I'm glad the site is working well for you!

The relative task values come from the companies/projects that originate the tasks... and they can adjust the values over time. (Also, sometimes task interfaces, explanations, and training data are fixed when at first they are confusing or inconsistent.) So if a task doesn't seem worth the effort, skip it -- and it may get improved when the task originators aren't getting enough quality contributions.


That tracking is out of my control -- it comes from the task back-end. But from others' reports, it's not always a permanent lock-out. Just keep checking back to see if new batches of tasks can again use your contributions.

Sorry, there was a different backlog problem. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, payments are now caught up.

Note, though, that even when everything is working smoothly, eligible balances are paid about twice an hour, and there are a few other minor normal lags. So it could be up to 40 minutes after you hit the threshold that your payment transaction goes out. I've improved the wording on the profile page to better explain this.


That would be helpful. However, the listing of tasks comes from the task back-end (CrowdFlower), so a request for improvements there should go through the 'Help' -> 'Get Support' area available from the top-right "Help' button when working on a task. (I'm guessing that the per-task remaining eligibility and overall task-lists must come from different systems for CrowdFlower, or they would have fixed this already to save contributors time.)

Thanks Warge, I really like coinworker, earned 550+ points.
2 things

Some tasks seem underpaid, 3 points for 3 pages that are long and require multiple searches is too little.
3 points a page would be more satisfactory

I seem to of had too low a pass rate on some tasks and are unable to re-try them, could this be changed?

Thanks

Are you sure the bug is fixed? (Sorry, this is my first time on coinworker).
I've had over 200 points for 16 minutes now, but no payout. How long should I wait?

Also, feature request, can tasks be removed from the wall after "You have completed all of the work that you can for this task."?

I'm sorry, a bug in my payment-composing code stalled payments, starting about 22 hours ago. As of now, the bug is fixed and all payments due should be caught up.

What's happening with the payment 

A PM to me here, or mention/DM via Twitter (@CoinWorking), are the best ways to request I look into something.

I've responded privately to your PM with the results of my investigation so far.

How do I contact customer support at Coinworker? 

I got a reply to messages I posted at getsatisfaction.com/crowdflower about some tasks I completed but didn't get paid for.
Michael @ crowdflower sent me some payment ids that he told me I should forward to "customer support at Coinworker"
in order to get paid.

I thought that crowdflower forum was the customer support forum for coinworker. 

Where do I forward those payment ids?
I shouldn't post those ids here in this thread should I?

I sent you, WargeGeoshington, a pm about this but am still waiting for a reply.

Thanks. 

PM sent!

neat project, Good work

Most of the task works very well, but I have found a small bug.

There is a work where the user must first the first result of a Google search (for example a Lyric).

There is a problem: Google sometimes doesn't show the same results with the same query. If You find the same query in different countries, Google will show You different lists. This is a problem with the trap-questions, which doesn't have in account this detail.

Cool project! I earn my first 200 points yesterday

I'm not aware of any conditions in the last month that, once an address balance reaches 200 points, would have delayed the issuance of a payment transaction more than about 40 minutes.

If I've identified your account properly, I think the issue is that you've split your work across two different pay-to addresses, one with a 102 point balance and another with a 111 point balance. Currently, the threshold is calculated per address, which is a vestige of the original CoinWorker setup, where there were no login accounts,  only pay-to addresses.

This will soon be fixed to be based your login's total, and each account will be able to set their own preferred threshold, once the default threshold is reached the first time. If you don't want to wait, PM me and I'll figure a way to roll the whole credit to the address you've used more recently, so that one address will be owed 213 points, triggering payment. 

For future reference, if you have a specific task or payment history that you'd like to privately ask me to take a closer look at, you can send me a PM/DM via here or Twitter (to @CoinWorking), with the account or pay-to-address details.

Also for the curious, I haven't "already got money" from CrowdFlower for these tasks... those payments arrive about 1-2 months after the original tasks. All the usual bitcoin payouts that occur sooner than that are being fronted by CoinWorker.

At the exact time you wrote this message, there was a risk activity would outstrip the ability to pay promptly, so offered rates were reduced by a lot as an emergency message -- for about 8 hours. Rates are still a little lower than usual, until I'm sure my usual channels for promptly buying bitcoins are again working.

My goal has been to enforce regularity of payment above all else: you get the payment offered under the terms at the time you did the tasks, as soon as possible. I would rather temporarily reduce offered rates, than ever pause payouts.

Cool project! 

It's true, for the same work they offer less and less with time, so you work for less that a dollar per hour.
Apparently, some are still happy to do the job, so why not?

I finally had time to complete my 200 points batch, but it hasn't been paid yet, and it's been more than 8 hours.

If my points are already in the coinworker's DB, how come it takes so long to send the payment to Bitcoin network?

coinworker FAQ says something about network conditions "not being perfect" can delay payments but that sounds like total BS to me.

It's your own web site, you already got money, what's the problem with sending payments from your own website through your own Bitcoin client?

They are just testing how low they can go until users quit working. The pay already is very low, even when they offer more points. I refuse to do any of those offers because the work required doesn't justify it, not even if you just do it to waste some time.

That aside, crowdflower doesn't seem to be very interested to help users who complain either. Their support forum has quite a few posts from people who ran into problems and only a minority gets answers.

i think alakim may be right about the point values degrading. It used to be "For a given Search Query, how relevant are the 30 shown items?" for 12 points. Now its "For a given Search query, how relevant are the 36 shown items?" for 8 points. Oh well, Im still gonna do it anyways...

Payments in your system are not being processed for hours...

Please check if it is working properly.

Good service but unfortunately prices rather degrade.
I was hoping it'd be higher, maybe 30-40 point per task, and now you can rarely see 7-12... Today I saw 0.75 points for the first time..

Do you know any specific reason for that?
