Ok, I should just explain how the escrow system works:
Freelancer accepts a job which is paid for up-front.
The money is then held until delivery of work AND there are no pending issues.
The freelancer has responsibility in ensuring the work delivered is as described in their advert.
Disputes will mean that the money is held in escrow until the disputes are resolved.
There won't be any restrictions on the size of jobs you are able to offer. If you are concerned that they will not pay, the site ensures that full payment is taken before the job is considered accepted.
There may be cases where continuous jobs are required for an on-going project. The site will allow you to create custom jobs if an incremental payment option is desirable.
RE bolded part:
Then, sadly, the coin solves nor proposes anything viable as it would be completely centralized trusting you with our funds, why use this instead of the multiple trusted freelancing websites? The whole point of cryptocurrencies is to be a trustless system.... decentralized.There are multisigs, smartcontracts etc that would be what a project like this would benefit from else I see no use, only extreme risk.
We have not chosen to go the approach of developing a technically sound turing-complete scripting language for the coin to enable things like smart-contracts or even decentralised markets. Whilst you are right that our system is not a trustless one, it can be argued that almost every market where BTC is used as the medium of transaction sits on a secondary layer of trust aswell. The conscious choice was to create a service which we believe can operate on Crypto Currencies. The advantages over other payment solutions speak for themselves.
Like every trusted service, whether its localbitcoins, bittrex, bitfinex or even silk-road, each has had an opportunity to provide a stellar service that has earned them that trust. Following your logic, there really is no compelling reason as to why any functional redundancies of use for any bitcoin service exist at all - and yet they do.
We have a small yet humble beginning, and we're fine with building trust from the ground up. We realise that this will take time, but as i've already discussed with some other people in the thread, there are some really good use-cases which I don't see in other freelance services which we can build. So that is what we're going to do.
