macarthy12··on Microsoft is holding back the secure web
Asia is more the issue than XP actually. XP is used in Asia mostly because it is easy to use a cracked version (i.e. free) and it runs most popular windows programs etc. (low hardware reqs too) So if MS just released a cheaper version of their OS in Asia (africa and south america too) of their OSes then we could all move on.

Not too bad. A good starting point. Are you posting on oDesk or somewhere like that?

Regarding purchase a service, you might mention what Payment Gateway you are using. You don't mention any thing about deploying the code, hosting or source control. You don't mention anything about communication, time zone, language skill (if you care about any of those)

Also you don't mention if it per hour or a fixed price job.

It might be harder to evaluate the answers than to write the advert, as a non-technical person. You might consider hiring someone for an hour to parse the result and screen the applicants.

I've managed workers and been hired via oDesk (5stars ish), some thought about it

The expectations of clients for the money/time can be very unrealistic. The quality of some of the coders is awful .

You can ping me at (hacker @ rubystars.biz) if you have some questions.
