving my phone number to someone for whom I can't just see a valid reason for asking it and actually can do bad things with it, no matter the scale.

I agree their whole statement doesn't make much sense. But I guess the difference between buying and selling is that, in the former you are supposed to make the first move and its the opposite in selling.

If you can't trust Binance (the party who is supposed to be escrow), why would someone trust you and what are you doing there in the first place? The whole point of escrow is to keep all the communication there on the platform and fairly solve the issue in case of a dispute.

1- I think the fact you able to start a buying transaction is a decent indication of whether someone is serious or not, because they will need to have actual funds in the first place to start the transaction. And if somebody that has bad intentions can go that far, they can give you an anonymous number too (which I think is the easier step here by far). In that case an escrow will need to step in any way, but generally the fact that you are able to start a transaction is enough to confirm if they are serious. And you going out of your way to start asking for numbers actually harms the process.

2- I think you can inform them about the transaction via binance communication just fine??

3- Your third point is interesting as well, you do have access to them via binance communication. But I guess you are talking about someone who is trying to scam and you want to have their number. Again it does nothing to the process, leave it to the escrow and they will handle it. You going out of your way to talk to them outside of binance communication only makes matters difficult and in case of a genuine misunderstanding, could be considered harassment (not saying you are doing that here).

Even if someone does add it is a prerequisite to be paid, and you imprudently accept the deal, I think its perfectly valid for you to stand your ground and just refuse to be compliant in that situation. Because the rule absolutely doesn't make sense. And I can't see if it has got much to do with the matter at hand, which is trading currency.

Yes, this has a scummy feel to it. If you ever do find yourself in this situation though, stand your ground!. And at least let the escrow people try to quell the situation in a fair way.

If you are feeling like that from time to time, I don't think there is much bad with that. But what you should have is hobbies/activities to fill your time with. Don't overthink too.

Electrum has been around for a long term and is open source.

I am the only that gets paid in bitcoin, but everybody else gets paid in different way rather than a ubiquitous payment method for every employee. They have a lot of employees from underdeveloped nations, so you have to be open to options.

I get the full amount without any curtailing. Its a medium sized but successful company, I imagine finances aren't very hard for them to manage.

And I ask you, why are you this dubious of my post? I have answered all of the questions already I think except the country part. And I think it still allowed for a lot of productive discussion.

What if I am simply excited to tell people about what I think of BTC, Did that possibility occur too you at all? You can check my profile and see I am serious person. I am not going to egregious lengths just to pass your extremely perusal bar.

My Salary is in GBP, so they convert it into BTC every time, buy that amount and send it to me. Does that address your concerns?

Thanks for the good wishes.

Some people have raised this point, is it really hard to buy BTC for someone who lives in a developed country? I understand that there are some documentation stuff that you have to go through once, but that's all. Buying and sending it is pretty easy. My employer is in England. I know we have this belief that credulous people have some inane apprehensions about crypto and its mostly true belief I guess. But these guys work with computer technology and have a lot of knowledge about it. Its not like I am convincing a grocery shop owner to do it.

And also to add some context, I am not the only employee who is from another country. They have a lot of employees like that (pretty standard practice for web development agencies all over the world). They haven't dealt an employee with crypto before, but I am sure they have dabbled in lot of payment methods and are very open. I think you have to be if you are employing people like this.

Thanks, I appreciate it!

I think generally companies encroach on their employees a lot. But this hasn't been the case working for this one, and normally I am able to convince them on something if they can see how it would be of huge benefit for me.
