It has come to my attention this new project called GEMS, its a new platform that intends to eliminate the problem of fees and organization that Marketplaces bill all workers and those who needs to hire for HIT (Human Intelligence Tasks).
Right know the unwanted costs and conditions for this services are shooing away workers from the Mturk environment and complaints about the unorganized situation they're facing right know are spreading throughout the whole network *.

And here's where GEMS comes to the rescue!!!. They are a platform that enables direct contact between those who are looking forward to work and and hire those services by introducing something called the Gems Protocol, which is a work and network participants validation.
Now, this does not solve the problem of high fees, which is why they're are introducing along side this protocol their own platform for hiring and working in HIT. It's a new virtual ecosystem that increases pay for all workers, improves organization between both parties, reduces fees and enables workers without a bank account to be able to be paid.
The way they're planning to do that is through a payment method very common nowadays: Cryptocurrency. The payments in the platform will be done by the gems project new coin.
This projects seems to be the future of online working and the beginning of the end for abusive marketplaces.
In their own words Gems is the Amazon Mechanical Turk killer.
