We're happy to announce BTCworkers is finally available for public beta! BTCworkers is a freelance board that deals only in bitcoin. We've been working hard on it for the past few months and are finally ready for beta. Some features we have which other bitcoin freelance boards lack are full site SSL and payment escrow. Because we are in the beta stage, we want to get as many people using our site as possible. As such, we have removed all fees for the beta period. After beta, the fee will be 3% for anything more than one bitcoin; anything less will be free. We're hoping that by removing fees for the beta period, people will be more likely to try out our service. For more information, feedback, questions, or anything really, feel free to post here or email us at contact@btcworkers.com.

It looks shady Also you guys should allow btcs/hour or a min cause I just saw a listing for wordpress theme, I could do that but for 8-12 lump sum that super cheap and all these noobies will probably jump on that cutting out us older members. |

We may implement an hourly rate in the future, but it's not in our plans right now. There are many factors involved in charging hourly, especially automatically, that can make things very unnecessarily complicated. Over 9,000 jobs completed

Very excited to see this site, it looks nice. I hope you have plans to market it and spend the time needed to grow the userbase. It will need lots of pushing from your side, and a marketing budget as well. Make sure to update here on the forum frequently so people stay connected. Advertise with sites like bitcoinadvertisers.com, coinurl.com, and feedzebirds.com
Good luck!

Thanks for the kind words and suggestions! We definitely do need to work harder on marketing to grow the userbase. Those ad providers look like they will be helpful. |

Hey btcworkers,
I like the site and did a project through it which went great! I have two more listings though (one which is not so serious) and the site seems to be rather dead. Maybe it's just coders who are there now but the question is...
Do you guys have a marketing plan? Going to tweet new project listings or offer RSS feeds? Maybe come to #bitcoin and pimp the site a little....or here.
Wishing you the best,
weex

Hey weex. Replying after we got some advertising done.
About a month of advertising later we have a total of 61 listings created in total. There's about 10 public projects now although the original few have probably found freelancers elsewhere.
If you hadn't noticed, we already have an RSS feed so anyone can check for new project updates through it.
Thanks!
