Remote work job postings are usually a haven for scammers, commission-only jobs, and MLM. But this looks great so far. I hope this stays as clean and legitimate as it is now. My sister's boyfriend just bought Ferrari with the cash he made working from home, click here!
Our current thesis is that job boards are painful to wade through, especially for experienced devs looking to freelance.
Our current model involves connecting devs to good clients (i.e. people who've done this sort of thing before), who we screen ourselves (and because we've done freelance development ourselves, we know what to look for).

This scares me off completely. Not that I doubt that I am good at my job. All morality aside, who are you to know who is? A Rails dev and an investment banker.
It's a fair point. The signal/noise ratio for advertised freelance work is much lower than that for advertised traditional positions.
I think that's mostly down to mismatch: fewer employers advertising for remote positions and more people looking for easy money that can be taken advantage of.
