The Freelancer’s Smart Contract: How It Works
Why a Freelancer’s Smart Contract?
I began my career building software for companies as a freelancer in my teens back in the late 90s. It was the best, or worst of times depending on how you see it. Apart from honing my development skills, I learned how to price my service and negotiate terms of payments so that I would be paid in stages as I delivered codes. These were skills I kept dear and near till today.
But it certainly wasn’t easy. There was one project that I completed just before I was sent away on 10 weeks’ military training. As a result, it was logistically challenging to receive my final payment. Remember that this was the days before Internet banking, so fund transfer was out of the question. I was worried about the cheque getting lost in the mail and insisted to visit the company to collect my payments.
More than 2 decades later, I wondered how a freelancer may use Smart Contracts on the Ethereum Blockchain to ensure that he gets paid for work done.
