This one is floating around currently. I grabbed it this morning. In this HIT you will be asked to make 150 virtual bank transactions. The assignment takes only approximetly 2.5 hours long (~ 1minute per transaction) Requires Chrome 9+, Firefox 4+ or IE8+ Avoid changing your IP while working the HIT. Other detailed instructions in the HIT. You are allotted 3 days to complete it. Quals: Total approved HITs is greater than 500, HIT approval rate (%) is not less than 95. No stated geographic restrictions. Requester: Human Computer Interaction Research (A1ELKVZ2J83ZH) According to Turkopticon, it pays in 5 days; the autoapprove value is 21 days. EDIT - I tried a few of these test transactions. I found it will take longer to do the transactions than the requester admits. His one minute estimate per is, IMO, quite optimistic. My best case was 2 minutes, which bloats the time for the entire HIT up to 300 minutes (5 hours). I can do better than $1 an hour with less aggravation. I returned the HIT uncompleted. YMMV.
I am starting to get closer to a U.S. minimum wage on MTurk, but this does sound interesting. Any idea what the point of this HIT is? Sounds sort of fishy.
It's risky. I accepted the hit a month ago. First the password given was incorrect, the requester mailed the password after a day. Then, after a few trials, the page wouldn't proceed. No matter what I do the page just used to get stuck. I returned the hit. I am glad the page got stuck in the initial few tries. I dread the thought of the page getting stuck after a 100 trials. Its impossible to do it in 2.5 hours. Add an hour to it at least and consider the pay out. Its not a great pay.
I done my TO research for this HIt and see what I found http://turkopticon.differenceengines.com/A1ELKVZ2J83ZH
