I get what you're saying in general, and I'm not arguing with any of it from a functional perspective. However, letter-of-the-law and whatnot, I don't see how that could hold up legally.

It'd be like if Uber made you pre-purchase "rides" at a predefined amount, and then paid the driver out of those (when you decide to release them, of course). It makes them take a much more active hand in what it is that they do.

You're sort of transferring money into an intermediary account, but at the same time, you're giving up a commission to AMT, who --in turn-- deposits those funds into workers' accounts. Looking at it from a legal standpoint it'd be awful hard to call them a third party.

Nah I sent a polite email saying I completed many trials but didn't count them and I didn't have a progress bar/counter, so I can't refute their claim but asked to look over the data and tell me how far I got and to give me any feedback they could. We'll see if they answer.

 

A third party payment network is any agreement or arrangement that (i) involves the establishment of accounts with a central organization by a substantial number of providers of goods or services who are unrelated to the central organization and who have agreed to settle transactions for the provision of goods and services with purchasers according to the terms of agreements; (ii) provides standards and mechanisms for settling transactions; and (iii) guarantees payments to the providers of goods and services in settlement of transactions with the purchasers.


nvm I'm dumb ur right

 

I feel like this is more of a word technicality than a practical examination of how the transaction process works though.

Right but the commission is for acting as the intermediary third party, not for being any tangible part of your business dealings. They are a third party to your 1:1 transaction with a worker (as a requester) / vice-versa.

Whether or not the funds come in before or after the transaction is pretty immaterial (no matter how poorly they word it) - it's not like if AMT didn't make the req XFER the funding until approval makes a difference. At this functionality level they're an escrow service - taking the funding and holding it safe so both parties can transact with a base level of guarantee.

O BBY

Spoiler

 

No you're doing it wrong you're supposed to send angry emails and make a Reddit thread encouraging others to do the same, because they are clearly scamming you out of your precious time and data. Don't forget to doxx the shit out of them and post their personal emails along with any prior arrest history and unflattering mugshots.

 

also none of it matters, once smart contracts exist on the NEOCOIN platform anyone anywhere in the world will be able to xfer tenths of a penny INSTANTLY with NO FEES and we'll all be doing hits for patbytes per image label
