20-25$ sounds fair. 10$ way too low!
I was going to say $20 was too low, so definitely don't say even $10 is fine! If you have some experience and/or a degree in this specialty, you should feel confident asking for $25.
You're not stupid. If they counter offer, consider it. $10/hour is ridiculously LOW! Your time and effort are more valuable than that. I think the minimum wage should be at least $15/hour, and only for entry-level work. Anyone with any kind of life experience is work more than that.
No need to retract, $35/hr should be minimum wage across the US anyway
You should get paid what you're worth. $20 an hour is still a steal for most corporations, regardless of what region you work in. They can always come back to the counter offer if for some reason it's too high.

I think that’s fair! All salary talks have to start somewhere
