Not ideal, but I guess internationally it's less of an issue :)

From my point of view the problem is that most cryptocurrencies are used as speculation instruments, and there's a significant hoop to pay someone in crypto.

Building on top of Monero would alleviate some of those issues, while targeting an even smaller niche of people.

From a business perspective the landing page does not do any work in reassuring me. Focusing on fees rather than vetted freelancers, testimonials, and without any form of results "assurance", escrow system or dispute resolution why would any company take on the risk of hiring a freelancer this way while also gambling with all the issues crypto brings?

It’s always nice trying to build stuff but I really hope this is just a hobby project for you..

I know you're probably hoping for the non-crypto businesses to use it, but there's little incentive. The hiring company holds the cards when it comes to payments most of the time anyway – when you hire a remote worker, they often deliver 100% of the work before getting paid

Even in higher end contracts it's rare to find a company that is willing to pay a deposit.

This is disappointing.

Solana has a highly centralized validator set that will keep shrinking over time as the cost to run one out paces the rise in the SOL price.

This leads to our being very centralized.

Solana is also missing core cryptographic primitives like state receipts, meaning I can be easily tricked by a dishonest validator about whether my transaction happened.

Without a mempool, sending transactions is a nightmare during high network usage and my transaction can dissappear forever, or be executed multiple times.

Solana isn't even significantly cheaper than the alternatives anymore.
