Getting Started as a Worker
ASG Data Refinery pays you in BSV micropayments for labeling data. This guide walks you through registration to your first payout.
What You'll Need
- A modern web browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari) or an Android device
- A valid email address
- An internet connection
- A BSV-compatible wallet for receiving payments (we recommend HandCash)
Step 1: Access the Worker App
You can use the worker app in two ways:
| Platform | How to Access |
|---|---|
| Web | Visit worker.asgrefinery.io |
| Android | Download asg-worker-v1.0.0.apk (GitHub Releases; same app as worker.asgrefinery.io) |
Step 2: Create Your Account
- Open the worker app
- Switch to the Create Account tab
- Enter your email address and choose a password (minimum 8 characters)
- Click Create Account
Your account is created with a unique worker ID. This ID is tied to your earnings, trust score, and task history.
Step 3: Complete Onboarding
After registration, you'll be asked to set up your profile:
| Field | Required | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Display Name | Yes | How you appear in the system (2–50 characters) |
| Country | Yes | Helps match you with region-appropriate tasks |
| Primary Language | Yes | Tasks may require specific language skills |
| Additional Languages | Optional | Increases the pool of tasks you're eligible for |
| Phone | Optional | For account recovery (encrypted at rest) |
Choose your languages carefully — your language proficiency affects which tasks you're offered. Only select languages you're genuinely comfortable working in.
Step 4: Find Your First Task
- From the Dashboard, tap Get Next Task
- The system assigns you a task based on your language and availability
- Read the task instructions carefully before labeling
- Submit your label
That's it — you're now a worker on ASG Data Refinery.
Step 5: Set Up Your Wallet
To receive BSV micropayments, you'll need a BSV wallet. We recommend HandCash for its ease of use.
Once your wallet is set up, your earnings will be settled automatically after consensus is reached on your labeled tasks.
