The thread seems to be overun by Newbies talking about bounty. When will the ICO start? There should be a dedicated thread for bounties. Please do the needful
Hi,
Yes we know there are many bounty hunters here. To be honest it also bugs me quite a bit. It would be great if we could just delete some nonsense bounty questions as well to make the important parts of the thread more visible. Or is there anything?
The ICO will be in December or January. More details to the exact date are coming soon.
Best regards,
The Blocklancer Team
I don't really like it much either, since all the information could easily be found with as little as one to three clicks...
But from another point of view it keeps Blocklancer visible. And more attention means a more successful ICO for which pointless bounty questions would be a cheap price to pay. I can't really see any serious investors losing interest because of "spammers" in a naturally spammy forum either.
That's not what freelancing websites are normally used for.
But that is indeed a very nice idea that Blocklancer might want to consider expanding into! Having a branch that is specifically used to connect people with tutors for different subjects would be quite nice.
Not only would it increase the value of the token, but it would also give teachers, tutors and students a new platform to connect.
I'm sure the same problems that freelancers face today are faced by tutors as well. And since that technically does fall under the "freelancing" category it would be silly not to take advantage of that market and add it to the Blocklancer platform!
Hopefully the team will look into this.
Hi,
That's a wonderful idea.
We already consider to add a fiverr like job offering system into Blocklancer as well. With that said it's not that hard to set it up for tutors as well. We just need to check out how that fits into Blocklancer (and how much demand there is).
We are currently working on a few extensions for blocklancer to offer everything needed to allow jobs to be paid hourly. But more to that in the next dev update.
Best regards,

Unless I'm missing something, setting up a section for tutors should be as simple as "copy/pasting" what is already there and specifically promoting that branch of the platform as well.
I keep seeing tons of flyers and job offers for tutors around campus all the time, so I would imagine that the demand would be quite large and that it would merely be a question of raising awareness (which may or may not be difficult/resource intensive).
When is the next update coming by the way?
