Knowing ERPOM programming is the strongest argument in this discussion. I give up!
You are right, that's really funny.

Sounds like you're paying for "average salary" statistics, not for the product you get for real. You might be surprised by the fact that salaries in IT sector of both countries are nearly the same.
But, really, let's stop the discussion here. You got 4 projects failed and you still don't believe you have to change your mind. I wash my hands of it.
Thinking that equally skilled developer have to cost any bit cheaper just because his/her country is poor is just that sort of mistake.
It's all just global demand-supply-quality game. It have nothing to do with the country of origin.
I would recommend you to pay more attention to moral principles, technical and communication skills rather than a number of open projects, nationality, age or married status.
If the developer says something like "I'm not sure in this part...", "I never worked with that before...", it's actually a point for him/her just for being honest with you.
If the developer can explain how things will be technically implemented, it's a point for him/her as the developer rather knows the stuff well. With a little knowledge or help from an expert you can check if it's a rubbish or technically valid explanation.
If the developer can explain pros and cons of possible implementation ways in simple words, it's a point for him/her as the developer is able to explain things to a non-technician and establish understanding in appropriate level for you to make rational decisions.
Sorry to hear that but there is no surprise in the fact that the market is full of cheap, unprofessional, irresponsible providers. For example, taking the lowest bid is a straight road to that hell.
Oh my God, I got so many projects about fixing all the mess done by other developers or saving a buyer after his/her 2-3rd failed attempt to get things done.
Unfortunately, promises, reviews, portfolios all could be fake. This is a bit of "psych" ability to recognize the real level of the freelancer through telecommunication as that's a kind of thing you have to read "between lines".
Maybe one day I'll come up with a checklist for buyers on how to avoid bad experience with freelancers...
But definitely it has nothing to do with current number of projects running by the provider for many reasons:
1. The freelancer may have projects on other freelance sites or requested directly and so on. Those will be not counted here.
2. The freelancer could be simply incapable of completing the project even if it's the only project on table.
3. Professional full-time freelancers have to maintain steady work load so they have to seek for new projects while still running old ones. And there is nothing bad for them to run 2-3 at a time as they already took that into promised ETA.
Seriously, that's only a problem of that freelancer.
If you want to be sure selected freelancer isn't busy on other projects why just not ask him/her about that before selection?
I'm sure there are better ways for newcomers to get a job than just a dumping. As they have more time than busy high rated developers, they can get more into project specification and negotiations, providing their ideas and corrections to the buyer and thus displaying their interest and understanding.
Save the industry, don't work for food.
I believe nothing stops the freelancer from contacting such a buyer via PMB to say he/she usually does this kind of job for less so that buyer can change the minimum budget and allow the freelancer to bid lower.
Anyway, this is better than getting into a trap of a fake bid posted by some company clerk who didn't even read project description.
Actually I only read the title and thought the suggestion is about replacing USD amounts with local currency values which is surely unacceptable for many reasons. So I voted against.
Sorry for being so careless. Today I read the suggestion text and found that it's actually about adding local currency value which doesn't hurt anything if USD amounts are still there. So I changed my vote to the opposite.
I believe many users who voted against this one also read the title only and understood the idea wrongly.
I suggest reposting this one with corrected title "Add user local currency value to dollar amounts displayed" to avoid this misunderstanding.
