We are about to resolve content quality issues in future updates. CryptoTask platform would take 0% if you don't use escrow system, giving you 100% of completed task value. If you decide to use an escrow system, platform would take 3% from total task value. About 70% - There's affiliate system, which allows for freelancer who can't find a job themselves, rely on a headhunter type of users, who'd connect freelancer with a client. 10% from the total task value goes to the platform, where 20% of the task value is meant for a headhunter. As both systems are still in development (development roadmap can be found no https://about.cryptotask.org/), percentage of task value going to headhunter could potentially be manually set.

I still don't get how the platform would take only 3% but I only get 70% of the value.

They're value-added features:

* You get 100% by default

* To get escrow services, you pay 3% of that

* If you want someone to find jobs for you, you pay 30% to them

I think this explanation makes more sense. The other explanation, although mathematically equivalent, sounds weird.

You'd get 97% of the job value if you use an escrow system. If you are a freelancer, who can't find a job and you rely on a headhunter, in that case you'd get 70% (which is to be discussed). If you don't use either of those, you'd get 100% of the job value.

They just explained it, it's three different models:

- keep 100% green you don't use their escrow system

- keep 97% if you do use their escrow system

- keep 70% if you need someone to find you jobs
