01/25 - We Are Number One on Wednesday!

[frogman31680]

Folks, i dont want to sound superior or anything, but i got to share this with y'all.

I am currently in the Philippines, 300 ms ping from the Amazon Server, and i managed to make 192 today. I believe i might even cap tomorrow onwards. So, if you are not being able to cap, you are doing something wrong. Being in the US with a superior connection, mine is only 3 MB, and considerably closer to the Servers should give you an edge on me, and i almost capped following the tips of the people in here.

So, dont give up. Just try to review what you are doing and fix the mistakes.

Maybe you could provide a breakdown of the things you have done? Cause I have done pretty much everything. Set PC to go HAM on them starting at 8AM EST and running nothing else for 2 hours. I still get six at most queued and no more until I complete some of them. Even then, it's a trickle.

Well not everyones computer can handle the work either. Like i had a computer where the scripts would take a little to load and i couldnt click enter to load. Now i have a quad core. Click 5 times and im done and onto the next one in twenty seconds. It has to do with your computer and specs too

My computer is a cheap working machine. It freezes and is kind slow to load sometimes. It always freezes when i am trying to clear a captcha. So, i do not own a gamer desktop or a speedy machine. My computer is below average, it costed me 220 dollars only.

Oh, okay.

 

[Kerek]

can I change the scroll to workplace script to scroll down just a tad but more?

Yes but I don't know what you mean.

Edit: You're usually better off hiding whatever junk at the top of the specific HITs you want to not see.

Are you using a VPN to make it look like you're turking from the US?

RIP your account

I think its still against TOS. I could understand being in a different state but a different country seems like a big no no. Can any of the admins or folks more in tune with the rules weigh in on this ?

Oh, okay.

If you put it through Google translate it says " Dreaming of gentrification in your building?".

Why yes, that's all I ever dream about.

Well then its not that cheap. The dual core i had froze sometimes and the zoltars were a big thing and they would freeze and id be lucky to get in 2 in a 1 minute period. But im not gonna get into a huge computer debate when theres hits to be done.

MTurk is more YMMV and it's dependent on a lot of variables.

From the TOS
Unfortunately, Mechanical Turk currently does not support U.S. persons residing outside the United States.

I get newer laptops for $30 a piece. A guy that runs a second hand shop doesn't know how to repair or work on the software, so he sells them as broken to me.

I had a quad core laptop with full 17" touchscreen. $30.

But Dell locked the hard drive and I couldn't get it unlocked. Still sold it off for $200

Idk man, I live in a big city with good itnernet and a fast computer. I can set pandacrazy to ham them all day and still not cap somehow. I've tried everything I can think of so if you want to share your secrets feel free.
