hmmm, I don't know. I was doing them up til about an hour ago. I think there were over 100 left when I quit doing them.
nah they got killed, didn't expect them to go that fast on a friday evening. They just died and my turkalert says they were up for ~6 1/2 hours
I've only done the occasional HIT for him, how do you deal with the time requirement? Yeah, I know, I can MAKE it take 2 minutes or whatever the number is, but unless you have some other quick thing to do while you wait it has never seemed very good.
I gave up on CR. I was never very fast at them and the pages are just... awful. I did two earlier (out of about 10 I skipped through) and decided not to waste my time with it again. Too painful.
Can you queue them up? That's typically what people do when they need to "cook" HITS. Once they're loaded into your queue Turk will automatically feed them to you oldest-first.
this I usually make ~20 cents a minute and they give good bonuses when you do good work. But yea, very painful. Only so many ways you can describe a shitty article
I've never known how well that really works. I mean it makes the time reported by mturk look good, but whatever server is producing the content for the frame surely still knows when I actually opened up the HIT and submitted it... and can tell if the times for two HITs overlap. Depends on how it is programmed I guess.
See the thing I don't get is mostly everyone on here state that they want to make more than minimum wage. John Smith is nothing like that. If you wait the 7 minutes like he says you must do in his .70 hits, your hourly wage is only $6 The .15 cent hits is only an hourly wage of $4.50 The thing is, he thinks that waiting that time will ensure better quality. What it does is makes his hits just shy of unbearable to me. The app annotation hits can be completed successfully and with quality work in a minute or less a hit. Instead, I have to complete the hit, wait around for an additional minute or so and then hit submit. It's frustrating. If hard blocks and rejects are a thing because you don't follow his time limit, then to me it is almost not worth it. I only do them when there is no other bigger money to be had.
I suppose it could be coded that way. I haven't heard of a requester using anything but the elapsed time between HIT acceptance and HIT submission, though.

Time mostly depends on your reading speed.
Inside the hit, there is a timer or each page which shows the requester how much time we spend on each page.
Stick with it, it sucks at first. But seriously, quals are very important. Can't stress it enough, if you see one up, suck it up and do it even if it looks boring. I remember when I first started I didn't care for ocmp because they looked too complicated. Now, I've seen enough people make bank (off certain quals, not all of them) to reassess my stance. Point being, don't be afraid to branch out and do work you aren't comfortable with and ABQ!!
I always have hitscraper set to show things im not qualified for then I will request whatever qualifications necessary (if that is what you mean), although I have noticed when I request a qualification and I dont get it immediately it usually takes a good amount of time before it goes through. I will definitely start doing things that are more out of my comfort zone though.
All of this talk of quals got me thinking... What if someone went down the list of quals from start to finish and requested them all? I wonder what percentage would be approved...
I don't think I've ever gotten a qual that I requested that wasn't either auto qual or a test. I'm still waiting on the masters one I requested though, it should come any day.
Why do you say the dream is dead? I thought about doing that when I started turking until I saw that some qualification tests cant be retaken. lol
