The Services Board — Overview

The Services board is where forum members offer their professional skills to clients, paid in BTC. It works less like Upwork and more like a high-trust referral network — your forum reputation is the price-setting variable, not your portfolio.

Who posts here

  • Service providers — writers, designers, devs, marketers, translators, escrow agents
  • Clients — projects, individuals, companies needing crypto-savvy contractors
  • Long-running threads — top providers maintain a single thread updated for years

What gets posted

Each provider thread typically has:

  • Headline service offer
  • Sample work (linked off-forum)
  • Rate sheet (often USD-quoted, BTC-paid)
  • Trust references
  • Recent completed work documentation
  • Application / contact instructions

Culture

  • Pseudonymity is respected. Don't ask providers to reveal their real identity.
  • Reputation precedes ability. A Hero Member with mediocre portfolio out-earns a Newbie with brilliant portfolio — for now.
  • Trust feedback is public. Every completed job tends to leave a public footprint.
  • Public over private negotiation. For high-value engagements, the trade thread should be public.

What works

Do

  • +Maintain a single service thread, updated regularly with completed work
  • +Use escrow on all but the smallest engagements
  • +Document each completed engagement (with permission)
  • +Specialize narrowly — 'Solidity audits' > 'all dev work'

Don't

  • −Cross-post the same offer in multiple threads
  • −Promise unrealistic turnarounds to win bids
  • −Skip escrow because the client 'trusts you'
  • −Take engagements outside your skill — your reputation pays for the gap

Common service categories

  • Content + writing — articles, whitepapers, ANN threads, technical docs
  • Design — branding, marketing graphics, UI/UX
  • Development — smart contracts, integrations, audits, custom tools
  • Marketing + community — Telegram/Discord management, social campaigns
  • Translation — high-volume language services
  • Escrow — neutral third party for trades (high-trust members only)

What to avoid

Some "service" offers violate the forum's rules:

  • Account selling / account renting
  • Merit trading
  • Trust manipulation services
  • Fake review writing
  • Anything that helps circumvent the merit/trust/ban systems

Engaging with these as provider or client → ban.
