Just out of curiosity why is there an issue tying your social media account to a new website? A lot of new startups use social logins to onboard new users quickly and I think this is what Opsonion is trying to do. In order to help crypto reach a mass market, we need to make it super easy for people to get started on these exciting new projects. Are we building for ourselves or the entire world?

I'm not @Theb, but for me personally my issue is that crypto is supposedly (psuedo)-anonymous so I don't what the world to know my real identify. I would rather create or login using a email instead of my personal credential. I love what Opsonion is doing, but sometimes you really need to emphasize anonymity specially if you are getting in the whole cryptocurrency scenery.

@jeansymolanza Kemarit has already gave a good explanation why social media log-ins and even direct Google account log-ins are not attractive for a lot of people in the cryptocommunity. For my point of view most startups and ICOs already require KYCs to be verified it's when they start to ask social media accounts and other accounts that will cross a lot of line for me in terms of my privacy. That is why if I see a email registration I''ll always go for that option. It's not even as inconvenient as you think, registering with your email is as easy as confirming your registration just by clicking the confirmation link with the email they will send.

It's simple if you are a freelance website centered in Bitcoin/Crypto only payments you would only have freelancers who are interested to get paid in crypto posting for job offers in your website, you won't be having problems on people joining who are wanting to get paid via Paypal or Bank transfers. Your only problem is there is already a lot of freelance websites existing that are accepting crypto payments such as coinality and xbtfreelancer which are already popular in the freelance community, you would have a hard time getting people interested joining in your website especially if you are using Facebook/Google account log-ins in order to sign up in your website. It's sort of a privacy issue for them as they don't want their social media accounts tied to some website especially if they are new and not yet reputable.

Is there any specific reason why you're currently working with a waiting list?
I mean, I'm not really inclined to try and get referrals to your website, if I can't even try it out.

I don't even know if it's worth it or not, while there are several other similar websites that I can join straight away.

Xbtfreelancer seems to have a large community but they seem to only have 5 jobs active at the moment. They also have the concept of bidding which I'm not fond of because it quickly reduces prices which often come with reductions in quality. Coinality has posted like 2 jobs in 2 years too + it points you to a variety of websites as opposed to functioning as the facilitating platform (unless I've misunderstood).

The issue of privacy is a very interesting one, but people don't have to log in via their socials, they can login via a normal email login. The Google & FB makes it fast and smooth but I get you

So, you have a big chance in this field especially if you can give more jobs to members who have skills and want to offers their services to the buyer. I am on the 66 of the waiting list, and I am curious when it will launch. I cannot give more feedback before I can see the site and look inside my dashboard. Maybe later I will check again, and if the site can be a new crypto micro jobs, then I think it will attract people to join.

Thanks for the response Theb!
I guess the concept is to combine the utility of Crypto with the globalised nature of fiat. We also use fiat in the background to make cross border transactions seamless and to decentralise the dispute process. Things that aren't usually done at the moment in the mainstream.

I'll tell you this that if you try to tie up social/email accounts with registration this already gives out negative impressions on first glance.Why not consider on adding up a simple registration
without the need of Google and FB?It wont really hurt you out.

When it comes to the concept of bidding it does really affect the quality but we cant really deny the fact that this had been existed since these freelancing sites were created not only on cryptobased but also
on traditional ones.

Hi Stomachgrowls,

Sorry if it's not clear but there is a simple sign up without Google & FB - maybe we just need to make it clearer.

And yeah, I appreciate the point on bidding, I don't like it on other platforms either - a lot of freelancers I know have left them for that very reason.
Trying to change the way freelancing platforms operate as a whole.

Nice concept but you really need to market your services so that you can reach a broader audience. As @ Theb, there is xbt already which has garnered the market. If you are willing to shell out some money so maybe you can start a signature campaign here for maximum exposure.

So it will take some time before people will find your website, will not happen over-night so goodluck to you. I myself used to be freelancer way back, in the old odesk Grin

format, but now I just trade.
