Personally, I agree with others that the $35 minimum may be a little restricting on new developers who are trying to build site experience. Maybe a new developer rule could apply in which for the first 5 or so jobs the mandatory minimum is waived when they're sending in offers. You could also have something like Gold Star, Silver Star, Bronze Star rating for new developers so as to alleviate anxiety from selecting a…
It asks me to select a username and then states:
"Your company's url is http://www.canyoucode.com/username
Both me and my partner want to sign up but we can't both have the same username, but it seems wrong to have two separate company urls...
We both want to set up individual profiles and then link them together as a company profile...
The idea is very interesting. I like the idea of minimum $35/hr. To take the idea further, avoid using pricing as a signal, and protect the buyer as well, $35/hr could also be the maximum. That will take rates out of the equation. After that competition will be to get the most rewarding work, with emphasis on work quality. As a developer, I may even be willing to pay a screening fee, if I would be able to get good qu…
I don't think it is fair to discriminate by country, it would be much better to only discriminate by capabilities. What the price is should not matter either, unless you are looking to set up a shop that people will know will overcharge or where the people from the 'west' can set up shop without competition.

1. The username is assigned to the company; users cannot login individually. 2. But once you login, you can add various user profiles and credentials to the company profile.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Expanding to other regions need to be done gradually. Otherwise we will end up being just another freelancing website.
Can you explain your reasoning here?
The result is that really good talent from the West stays away from freelancing portals, because they just get lost in the volumes out there.
This is not a good situation, since there is a ton of great talent in the West (probably more than anywhere else).
Changing phone number is broken and there is no way to delete your account.

We probably need to do a better job of communicating this. 1. The username is assigned to the company; users cannot login individually. 2. But once you login, you can add various user profiles and credentials to the company profile.
