A better way to buy code. Use tests to buy code

How do you avoid this scenario:

  * Customer creates job spec
  * Customer creates white examples
  * Customer creates black examples
  * Coder bids
  * Customer accepts
  * Customer sends spec
  * Customer sends white examples
  * Coder delivers code
  * Code fails black examples
  * Customer refuses to pay
  * Coder claims code meets spec

The platform is weighted in favour of the buyers. What I mean by that is the coders compete to win the payout. The buyer doesn't see or own the source code until they pay. Many coders can submit solutions and the buyer can pick the best one to purchase. It's up to the buyer to query the submission fully as a black box and to trust the rating system.
