I went to the site to look for cryptography related jobs. The shady postings without payment information, qualifications, or any other real information all made sense when I saw that the "crypto" was for cryptocurrencies.

One post wanted someone to create a coin in a month, but the rate was "negotiable". Hucksters (the posters).

I could create a coin for you tomorrow if you are interested. It will be based on an open source existing coin but you get to choose the blocksize and you get to name it.

Yep. That's my exact point.

Appreciate the feedback! When you put it that way, situation is ridiculous. That's the content quality issue. These jobs were manually approved and are legitimate, however due to lack of information they come of as shady. We'll add guidelines for clients to follow when creating a job listing and probably issue a requirement too. Accounts with no profile picture, no information on them, posting jobs titled with " NFT platform ", probably aren't employers freelancer is dreaming of.

I'm really glad to see your response and will bookmark your site for that reason. I want to visit again!

What appeared earlier to be the site's intent, now seem to be growing pains, after your explained the situation. I hope the site works well.
