I just surfed the XBTFreelancer website. While the number of freelancers is huge, there was not even one project found when I browsed the projects.
Is there anything that I am missing or there is really not a single project on the website ?

Also, you can check https://www.thewebjob.in/ this website . It contains websites which has freelancing jobs which pays in crypto. I have not checked every website in there though Tongue . Just giving a lead

what I say is that it is really possible to work in peace on these sites as a freelancer and not risk losing money as happened to me personally and this is a serious thing because it means that no one controls these platforms and does not give us the possibility of staying trqnuillo

Please be careful about what is being suggested to unsuspecting new users through a pinned topic.

Ref: Bitcoin exchange Paxful stealing peoples bitcoin

Hi, i wasn't aware of this issue with Paxful as well.I'm glad that issue got resolved after a long wait.
However i haven't had any bad experience using them as long as you stick to safe trading practices.There's always a risk when dealing with these centralised services.

Meanwhile, I have never really used this and can't endorse them in the OP. Most of the sites which I have mentioned has been tested by myself and have positive reviews all over the internet. Let me just try to use this platform and if I tend to have a positive experience, I will add it to the OP. If you are aware of any other freelancing sites which pays in Bitcoin you can mention them up here.

I understand this.This was a fun site for using The lightning network for micro tasks (sub 50k sats).

I wasn't aware of the suspicious activities being carried out by Paxful. As of now, till the suspicions gets cleared from the Paxful side I have removed them from the OP. Thanks for bringing these to light.

Seems like XBTFreelancer.com is defunct / doesn't work anymore.

Unocoin.com and Zebpay.com can possibly be updated in the OP.

Removed XBTFreelancer and have added Unocoin. Zebpay doesn't still seem to have entered the market, until then they wouldn't get listed in the OP.

Spamming with referral codes aren't allowed in the forum. Kindly edit the post of yours without mentioning referral codes. If they aren't edited asap, I don't have an option other than removing the post.

why have you mentioned exchanges that have nothing to do with INR? For Crypto-to-Crypto, if you mention Binance, you need to mention BitMex, BitFinex and even CoinBase, as all of them has good volume and on board Indian users.

Exactly.

How else can anyone figure out which algorithmic, automated, trading bot might be already compatible with which exchange?!

Bitcointalk is a good marketplace for freelancing with bitcoin. In the early days of my forum journey, I got a client from here. I was asked to write an article for him.
I have used this forum for learning about bitcoin, shared my knowledge. However, he somehow noticed and PMed me. Now we are having a long term deal for writing him. This is a great pleasure for me.
If someone wants to start freelancing for bitcoin, I would advise to start from bitcointalk, a great marketplace.

I thought it could be a little hard to get some "trading" related work but this is good to know and inspiring, thanks.

Thank You Vikhy. I have added paxful to the list of trading platforms available here for Indians to buy and sell bitcoins. If you got to know about other links you can share them here as well. Will add credits to you by tomorrow after I have done some minor changes to Wallets subsection.

Thank You newIndia. OP has been updated with localcryptos and Bitrefill sites. Bitrefill is a noteworthy and must have additions to the OP.

Welcome.

Quote from: Heisenberg_Hunter on January 03, 2020, 03:58:19 PM

Though I have used Bitrefill only twice, are they really trusted in terms of Indian economy is concerned? I am aware of the fact that they have really good and trustworthy reviews for international markets but is there any problem when we provide them with our mobile numbers or use their gift card codes?

Given the current situation of India, I guess, it is better not to provide mobile numbers to any Crypto portal. But, most of the gift cards other than mobile recharge can be purchased though disposable Email ID.

Also, variety of gift cards from Amazon to BigBasket to Uber is available at https://www.bitrefill.com/buy/india/. I guess, it deserves a mention in OP.

Side note for new Bitrefill users : Bitrefill is one of the fastest adopters of Lightning Network for smaller payments and they have received over more than 1BTC through lightning payments!

For Crypto-to-Crypto, if you mention Binance, you need to mention BitMex, BitFinex and even CoinBase, as all of them has good volume and on board Indian users. I would also like to know, how reliable idex.market really is!

For Crypto-to-INR and vice-versa, I'll suggest to enlist the following...

Should this topic be pinned on top replacing the older worn out topic?

If so, we could all report them and any of the global mods would pin them replacing the older one.

I already reported it to the mods like 2-3 days back to be pinned stating that the old topic is irrelevant. But it shows that report is unhandled. Maybe if everyone reported, we might get them pinned.

PS : I have no idea on the taxation, mining and their role in the Indian economy. So if anyone willing to contribute to that particular section, please post it here. Thanks again to everyone who have contributed so far.

We are cumulatively bringing back the Indian board and simultaneously driving away the shitposters and translation abusers!

No such regulations have yet been passed by the Indian government for cryptocurrency taxation which includes mining.
So I guess there is no tax on crypto for now. Lol that sounds so good while the crypto situation is worse in India.

Freelancing with bitcoin doesn't have much available platform. However, if someone has good experiences on some areas, they can get some job here. Bitcointalk is a good marketplace for freelancing with bitcoin. In the early days of my forum journey, I got a client from here. I was asked to write an article for him.

Hi, I don't understand why you have specifically mentioned the term 'coinbase' in the below part in the mining section. Does the rewards have anything to do with coinbase ?

As CounterEntropy pointed out, coinbase is the very first transaction in a block and they are added by the miner to the list of transactions they are going to include in the block. The coinbase doesn't have a UTXO input which almost all the bitcoin transactions have, but rather a coinbase input and a output which sends the freshly mined bitcoin to the miner's address.

Here is the code for the generation of new bitcoin from validation.cpp

Code:

CAmount GetBlockSubsidy(int nHeight, const Consensus::Params& consensusParams)
{
int halvings = nHeight / consensusParams.nSubsidyHalvingInterval;
// Force block reward to zero when right shift is undefined.
if (halvings >= 64)
return 0;

CAmount nSubsidy = 50 * COIN;
// Subsidy is cut in half every 210,000 blocks which will occur approximately every 4 years.
nSubsidy >>= halvings;
return nSubsidy;
}

Quote from: pawanjain on September 14, 2019, 09:26:59 AM

I think you could phrase it as below

'Along with that, the miners get rewarded with 12.5 BTC as per the current reward rate which is included in that particular block and goes to the miner's address.'

Thanks for re-phrasing the line. As I have already said, the topic is meant to serve as a reference to the newbies who come to the Indian board to learn something new. So, the technical terminology wouldn't be good for the common people. Let me update the OP with your new phrase.

Along with that, miners get paid in bitcoin through a coinbase transaction which is one of the very first transaction in the particular block.

I think you could phrase it as below

'Along with that, the miners get rewarded with 12.5 BTC as per the current reward rate which is included in that particular block and goes to the miner's address.'

Let me know if there's something wrong with this.

You are confusing 'Coinbase Transaction' with 'Coinbase.com'. 'Coinbase Transaction' is a Bitcoin terminology that signifies the first transaction in every block, i.e. the transaction that creates BTC out of thin air and rewards miner for the work done to find the block.

Ref 1: https://bitcoin.org/en/glossary/coinbase-transaction

Ref 2: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Coinbase

Services like Coinbase.com & Blockchain.com has confused people for ages, as they use Bitcoin terminologies for their branding.

I just read about the coinbase transaction and yes you were right about it. I didn't knew the term used for such transaction Tongue

Albeit, I think the OP should be updated since it can confuse others as well or may be clarify what the term 'coinbase transaction' means.
