Names please?

Good work!

I did the 6.00 survey posted earlier. I did the 2.50 madlabs hits. (They post these a lot, I do them whenever I see them)
Bunch of the .03 mobile motion hits. The rest is a closed qual hit I'm doing for a requester.

Edit: I for got about a couple Sergey hits, the Stanford survey for .80, and (my first) $2.00 pin.

It just occurred to me that many people do not know how terrible it is to purchase coffee.
about how it greatly contributes to deforestation, which is a direct link to increasing the co2 levels in our atmosphere without the plants to filter the air.
about how it greatly contributes to slavery and poor wages in other countries, just so that we can pay less than $1 per cup.
about how it destroys the economies of the countries wherein the coffeebean is grown, simply by virtue of being such a top export, despite the farmer barely making anything.

I buy fair trade, organic. plus shade grown when I can find it. Not all coffee is bad, but you have to be willing to pay a little more. There are good deals out there though.

So, um... okay. Gonna go work on some survivor stuff.

Any one cash out at prolific lately? I saw this banner at the top
Due to changes in the way PayPal are charging we've been forced to update the fees to 2.9%+20 for all cashouts to PayPal. Don't worry though, you'll still have a free option for cashouts over £20 with Circle.

Has anyone used Circle? Should I just take the fee and go through paypal (I have over 20 in prolific).

i was JUST on the prolific site and didn't see this, wtf? i've never heard of circle. just transferred a bunch to my paypal last week.

 

[The Bad Ash]

Anyone else doing that CERL hit today?

They decided to do it at a time I'm unavailable so I'm missing out. Though they said I can do it some other time. Kinda disappointed about that. Seems pretty juicy.

It's too early to make me feel guilty.

It was on the cashout page

I went ahead and transferred to Paypal and will see what the fees are. I really don't want to switch to something else, but don't want to pay a lot of fees for Paypal. Just wondered if anyone else had used circle and can verify it is safe.

yeah i'm also curious to hear if anyone has experience with circle

Man this stinks. My laptop pooped out on me a few weeks ago so I pulled the trigger last week on buying a new one, thinking I'd pay for it with mturk earnings. It's been my worst week since I've been turking. booooooooooooo

I used Circle for bitcoins when they were dealing with them, and never had issues with the company. They are safe to use.

And I guess this is my first post on the website. Long time lurker

Thanks -- I'm going to see how this transfer goes and will decide if I want to use Circle for next month's payout on Prolific
