I know everybody is free to join and i also dont expect to all the people willing to join, but come on man 0 replies when we can see a lot of merit beggers everywhere or posting nonsense in every place really dissapointing me.

I guess I don't check that subsection of the forum very often but you have my permission to PM me if you have an upcoming contest, like before. If I know anything about it, I'd participate. Thanks.

Hi man! Yes in the next one you are gonna be invited as well and you are gonna see it in the Game and Round section like the other ones i do. This one i put in the beginers section to target that people and try to make them learn some new tings like sign a message and for make it more spicy i made a contest like the normal ones i usually made.

But seems like nobody was interested on it. So i come back to the regular ones no more educational pointed ones, and go full sports based.

I think the thread is going toward a wall text and losing the point i wanna make so im gonna lock the thread.

Maybe change the title of the thread.

Doubt he's going to do that when we live in a world of misleading thumbnails for videos, overhyped headlines, and pretty much everyone doing anything they can do to get attention on the internet. But he absolutely should change the title, because OP's petty issue has nothing to do with bad behavior or newbies and everything to do with his own attitude.

I also think this thread is less to complain than it is to promote something. Ever notice that many things on this forum aren't quite what they seem to be?

I dont know how exactly start this but the other day i organize a new contest in the will of an educational purpose and also gift some money to new users or beginners in the forum.

The rules were pretty simple and you can also win a "ticket" to another competitoon organized for me in the future. This are for example contest ruling by me for 10 mbtc and this other

This was the contest wich i decided to lock the thread after a few days of NOBODY replie on the thread which is was FREE TO JOIN plus with the BTC in this value was a good ammount of money.

I know everybody is free to join and i also dont expect to all the people willing to join, but come on man 0 replies when we can see a lot of merit beggers everywhere or posting nonsense in every place really dissapointing me.

In the other contest i made i always try to be more strict in who can participated to avoid multiaccounts or people who only wants to win and dont brought anything to the forum but this time i was trying to get more people into exclusive for newbies or beginners.

In the last words i have right now i want to say also, im gonna launch other contest in the future for sure like the previous one for regular users (sr members+) and i think is gonna be focus on NBA or Champions League so stary tuned!

Thanks mate for being willing to help newbies like us. firstly, navigating the platform and reading loads of threads might make one forget.
Secondly, it has been difficult to apply in contests like this, most merit giveaway forums require a bit of experience to apply which can be difficult for newbies

Sorry op for the disappointments and this shouldn't discourage you from organizing a contest for beginners in the nearest future, I made a thread requesting for a contest for newbies alone in my local board and I was excited when I saw yours but I didn't understand the "sign a message" part in the contest, it was a bit complicated for me to comprehend hence the reason why I didn't participate by replying.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.63447965 I understood your previous contest perfectly and it would have been easier for newbies like me if this one was like the previous one.

I on this agree with the majority that there is nothing "bad" about his behavior and the OP himself claims that perhaps it is not the best word due to the fact that he is not a native English speaker. And the other thing I also agree on is that if the contest has been unsuccessful the OP should reflect on what he has done wrong and not blame the others, more so when most of the responses in this thread are along those lines.

Licking my boob since 1970

Quote from: LoyceV on March 13, 2024, 04:42:29 AM

I expect the majority of Bitcoin users not to care about the NBA.

I looked into this absolute arrogant statement from LoyceV! Wink

Bitcoin is gambling. Basketball is gambling. You think they would have a common base.
There are 220M bitcoin users worldwide, 20M in North America. There are 400M NBA fans, mostly in North America.
I then looked for a VENN diagram that could visually describe the ratio. Realizing I was spending to much time on this, I decided to just do a quick estimation.

LoyceV's expectation is correct! yay! Now if this was about Soccer, with 3,500M fans world wide, it might be different.

First of all thanks to all the feedback guy, asides of im in agree or disagree with your opinions.

One thing i have to clarify is maybe you feel the words to harsh when for me is not to harsh not being a native speaker of english. I mean for the word BAD.

Second thing i dont really know why some people come and tell me where i have to post the contest like i never posted in the correct section when my two previous contest were made in the correct one.

Isn't you already know the reason?

They're choose merit over "uncertain money" so if you give the rewards like "1st = 50 merits, 2nd = 25 merits and so on" I'm 100% sure there will be a lot newbies participate in your event, they will create multiple accounts or reviving their old newbie accounts.

Don't get me wrong, I didn't suggest you to add merit as the reward, I'm just saying the reality.

Seems like you found my point, and for that what are you pointing were my words, for THAT behavior.

Anyways i hope to see all of your joining my next contest in the Game and Round section Grin

Dont get mad about it, maybe i sound emotional because im not an english native speaker, but it was not the case.

