We just launched a new certified Bitcoin talent feature on Plebwork.com! After being in early access for a few weeks, Bitcoin companies can now work with the most trusted talent, freelancers and agencies.

For businesses: It’s now much easier to find and hire great talent for your Bitcoin projects! Certified talent makes hiring safer and faster for part-time and contract work. Quickly find great on-demand talent that is not available anywhere else.

For freelancers: A certified talent has better visibility and reach on the marketplace, and will have more communication features to help create the best experience for people building on Bitcoin.

We'd love to hear from the Stacker News community what you think of our product, and if we can help Bitcoin businesses as well as talent, freelancers and agencies with anything you can think about. We're building this marketplace for Bitcoiners.

You can read more on our new blog: https://www.plebwork.com/blog/work-best-bitcoin

Getting Certified

Any registered talent with a completed profile can apply to get certified by scheduling a call with the Plebwork team. It’s super simple. Over the call, the talent background, skills and experience are reviewed in order to give the certified badge.

I would say giving ppl the option to show their POW is better than this certified, I would rather check the work/skills of the talents than trust someone verified for me, and why bring more work to your team with all these calls:p

Haha you're absolutely right... we are experimenting with certified profiles because we already allowed people to show POW with a profile description and external links such as Dribbble, Linkedin, Twitter, Substack, etc. but it feels not enough at the moment. Talent profiles also lack reviews/ratings as very few actually completed work on the marketplace at the moment.

We thought about allowing talent to add a custom portfolio sections on their profiles with image uploads and descriptions for each projects they want to showcase. Would that be what you're referring to with POW?

yes! a small section where ppl can click and have a quick look at the vibe, like a first filter, then go to see the links later for more verifying.

Very cool. Nice design.

Is there no way to browse without signing up?

50 sats \ 0 replies \ @thibm_ OP 19 Jul

Thanks! Yes you can browse everything without signing up. Anything you felt was limiting you? Of course, if you want to chat and get to work with clients and talent you need to log in for now.

Awesome... this is the way.

All of this stuff is important for Bitcoin to succeed. You people are doing amazing work. Congrats for the launch, I wish you the best.

Thanks @beorange, I couldn't agree more with you. Bitcoin is a great way to unlock work on the internet with awesome strangers you know very little about. I'm hopeful we can do more things with escrow services to make work more milestone-driven, and less reliant on credentialism.

Thanks! Great job! Can a normie register there? I mean if I wanna promote my talent of other things than coding?

Thanks! Of course normies and pre-coiners are welcome. What skills do you have or that you'd like to list? We have 465 skills and counting, mostly focused on "digital work".

I think your initiative is excellent, keep going.

Thanks, means a lot. Anything you'd like to see that we don't have?

10 sats \ 1 reply \ @Coinsreporter 18 Jul

Only for plebs?

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @thibm_ OP 19 Jul

Mostly! We decided to focus on the bitcoin industry, which is quite niche obviously. But we may very well serve other industries that have issues with payment processors for example. I think working on the internet with strangers is enabled by bitcoin and there are many industries that could benefit from it.

Needs a nostr login option!

0 sats \ 5 replies \ @thibm_ OP 18 Jul

Yes, 100% we'll be working on this. Also I'd like to find a way to not just be a central server hosting bitcoin jobs and freelancer profiles. We'll have to take more time and energy to invest in building a more robust infra.

Have you considered building the whole thing on nostr?

0 sats \ 3 replies \ @thibm_ OP 19 Jul

We thought about nostr, but not enough to be quite honest. We wanted to build a first basic product to get the marketplace going and then invest more time to add nostr. What do you think nostr could help us fix that we don't do right now?

20 sats \ 2 replies \ @0245bdaef2 19 Jul

The whole thing really.

Identity, reviews, discovery, backend. Run a proper relay and then push the rest client-side or build DVMs to meet specific needs. Hell you don’t even have to run the relay to get it started.

Once you see it, it can’t be unseen.

Right. Best way to get started building on Nostr?
