I did some work for Rent-a-coder (nowadays "vWorker"), my experience summarized here: http://eli.thegreenplace.net/2007/04/21/doing-some-work-at-rentacoder/ http://eli.thegreenplace.net/2007/04/21/doing-some-work-at-r... and also here: http://eli.thegreenplace.net/2007/07/14/more-about-my-rentacoder-experiment/ http://eli.thegreenplace.net/2007/07/14/more-about-my-rentac... One thing that pisses me off about these sites is that there's so many of them. See, reputation is worth a lot, and it's not transferable between sites :( You work hard to gain a high score on, say, vWorker, but then at Odesk you're a fresh dev with 0 experience, unlikely to get any piece of work that can really bring normal pay.
