Hello hello!
Hope you're having a good day.

As the title said, Cryptolancing is where you can post about the new position that you have available, ask for a helping hand for your cool new project, or share your awesome skills with the rest of the world, and do all of that without the limitations that popular centralized services like UpWork, Fiverr, or PayPal impose on their users (Geographic restrictions, thematic restrictions related to works or services, profile restrictions, etc.).

If you fall into any of those groups, whether you're looking for a job or looking to hire someone for your project, I'd love to help you reach your goals by having you in our community! :)

Don't be shy, and feel free to give us a visit anytime.

I know of two similar communities to this one (that are alive at least).

The first one is r/Jobs4Bitcoins on Reddit: r/Jobs4Bitcoins
It has similar rules to this community plus some added restrictions for new posters/commenters to ward off bots (accounts should be +30 days old and have an undisclosed amount of karma for example).

The second one is d/Jobs4Crypto on Dread (You need TOR Browser or something similar to open this link): d/Jobs4Crypto

REMEMBER: Always use escrows if at all possible, to make sure that you don't get scammed, both as an employer, and as an employee.
The crypto currency world doesn't have a central figure that you can complain to if anything goes wrong. Ideally and if you're doing things right, you will be the only person that has control over your money.

I have experience with both, so ask away if you have any question regarding either of them.

I personally recommend r/Jobs4Bitcoins for starters, because it'soeasier to find since it's on the clear-net, and you would probably also have more luck getting a response since most people also spend their time on the clear-net.

Hello there!
Hope you're having a good day.
I also hope that this isn't against the community rules, and if it is, I'm really sorry. I thought it might be of interest to the users who are browsing this community.

I have made a new community called ![email protected], to create a marketplace for jobs here on Lemmy, that works in a decentralized and user-centric way.

I'd love to see your posts there if there's anything that you can share with the rest of the Lemmy community! :)
Whether it's a post about the new position that you have available, your cool new project that needs a helping hand, or your awesome skills that you want to share with the world!

Thank you for reading, and again, have a good day!

Hello and welcome!
You can let other people in this community know about your epic skills, or that you need someone to take care of a job for you, given that you follow the below rules... ;)

Rules:

• NO SCAM ALLOWED!
• NO ILLEGAL WORK/SERVICE ALLOWED
• Be respectful towards the other members of the community
• One post per 24h allowed
• Full time jobs can be posted too
• Your title should contain [Hiring] or [For Hire] at it's start (depending on whether you're hiring or looking for jobs).
  Example:
  [Hiring] Linux System Administrator
• Other posts should have an [OTHER] or [DISCUSSION] tag at the start of their titles
• For better marketing in the community, please mention other details in the title or body of your post (eg. Whether you're looking to hire somebody (or be hired) full-time or not, how much you want to pay or be paid, etc.)

Escrow services:

Be sure to use an escrow service to make sure that you don't get scammed. Many such services are available (Such as the FairTrade website on the TOR Network which I had experience with).
FairTrade on the TOR network (You need Tor browser or a similar application to access it): FairTrade

Similar services exist on the clear-net (FairDesk comes up with a quick search), but I didn't have any experience with them myself.

I am willing to provide my own escrow services to users if they are willing to trust me with their money.

Needless to say, a level of trust in the person or organization that provides the escrow service is required. Make sure to only use third party services that you trust.

Why...?

The most important reason is that many of the common services used to find jobs or skills are centralized, with many many limiting rules surrounding them. I personally know of a few artists that got their accounts banned by Fiverr and UpWork, because they took art commissions depicting heavier/darker themes (suicide, self-harm, gore [such as war scenes], drug use, severe depression, etc.). They not only got banned, but they couldn't access the funds that were already in their account, and they had no luck getting through those websites' customer service... I think this is very scary, and beyond unacceptable. They were robbed of their well earned money over TOS, by multimillion dollar companies. This shouldn't happen. Users who provide value and service should be in control, not them.

So, the first reason would be:

1- Because you want to have the freedom to look for an skill or a job, without having to be scared of the availability of the services that you use for your specific use case. TLDR: You want to be in control!

The second reason is that, many of the services used in this scenario, such as PayPal, UpWork, or Fiverr, flat out refuse to give service to some countries and people, and you will risk getting your account banned and your credits seized if you somehow manage to use their services by using the available workarounds if you're one of those people or live in one of those countries.

LinkedIn for example, has stopped letting Iranians sign-up for new accounts. For all we know, available Iranian accounts might be suspended as time goes on. Iranians are not the only people affected either, not at all.
PayPal immediately bans users who provide identification from countries that are sanctioned by the US.
Services like UpWork and Fiverr depend on PayPal for receiving payment, and on LinkedIn when it comes to user advertisement.

All of this in turn, limits the services that they can offer for many, many people around the world. I know of many creative, motivated, smart, and hard working people who live somewhere that these services refuse to provide support for, and who can't provide their services to the world, because of the limitations that these centralized services impose...
These people would be forced to work under conditions that stifles their creativity, working jobs that don't make use of any of their skills. I believe The world would be a better place if we could use the skills of people without discrimination about who possesses those skills or where they are from.

So the second reason would be:

2- You want to reach a wider audience of people, from anywhere around the world, who can do the job for you, or who can employ you so that you can put your skills to work!

Other reasons might be there for anyone else too, such as for example, the privacy and freedom that crypto-currencies provide. These two are however, the reasons behind why I decided to have this community! :)

If you have any other questions, feel free to leave it under this post.

Hey there. As the title said, I'd like to start a community for crypto jobs.

Centralized services make it very, very hard for many, many people to actually find jobs or get paid in a reliable manner.

I know of a few artists that got banned with all of their credit in their accounts on Fiverr, PayPal, and UpWork, because those services didn't approve of their work for their own reasons (eg. Many artists that take gore commissions or like to draw art with heavier/dark themes, get banned after some time on whatever service that they use, and the service will then refuse to work it out with them or even give them ANY kind of answer after that. It's fucked up to have to depend on those services' approval of your job and what you do when you depend on the money that you earn that way for your life necessities).

I know that the crypto landscape doesn't carry a good name, but it's the onlyway for some people to work without fear of losing everything in an instant because of the TOS of centralized banking and finance services.

I don't know if that's convincing enough or not, but if it isn't, some very smart and capable people around the world who live in countries that are sanctioned by the US can't even sign up for an account on services such as PayPal, LinkedIn, Fiverr, or UpWork. From very creative designers to very smart and capable developers. I live in such a country (Iran), and I have taken jobs that paid in crypto currencies before, using communities like r/Jobs4Bitcoins on Reddit, or even d/Jobs4Crypto on Dread (TOR network). All of them have been legal too. I don't intend to create a community for scammers.

If it's needed, let me know, and I'll gladly answer any question that might be left.

Title basically.

I can't work with PayPal and friends because of my country. Crypto currency is the only option here for non-local work.

Is there a community like r/Jobs4Bitcoins on Lemmy? I'm willing to create one if there isn't, but I thought I'd ask first
