Title: BitPost — Media about and for the Bitcoin community
Post by: BitPost on February 09, 2015, 01:07:11 pm
Hey all,

We are Bitpost, a new media source about and for the Bitcoin community: http://bit-post.com/ (http://bit-post.com/)

Apart from the majority of crypto websites, our aim lies not in being first to present the hot news, but in creating catchy and qualitative content, providing fundamental analytics based on thorough research. We want to build a firm bridge between the mass and crypto worlds, as well as create a Bitcoin lifestyle community.

To this http://bit-post.com/remote-jobs-in-bitcoin-companies/ you might want to add Bitshares. The Bitshares blockchain employs around 25 professionals, among them are developers, designers, business developers and video producers.

Are you familiar with how the hiring process works?

We'll be glad to add info about Bitshares open positions. Are these jobs remote? This is an important question, as the article focuses mainly on jobs people can do regardless of their location.

To be a delegate, what you must do is convince the bitshares stakeholders to vote for your delegate campaign with their BTS. There's a delegate sub forum here with proposals you can read.

101 delegates that have the most stake voting for them are the set of active delegates. Each delegate can set a pay rate;  this is the percent of the block reward (50 BTS max) they receive each time their delegate node signs a valid block.

So it's a job position a developer, marketer, or budding entrepreneur might be voted into based on their merits and execution of ideas. The pay is in terms of equity, and the payment distribution occurs directly through the bitshares protocol. Often times a delegate won't need to have the technical knowhow to maintain their delegate server; many collaborate with IT / Linux specialists to handle that side of the equation.

So to answer your question, you can work remotely from anywhere and become a bitshares delegate if the voting community supports your proposal.

This describes it well http://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/2nouij/make_2500_a_month_being_one_of_the_first_persons/
You can see all the hired workers at http://bitsharesblocks.com/delegates
Those with a 100% pay get about 1300 USD in BTS at current market cap (other may correct me). In addition to the work they campaigned for they also secure the blockchain (comparable to Bitcoin miners). Help is available for the technical side of things (see post above).
A delegate can propose whatever service he/she is convinced serves the Bitshares ecosystem and can offer that at whatever price he/she thinks is appropriate (1 or more 100% delegates or one 50% delegate etc.).
