I have three tabs refreshing.

I'll check in 30 minutes to see if I made any real money. If so, I'll have to start running it on all my computers :)

Activity Points: 1
Payment rate: $0.45 per hour
Hours spent surfing: 0.07

Your earnings: $0.02

Shouldn't that be $.03 now? I don't think I make any more money by having multiple windows/tabs open. I guess I'll have to open multiple accts :)

Crap. I guess if you want to use your computer, you can't have the thing running. It keeps opening it's browser window on top :(

And it's safe to use a hack or program to auto-refresh your windows? Clearly states in the TOS that they can take legal action if fraud is detected.

Got it running on my other machine.

Time is: 8:09. 6 windows open.

6 x $.45 = $2.70

We'll find out if six windows helps.

well, you click on the link in your profile and it opens up a new window with an adframe with pages that keep refreshing. no clicking on ads or anything, it just puts the new window on top of everything when it refreshes.

I don't know of a way to hack it. It does everything through your browser.

It doesn't cost $324 a month to keep a computer running 24/7.

Hmm. I made one account and logged in fine. Shut down firefox, re-logged in, and it said my account didn't exist. Weird.

Made another one though and have it going in 6 different tabs. Just to see really... up to 5 cents now.

Ooooh. Down to 0 cents... going to 1 tab.

So you pretty much can't use the computer while it runs.

If you have two monitors, what about putting the ad browser on the secondary?

And they don't do ANY checks at all to prove that you're actually AT the computer while it runs?

It looks to me like you can only do it on one computer at a time because you actually have to log in to the session. Furthermore, you can't have more than one account, so you're really limited to one ad screen for yourself. Am I right or wrong?

And what about a check to prove you're at the computer actually watching them? Does it detect mouse movements?
