2) start Scraper there on 2 seconds, then I move down to $2, $1, 50c, etc.
scrape 3 pages at 2s with min reward 0.05

I run that all day with TM going
but that's just like, my opinion, man.

1) I panda those

2) start Scraper there on 2 seconds, then I move down to $2, $1, 50c, etc.
If Scraper is always on, I can't run TM. And new hits do stop appearing after about 10 PM. That's when I usually run TM, with all the batches checked. No good?

3) not dumping pandas every day. I give the singles a reasonable time, like a week, and I feel the really well-paying ones wouldn't stay up longer than that.
There's no reason to start scraper with a high value. If you set for 50c you'll also get the $1 and $2 HITs, plus you aren't wasting time resetting your searches. If you slow your scraper slightly you can run TM at the same time. I run my scraper at 4 seconds. Plus at 2 seconds you'll potentially miss things while switching tabs, unless you're using Finder that logs. If you aren't running TM all day you will never ever catch anything.

Kathryn @Kathryn--one more thing. Is there a way to run TM and Scraper together if I space out the entries more? Or PC and Scraper?

Let me be clear, I'm not taking any bet where the possible outcome of a week could involve me doing surveys. That's like asking YAHU @YAHU to behave. Or asking Bode "Emo Barry" Miller @Bode Miller not to be snarky. Asking catnapped @catnapped not to post his PE. Or asking Vanyanka @Vanyanka to be PG. Do you think Kerek @Kerek could go a week without posting red pandas, no. No. No.
I can go a week without posting at all.

Good evening all. Sorry to bother, but quick question..has Joe Lo changed his pandas? Or are they the same? I have some set up for wall streets/Joe Lo but never get any for the past several weeks. Do they post at different times now? I used to get one around 8:16 - 8:30 AM. Or did they stop altogether? Thank you.
I'm not sure if I understand the question completely. Is jo Loe another name for walls? I dunno. If you're asking about walls though, yeah they haven't been posting for a while now.

Maybe what you're doing isn't working. HN curates HITs from all of the forums so you don't have to waste time following all 3 forums + HWTF.

2) You can run scraper all day at like 5s along with TM.

3) That's just crazy, dump it all at the end of the day unless is a super high paying survey ($30+).

Yes, run scraper more slowly in one tab and turkmaster in another tab. Or PC in another window. I currently have Hit Finder running at 4 seconds and PC running 22 searches.

I usually do $1 at 4 seconds if I am running a lot of PANDAs unless it's super slow and then I might drop to $.50. I am *not* a FT turker so the time I have during most days I opt to maximize with higher paying HITs grab smaller HITs that are posted on the forum as I see them. Someone who works more hours may have a better strategy there. I also used HIT Finder because I think the logging function is the literal best.

edit: Caturk @Caturk should probably set lower than $1 since she gets screened out so often and needs to maximize opportunities for work.
Yea, I hadn't considered doing this before, but for the last week or so, I've been leaving hitfinder on, running all day, and looking through the logged portion.

when I first started using it, I was using it like hitscraper. but by leaving it on, it's sort of like a combination of hitscraper and hitnotifier at the same time.

I disagree with you on Number 3, I keep em for about a day if they're $4 or more and get a lot of old HITs randomly. :D

This is bad too. Scraping more than 1 page is terrible and the option should not exist anymore.
