Nice to have:
Experience with Github, Node.js, RESTful APIs, ASP.Net, C#, JavaScript, Ajax, CSS, HTML, XML.
Experience with scalability issues, big data, and machine learning.
Test-driven development practices.
Valuable initiative.
But I think the required skills are quite far from those actually needed.
I'd say we need those:
- familiarity with the blockchain concept
- for the back-end: C++
- for the front-end: React.js and/or React Native

May I point out the period under the "earn what you want" is no good for many developers, such as those in the U.S.A., assuming you meant "up to $1000 a day" not "$1 a day".
@jakub, he said "nice to have" not "requirements" or "essential Skills".
I do think it would be better to soften the list more, and be more explicit. Perhaps just had an "Important Skills" section and add React, javascript, CSS, HTML under that.
-
Jr. developers? Unlikely.
Also you need to translate that into multiple languages. Then you need to put it up on the freelance sites.

Great start! +5%
Will think on this a bit more before I offer any comments on improvements.
-
Very good, but for legal reasons, I would not use the word "hiring". That is offering someone a job, which this is not; it's an opportunity.

Ok, lets call it a Global Job Opportunity

You are free to change it to your needs and put it up on whatever sites yourself. thx

@btswolf , I can see you've amended the text but still I think further modifications are needed:
(1) Those skills are not "nice to have", they are requirements. Without them a person is useless for us. At this stage we are not in a position to pay someone while s/he is learning new stuff. We need experienced coders who know what they are doing.
(2) We should split the skills into two alternative sets. It's very rare to have a C++ and JavaScript coder in one person. It's enough if a person is good at C++ or React.js.
(3) I'd remove "big data", "machine learning" and XML. Those skills are not related to the job spec.

Alright, I've changed it a bit again and I will start to publish it before new year.
This is not one man show, take your duty as a shareholder and do whatever you think will be the best to grow the community but do not wait!

I would keep machine learning. Machine learning will be extremely valuable in this space in the near future, and I would keep big data also because again thinking the next year or so it could become extremely valuable. It might not be immediately obvious but sometimes you want to attract people who will have long term value or at least interests in these topics.
