Cat cuddling is very profitable too. Search the startups for cat-cuddling companies.

I saw one today in the neighborhood. It's called Pet Butler and their motto is "we scoop poop." I guessing dog walkers but "pet" must mean they clean litter boxes too. Probably baby sit the animals when people go on vacation.

I'm at 962 HITS...sliding into 1000..so still new..bear with me, I'll probably ask a lot of dumb questions. I'm trying to figure out scripts right now. I tried to use HIT Scraper and totally panicked because I didn't know that the time would already be running out on some tasks before you got to them. I didn't have time to finish, so I panicked again, didn't know how to empty my queue and just clicked return on all of them. I'm assuming I didn't have to do all that..but I didn't know what to do. What if some of the HITS in your queue expire? When they are in your queue are you the only one who has access to do them?

Doesn't matter if hits expire in your queue.
No different than returning them.
I return/let expire probably 100 hits over the course of an average work day.

I like the idea of using altcoins as payment.. it just takes too long to verify transactions.
btc takes forever
eth ..you have to pay higher gas rates to get your payment to clear faster
ltc still takes 20-40 minutes per transaction
bch/bcc takes at least an hour

I don't know the typical times for other coins, but I can't imagine they're much better.

Underachiever.

Underachiever.

Sometimes more.
I know I've maxed out @ 3400 HITs submitted a few times....so 400 returns/expires.

Ok, cool. So what if you decide you're done with a HIT and want to switch over to a different one, do you just let that one expire?

I don't even accept a fraction of that each day. You inspire me.

If they're in your queue, it means they've been accepted, and the timer starts ticking. And yes, if there's only one of a hit available, and it ends up in your queue, you will be the only one with access to do them until it either expires or is returned (unless you complete them, at which point the task just ends)
The queue will always show things from least to most time, and you can normally work through things in that order alright, but it is good to keep an eye on your queue and make sure you don't have too much buildup.

You can just open multiple tabs or pick a different one from your queue.

something you might want to take note of
if there is a task that looks decent, but you had a hard time getting it, keep a panda running, especially around the expiration time from when it first appears

there's all sorts of people that are just as, or slightly less of a punk as @C to the J
they don't care
crap's expiring?
they say the spanish have a term for that; "no importa"

he's the embodiment of the word, "pffft"
