I went to the site to look for cryptography related jobs. The shady postings without payment information, qualifications, or any other real information all made sense when I saw that the "crypto" was for cryptocurrencies.
One post wanted someone to create a coin in a month, but the rate was "negotiable". Hucksters (the posters).
I noticed there were a lot of job listings for crypto which just stayed up for ages. I suspect they had trouble hiring as they need someone smart enough to work on this stuff, while also lacking the ethics to avoid scamming people, and often being dumb enough to be scammed themselves in to having part of their payment be rug pull tokens with conditions blocking selling for x months/years (after the pull)
These no hope listings probably inflated numbers a fair bit.
You post this type of message in nearly every crypto thread yet every time you are pressed you don’t name a single company, project, or thought leader.
Personally I’ve worked at both coinbase and a blockchain company called avalanche. I think crypto is scams all the way down.
I don't necessarily disagree with the author here, but I would be genuinely curious if the job offer was for one of the "scammy cryptocurrency ICOs" or for one of the industry use case that seem to be destined to survive after the current round of scamminess passes.
We worked at a startup that leveraged autonomous blockchains to transfer money from naïve investors to slightly less naïve twenty-somethings. There are worse gigs.
This reads like a parody to me. This whole thing is real, though, right?
Wow, that looks bad. It's one thing to stay neutral and promote crypto-related projects, but it's another thing to promote obvious scams and ponzi schemes.
