Topic: Are Legendary Member Earning Too Much ? (Read 1063 times)

Earn your rank man, opportunities are really given to the high rank especially the Legendary members because they are loyal to the forum.

Your concern can be referred to signature campaign, they have better stakes since they have better display of signature and honestly even if we have the
same size of signature to the lower rank, if I am the manager who runs the campaign, I would still the higher rank a bigger stake based on what i'm mentioned above.

Your argument is flawed on so many levels. Legendary members are putting a lot more on the line than lower ranking members, when they are signing up for signature and bounty campaigns. I have spend several years building up a good posting reputation and also ranking up within the forum.

Most higher ranking members are also recognised by companies as "experienced" and "good quality" posters. You will not rank up, if your post are of inferior quality. So companies are looking for posters and posts that would draw the most attention and views to increase their advertising exposure and higher ranking members have already proven that they can provide that.

The higher ranking members posts are also constantly under scrutiny from lower ranking members and mods and this adds more pressure to contentiously providing high quality posts on a daily basis.  

Very good advice the first thing we do on this forum is to learn the rules and make contributory high quality Post's in that way your post counts are highly of great quality that is what Bounty's manager are looking for. In most campaign the Jr member that have quality post history are chosen over a member with low post quality.

I went for hiatus and I find it funny that boot-licking for merits and concerns about the stakes of signature campaigns are still the main topic of this forum.


Quite agree to this idea.  Legendary members are privilege to have their rank which will give them more stakes to the other members.  However, there are other factor as well such as quality of your posts, contribution to the forum, uniqueness and original content, and the like that will not just give you stakes for your signature campaign but will advance the discussion of this forum.

That is just the reality of the world,  Everyone uses money in the modern world. I'm guessing if there were no signature campaigns on this forum traffic would drop over 90%.  I don't see an issue with it as long as people contribute at the same time.

It actually depends upon two types of mindsets -
1st is yours where you're watching the value of BTC as well as earnings in fiat that come in a Legendary member's pockets.
2nd is ours. Where most of these Legendaries are trying to accumulate BTC, others work for BTC fully leaving their day-to-day 9-to-5 jobs as they know they can earn much better here and spend higher. It also depends upon the quality of a Legendary member whether he has the ability to beat others' quality and remain in the campaign by meeting its standards or not, some post a lot and reach the maximum (or even more when there is no maximum like Stake campaign) where some post least due to having the freedom to post any amount of posts with no burden of minimum posts (like the campaign I'm a part of - Chipmixer).

I think Legendary are earn much because they have a good rank and also good in here in community best on my observation every bounty is always legendary rank are the best earn for sig camp and if you have a good rank you have a lot of chances to get more job like bounty manager.

Supposed to be but not all the legendary members didn't get the opportunity to get a slot on most paying signature campaigns.Now a days the quality of their posts decides how much they are earning due to the merit requirements on most of the btc paying signature campaigns.

i don't know how you could say  "earning too much" - i mean, why are you thinking in scarcity? there is a lot of money to be made if you are aware of what to do. just get down and put in some work. once you reach those levels, i'm sure you won't complain about "earning too much"...

Exactly, BTC0.04 could be big enough in some countries but in some it's not.
So it really depends on your status in life and where you live and having a Legendary account does not easily bring you easy money, some of us
are focus in investing and trading, we just consider bounty and signature campaign a way to make ourselves active while earning a little amount of coins.

One doesnt exclude the other. Beign Legendary is awesome but doesnt mean anything in terms of earning.
As someone said, earning maximum 0.04 per week is not dream come true to people with big knowledge about Bitcoin. Its big amount in developing countries tho. All depends, some are here for fun not to earn money as common mistake from many newbies are made.

