User information is secured using encryption with SHA512. We do not store funds on the same server as the site database so in the event that the site is compromised, neither funds or user information will be useful or available to attackers.
Buyers and Sellers communicate through the website. Email notifications will be sent when gigs are purchased.
Buyers are protected from fraudulent service providers through escrow, the number of days specified for delivery would be stated and locked in once the order has been made. In the event that there is a dispute, the order can either be cancelled by the seller or the dispute is raised and we will look at the dialogue ourselves to resolve the matter.
This is the information I was looking for, thank you. Essentially you've created a token to go alongside your/BitHire's centralized web implementation of a service marketplace which happens to depend on the HIRE token. I was trying to understand how the services BitHire offers relates to the functionality of the coin/the blockchain and your reply helps me to better understand (per my understanding- they aren't related outside the fact $HIRE is used to facilitate payment).
Can you elaborate on the "bitcoin integration" you mentioned? How does that work with $HIRE? is it just an exchange based on current HIRE/BTC rates or something more?
Thanks, wish you and other freelancers on the the BitHire platform the best of luck. Extra exposure never hurt a freelancer afaik
