Recruiters: I am *NOT* interested in anything bl*ckchain or w*b3 related. As required BY LAW, please include a salary range (i.e. a fixed amount or a min & max) with all postings. Saying that a range encompasses varies by location is insufficient (see https://t.ly/lYRk6).

Remote opportunities only, unless you're offering relocation to Europe. If this is the case, the salary range law does not apply but I would still appreciate it.
