Good idea, I'll give it a crack

It would be truly awesome if we could submit work directly to you, to target Bitcoin users. And offcourse pay with bitcoins.

Thanks to all who've tried it and commented!
Sorry about the limited number and variety of tasks; I don't have direct control over them. They come via a San Francisco-based company called CrowdFlower that specializes in crowdsourcing.
During my own testing, there were often times where there were 3 different tasks on offer, with many thousands of tasks in each, so I expect the variety will again improve soon. There is also the potential for tasks in other languages. (At one point, the only tasks available were in German, which I don't speak.
)
If you wanted to provide paid-tasks, for now you'd talk to CrowdFlower and pay them with traditional currencies. Then your tasks would be sent out through their network of channel sites, of which my CoinWorker is only one. I don't know if they let task-providers narrow the target-communities for their tasks... they might. (If you wanted to provide tasks and pay in bitcoin, that'd require a bunch more custom work... maybe someday!)

This is a great idea, and for the most part this service is executed very well. My only complaint is that some of the test questions are a little off in their accuracy. Though maybe you don't have any control over that? Either way congrats on getting this off the ground. I can't wait for it to get more traffic!

Cool. Is it possible to submit work?
January 23, 2012, 11:15:03 AM
This is indeed a cool service, not only for people who need tasks done, but also for people looking to earn some BTC.
Keep up the good work

When there will be tasks available?

I love this idea.Just entered by BTC address and no tasks yet.Maybe there needs to be a way where we can keep a steady stream of tasks (by creating a backlog maybe) so that more people like myself can try this at a time when I'm available (different time zones are an issue for me as I'm in UK ,the site is based overseas).

This sounds really cool. It's like Amazon Mturk but with a much better payment system I'll give it a shot when I set up my secure wallet.

I've made a new service where anyone can earn bitcoin in the web browser. You enter your payment address, perform some analytic tasks that a paying company needs completed, and receive bitcoin as a reward soon afterward. (Minutes, when all is working.)
You could think of it as mining with your own mind, rather than a GPU.

I'd love it if people could bang on it and let me know what they think. Thanks!
