How much is one point on Coinworker nowadays?

I remember there were tasks at 10-20 points per task and that was close to nothing.

Now, I can only see 1 point tasks in the list, did you change the value of the point, because otherwise it's like ... zero payment.

They not only give out less points per task now but the points are worth less as well.

It used to be 200 points ( which one needs to collect before they payout ) used to
equal about 0.4 BTC, now it is more like 200 points = 0.3 BTC.

One CoinWorker point has always been equivalent to one cent in American dollars (USD$0.01).

If the value of 200 points has gone down from 0.4btc to 0.3 btc... well, that's just a symptom of Bitcoin's appreciation. There's no loss to the CoinWorker from that change: he's getting less BTC but it's worth more.

The point value of tasks has varied, in some cases from task providers, but also because there are issues with bursty high-volume and questionable-quality activity that I'm still struggling to handle in the best possible way. One risk-reducing measure I've taken so far has been adjusting payouts downward. If I come up with better options, payouts will rise. The best I can say in the meantime is that whenever the current payouts are unattractive, check back in another week or two... CoinWorker will still be here, with a different and maybe better mix of tasks and payouts.

wow... the project is dead in the water

In fact it continues to grow slowly and steadily... and other than a few temporary systems/hosting glitches, CoinWorker has paid out in accordance with its published terms, like clockwork, since it opened almost 6 months ago. I'd rather have people temporarily disappointed by the advertised payouts, than ever miss a promised payout.
