Lets not limit these to coders -- plenty of designers, writers, and others in industries that are seemingly far harder to survive in than this one rely on this site (and similar) t…

I'd recommend LocalBitcoins. Had a transaction completed within 15 minutes of my first visit. No hoops to jump through and there's a feedback and escrow system in place. Maybe a le…
