@grayruby, what are your critiques of Microlancer?
I would hate for someone to build something new just to have the same issues.

My first reaction was well.
Maybe what happened there is what happens when you combine humans with a "mouse trap" like that one (microlancer).
We do far better as a community to fix what's already there than to start over every time the project hits this particular roadblock or filter.

It's not necessarily the platform itself. Seems ok.
But no one is posting anything anymore and even when they did there was no actual freelance jobs just micro task bullshit and I think that turns people off from using it. Maybe separating microtasks from actual freelance gigs is a good start and definitely need some promotion to bitcoin companies, builders, media creators would be good.
Right now I would be more likely to use stacker news or twitter to offer a freelance gig than microlancer.
Maybe it is as simple as being an addition to the jobs page here on Stacker or on Bitconer Jobs vs a standalone site at this time.
