Much of this information is missing from the homepage. I did not really understand your product until I read the above description. “Uber for Coding” just doesn’t explain it to me; That sounds like a 1099 contract job? But clearly it is not that. So what is it?
Also: is the any way to use this if my code is not open sourced on GitHub?
Re: the latter question, absolutely! You can create bounties both in your private Algora repos as well as private Github repos using our integration. You can share them privately (via email) or make them public on Algora - only the issue becomes visible and not your codebase. No-one can access your repo directory (codebase) unless you add them as a collaborator in the repo. People who discover your bounties can request to solve them, and you accept them by sharing the repos. You can also ask solvers to sign documents before accessing your repos.
As for the work classification, it is actually 1099 contract work! Every year, Algora Public Benefit Corporation makes an information disclosure to the IRS about users’ earnings from the previous year, summing up the money they have received. Users who made money on Algora also receive these 1099 forms, which sum their bounty payouts and come in handy when filing for taxes.