I am a newbie to the forum but it’s hard work, dedication, posting quality content or asking the right questions. I think it is all about how you portray yourself not only on the forum, but life in general. I decided that I wanted to know more about cryptocurrency and take the leap down the rabbit hole and educate myself on anything and everything I can about it. But what everyone needs to know and understand is that it is not going to happen overnight and that things take time and dedication to achieve. If you think that you are going to get rich overnight you are sadly mistaken. Maybe one day, I myself can become legendary, but until then its reading and posting quality content to gain the necessary knowledge and trust I need to be able to give something of value back. Moral of the story is, Legendary members took the time and energy and probably lots of effort to get to where they are at today. And while some may think that they get paid too much, I look at it as they worked hard on this forum and in general to accomplish their goals.

This is about bounty, right?
IMO, Legendary gets a better share because of their signature exposure, it's wider and bigger compared to lower rank, but it cannot be denied
that there are Legendary Members who post shit in the forum and they did not really give contribution to the thread they are commenting.

If a low rank and a Legendary member both make constructive post then clearly a Legendary will get a better reward based on stakes.

Even if you are a newbie now but if you will continue to give contribution to the forum, you will earn merits and you will grow and in the future
you will reach the highest level of rank which is the Legendary.

Just stay here, learn, improve and contribute.

Do bounties really pay that much? I've always thought they pay dust to their members for promoting their products. Maybe some of those dusts make some value if the project gets a bit successful.
Anyways, your rank won't get you in a campaign, but your post history would (if the manager is a good one) and a legendary would earn nothing if he has a terrible post history and a smaller rank member would at least earn something if he is a good poster. So it is true that buying a higher rank account won't do a lot of good for a bad poster.
Besides that, the people who say that it was easy to become a Legendary member are not totally accurate. Though it is true that now it requires Merits to gain ranks, but the time it takes to become a Legendary hasn't changed and it was the same before as it is now. The people who've become Legendary members have spent their time to gain that rank. Now it depends on them if what they've gained in that period other than their account rank. If they gained no knowledge at all, it is a shame, and the rank they've gained wouldn't be useful for them since campaigns won't accept them with a horrible post history. But, if they've gained knowledge over time and have been constructive posters from the past, then it can useful for them to be a Legendary.

That may not be justified from the perspective of a sponsor. I found that a text link in a useful article can be more productive than a banner advert that may be blocked or ignored.

They are paid more because they can put more content (symbols) in their signatures. That is just the way it is.
Imagine that the ad on top belongs to a Legendary member and the small one at the bottom right belongs to a Jr. Member. It is obvious which one creates more visibility and therefore should be paid more.

I wonder how many members have two legendary accounts. I love a challenge, and I'm tempted to see if I can earn enough merit to promote one of my alts. I haven't got one that is over member rank though, so it would really be a bit of a challenge. At the moment, most merits seem to flow to members providing statistical reporting about the forum, the merit system, and reputation and trust. I don't have the knowledge, or the inclination to try this. I'd be more interested in working to improve Bitcoin and crypto adoption amongst the unbanked and those in politically oppressed countries. Are there any members  who are earning useful amounts by posting such topics? It is difficult to understand why signature sponsors would want to advertise in Bitcoin Talk statistical threads, surely the readers will have already formed their opinions of the programmes, and many of them will have signatures blocked anyway.

I dont see why could this be a problem. There have "Legendary" rank for a reason. They earn it one way or another. Before merit system this was much easier to achieve in look of spent time here, around 2-3 years give or take. How with merit you need much more. First good content for any reply on any topic (it dont need to huge but need to on the topic with good sets of words). Next need to know the topic you are posting. And maybe the create unique topic that will be good for you and for all users where can be earned merits.

Legendary member are not earning as much as they could by my opinion, but think that with high rank comes the high responsibility to write better and to be better. Without this no one will become some day Legendary.

It's not "MAYBE", they do have the highest stakes when we discuss signature campaigns. It is also the reason of the other signature campaign participants to become greedy and use alt accounts to earn more because of having less stakes and low rank. It's not being active it's about your own skills or having good ability.

Hey Legendary members get paid due to their rank, but not all are accepted into signature campaigns just cause they are legendary members. The signature campaign managers chooses quality posting over your rank, so if you’re posting quality then you have good chance of being selected. Also it’s pertinent to note that not all the legendary members are knowledgeable, so their rank doesn’t really help them.
