I see where you are coming from. Eventually, CryptoTask will be seen as a regular freelance platform with low fees and accent on security for onsite deals. Technology, which does scare away potential clients, provides that. In case of a dispute, you won't spend days / weeks resolving the issue, it'll be automated and the outcome will be decided by real users.

> it'll be automated and the outcome will be decided by real users

I don't understand how both these things can hold. Unless the "real users" are automated?

Automated in the sense that there is no company resolving disputes, but are resolved in a decentralized manner by other users who are selected automatically
Oh, I see: trial by jury. (Or is it more like the court of public opinion?)

I wonder how well that'll work out. Will those automatically-selected "other users" really be able to grasp the legal and contractual issues adequately to resolve a detailed technical dispute?

devil is in the details. you would need highly skilled and experienced arbitrators here for each vertical.
