Has anyone had much luck with this site? I know this is an old thread, but I have completed 2 jobs so far without receiving payment. I have reported both "employers" without much luck...I'm going to move on unless people have had enough success to show that I was just SUPER unlucky with my first two gigs.
Topic: XBTFreelancer.com - A new Bitcoin freelancers platform (Read 5002 times)
The site is pretty good, though the search feature could be better abd also the look for mobile browsing.
I love this site. Hopefully in a couple of months I'm going to have to post requesting help with a project, so I'm definitely going to be using the platform.

Nice site! I was going to create something similar about two years ago but ended up pushing it aside due to lack of time. Glad to see there is a true BTC version of freelancer now 
Yes, XBTFreelancer must be a true bitcoin version for freelancing. Further more, some features like able to quickly chat with employer kind of features definitely will push fiat freelancers also towards here. Hopefully XBTFreelancer will become a leader in freelancing industry due to it's great features.
toodamntired, thanks for your question.
We take fees off of released milestones. No fees before work actually gets done, no fees for bidding.

Great Idea! I'm watching this.
Okay, sorry for this, but i have to ask....
Do you take the fees before the work actually gets done; causing the freelancer to actually owe money (Like some other websites i absolutely WILL mention...Freelancer) or charge like a gazillion dollars a month to bid on work (ahem....outsource.com) cuz if not, I am like totally there.

Might have been a temporary problem.
We are live & kicking. Growing at x10 rate in the last 6 months. Hope to see some more bitcoin employers kicking in and posting projects for the 12k bitcoin freelancers community to work on.
Let's do this!

Yes, this is the job I did:
https://www.xbtfreelancer.com/prj/7/need-a-simple-javascript-function-amended
And here is the BTC transaction of my withdrawal:

Can you paste links to jobs that you have done and be paid for?
Can also confirm I got paid. 
Processing of withdrawal took about 2 hrs t arrive to my wallet from the moment I confirmed the withdrawal following requesting for it.
Overall looks like a an interesting way of obtaining more BTC.

I can confirm getting paid BTC for a small gig.
Still around 260 freelancers all together. Do you need help marketing the site? I would love doing some work for Bitcoin marketing the site for you. PM me if interested.
Thanks so much for announcing/commenting.
I just got my bid accepted on a project. Been waiting for this kind of site. I love working for Bitcoin.

we have 3 people monitoring projects. a client side multi-sig wallet has been thought upon, currently not scheduled for the next 3 months development plan. We have a list of new additions we would like to roll out first.
Withdrawals are monitored and processed manually to ensure the best possible security. We understand it takes more time to process withdrawals but for the time being and at the current payments pace, we prefer to do it this way while promising a less than 24 hrs processing time.

I prefer Zakir over Muhammed when mentioning me!
Muhammed Zakir, Only I have access to wallet and there is nothing on server, wallet is a Trezor device
Thank you! Could you tell how many employees are there to check spam-projects? And also, I would suggest making a multisig wallet than just one wallet. It would be stuck for a long time because a person can't be active 24/7 and sending payments once a day isn't a good idea IMHO.

You need to make a good ANN thread in Service Announcements.
Please reply:
Thanks for the comment, roslinpl. I removed the "need a best friend" project.
Please reply:
How many employees do you have and how many of them have access to cold storage? Don't want it to get stolen or to get stuck for long time. It should atleast be twice(recommended) or thrice a day.
Confirmed. Email verification problem is now fixed. I received the code and verified my email, i am using my personal / business email, not gmail. So i guess this will work for everybody now with no problem.
Thanks for the comment, roslinpl. I removed the "need a best friend" project.
Just want to say that we fixed the e-mail issue. Problem found and new version had just been uploaded with a fix. We double checked and there doesn't seem to be any problem getting e-mails to non @gmail email addresses at the moment, BUT PLEASE if you see any problem or anything from now on just drop us a note.
Is anyone else not receiving any emails from the site? Missing 2 verification emails and 1 withdrawal confirmation. Not filtered as spam on client side.
Yes, me too.
I tried to confirm my email (tried 4 times already) but not receiving anything. Not filtered as spam either. Maybe it's an outgoing server problem on the XBTFreelancer.com site.
They said they use Google Apps for email. I'm pretty sure BTC-E does too. BTC-E effectively said in broken English that no email addresses are guaranteed to work unless they're @gmail.com.
I've removed myself from the directory and disabled email notifications since I don't want to use Gmail except in emergencies, for spamtrap, and logging in to other Google services.
ETA: They fixed it, nevermind.
The site/service is very interesting.
Just it needs to be more moderated - I mean, for example someone is "looking to find a best friend" - this isn't too serious and it makes me think that many requests are not really serious.
But project is nice it just need some polishing.
Good luck.
Best regards.

DeboraMeeks, amounts are in USD for better understanding of price. I think its more appropriate to state milestone amounts in USD especially due the crpto-currency's current fluctuations. I might add XBT based milestone amount support in the future, tough, if there is demand for it.
Friend, BTC freelancer means IMHO, default should be BTC in all things. You can check signature campaigns for instance, they pay in BTC and show the amount in BTC not in USD or any ither currency.
Muhammed Zakir, YES, funds are escrowed with the site. We have no hot wallet, actually no wallet on server at all. All deposits go to a cold storage and withdrawals are manually processed once a day following manual verification of accounts involved to be on the safe side.

Yes, that's what I wanted to say, that if they are here to pay in BTC, then why are they showing the prices in USD?
It might be good to display BTC/USD value there, but I also drew their attention towards a feature which I think will be a boost to their site, as if let's say the value of BTC will be $1000, they will show 0.1 for a $100 budget in BTC and if price of BTC is $200, it should show 0.5 for the same, I mean such a feature with auto-refresh of value in BTC would be a lot helpful.
its really a great site.

Watching!
Thank you for creating this! If possible, please do some advertising to get more people.
P.S. Is your site escrowing the payment? If yes, how good is the escrow and your security?

Other than that, i think it's a great idea! Needs some marketing push, though.
Interesting concept and website, but the only thing I am not getting is, if we are to get paid in Bitcoins, then why the bids and ranges are shown in USD there? I think you should change it to Bitcoins, and put some code into your site which will automatically catch the current price and allocate the rate into it itself every few seconds/minutes based on what the user gives in USD while filling up the form.
Its nice and I hand this to my friend and he spontaneously said perfect and we both start to search things up and try to earn some
Thanks to this website and the one who posted it

We are rolling out a new design for mobile/desktop in the next couple of weeks including some more improvements. Would love to see interest from the community, especially people posting projects and paying them in Bitcoin.
TheButterZone, what seems to be the problem? Are you sure your e-mail address is correct? You can check it out under your profile. In any problem, you can chat with me via XBTFreelancer, just chat with admin and I will fix any issue you might have.

promising site will see how this go from now i will start biding for some jobs
Interesting website. You should set your site up so that people have the option to make bids and display prices in bitcoin, since it's a bitcoin freelancing site after all.
Jup this is very interesting page. Hope that I can get some job here, because on freelancer's webpage I didn't get one yet 
That looks very interesting to me! I love freelancer sites. Good that we get one for Bitcoin. I might take a look.
I got a small $10 job in there for reviewing and fixing some English text. But I understand the site is new and still not many projects in there. I have hard time finding more gigs. Still worth while registering as it can grow in the future.
Thanks ! I might find a food faucet template designer there !
ill take a look and see what i can find interesting there
