In the end if you think about it. Is $.45 an hour really worth the time? Not trying to shoot down this project (I've even done some myself) or anything but just putting in my 2 bitcents.
ur at a loss as i see it then.

u spent an hr and made .45

spent some seconds typing up this reply for no cents.

and then gave up 2 bitcents.


yikes!

I agree. 0.4 is a little high, 0.2 BTC threshold would work better.

The payout is almost instant Smiley

Not anymore it seems:

"Payments are currently on hold for pending balances under 200 points."

That is a lot of time, to build up to .4 btc before getting paid... and right now there aren't any available tasks for me. 

Is that balance held indefinitely or will it eventually get paid out after 24hrs or something?

The tasks are very easy, the rate isn't so bad if you need to get some Bitcoins fast.

I work on it when I'm in bed. instead of reading a book, which costs money, I now earn money lol

And it's so more easy to fall asleep after half an hour of boring dull tasks Wink

Try Amazon's Mechanical Turk and see how well you fare. Bet CoinWorker pays better than mturk.
You're quite right! I took a look at https://www.mturk.com/mturk/findhits?match=false and it seems that $0.03 to $0.12 per hour seems to be mainstream. CoinWorker is far better with a rate of about $0.45 per hour compared to Amazon's Mechanical Turk.

I registered with CoinWorker today, to give it a try and I would like to share my experience with you.

I picked a task to answer questions about what people felt about a movie called Project X, judging by their tweets. At the beginning, I was in training mode. The system was asking me questions so I could get the hand of it. I think there were 12-15 question in training mode.

After that, the real thing started and I was trying to figure out what the people were feeling about the movie. The payout was 6 points for every 3 pages work, each page containing 4 questions (i.e. 6 points for every 12 questions). I answered 15 pages of questions (not counting the ones in the training mode), which is 60 questions and spend about 45 minutes. I checked my account and the balance was 0.067BTC. At that rate I was able to make 0.089BTC per hour (this is roughly 37 euro cents per hour with today's exchange rates). I guess those kind of questions were too difficult for me.... I might try sometime with a different task and see how it goes Smiley

But let me clear something out. The service WargeGeoshington provides is not bad at all. This post is only about my experience. For other people, it might be a lot more useful.

I tried to register, but when I clicked the link in the verification email it told me the key was invalid. I seem to be able to log in anyway, though.

I've had to add a registration/login requirement and clearer terms of service to deal with some abuse.

Once registered, if you're sure to do your *first* work as a registered user with a preferred address/extended-address you've used before, your worker history/reputation will carry over to your login account.

I'm sure I'll need to iron out some bugs from this transition, but it then should be easier to set a personal preference on pay-frequency/thresholds.

Please let me know any glitches or problems you see (separate from those that need to be reported direct to task authors). Thanks!

Thank you Warge for inventing CoinWorker!

Now even my dad can mine bitcoins.
I get to look at boobs all the time, and wife 2.0 approves of it! (because she gets to look at cocks Smiley ).

I've successfully solved many 2, 3, 6 and 12 points tasks with great accuracy and I wonder why can't I continue solving tasks if there is enough tasks available on my tasks list? Right now there are 200 available tasks for 12 points, but I cannot work on them as the system is keep telling me that the task doesn't have any more available work.

Is it like there are currently 200 people solving the task, or it has to do with something else?

Thanks.

It would be great if this could be expanded to countries where people don't get paid a lot.  I know some people in China that get paid less than $1 an hour.  That would also promote use of bitcoin with even more unstable currencies.

The new "Answer a few questions about a website (Candada - DAYOFWEEK task #6)" task isn't working for me.

I clicked it, clicked the link to bring up a google page, searched in google, found the link on the 3rd page of results, clicked it, found the 3rd featured game, and filled in the form.  Then I was told:

"Could not save your work
You must click through to the specified web page."

I tried it twice, and got the same result both times.

I wonder if my ad blocker is interfering.

Edit: I tried it without the ad blocker and get the same result.

Also, they ask "would you use this site?" but not "why not?".  I wouldn't use it, because they don't accept bitcoin, and would like the option to tell them that that's the reason.

Edit: I tried in Firefox as well as in Chromium and got the same error

I believe it's best to report that to the actual company that submitted the job. Coinworker probably can't help with you with that, I think.

I tried a few tasks yesterday and received a couple of small transactions. Per se that's great, but at the same time it clutters up my client.
I'd definatively would use it more if I could trigger the payment myself, or if you'd switch to a daily transfer.

i agree. i find the way it's set up at the moment to be quite spammy.

sure they save on tx fees by using sendmany. but you're almost guaranteed to have tx fees yourself when you go to consolidate all those tiny inputs.

would be much better if you could let your balance accumulate.
He can still save tx fees. Just replace "pay now" with "request payment" and he could wait for a bunch of requests; and if notbody else does a request in eg 6 hours, send a single tx.
I mean, we're talking about cents here. It's not like waiting for a payment would ruin your financial existence. Heck, even a single payout at midnight would be ok with me.

I think he said earlier that the jobs are provided by different people and the company he gets them all from just puts them together. So the different people are 'competing' for you to do their jobs by providing more pay and making them easier than others. So by not doing that job, you're convincing them that they need to pay more to get it done. Smiley

Indeed. I think I've seen tasks come back with changed payouts. I've definitely seen the UI improve to make answering quicker and easier: the interface for rating ecommerce search results used to require a lot of manual scrolling and had no keyboard shortcuts.

The tasks on offer seem a bit thin now but definitely in the long run, the projects injecting tasks are competing against each other for contributor attention, and making their tasks pay more or have smoother interfaces and clearer standards are some ways they compete.
