how do I know if I reached minimum before the time was up?

You will only be paid on or before 15 November assuming you already have $10 or more in your account by midnight of 31 October

Wow! Congrats friend! It's amazing to recognize that many of you are earning and can earn 1$ a day or more. As a newbie here, I'm sorry to say if I can't provide you a clear thinking to your query but I wish you can acquire more details from the other members.

congratulation on reaching payout. I have not reached payout and I do think that I should work more to reach it in coming months.

You'll get paid on the 15th of every month. Go to the payment section of here and it'll explain how and when you get paid. so pretty much as long as you have $10 before the 15th of every month then you get paid that month if you don't the money you make for that month will roll over into the next month. So you already have $10 so don't worry about what ever you make between on in the 15th is what you will get.

Thats excellent on the money situation it will be nice when you see it.
