RE: Blocklancer - Freelance on blockchain

Excellent. Found you on Steemfollower. I'm also a freelancer, and have had the common difficulties working for various centralized operations. Hopefully, we will all (potentially) make enough off of this Blocklancer ICO to offset any funds we have lost from the centralized companies in the past (for me it was not much) and FINALLY be able to have more peace of mind as we continue our freelance journey. I was NOT aware of the Blocklancer ICO, and have not yet gotten involved in ANY ICOs, but I would certainly like to. It would be great if you could do some follow up posts on this, in addition to a post about how to go about investing in ICOs. I think a lot of people (including myself) are cautious about ICOs and don't know where to start to invest in them. My preference is to simply sell some Bitcoin (my main investment) to buy some of the Blocklancer ICO coins. Is this a prudent way to proceed. Also, do you have a link to a web site/page which gives more info on this ICO? Thanks for the good work and helpful info...

@steemgigs interface will fix things. In the meantime too, i can help either way, looking for someone to render you a service or you can offer a service under #steemgigs. I got busy to keep pushing but we are back with the interface.

@surpassinggoogle thank you for passing by, I really appreciate. I took a look at the steemgigs post you shared for the first time and I see #steemgigs is destined to be big. However as a tag only, it will not reach it's full potential for many reasons, one being the lack of the functionality to create steemgigs profiles that can be visited by potential clients of the steemgiggers and viceversa. This ofcourse is because steemit only allows creation of the steemit profile only, and if a steemgiger is also a blogger then their profile has to serve two purposes. I am glad you are working on a platform and I hope it will allow profile creation and a way to customise profiles. The other problem with using it inside steemit directly is that posts will get buried under new posts pretty quickly that those that are looking for freelancers to do a gig for them will find it hard to compare and choose. I was also wondering if you ever thought of implementing the SMTs on steemgigs. Create a token that is based on steemit, run an ICO to raise funds etc, have own whitepaper ...

Yes all in the plans. You covered it all. The interface should be like freelancer, may be on a wordpress template, so it looks mainstream. Yes, you covered it. I didnt see this comment but i touched on this similar things in your other comment. I was just pacing things to build community first on steemit, that is utmost

Good info @surpassinggoogle. You would probably like my ongoing "Steemit Success" series of posts (found on my profile page). I have followed you, as you are putting out some good info.

@transcript-junky. Thank you for taking time to read my article and I'm happy that you found it valuable and informative. I will certainly be posting more about ICOs as I continue my journey in this risky but lucrative investment opportunity. ICOs are very risky because you have no way of telling if the startup will deliver on their promises or they will bail out with your money. Risky as they are, there are still dozen legit opportunities out there and it is very important for one to do thorough research. There are some platforms that are very dodgy when you investigate them (like bitconnect and regal coin) yet the investors are making money from such platforms, at least while they still exist. Some might have started off without a plan to run a legit company but suddenly find themselves successfull with their scheme and realise they could be on to something big and then change their plans and goals to grow the current venture. When investing in ICOs, never invest money that you can't affort to lose.

Nothing is guaranteed but if you get the right coin at the right time, you could become a millionaire. If ICOs are too scary for you, then you can look for coins that have just been dumped (That are already trading on exchanges) and after a massive pump, grab them while they are still dirt cheap then hold them for long term gains.
One such example is Etherium Cash or Etherium Gold. The coin was going for less than 2cents when they hit the markets, the price went up to some 23 cents per coin, a hundred dollar investment in that could have turned into $2 000 in five days. I hope you catcht the drift. As for the blocklancer website link that you requested it's https://blocklancer.net
