[ANN] 🤝 heymate - a deal-closing platform for micro-entrepreneurs 🔨

[squikyduck]

Who will be your app stakeholders?

The primary stakeholders in the heymate app ecosystem are:

- The Consumer (aka the customer or client) who pays for a service that is needed, or the buyer/renter of some goods/assets;
- The Provider (aka worker, producer, freelancer, etc.) that receives payment for a service that is rendered, or the seller/rentee of some goods/assets;
- heymate, the platform/tool that provides the matchmaking, deal-closing, payment (in HEY tokens) and dispute resolution infrastructure.

Additional stakeholders can be:

- Online Platforms, that offer opportunities for Consumers and Providers to advertise their needs or capabilities, and use the matchmaking, deal-closing and payment infrastructure provided by heymate.
- Value-added Service Providers that offer additional, complementary services to heymate users to augment a contract between a Consumer and Provider (e.g., insurance, identity verification), or additional incentives (e.g., loans) to continue using the heymate tool.

thanks for reply
And one more question: how will platform users get their payments for the work done?

Heymate will use smart contracts implemented on a blockchain to record aspects of an accepted offer that result in an ongoing job, using the logic of smart contracts to hold the payment in escrow and programmatically define the conditions for releasing it. Thus, workers need not have any concerns about getting paid. Also, when the smart contract releases payment, the transfer to a user’s wallet is near-instantaneous — avoiding the payment delays and high transaction fees of traditional money transfers.

Hello, team!

Do you plan other functionalities for your app?

[heymate_official]

Hello, team!

Do you plan other functionalities for your app?

In the next stage of its development of the platform, heymate will allow its users to access optional, value-added services offered by third parties through its platform such as getting short-term or on-demand insurance, micro-loans, partaking in savings plans for micro-revenues, and contributing/donating to pre-vetted social and environmental projects.

Heymate’s founders recognize that every heymater is a small business that needs to manage its ongoing offers and contracts, its accounting and tax payments. To this end, the heymate platform will provide directly or through integration with third parties, tools that professionally manage these administrative aspect.

Many people working in unfulfilling office jobs don’t realize that their skills and talents could be applied to the gig economy to earn their living.

Experiment with different types of gig-work to find out what works best for you, and be sure to use heymate as your personal gig economy sidekick!

Greetings! Is there any Translation Bounty? How does a Portuguese translation of the White Paper sound for the project?

•   We are a brand new Brazilian group willing to establish ourselves on the market as the main source of PT translations (and other languages in the future) of White Papers and documents in general.
•   It's a great opportunity for projects to expose themselves to a fast-growing market (the cryptocurrency market had a 40% expansion in the period of Jan-Jul18 in Brazil) where only ~5% of the people have a good understanding of the English language;
•   You can find us on Twitter as @PortCrypto, reach out to us at cryptoport.services@gmail.com or even see our already done jobs on Google Drive!

Best regards, CryptoPort!

Hi guys, can you please explain, is your platform meant to coordinate the full lenght of a deal, whatever type is needed? Or do you only provide the 'bridge' between two parties of a deal?

Thanks for asking! The heymate app can be used to create, negotiate, close and administer any type of peer-to-peer digital contract. So to answer your question, yes, it will coordinate the full length of a deal. The app, however, isn't a marketplace, but offers for work made on the platform can be shared on any marketplace, as well as email, social media, etc., as well as offline and in person.

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

No problem Thank you for giving a clear answer. I have no further questions.
First I will look into your project further, I questions com up, I will ask them.

Yes, it is important to first educate and explain the community in simple language,

Well done.

The gig economy has matured in recent years, since it broke out on into the mainstream market.

The first generation of gig-workers and side-hustlers allowed people to earn money for low skill work. The second generation is opening the doors to talented and skilled individuals looking to earn their living from their passions.

The Uber and Lyft model don’t suit the needs of many potential gig-workers, and in order for the gig economy to reach those people, it needs to close its efficiency gap.

The heymate application takes the gig economy to its next phase by closing the efficiency gap by minimizing the amount of unpaid administrative work gig-workers need to do, and create simple, easy to negotiate, legally enforceable peer-to-peer contracts in under 20 seconds.

Can you give a simple example of job I can do using your app?

Can you give a simple example of job I can do using your app?

Heymate will allow its users to do provide or receive pretty much any service they can think of. For example, users could earn money from doing long-form professional services, such as roofing or lawn maintenance, as well as short-form jobs like walking dogs or washing cars. The platform will also allow people to sell or rent their property.

I think that a big barrier for the market to thrive is trust and settlement, how do you help with that?

Heymate uses the blockchain to create professional-level contracts and escrows payments in advance to ensure settlement once the terms and conditions are completed. The largest barrier is having a scalable blockchain technology, but we are currently in the process of working with partners to make that possible. However, the technology is already ready and is ready to be shown to the public.

I see your point. Aslo want to know if heymate platform can work for the unbanked?

Heymate provides customers everything they need to run their business, so it could potentially be used by those who are currently unbanked.

Did you do your app testing?

The Minimum Viable Product “MVP” alpha version was released on the 5th September.

do you have clients already? can you disclose the current registrants on your platform? when will you show the technology to the public?

[heymate_official]

What's blockchain use in your project?

The heymate app uses blockchain technology (a decentralized, distributed ledger, smart contracts and crypto tokens) to gain the following advantages over current solutions:

- Immutable records of accepted offers.
- Automation of payments
- Transacting using crypto tokens
- Integrating with other 3rd party blockchain-based value-added services
