Hello Lotters,
I was also excited about this new scheme coming from the admin of mylot. It was one of the talks of this week and every one seemed excited about it. but on the other hand I was a bit pessimistic too because of my experience with mylot task.
And the thought of it actually came true. but a lot worse.
It won't work on me simply because I am using Linux Ubuntu and the setup is only good for Windows Operating System.
So much for the wait. the rest who are using windows OS, you can download it now and use it.
PS: must register first before download.
(sigh)

Hey Letran! It didn't work for me either and I have AOL and
Internet Explorer! I am very upset because I put in all my
personal info and downloaded the software (which came with a
warning)! I am trying to get my "computer guy" to check it out,
but don't know when he can and I hope I didn't "corrupt" my
computer! I have written to them, but not heard back!

The "please wait" prompt was like taking forever for me!
I don't know what went wrong though but I am actually still waiting for it to complete as I'm typing here.

I also look forward to earning from Cashgopher. However, tonight I tried to download and then installed it, it failed. The problem window occurred. My computer is Windows XP and I can't find out what's wrong with it. Perhaps many people login it and therefore there are technical problems available. I hope it will be fixed soon.
I love China

Hello youless,
I have actually registered and joined cashgopher but i can't use it's software because my OS isn't compatible to it. some people were able to download the set up but there was trouble with the installation. well, it's only a pioneer software, there's going to be a lot of loopholes for now.

Hello sweetie. if you're using windows, it works. if others then i guess it won't but lets wait for alice to say something. oh, i forgot, she doesn't know the details, might as well wait for them to tell her.

Hello Kyel_11,
I don't really know much about it but it seems it needs a specific kind of windows operation system. I've heard it takes hours to download and some believe it's hard to uninstall if you don't want or need it anymore.good luck to you as well.

I think you should install a windows OS. I know you're kind of traumatized with how Windows, a proprietary software, crashed and somehow f*cked up your computer. But I think, not only for the sake of cashgopher, you should just take the risk. I also had a lot of crashes with windows and now I've installed another OS together with windows, and I do a weekly maintenance like spybot, virus scan, and deletion of files I no longer need. How do you install another OS? You should make a partition on your harddrive and install the linux based OS on of the partition that you made and windows os on the other. This will make your maintenance simpler yet tedious. You could do virus scans and adware scans on windows, and after doing those, you could double check if your computer has other virus which were undetected using the linux os.
I did everything I stated above and my windows has been running for a year now without any problems.

I'm not downloading it yet since this is the work puter and I don't want any conflicts whatsoever. I'll just take a look at what others have to say first and seemingly some have downloaded, remains to be seen what their feedbacks are.

Hello zed,
how are you friend? yeah, you're right. let's wait for others future comment with regards to results of this software. well, am sure there's a lot of bugs that people are complaining at now. good decision there.

Hello neildc,
for one thing, i wouldn't sacrifice Linux for another download. even if it's coming from Mylot people. i lost a lot when i was still in windows. but i won't risk sacrificing this pc for crashing down again. besides, i can live with it. good old posting is still the best for me.and am fine.

Bad luck.. I think you will have to wait a little longer..
have you reported the error to the admin.. just wait till they make it compatible to work on linux.. also you can contact Linux for help.. I think they have some software that enables to install windows compatible software to be installed on Linux.. Hope you don't have to wait long..
best of luck..

I don't have to. because i chose not to, and thanks a lot for linux, i wasn't tempted to do it. I think i was blessed some how. why? i felt good that i didn't have this software on my pc.

Hello ybong,
yeah, same here. i don't i like the idea on some one watching over my internet activities. i mean, it's private for petes sake. this idea of spying wasn't even explain in the site so it makes it so doubtful.

Hello Metatronik,
No, the cashgopher site is clear, it won't accept other Operating system besides Windows.but that's alright, i don't am interested in it anymore. besides, posting is still good and legitimate with people spying on you. good luck with it i guess.

hello akopoaysi,
I won't change my OS to this. i had experience in the past how dangerous having windows around. and might get tempted into downloading stuff again like those musics and videos. msot specially the sims 2 downloads. i think i can let this one go. if you're mac doesn't bug with virus, i suggest you don't sacrifice Mac.

hi letranknight25,
it won't work for me either because i go on mylot from a library computer. hopefully in the future, they can think of a way for people who access mylot from a public terminal to use cashgopher also.

Hello kristin19, It's just a pioneer program, am sure there's going to be a lot of bugs comming along. if this is an experiment, i don't want to be a internet lab rat.

hi letranknight25,
yes you're right. it is better to wait until they work everything out before we try it. also who knows maybe in the future we won't have to download anything onto our computers in order to use it.

I'm using Windows specifically Vista and it does not work on me either. Yeah that really sucks.
What a bummer! I was really excited as you are come September 1st. I had classes this morning that's why I was in a rush getting home so that I can get my hands on my laptop and start using Cash Gopher once and for all.. BUT.. unfortunately, it won't install. It won't even send my query. I hope they'll fix whatever bug it is soon. :) Keeping my fingers crossed.
Best of luck

Hello Meeming,
Haha. you had to hurry home just to be disappointment? don't be. i think it needs to do it in a desktop and a bigger memory requirement. am sure mylot people will make new promotions and schemes in the future. frankly, am not comfortable with it.

That’s a shame LetranKnught! I don’t know what to tell you! The only options you have are to either install Windows OS or wait until Cash Gopher becomes compatible with Linux! I hope it will eventually sort itself out for you!

Hello Paula,
No, it's not. am alright by it. I won't sacrifice linux just for some software that only spies on you. and i don't even care if it pays. am actually good with just posting. besides, i don't want my privacy to be invaded. the only option for me, is not to download it in my pc, that's good enough.

Hi, Knight.:)
I had a hard time downloading the system, too. It took a couple of hours before it was finally completed. Right now, I am not seeing any problem yet with my pc. I hope this will not interrupt with other applications as well.
Too bad to hear you are not going to enjoy this new way to earn money... But, hey, maybe they can figure out something for users like you who have the same dilemma.
Goodluck and good day, Knight.:)

Hello Eurekafemme,
there's a lot of people complaining since yesterday. but i think mylot admin had already decided to try it on windows first. this is actually their own pioneer program similar to gomez peer. but who knows, enither a good result or new problems occur. either way, am happy some how. good day.

Hello Ceekay,
Congratulations! well, what exactly cashgopher do is SPY on your pc, letting them know what you are doing in the internet. thus, risk of them knowing your other passwords and usernames in your other sites using the internet. well, for you as long as you're earning, that's fine right? have a nice day.

I'm sorry to hear that you can't download the software. I can download it, but I decided not to. I know MyLot is trustworthy, but I don't want to take the chance of having my identity stolen from downloading software. I hope you can find a way to download if you are still anxious. Maybe buying a PC will be of benefit in the long run.
I wish you the best. Have a wonderful day!

Hello Mister,
"I don't want to take the chance of having my identity stolen from downloading software"
Is that possible? well, that's one risk am not willing to make. this is just one computer and I've been using this for almost four years, i don't want this to crash just because of a Pilot Software. am sure there's going to be a lot of fix on this.
