Clients are forthright. They do what they say, and they don’t mess you around.

that might be the most astonishing thing for normies, honestly. Family friend was big-eyes what-tha-fuck?! when I told her I've never had a formal contract or payments in escrows etc ("sometimes people even pay me in advance," I said, "people who've never met me and don't know me"). Admittedly, she's a paralegal-something at the equivalent of DA's office so yeah, go figure.

Not sure why that is... because we so far only attract honest people, or because it's such a small place comparatively that ruined reputation would fuck you royally?

My theory is that if you have a truly aligned mission and incentives with clients, you can be open, honest, and effective.

Signal and Telegram groups that would normally be disorganized are the opposite. Shit just gets done.

Many current bitcoiners are engineers and systems thinkers. They want to check off tasks and get to the next one. Sometimes payment takes 10 minutes, haha.

Of course, clients can have shortcomings in other areas (e.g. tact or creativity), but writers develop pretty thick skins. Mostly it's about setting clear objectives and being honest about the time you need from clients (as well as what you deliver).
