I know that's our favorite platitude, but most of us would settle for something that works. Zero-to-one, not "zero-to-skip-one-somehow-while-going-to-infinity."

To date, bitcoin has had two kinds of marketplaces, freelance or otherwise:

  1. poorly implemented platforms
  2. over-engineered protocols that produce more landing pages and design documents than they do functional code

I like this idea a lot. Trust will be an issue, so reputations will probably be built slowly.

Look's like designers are getting tired of freelancers' centralized walled gardens #1067975 WorkOfSatoshi could be a good alternative to Dribble and others... let's see what they came up with

It’s been so many of these throughout the years.

I tried one for editing services and it was terrible

I know. I'm surprised no one has done a decent job with one yet.

There might be some fundamental problem with building them though that leads everyone to fail so hard.

yeah quality in these such platforms is horrible... which one have you tried?

I would have to go back and find the link it was so long ago.

It wasn’t microlancer

No middlemen
We take a tiny percentage

What do they think a middleman is?

reply

great point!

reply

As others have said after seeing many of these over the years, hopefully one catches on. Sure only one will!

I just hope this project works well as a great fan of sats, I have already joined the waiting list with my email. Let's hope for some earning opportunities in no time. 🤞

reply

Well hopefully one of these sites get popular, i'd love to see one compete against things like Fiverr

Excited to see platforms like WorkForSatoshi taking shape! A Bitcoin-only freelance marketplace is exactly the kind of tool we need to strengthen the circular economy. Cutting out fiat friction and middlemen not only empowers freelancers globally but also promotes borderless collaboration. Curious to see how it handles reputation, escrow, and dispute resolution key challenges in any freelance platform. If it nails the UX and trust layer, this could be a game-changer for sats earners everywhere. Watching closely!

What a brilliant idea. Absolutely love it.
