I tried creating a profile, and accidently linked the wrong Github account (work vs personal) and there doesn't seem to be a way to unlink it.
There also seems to be no way to delete an account.

Sorry about that. We'll add a link soon. In the meantime use this url while signed in: developerauction.com/users/unauth/github

#23Most of these new services trying to disrupt the recruiting market, such as Developer Auction and Pitchbox, are narrowly focused on Silicon Valley. Obviously, the issue is more acute in the Bay Area. They are still curated with a manual selection process, in other words they are still recruiters. A true disruption would need to occur for every locale. Not everyone is looking to move to Silicon Valley and not only Sil…
Paraphrased: "There's more than just Silicon Valley! What about the Bay Area!?"
Seriously though, I don't see anything wrong with concentrating on a specific location and expanding, Facebook style. I'm not sure how well this would succeed in places like London, but I guess competition is good.

#24Developer Auction now accepting developers from all backgrounds in the USA
That struck me too. Are they saying no company will offer remote or visa assistance?
I know many companies that offer visa assistance. Some of which offered jobs to friends. Not every company/startup is willing/prepared to do the work necessary though.

Agreed, I'd go as far as to say that not everyone is located in the USA :)

Hey founder of Pitchbox here. We're definitely focused on more then just Silicon Valley. We are working with startups and interesting companies all across the US. We're even connecting developers with companies that support full-time telecommuting.
whats the pitchbox website? pitchbox.com seems unrelated. I've refused several developer auction offers because they weren't open to full-time telecommuting

One step at a time. :) We're working on international, H1B, and other geographies soon.
Is there a newsletter list anywhere to be notified of such a wonderful advancement?

There's no newsletter, but you can sign up now and will be notified when we start approving developers from your region. We already have a lot of people signed up different geographies, which will help us figure out what regions to launch next.

It will definitely work in London... but probably not in Arkansas or Wyoming.
