HI everyone. I would like to put forward a suggestion to cadcrowd management and would like to know the opinion of fellow designers.
I would like to have an option of "cryptocurrencies as payment and withdrawal method".While converting USD to  native currency using paypal, a lot of money is lost as exchange fee. Cryptocurrencies can be an effective alternative.Looking forward to all your responses.

Hey KP, 

Have you seen crypto payments used on other marketplaces/platforms as of yet? If so, do you know what system is most frequently used (i.e. https://www.stellar.org/)? 

Cheers,
MacKenzie

Several mainstream cryptocurrency platforms like bitcoin, ethereum , xrp and stellar are accepted at several outlets and stores worldwide, but i haven't come across cryptocurrency as payment method in freelance market. Crypto adoption is coming up in a big way. Companies are trying to find a way to link their brand with the word "blockchain" so as to get better publicity and progressive outlook. I think cadcrowd can also benefit from the same.

Hey KP,

Thanks for the clarification, appreciate it. 

We'll check into these options. As our transaction volume increases on the platform + crypto become offered by one of our main online payment processors (i.e. Stripe), we'll aim to add it as an option for CAD designers/engineers.

Chat soon

I will like to also suggest if Payoneer can also be used as payment option.They are countries that you can't fully access PayPal like Nigeria.
