Whitepaper was recently released:
https://github.com/LivelyGig/Documents/blob/master/LivelyGig_Whitepaper.pdf?raw=trueAbstract: A decentralized employment market that helps freelance and other workers find gigs offered by employers would allow these parties to be introduced when mutually beneficial and to form social contracts without the need to pay intermediaries. This type of market solution doesn't exist today because two of the enabling technologies – decentralized protocol stacks and Bitcoin – are just now ready for wider adoption. Imagine what it would mean to put these ingredients together along with existing job websites and task management solutions in such a way as to leverage the strengths of each – direct connection without intermediaries, with low friction, and healthy supply & demand – to create a new synergy. So what else is needed? A set of decentralized employment protocols must be specified and then implemented on a technology stack that is up to the challenge. Let’s explore the feasibility of such a decentralized system.
