This story was originally posted on our Medium account here, but we are working to increase our reach to serve the cryptocurrency community better through crypto-social platforms as we continue to grow before our ICO launches. Follow us as we announce our ICO launch date soon.
We are proud to announce that we released the Alpha version of Blocklancer! Currently the Alpha version is closed and only accessible for whitelisted and trusted Pre-Sale investors under portal.blocklancer.net. We decided to keep the Alpha release closed at the moment, because there are competitors, who might copy our User-interface. We worked many hours conceptualizing and programming our User-interface, so we do not want to take the risk that anybody is using our hard work for his own benefits.
Is the Alpha Version Already a Usable Application?
The Alpha release already supports all functionalities of a freelancing platform.
You can:
- create a profile,
- create jobs/gigs,
- bid on jobs/gigs,
- select a freelancer for your job/gig,
- pay the freelancer after the work is done,
- start a dispute and
- vote on a dispute.
The Alpha version is currently running on the Ethereum Ropsten Testnetwork.
What is coming next?
We are collecting the feedback of our registered and trusted investors to further improve the platform. Before our ICO, the Alpha release will become public and everybody will be able to register. The ICO is scheduled for Winter 2017/18. We will announce the exact date and time soon as the outcome of the upcoming forks are more clear. To stay tuned, please follow us on our multiple social media channels or directly get in contact with us via e-mail.
