Thanks, but I want more work, and it's hard to get low-level jobs remotely. I wouldn't mind working on web development or whatever, but I have no experience there, so it's only natural to ask for less money.

It's the same from another side - it is hard to find low-level devs nowadays. Also, you might be missing some clients because many would think you provide mediocre service since you charge so low.

I guess I can see that. The thing is, my rates are not low at all by the standards of my country. Minimum wage here is like 50 cents/hour.

Yes, but this is HN audience... You can continue billing local clients with local rates, but HN clients would happily accept "HN rates" ;)
