RE: 2000 Steem Prize! Develop SteemJ.com for Steemit Freelancing!
I really love the concept of a decentralized Upwork.
I used Ethlance before, but having to pay to update your profile really is not user friendly.
Let's do this on the Steem blockchain!
yeah anyone could offer minimal jobs or tasks without cost in steemit but someday it will need a secure pay that hold the money till complete
This is actually a good point. Fortunately the Steem blockchain already has this enabled as far as I understand, there's just no good user interface for it. You should definitely add this to your request @jerrybanfield , or add it to your development timeline. Again, I'm no developer, but I know smart contracts and escrow are available but underdeveloped tools. @good-karma has begun working on this for his eSteem app as shown here. I do think an escrow system will be necessary to make the site feel trustworthy and legitimate.
