Why isn't there much work?

Anthony.

The longer I live, the more reasons I develop for wanting to die.

Message from server: (Project has no jobs available)

everyday all day is this project defunct?

Should I just drop this project and look for one that has jobs available?

The project is not defunct. See the thread titled "No more work?".

The only thing to do is wait until the project has work available.

They issue a batch of tasks and wait until they are all completed and verified. Before they can issue a new batch they need time to analyze the results from the previous batch. That can take weeks or even months.

Well it looks like I checked at the right time.

I picked up around 50 tasks just before it was back to zero.
