just a question for the forum

[yahoo62278]

Why are people here so cheap? i read the service section almost daily, and everyone wants help with something but wants to pay pennies. 1$ an hour to browse internet and do a spreadsheet, or .001 to help with website, and another guy paying .01 to help find bugs on his dice site. theres multiple other offers on here but again most of them pay hardly anything.

im not posting to be an ass, i just wanna know how many of you grew up with parents who ran chinese sweat shops?

This forum is not really exclusive and you've got young people who are willing to work for shit all to get their first slice of bitcoin. People also do these sorts of things just to have something to do. It's better to earn money doing something then nothing. I personally would either work for a decent amount of money or do something for free.

The UN has not ratified a global minimum wage.

It's supply vs. demand.  There are a lot of people here with no jobs that have nothing to do all day.  If they have the skills, why not work for less than the competition?

if ya want good work, then my advice is to pay up. otherwise the only people who will be applying to help in most cases will be the bottom of the class types

That's disappointing, they really should make one.

Because he/she knows that his or her quality is "cheap"
If someone put high price than he/she can make a "high" quality

Sure, if you want a whole bunch of people to be unemployed. Minimum wage laws aren't coupled with forced employment laws.

Not necessarily true.

[b!z]

Because many of the members willing to work for less are 1) those in countries with a low average wage or 2) teenagers looking to earn money online.

Yep, a valid question.... with a lot of answers.
It's obviously supply vs demand. And demand is (too) high.
And why is that? Some have no job, no skills and a lot of time. They may even make multiple accounts only to get pennies.
Some dream that the BTC "dust" they get now may worth real money in a (very) few years.

Also I'd guess that not all those "transactions" are succesfull...

Yeah fair call, minimum wage is bad enough as it is in most countries if they have one.

im liking the responses so far. im still shocked that ppl can sleep at night offering so little money to others for quality work that in the real world(not internet) people would be paid very well for.

I personally don't really care about pay also because it advances my personal knowledge by creating things for other people. If I sat there just bitching that the money wasn't worth my time then I wouldn't learn anything. I used to spend hours making PHP scripts for $1, and due to that, I've heavily advanced my PHP knowledge since then.

while i agree with you that advancing your knowledge helping someone out for cheap is cool and all, but it still does not disguise the fact that the wages offered here are not good.

I wouldn't go out of my way to do a job here, but if I had free time then might as well. You won't really make a living wage on this forum by just crawling through the services thread though. People know they can get away with offering shit all, so why would they bother offering more ?

In the corporate world it's very cheap, but hey look what that brought us.
For me it's not all about money, it's also tributing and building the crypto community.
Ofcourse some people are taking advantage of the low rates, but in the end it's all about supply and demand.

[AleCrypt0]

Free market makes this possible.

For a side is a good thing, for the other not so much. As everything in life thou.

[Malin Keshar]

because there are people from all around the world here


$1/hour is more than some 3th world people earn, because the dollar is overvalued for them

[sifter]

Earning $1 here for 3rd world people is a lot.

or

Some teens are looking for money, like students etc.
