Freelance Economy is on the rise and there are good reasons for it! Internet expands, many workers are looking for a better working environment or simply wish to earn some extra money and being independent in work is considered a goal for many.

Whether extra money is a goal or simply expanding your horizons; there are a variety of freelance websites and if you only search ‘how to make money online’ there will be more than 170 million results!

My personal experience in freelancing is not much. I have been in the private sector for many years and in the last few years I have been freelancing as a side job and mainly for exploring the world of freelancers and new opportunities!

A few months back, steemit came to my way (and oh so happy I found it). Steemit and Blockchain are a new interest for me; But what about freelancing AND blockchain?

It seems that this too, will be possible! With Crafty, a new smart home service that is powered by Artificial Intelligence and based on Blockchain.

In this article I will post a few information as found at their website and a few questions that I would like to address to the Crafty Team! I certainly do hope for a reply, as this seems a very interesting and promising application, definitely worth exploring!

What is Crafty? Is it a new platform?

Actually it is the evolution of a previous platform called ‘Diarissima’. Diarissima has almost 2 years experience in the Brazilian market and more than 20.000 users. It has changed people’s lives in Brazil and now it is evolving as a platform that aims to provide autonomous professional services for all specialties.

Say Hi to the free and decentralized Crafty App!.

How will it work?

The services will be offered either by web application or via mobile. The Customers and Service providers will be able to contact each other, negotiate and establish the prices for work to be done.
The Customers will be able to see the profiles of the self-employed workers and based on the unbiased reputation score they can contact them and get started.
The users will be able to pay and be rewarded with the Token CFTY.

Who is the Team behind it?

The Team behind the ICO seem to be experienced and highly skilled people, with knowledge in Economics, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence and more.
Feel free to check the Team's linkedin profiles, found at the Crafty Website

Why should someone consider using this platform?

[source: Whitepaper of Crafty]

The social network provides confidence, blockchain provides transparency and augmented intelligence amplifies the possibility of better choices for the parties involved.

The middleman is cut off and the costs for self promotion advertising etc can be minimized (if at all)
There will be no intermediate fees when services are paid via the Crafty Tokens and both the worker and customer will receive tokens for providing feedback through the platform.

Till when is the token sale and how much does it cost?

Token Sale is live through March 13th.
Minimum Ticket is 0.02 Ethereum

I would also like to post a few questions here that I could not find the answers to.

• Will there be a way to browse jobs, service providers or customers for people that are not registered?
• I have just registered but I have not yet inserted by personal data. Is there already demand and supply?
• When can I start working?
• Will it be possible to appear with a selected name or should my real name appear?
  (For instance in upwork you may show only the first letter of your last name)
• Will there be a commission for the platform? I see that no fee will apply, so is it actually commission free? Do the workers receive 100% of the agreed amount?
• How will the reputation score will be calculated?

Disclaimer: This post is originally created for the contest by @originalworks but I plan to use crafty and review it as soon as it will be possible and after the replies to my questions above!
