Freelancing & blockchain

[aingm]

Good day everyone.

I thank all the users who are not indifferent to this topic.

There is a need to create a PURE freelance service, with really beneficial terms of cooperation for both the customer and the contractor (including interaction processes, certainty in the process of work, etc.) and financial instruments. In addition, what is especially important is to protect the customer and the contractor as much as possible from scammers, with which the freelance niche is teeming (more than 10 years on freelance).

Safe, etc. Deals for a long time do not give any guarantees either for the customer or for the contractor, pure PR and nothing more. Fraudsters use this factor very actively (especially in the last 2 years).

I really want to use blockchain tools effectively and provide decent quality and earnings for both parties.

Therefore, I propose to discuss this issue and solve it (including by attracting funding to the project).

Have a good day everyone.

Imho you have to properly ask yourself what you need blockchain for and how you expect this system work. Maybe express your ideas so we don't have to guess.
I'll write down some basics/ideas I think they may be helpful for you.

While it can be great for tracking the history of a task, it will be slower than a traditional DB. And editing existing entries will probably not be possible in na simple way.
Then you have to think it over who will mine that blockchain, since without a proper reward nobody moves a finger and a proper reward for miners may mean less reward for the actual freelancers, which is not good.
And if you want centralized, internal "blockchain", imho you better go for an old school DB.

Then the payments. If you want to allow payments in crypto, you don't have to make your blockchain, instead wallets of the actual most proeminent cryptocurrencies will do.
All you have to do is to setup properly the wallets in your system to allow you act as an escrow in case of problems (2-of-3 multisig wallets may do).

All in all, I have the feeling you want to attract some funds by calling this "blockchain project", although the key features most probably don't need blockchain. But maybe I'm wrong.

On the one hand, what you said is true, these are all known problems. However, it does not reflect the actual specifics of the functioning of freelance sites. Excuse me.

I am sure it is quite normal that I propose not only to discuss, but also to raise funds to solve the problem.

Sure, you have all the right. It's a free speech forum. I've hoped to make constructive criticism.
But if you say that "these are known problems", maybe you can dive a bit deeper with the description to allow better/more "spot on" answers?

Basically it would help to understand how you plan/intend to "use blockchain tools effectively and provide decent quality and earnings for both parties".
Or maybe you consider I'm too picky and then let's see what other answers you get.

Criticism is normal, this forum thread is open for this.
