Somehow managed to erase my whole HitDB. Doesn't bode well for the week.

I've been turking for 2 years and I still can't figure out how to get hitdb to work

and I mentioned the 6.00 an hour because its kind of the official "thing" in mturk culture. I know a lot of you cringe just reading that, but Its in the Dynamo Guidelines and its the most frequently used rate of pay that many turkers would describe as "good."

No, it's not.

"Underpayment of crowd workers is anything less than the current federal minimum wage in the United States."

I lost two months of mine a few weeks ago. I had been backing it up semi-regularly, but I accidentally deleted my December and January backups.

That sucks I gave up on the database months ago and instead use the database script to export the data into a spreadsheet with fancy charts and stuff.

Looking and even waiting for work - at a 'real' job - is work (and you get compensated).
So, I sort of factor that in to the whole mturk experience, too................

getting paid during downtime is so i love it

I found a backup from November so at least I've got last year's stuff. Feel like a bonehead.

So if the federal minimum wage was actually raised to $15/hour, would that officially be the end of mtruck?
