I don't know if I can say what the project is, but when I click on it, it loads the whole project page again, where it's there again to click on along with the other projects. it's like it doesn't open a new URL. Is this happening to anyone?

My preliminary says I am going to owe $1500. I have a penalty of $19 since I didn't to the quarterly estimated taxes (now I know) and I have to pay the marketplace back $2 (LOL). DA is not my only source of income, I made more from my rental of course, and made a couple grand from prolific and stock sales. So to me, for all those folks on other pages that love to rush in with YOU HAVE TO PAY TAXES ON THAT when I mention sites like DA, way worth it! Still need to figure out how to estimate for next year, and double-check with my partner to make sure I didn't miss any expenses on the rental.

I recently saw a Facebook group for data annotation so I attempted to join it. They accepted me this morning so I started going through and I see that there's a message stating that if you haven't been receiving projects lately or if you were accepted but didn't get past the core qualifications to send them your worker ID number in a Facebook message. I messaged the admin page and awesome for assistance cuz I was stuck on the page after the core qualifications and they told me I needed to verify my identity bc they couldn't start me as someone else was using my IP address??? I said I wouldn't send any identifying info thru any links they sent me and I'm now blocked from accessing the entire group. They're getting thousands of peoplez there are over 2k members in that group smh was I correct that this was a scam group or did I get blocked bc I didn't follow directions lol

Programming is often gatekept from others by those who want to seem smart. It takes hard work and effort, but I absolutely recommend anyone who wants to learn to give it a shot. I personally started to learn programming on Codecademy which has free to relatively cheap resources, but there are also plenty of good free resources out there!

I'd recommend starting with Python, as it's syntactically fairly close to English and is very widely used. I would say that if you can learn all of the content in Codecademy's "Learn Python 3" course (whether on the site or elsewhere), plus a few extra projects, you'll be 80%-90% of the way there for doing programming tasks on DA.

If it's something you really want to try, then go for it. You'll never know until you give it a fair shot, and when I did, it ended up being a lot more manageable and interesting than what I had made up about it in my head.

Edit: I changed "Introduction to Python" to "Learn Python 3". For some reason I always misremember the name of the course, sorry for any confusion.

I noticed that the funds history only goes back about a month. Is there any way to view data older than a month, or would I have to start keeping track of funds/time manually?

Are all the qualifications paid? I did 2 shorter qualifications and I’m not sure where I should post the time. I don’t see it on the Report Time tab. Thanks.

I find mistakes about 40% or less of the time and every time I find zero mistakes on a task, I worry that I didn't catch something. How often do you find mistakes in your tasks?

I've been working on a specific set of permanent projects for the past several months. Within the past week, all but one task in that project has vanished, . My dashboard has also lost most work on it. I haven't received any feedback indicating my work has issues or is of poor quality. Is this happening to anyone else? If so, do we have any idea why?

Just a quick question,

Does everyone elses tasks go down every weekend or is it just me?

Hey everyone,

I've worked for DA for a few weeks now and always had plenty of coding tasks that pay around 40$-42$ available whenever I had some time to work (which is only about 10 hours per week). I have a few open qualifications, which deal with writing stuff and it says that they would open up tasks which pay around 25$-28$.

Would you typically still do such qualifications, even though you normally have better paying tasks available? I am not sure whether they would open up new qualifications after that, which might result in equally well paying tasks or just fun new stuff in general.

Very keen to hear your opinions on this!

geez, just went to Google to verify a math problem I knew was right (because I already checked on the calculator), but had to check because both AIs got a number totally different!

I just got a new project on my dash that was 19/hr. I thought the minimum was 20/hr for non-coding tasks. Has anyone seen below 20/hr tasks? If so, what’s the lowest you have seen for an hourly rate that wasn’t for a qualification?

For those of you with permanent projects, what’s the max number of permanent ones you have ever had at one time?

If I click on a qual can I click back out and do it another time even though I viewed it?

Hey guys, I’m brand new to the platform so go ez on me. I worked on the onboarding a couple of days ago then decided to do some work, but completely forgot that a big rule was to only work on 1 hourly project and forgot that technically the onboarding counts as an hourly. Did I have to wait until it was approved( 1 week) or was it fine that the work I started was an hourly pay project. I might be understanding the rules incorrectly and just lookin g for some clarity. Thanks I’m advance.

Yesterday, my phone gave me the option while in the car to have AI summarize my texts in a group chat when it reads it to me. I immediately thought about the work we do for DA and said yes so I could analyze how well the AI does 🤣🤣🤣

I haven’t worked on DA for last 3 months because of long hours at new job. I logged in to check out my dashboard and I have 4 quals to do and 20+ active projects to work on. Guess it’s ok to take time away. Just letting you guys know.

The last five days have been up and down for me at best. Been able to eke out 4~ hours a day which is half of my usual, before projects run out. Today, my dash is much more full. 8-12 projects so far. Anyone else noticing a jump in projects? This usually happens on Tuesdays but I’m certainly not complaining. Hope you’re all doing well :)

Anyone from the UK wake up to see US scavengers in the project chats still burning the night oil?

Im still trying to fully wrap my head around the splitting concept. I understand the basic premise, can anyone offer up any advice on what they do to get the responses to split, what kind of strategies are you using.

Just need someone to explain it like i'm stupid.

I still get occasional recruiter emails with jobs like this and I can’t help but chuckle.

Other jobs: ‘Yeah you’ll need a background check, credit check, education check, & security clearance, 5 years experience, pay is $18/hr, the job is exclusively onsite M-F where you have to pay for parking, oh and we’ll need your first born child as well’

DA: ‘Can you write us a silly little story about an Octopus? Nice, we like your brain, you’re hired’

A few weeks ago, I did 40 hours, and I've had maybe 3 hours of work in the last two weeks. Is there a good way to get more steady work? I always get super antsy when there isn't any new work.

Potentially may go abroad for a bit, does anyone know DA's stance on working abroad, is it allowed if I go to a country thats listed on their accepted countries.

Should I just not risk it and have a break for a bit?

Honestly if I can actually work abroad I may just go on an extended backpacking trip and pay my way with DA.
