Ask HN: Best way to pay international developers?
Hi HN,
We recently hired a remote developer in Moscow & we are currently paying him via wire transfer, which gets pretty pricy. Do any HNers know of other services/ways to pay international devs?

Before there were USD/BTC exchanges you had to use someone like LR to get Liberty Dollars and then exchange them for bitcoins or vice versa. I may be remembering incorrectly. I looked into back in 2010.
Also, wiring money within the SEPA zone is free: if your developer is ok for having an account in an European country, go for it.
