If you need a help but can hardly afford to compensate with money, do consider trying work exchange — it may solve your problem while helping others!
(Our Accept Marketplace can be used as a platform of work exchange, too. 💡)

When you host or volunteer in 'work exchange' through a platform like @WWOOF , @Workaway or HelpX [https://t.co/DM13uWBBMv], having a helpful attitude goes a long way towards making the experience fantastic. (Rather than focusing on taking advantage!) #sharingeconomy
“The idea [of library of things] is proliferating,” Herson says. “It’s beginning to happen. We’re at a relatively early stage of what might become a commonplace thing.”

Most transactions in the Accept Marketplace will be backed by Accept Pay, which governs trade across our self-regulating marketplace through native escrow and arbitration capabilities. Accept Pay protects buyers and sellers alike from fraudulent or dishonest behaviour.
⚙️How escrow works⚙️ Person A buys books from Person B. A's payment (in cryptocurrency) goes to escrow first, and B receives it when A confirms. The deal is finalised only when the both parties agreed on it. #Blockchain technology keeps it secure and private.

👉Why Trace Not Click? #4👈 Last but not least — #security ! It’s easy to write code to click a button but much harder to get a bot to trace the outline of a logo. So the logo tracing is one way we ensure smart contracts are being deployed by real people.
👉Why Trace Not Click? #3👈 Our usability test proved that a more intentional action was better. (Tracing with a finger is more comforting than hitting a button.) It’s also a useful way to prevent people from clicking send or hitting enter by accident.
👉Why Trace Not Click? #2👈 #Blockchain , #cryptocurrency , fund transfer using #ETH addresses, etc. — they all sound like rocket science! Our contract signing feature is just one way we're trying to bring our cryptocurrency application to the masses in a rather familiar manner.
👉Why Trace Not Click? #1👈 We wanted to add some real-world context to the process of signing a smart contract. While so many things are completed just by a single click, we designed this system so you can feel that you're actually 'signing'.
How you sign the contract on Accept Marketplace is a little unique; instead of clicking a button, you trace our logo using a cursor.
Why?
Stay tuned for our tweets about this secret tomorrow!
"How do you exchange goods with services?"
This is an actual contract page on https://t.co/CwiNG66q3r. The user offers a service (diving lesson) in exchange for the goods (sneakers) listed on the marketplace. It's fun to think what the seller would be willing to trade for!
We think a true sharing economy marketplace should be open-source.
The best marketplaces are self-regulated, frictionless hubs where you meet to trade freely and securely.
