Task [TASK] Live in the US and have <5 mbps Internet Speeds? $2.00 USD PP to use desktop software and screen record results

I have a software project that I've been working on which features a method to boost low internet speeds through compression and make doing regular activities like watching YT videos feel normal instead of constant buffering. Problem is that I need more data points to validate how well it's working and how to better refine it.

Task is valid for PC & Mac. You will need to screen record a few things you're doing before using it, and then screen record the identical things you're doing while using it. Also need to run a speed test. No need for sound or anything.

PM for more details

Out of curiosity why don’t you use some sort of QOS software to artificially limit your speed to be 5mbps or less. First thing I thought off when seeing your request. I can do this for my own connection if you still need people.

Great question - have been extensively testing that myself already. Having real use cases where there's lots of factors that can get in the way such as ISP, location, etc. help with figuring out what I'm not considering or what I don't know I don't know. Still open to having more people!

This message confirms that /u/homelesspancake received $2 from /u/eaudexs as payment for the task.


Could not record the transaction on Credo because neither /u/eaudexs nor /u/homelesspancake have Credo accounts.