I also was on the way to ask why the title of this Topic is " Bad behavior made by Newbies or Beginners " as this is not true as SamReomo has written.

Bad behaviour made by Newbies or Beginners for not replying for a context organised for them.

Quote from: Lafu on March 12, 2024, 11:20:48 AM

First i thought that there are a lot of newbies that spam somewhere or in your topics.

Alot of newbies refused to spam his thread or topic, it looks like a bad behaviour

Quote from: Lafu on March 12, 2024, 11:20:48 AM

Maybe change the title of the thread.

Or move the topic where it belongs.

Good luck with your next contest and that it goes better next time.

If he wants many newbie participants, he should organise a contest for newbies to narrate their experience in the forum Grin

**In BTC since 2013**

Sometimes not all ideas or projects are successful. Even in a community like Bitcointalk.

So don't worry too much about it. See what you can improve and do differently to attract more attention. And remember, just because you're well known doesn't mean you'll be more successful. It all depends on several factors.

I'd say the "Newbies or Beginners" did good ignorning a topic that breaks forum rules. Forum-based games belong in Games and rounds, unless you get Admin's approval for another board.

Quote from: Volgastallion on March 12, 2024, 11:03:34 AM

This was the contest

The title ("👑👑👑 🚀💰CHALLENGE/CONTEST FOR BEGINNERS BTC PRIZE SIGN MESSAGE 🎉🎉🎉🚀💰") looks like a spam thread. I see a picture of guys and the topic continues about the NBA. I expect the majority of Bitcoin users not to care about the NBA. The title and all your posts in the topic ARE SCREAMING! That's against basic netiquette.

But this is the worst part:

- Open until 31 march for submissions.

maybe you should have left the thread open until the deadline just like what SatoPrincess mentioned, sometimes contest threads can have a slow start but when people start posting on the thread to join it will attract more members who are qualified to join the contest and before you know it you have enough people who have joined your contest.

I noticed that the topic only had 82 views, which means not a lot of people found the topic. Beginners & Help is a busy board, what you should have done is to bump the topic occasionally to keep it at the top. I think you locked the topic early. The contest is supposed to be open until the end of March, right? It is possible that interested persons might be waiting to post their prediction/signed message at the last minute.

When I read words about bad behaviour, I thought something about cheating, not that Newbies just ignored contest. It's strange because in current value 1 mbtc is great money and usually people here takes every opportunity to take much less money. Maybe we just don't have Newbies capable to sign a message?

Although, I am a little excited for your next contests, I suggest you to open these threads in service section, there you will get a lot of interaction, and if you still don't get any then you can make a small thread in this section and can ask newbies to go there and join. It totally depends on the rules of the forum if they allow you to do this.

Contests doesn't belongs to Service board. Games & rounds is apropriate place for it. But since this contest is targeted at newbies for educational purposes, OP made it in Beginners board.

Payment Gateway Allows Recurring Payments

To be honest I did now see that thread until you made this thread. I mostly avoid opening threads that have emojis in them, I thought of them as some scheme that a newbie might want to sell, sorry to say but I judge threads on the basis of emojis which is kinda absurd but I am also shocked to see that there is no reply on it. You are giving a good amount of money though, and signing a message is not a big task, I don't know why would anyone not have joined it.

you should also know that mbtc has no value and they want something that they could hold unto.

This is a wrong idea Aanuoluwatofunmi who said mBTC has no value? In the contest Op hosted, he was actually offering 1mbtc as the first price for the contest of which as of the time I am writing this is equivalent to $70.
No matter how small or large any amount of Bitcoin is, it can still be expressed in mBTC. The only significance is that it is more efficient in smaller units of Bitcoin. mBTC simply means a Bitcoin into a thousand units . So instead of using decimals to express 0.0008 Bitcoins you can simply say 0.8mBTC.

I'm not sure this is what he meant. I am sure he was trying to say they probably did not participate in the contest because they felt the reward was too small. As it is common to find contest in the forum with prices a little fancier that that sometimes.
And for the record, large amounts of Bitcoins are expressed as regular Bitcoins not in mBTC because it will be irrational to say 1000mBTC when you can just say 1BTC. Therefore you can definitely conclude that mBTC is used in cases of just a few 100 dollars just to avoid the use off too much decimals.

To be honest with you, when you're making a contest and its viable one, people will rush to applying to it, why you may experience dryness on such thread might be because of the way people see it as unattractive to them and they are not being convinced on the whole thing you're giving them as reward, no one want to renders a wasted efforts and you should also know that mbtc has no value and they want something that they could hold unto, you're also spamming the thread as well, if none replies doesn't mean you should be posting continues, you can only bump the thread and that's all.
