What do I get if I work for you?

Doers are remunerated in STFcoin tokens for completing the requestors’ assignments. The STFcoin is a cryptocurrency that is easily convertible to any fiat money right on our service or at any cryptocurrency stock exchange. As the number of requestors grows, the token’s price will increase too.

How much can I earn?

The amount depends on the doer’s standing and on the amount and quality of the information provided. One alert consisting of, say, five photos will earn you $25. Video shooting is more lucrative, with an average price of $40 for a video made at the location of an infringement. You can get some $15 for screenshots of one detected piracy websites containing infringements. These are average remuneration rates; in certain cases, the doer can earn much more than that.

How do I start working with you?

All you need is a smartphone or a personal computer with Internet connection and a desire to find and provide the necessary information.

  • To work online, install our browser extension.
  • To work offline, install our app on your smartphone or tablet.

Who can be a doer?

Any person of legal age regardless of his or her place of residence and profession. You don’t need to have any specialized skills or education. If you know how to take picture or make videos with your smartphone or how to surf the Net, you’re most welcome to join us!

Who will know that I provided information?

Working with us is 100% anonymous. Under no circumstances will the requestor get access to the doer’s personal profile. Only information on the time and location of data collection will be contained in the alert.

What kind of information do I have to provide?

You will have to take pictures and make videos of counterfeit goods and screenshots of pirated content posted on the Internet. The requestor imposes specific requirements for the quality and quantity of information. Along with photos and videos, you will also have to provide information of the location where they have been made. Each assignment contains a detailed description of the requestor’s requirements and preferences.

Are there any bonuses for active users?

Our project features a rating system. The more requests you complete providing high quality information, the higher your standing. The most active users will be offered awards, bonuses and other incentives. The user providing the most valuable information will be qualified to complete more complicated — and more expensive — requests.

What happens if the requestor does not like the information I provide?

If the information you provide does not meet the main requirements described in the assignment, you will not be remunerated. Make sure you understand what you are expected to do and provide high quality and relevant information.

How can I be sure I will be paid?

Ethereum-based smart contracts guarantee your payment arrives. Funds from the requestor’s account are transferred to that of the doer if the information provided meets the requirements detailed in the assignment.

How many requests can I complete?

The number of requests completed by one doer is unlimited. You can take on as many assignments as you want if requestors are happy with the information provided.

What are the requestors’ requirements?

The requestor wants to obtain information confirming that his intellectual property rights have been violated. Accordingly, in case of pirated content, you have to indicate clearly that this or that website contains content protected by copyright or other laws. Make sure you indicate the address of the piracy website and the time you detected the infringement.

When searching for counterfeits, the doer has to record the infringement and the address of the location selling fakes. Each alert should include at least five photographs or one video (over 30 seconds long) to prove that fakes are really being sold at this location and that the infringement detected has really taken place.

Photographs and videos must be of good quality, and the brand name, logo and other specificities must be clearly visible.

If the information I provided is used in court proceedings, will I be summoned?

No, under no circumstances. The doer’s work is 100% anonymous. If the requestor needs witnesses, he will look for them on his own. The use of Blockchain technology allows us to guarantee data security and authenticity. That is quite enough, so your presence is not required.
