This is probably the smallest nitpick ever, but thought you'd like to know there's a typo in the header - "Guaranteed minumum" instead of minimum.

Hey thanks. It matters!

#83Earlier quoted context omitted.
Good point. But are you saying $35/hr is excessive? The good developers/designers I know charge way more than that. And people are willing to pay for predictable results.
I don't see why a qualified programmer from another country couldn't charge $35 either, and I don't see why people should not be able to set their own prices based on that quality. I'm sure the market will find a way to accommodate the price/quality relationship without adding restrictions like this.
This IS the market working.

#84Canada and Israel have a ton of excellent coders too, you should let them in as well.
India too. Sure, there is a large pool of "career programmers" here who write terrible code, but you can always weed them out.
Edit: What prevents you from allowing people from other countries from signing up? Isn't this just a service that connects clients with programmers? From the looks of it, you aren't even handling payments or doing anything else that could get you into trouble with law enforcement.
