I created a marketplace for small coding tasks where buyers pay upfront when they post a code bounty (bountify.co). In practice, the pay-upfront model has worked well- there have been no disputes after several hundred bounties, and about 90% of bounties have received working solutions. However, bountify's domain (coding tasks) is probably better suited to upfront payment than proofmarket's. It's easy for code buyers to estimate the difficulty / value to sellers of small coding tasks, so buyers are reasonably assured of getting a solution within the one-week time limit. It seems like proof buyers would have a harder time estimating the difficulty of creating a proof, and that they might therefore be dissuaded from posting btc up-front for fear of nobody furnishing a solution.

About bountify.co, Why does it request profile write permissions when OAuthing wit github? It puts me off.
