So I got this a email few minutes ago ... guess I can't just ignore it. I'll email CopyText today and hope they're responsive.

I buy my stuff in bulk I pay like .03 a cup

how many do you get at once? 3 cents a cup for k-cups seems too good to be true. i could see maybe going down to like 20 cents but even a lot of the 54 packs are 40-50 cents each

any idea if Mturk would accept this as a valid block reason?

which they would have to assume after seeing hits done = 0

This happened to someone yesterday too. It looks like they are blocking people who use them to clear their captchas.

I stopped when someone mentioned this last week.

We need to put some reviews up once they approve.

Sure I will, my first one

I'd never heard of Illy, but $16.50ish for an 8oz can explains their costs...oi! Gas station coffee is gross, though. OnCue is the only exception I've found, but they have tons of machines/varieties and creamers and such that make it taste better.

they try to buy the huge 6 lb restaurant sized cans whenever they can. definitely saves a lot of money. I think each big can lasts them like 3 or 4 months.

This is dreadful

Yeah, I thought about returning it but I was at the point where I had already invest so much time I had to stick it out.

I'm wondering how they even can block you if you've done 0 hits unless they're harvesting the worker ID's from accepted hits.

Me too. Now I use everyone else.

Not k cup just regular ground coffee

Yeah, I dunno. I'm 99.99% sure I've never actually done one, not even in the beginning when I was new.

Dodds with something at least....

You know how some surveys can't tell if you've done a hit till you accept it, cause it's based off your id? It's probably just like that.

(that was my guess anyway.)

 

[adude]

just grinding penny hits for me today

How many hits are you sitting at? I'd suggest doing productRNR to get your numbers up to 1k and eventually 5k. Maybe someone here has a better suggestion, though.
