Hello,

 

Just checking to see if there is any progress in cryptopayments? We lose a lot of money in convertion process, approx 40% is lost so crypto payments would be a cool way to help people with different currency than dollars. Thank you in advance for any reply given.

How is 40% "lost"?

I doubt Upwork will support cryptocurrencies until such a time when payment via cryptocurrencies become 100% traceable and transparent.

Upwork gets 20-10% per project. A dollar is 0,83 of a € at the moment and went down to 0,79 in Trump era.  So yeah, a good 35-40% is lost with all conversions and fees. If there was a cryptocurrency available I might even see my losses in the future. As for cryptocurrency, I am a bit disapointed that a frontliner like Upwork can't grasp the technology behind cryptopayments and instant transactions. As for your comment "until cryptocurrencies become 100% traceable and transparent" they are already traceable and transparent. The only crypto not transparent and traceable are privacy coins like XMR by default. Do you follow the crypto scene?
