This is scam or not?
Let's examine it. The business plan includes three parts:
1) Project sponsoring, having a majority vote of forum posters decide what companies to invest in:
Is the average forumite more likely to be an idiot or an experienced angel investor? This could be entertaining, so I'll give points for that.
2) Bitcoin mining farms:
This doesn't actually have anything to do with core competencies for creating a microjobs channel, but it is thrown in anyway.
Can Taskie compete with elite Chinese miners by having the right network of contacts to bribe local government officials for free electricity? If no, what is this dude's special advantage?
3) The microjobs channel:
Special value-added over established competitors! Get paid for your hard work in
ethereum TSK shitcoins (instead of bitcoins like on XBTfreelancer.com or elsewhere)! Why? Why not?
Defeat the starting Network Effect disadvantage by ... something.
The above assumes the business plan is actually realized.
But half of escrow funds (supposed to be above 200 Btc) may be released if the OP pays a fraction of 1 Btc to a coin-creation (cloning) service to get a generic shitcoin with a working wallet out. That can happen before any more unique features happen, beyond the existing website and beyond the present hosting of a copy of
simplemachines.org forum software.
The other half can be released as soon as some non-zero degree of bitcoin mining is claimed to be operational.
If the OP rides off into the sunset afterwards, leaving bagholders waiting on further developer updates...
Conclusion: There may be lolz to be had. Probably not by those investing bitcoins in this, though.
P.S.:
No, I don't know the OP is a scammer, although I'm pretty sure all the portraits are merely stock images looted from elsewhere (without anytime soon "a lawyer, an accountant, and an auditor" in any country, let alone multiple countries).
Just there is often almost no difference in net result between a scammer and someone with a totally unrealistic business plan. My rule is not to invest in any ICOs which are goldmines for applied sarcasm.
