AW: [browsershots-factories] Reward people who have a high -m setting

[Thomas Schaaf]

I am not only talking about money.. I want the service to be better.. and I
would love if the service would check if it is the wanted domain or if it
should wait a bit longer..

I don't know how hard it would be to revamp the accounting and payment
system, but it seems weird (to me) to waste cycles on that task.  There are
so many distributed computing platforms that offer zero support for the
contributors, but ask for all your spare cycles.  I've appreciated the
service I've gotten from browsershots, and I'm giving cycles more because I
appreciate it, than for the kickbacks.  The few dollars I'll get out of it
is nowhere near the value of my time to set up and babysit the factories; if
my monthly kickback is $10 under the current scheme or $15 under any new
scheme, I'd rather have Johann spend his time making the servers faster or
the code more reliable, and let some other contributor get "my" $5.

Same here, but I agree with his argument all the same. It's quality that
should be rewarded, not quantity.

Does the default behavior for this vary windows vs. linux?

I'm only running Windows factories, haven't touched -m, and it seems to
scroll down all the way for every page I've seen.

I second that.

Okay since some people didn't understand me:
You get money for every screenshot you take.
If you change the -m Parameter you can change how many times the program
scrolls. The greater the number the bigger the document which has to be
uploaded with every 3 scrolls the size basically doubles which makes the
upload time double as well. Because time is money I lose money because I am
nice. I know this is not only about money but why should people who only
scroll once get the same money like the people that's machines scroll 6 or
even 8 times. I think this parameter should not be allowed to change except
by the server. That way people who are supporting us if they have long
webpages can look at them and take screenshots. Those who are not, don't get
that long of a site and 5 scrollings are enough. 10 is a lot so I think it
is fair.

What do you mean by reward and what do you mean by 5 and 10?
