07/19 - Threatening Thursday!

I was trying to figure out why I was getting so many PREs. It was just a little experiment I was doing to see if hit catcher was coming up with a bunch as well...

 

@Momof1 - Wow someone knew what Mechanical Turk was? I would've taken the bait and started accusing her of rejecting one of my survey's and trying to explain that was the reason I was at therapy. Or alternate "Yeah all I do is survey's. Hope you liked that 'data' for your dissertation. Wench"

 

You should only be running one panda script and one scraping script*. What settings do you have each at anyways?

*You can run additional tabs of a scraping script at a long refresh rate for a batch scraper ect without any issues.

 

okay its not just me

goes to the gym

 

Don't forget your pokeballs.

 

I take my balls with me everywhere

 

Yeah...I had a rogue hit forker in the background behind another window I forgot about. Both were set at 2 seconds...I have panda at default settings cause I don't really know enough about it to play with those. And forker at 2 seconds.

How many Pandas do you run on PandaCrazy? Does anyone tweak the settings or is everything calibrated right as is?

I'm not sure how long to hold on to them. Missed out on too many HOTDs!

Never more than 5

I usually keep them for one round of expires/returns then delete them if I dont catch anything

If its a really high paying hit that's been posted multiple times throughout the day ill leave it longer

 

i decreased the timer as much as i could go until there were pre's. 800ms is good for me. i usually only run 2 on constant, csat 1.12s and csat search. then i'll turn on pinterest or pfa if overwatch catches them. or ill add any higher paying surveys if i really want them

 

I suggest keeping it under 5 as it just cycles through them. You can add a few high weight pandas for closed quals that you have that drop or w/e but try to keep the number fairly low and not more than 10.

 

I never try to surpass 20 at a time. Any more than that and the cycle time just wont work since the objective is to get a HIT asap as it bcomes available. 10-15 is optimal, but less is better.
