Agreed! What do you think is required for a marketplace to stand out?
great point, we'll be working on that. thanks for the tip @Natalia!
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?
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.
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.
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.
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".
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?
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.
The coinjoin account on the Trezor Suite is using block filters, which is a private way of querying wallet balances and broadcasting bitcoin transactions without the user running a full node. BIP157/158 have all specs.
Hey! I'm the author, and you're correct. Thank you for your feedback on this. What I wrote is mistaken on that point, and I will adjust it for something more accurate. I've obviously tested all these coinjoin implementations (Whirlpool, JoinMarket and Wasabi) for a few years but I am the least familiar with JoinMarket at the moment.
entirely removing the need for a change output.
Would you have more resources on that point? I'd like to read up more on it. Thanks!
