    and thanks for posting the hit :emoji_slight_smile: I see you were able to finish in 28 min. I must be really slow or maybe the hits are different in some ways.

    We should keep the coins going for the visitors, make it a perk to have them go away if they signup.

    Same, though I usually allow myself ~$15 in leeway since you can usually get at least that much on weekends.

    Sounds good too. Also, I've also been ignoring bonuses as part of my daily and just considering them "extra".

    Glad you liked part 2 :D

    For those who didn't figure it out: My hit today was an april fool's hit. It was set to return itself as soon as you accepted it. Doesn't matter if you hit return or not, it was gone as soon as it loaded. Sorry if you ran into any other trouble with any hits, it was all in good fun!

    I'll try to have a consolation prize up for the people who tried on Monday. Can't guarantee anything, but I'll give you all a custom qual and set up a hit if I have the funds.

    Happy April everyone!
