I've varied between 2 and 6 today. Nuthin'.

Typically you should run no more than 1 or 2 pandas while you have Hit Finder on... And if Hit Finder is refreshing faster than once-every-1000milliseconds then your Pandas aren't going to catch too much.

What scripts are you using?

I need to get back to some hobbies like ham radio or model railroading like H @hockeyfan87 . About this time of night I just sit here switching between tabs and clicking refresh, especially this one which is mostly Zoltars and I know they won't approve until tomorrow anyways...

I know exactly what you mean. I keep thinking about doing some house cleaning at least...nah, I'd rather switch between tabs.

Thanks, I turned off hit finder earlier and still no luck. I have the earnings script, panda helper script, etc...what scripts do you like to use?

I'm busy all day doing something or other, but about now I just want to piddle around and go to bed in an hour. I don't watch much TV or movies and nothing interests me there tonight, so online browsing it is I guess.

totally crap hit, the intereface is just UGH and its going to take far longer than 30m to do it correctly
they know its crap snioec they raised the hit from 1.00 to 4.00 and now it seems 9.00

See I was thinking that when it was approved it was paid at the same time and that there was some sort of auto delay with the payment. 4 or 6 hours. Ah, I know. My naivete is so cute. You guys can tell me.

Unless I am misunderstanding, that is exactly correct

If you're relatively new, then start simple... Just use MTurk Suite. HIT Finder @ 1000milliseconds or slightly higher, and HIT Catcher. While Panda Crazy has more options, HIT Finer & HIT Catcher work fine for me if I want to get ~$50/day. Then run no more than 2 Pandas via HIT catcher... Running more will slow down the refresh rate of the pandas and you'll never catch anything.

Finally, for any HIT that you panda, pay attention to when the HIT shows up on Hit Finder and how long it's timer is (Duration) because you're more likely to catch a HIT as it's expiring from peoples' HIT queues 1 hour after it drops, than 1 minute after it appears on HIT Finder. If the HIT's duration is 3-hours then don't bother firing-up the panda until 2hours 55 minutes after it drops, and maybe prioritize catching other HITs in the meantime.

I just tried to honestly complete a survey in my very very minimal Spanish, but got booted when I said I wasn't Hispanic/Latino.

That's racist

Oh my god...I was just about to post about how frustrated I am that I just wasted 45 minutes of my time on this, then my poor phone died and then I returned it.....uckkk......

Really? That was just an assumption on my part that that's how it worked.

That's some really solid advice. Thanks for that. I never thought about using the HITs expiration time to my advantage.

I believe this is the most upset I have ever seen you.

Well to be fair I'm not very bright

Why does PickFu offer to email you for higher priced hits (around $2) when I have never seen a PickFu for much more than around 20 cents?

when you say drops, do mean when it expires?

That's very good advice! I'm not new, but there's still a lot I don't know. I just started trying out Hit Finder/Hit Catcher a few days ago. Do you have to limit the hits you put in Hit Catcher, same as Panda Crazy?

Because they suck
