Good day to my fellow bitcoiners,

I want to present to you an idea I've been mulling over for a new site, the original idea was not my own but in fact a suggestion by a fellow member of coinchat, however I'm afraid I can't remember who so let me know if it's you! The basic concept is that it's a site for people like myself to advertise freelance work and service they wish to provide in exchange for bitcoin. Now this has probably already been done to some extend but I have big plans for this site and it will be unique in many ways. I'm debating a transaction system much like eBay and PayPal that will ensure utmost security. Therefore, the person requesting the service sends money to the site, who then holds onto it until the service has been completed, at which point the money is passed on to the worker. This way there's no 'you first' or trust issues as the site will act as an innocent middle man that makes sure everyone is happy.

Now there are many more possibilities with a site like this and I wanted to put the idea out there and see if you guys have any ideas to contribute. I'm a web developer and can physically make the site by myself so any offers of technical help, whilst appreciated, are not needed. However, I'm not the most creative person in the world so what I want from you guys as part of this amazing community is ideas for functionality, features and even design (my web design has always been somewhat boring). Even name suggestions are welcome!

Let me know what you think!

Obviously there is nothing to stop you from stealing the ideas here and making the site yourself, nothings been patented or copyrighted, but I would hope that as the honest people you are that we can all work together and make an awesome site where everyone is happy. Smiley
