Name your price.
Nobody runs off with it.

Post what you need done, or what you can do. Settle on a number. The credits sit locked in the dark until the work actually turns up — so neither of you has to go first and hope.

New arrivals get 500 credits to play with.

I

Someone puts it out there

A job they need doing, or a service they're willing to perform. In writing, where everyone can see it.

II

You name your price

Send an offer — an amount and how long you'll take. They take it or they don't.

III

The credits go in the dark

The moment it's accepted, the buyer's credits are locked away. Out of their hands. Not yet in the seller's either.

IV

Delivery lets them out

The seller says it's done, the buyer agrees, and the credits move. Stay silent 7 days and they're released anyway.

The house takes

About the money. Credits here are made up. They aren't currency and they don't cash out — deliberately, because holding real money for other people is a regulated business in most countries. The escrow, the disputes and the ledger are all real, so the same machinery can sit on top of a licensed payment processor later without changing shape.
