couple things I love

> Priced in BTC not USD
> Find talent and jobs and pay somewhat anonymously

Tiny problem

as of August 22 there are only ~20 members.

*sigh* another cool BTC project consigned to the forgotten graveyard of crypto projects.

Currently, Satoshilancer offers their users the Bitcoin deposit. To deposit bitcoin on Satoshilancer, you just have to follow these steps: log in to your account, click on the `My Funds` link, select the Deposit option and follow the remaining instructions.

On Satoshilancer, you only pay for the actual work done by the Freelancer, neither more nor less. To ensure that, a suite of work management tools (the `Dashboard`) was created, allowing you to maintain a close control over the work developed by the Freelancer. The `Transaction` in the `My Funds` page helps you keeping a track of the related costs.

Satoshilancer provides a platform equipped with the necessary tools to monitor work on a regular basis and develop sound business relationships. Also, full support is offered by our team. On this basis, there are thousands of Employers and Freelancers using our services and there is an almost perfect performance. However, we cannot guarantee the quality of work, since that responsibility is delegated to both parties involved and is up to them to take full advantage of Satoshilancer features in the most profitable manner.

Q&A: How can I communicate with Freelancers?
 
To discuss the project's requirements with the Freelancers, you can use the Private Message System, by clicking on the `PM` link in the project's page. Note, however, that when communicating with Freelancers there are certain rules to follow under the Terms of Service. So please make sure you carefully read those terms.

First, you must lodge a dispute through our Dispute Center. In the Dispute Center, both parties are first encouraged to reach to a mutual agreement. Nevertheless, if a friendly agreement is not reached, our team will analyze the evidences uploaded on dispute board and based on the information provided, we will try to reach a fair solution for both sides. As soon as we get to a resolution, we will get back to you.

Once a project posted, the information that you entered cannot be edited. However, you can attach additional information and/or a file to the original posting. To attach additional information and/or a file to a posting, please follow these steps: log in to your account, go to the `My Projects` page and click on the `Add Details` link (if you do not see `My Projects` link, you should change your Account Type to `All` in `Settings` page).

If you want to extend the bidding period or change bidding, please follow these steps: log in to your account, go to the `My Projects` page and in the tools tab, click on the `Extend` link. In the next screen, you will be asked to enter extend information (if you do not see `My Projects` link, you should change your Account Type to `All` in `Settings` page).

After carefully discussing the task's requirements and deciding with whom will you work with, you just have to follow these steps to award the project to the winning Freelancer: log in to your account, go to the `My Projects` page and in the bid list, click on the `Award` link near Freelancer offer you want to select. It will take you to the corresponding screen where you can award project (if you do not see `My Projects` link, you should change your Account Type to `All` in `Settings` page). The selected Freelancer will then have to accept to work with you in order for the project to be considered successfully awarded. All next steps will be notified thought dashboard.

To bid on a project, you just have to follow these steps: log in to your account, go to the chosen project page, click on the `Place Bid` link and follow the instructions. Make sure to always bid on projects that actually match your expertise to get good feedback and reviews.

In order to protect your identity, users cannot request or disclose contact information through Satoshilancer as we provide the Private Message System, which can be used to conduct communication before Project awarded. After winning project you can provide more contacting information such as email, but it is recommended to use PM system.

Once a project is completed, both the Employer and the Freelancer can leave feedback/review on each other, meaning that both parties are given the chance to comment a particular experience and rate the performance of the other party. To leave feedback on a Freelancer, you just have to log in to your account, go to the "My Reviews" area.

 
How does it work for Employers?
Once you become a member, post a project where you provide all the necessary details. Freelancers will then start bidding on it. Even though Satoshilancer is similar to an auction, it differs in some aspects, as there is no mandatory end date and you choose the winning bid yourself. When the task is successfully awarded to the winning Freelancer, he will begin working on it and you will be able to manage his work using the dashboard available on Satoshilancer. Plus, with the escrow payment system you will pay only for the actual work performed by the Freelancer, neither more nor less.

employers could use escrow service to pay freelancers.
yes you can withdraw your funds!

Where does the site earn or how does it cover hosting and development costs? Will this be done by selling ads? Selling personal data? donations? Premium Memberships? Or how will you achieve profits?
Does the site provide escrow service for all parties? I'm afraid to hire a fraudster or be scammed? Does the site act as a middleman or is it a place to meet the employer and employee?
can I withdraw my affiliate program profits?

I can not go to details but we have some measures and limitation to make it hard.
always try to use our escrow system to completely deliver your work and then release funds.
reputation is not a good measure for `trust` but help you choose better freelancer.
no. it is for secure payment from employers to freelances and controlled by ourselves.
a user can not offer escrow as a service, but can use our escrow system for payments.

I have registered into the platform. Everything went smooth and my account has been verified using my email.
I really like that i can use the platform without the need to provide any personal information. It's suitable that i can post my offers or work in full anonymity. However, this lead me to think about how someone can create many accounts and build a fake reputation just to convince others that he is professional and has the best portofolio. Does there any plan to add another security layer without infecting the anonymity garanted?
I want also to ask about the option of "My Escrows". Is it possible for a user to offer escrow services? Please explain more.

good news. thanks

I've tried it again and been into the different pages of your website and no issues were found. I think it's fixed already and it's way quicker this time.

thanks for testing.
we do our best to reduce fees; maybe able to reduce escrow fee for premium members soon.
yes, includes finished ones.

I just wanted to let you know that I'm not experiencing the issue mentioned by jossiel ^{[slow loading times]}.
^{- Tested with/without a VPN.}

IMHO, the "escrow fee" that freelancers are charged ^{[both normal (8%) and premium (5%)]} is a bit high.

---

In regards to normal employers with "10 project limits" and normal freelancers with "25 bid limits", are those only for active projects/bids or it also includes finished projects?

thank you for your comments. could you please tell your location (to check server issue)? maybe pm it if possible.

I remember the glory days of xbtfreelancer through your website. I think there's a need to fix with your server because it loads slowly and the response time isn't that quick.

Knowing that your website has been established a month ago, it's nice to see that there are openings and posts already offering for a job. There's a lot of advertisements of you to be done to make your site be known to the community.

Does Satoshilancer offer an affiliate program to earn extra revenue?
Yes! If you add the Satoshilancer affiliate link to your website, you can earn whenever someone become a Premium Member from that link. Just sign up and follow instructions in `My Affiliates` page.
