    What's the pay rate? Should be an easy answer for a legit freelance job offer.

    Are you interested?

    If so, please send over your CV and I’ll forward it to the founder, who will be in touch direct.

    You can ask him as many questions as you want.

    Pay rate is what makes people decide "Am I interested?" Not providing it --- especially when asked to --- is a bright red flag.

  4. You'll be paid in bitcoin. And a byline, which is its own reward.

    I can’t provide it because I don’t know it!

    That’s for the freelancer and the founder to thrash out!

    I’ve been tasked with sourcing a small team of sports journalists.

    Done here, you lot a bunch of fucking gripers!

    Good luck if you can't tell them how much they'll be paid.

    You may not be aware, but journalists tend to be a curious bunch, especially in regards to payment for their services. If you can’t answer basic questions about the enterprise, don’t be surprised if journalists meet you with skepticism.

    All you have done so far to drum up interest is connect the words journalist, sports and blockchain. Put together a cogent description of the work (and include some sort of pay scale) and I’m sure you’ll find many interested journalists.

    The fact that you aren’t doing so, especially after being asked to, speaks poorly of either the enterprise or your ability as a headhunter.

    I still have no idea what Blockchain means. Sounds like another word for constipation.

    And he only announced he was quitting this thread three times since starting it.

    I'll assume he won't be buying us beers.
