One major con that continuously came up was the waiting period before you got your account Active. Gomez, on the other hand, did work and I had to concur with some of what I had found in my research.
GOMEZ PEER LOGIN INSTALL
Many people had trouble getting CashGopher to run (it sounds like from Eddy’s previous article that it may have something to do with the anti-virus), so when I eventually tried to install and run it, when it failed to function properly, I just gave up on it. I also read thru a bunch of reviews and forum posts about these companies. I also checked out BBB, and at that point Gomez was the only one that had anything on it (CashGopher was just too new, I guess, but since it advertised that it was from MyLot, I saw that MyLot had a decent rating). I first searched this sight, but alas Eddy hadn’t gotten to them yet. I guess it was looking promising in the late 90s early 00s, but interest eventually waned (computers continued to get better and cheaper, so companies didn’t really need this resource).īut then I found both Gomez and CashGopher at about the same time, and started to do my homework on these companies. Businesses could also purchase credits to spend on the “processor farm” to study / solve some large computational task.
I guess for awhile there was some buzz about an “open” program that you could earn credits to allow the software to run in the background, and cash the credits in for money, based on their current value. When I first started it, I was working at a school that ran the Community Grid, and I got to wondering if there was a paid program that did something similar. I’m actually one of the “successes” with this opportunity.
