14 years is quite big enough, we all know that this forum will exist now and beyond, this forum will teach a lot of people want to learn in Bitcoin and related cryptocurrency as we all know that through this forum we can learn a lot of things we can gathered a lot of information ,
And now on anniversary is coming but still it's working and helping people. And also we can earn a lot of money through Bounties and signature campaign.
Topic: BitcoinTalk 14 years ago (Read 570 times)
Satoshi created the forum for 14 years thanks to Satoshi. Because of his contribution we all here in this forum can enjoy. Bounty and signature campaigns are the spice of this forum due to which everyone flocks here. However, we are happy to work with all of Satoshi's contribution.

Also people feel a sentimental attachment to their bitcointalk account, they are proud of what they have achieved here….the ranks, the posts, merits, badges e.t.c. I think signature campaigns make the forum better, users tend to improve their post quality when they are in a campaign.
This is a law of reciprocity, promoted projects strive to establish their product name well in these forums and even outside the forums, Also people feel a sentimental attachment to their bitcointalk account, they are proud of what they have achieved here….the ranks, the posts, merits, badges e.t.c. I think signature campaigns make the forum better, users tend to improve their post quality when they are in a campaign.
this will also provide an increased search index about the promoted project.
The project will have a good product name, and we will benefit in the form of rewards from everything we discuss in this forum.
A campaign will also make other members interested in visiting and even using the project, so this is a positive law of reciprocity for both parties.
In addition to ratings, posts, achievements, badges etc., it is an advantage for active members that make them more productive.
A signature campaign is a reward for the contribution made.
Looking back in the past when there were not too many signature campaigns like today, it proves that signature campaigns are a way to promote a good project,
even 1 project can last for years.
If the signature campaign stops, there's still a lot that can be done.
There are all sorts of bounties, several art contests and other opportunities.
For 14 years the Forum has continued to grow, and the campaign has also developed well and become a center of information about Bitcoin,
cryptocurrency and various technologies that exist in the crypto ecosystem.

I checked this profile and it has 7 activity and 7 posts but no post is showing on the profile, which means the posts were deleted or moved to another profile. I guess the account 'admin' should belong to either theymos or cobra before they realised there might be more than 1 admin.satoshi account was created one day later. Still it's a good catch. I don't see any thread celebrating Bitcointalk's birthday. Happy 14 years!
We celebrate pizza day and even enter into pizza context but the one that is ours is not celebrated.
Come to think of it — I wonder how long Bitcointalk would've survived if it wasn't for signature campaigns? Activity wouldn't be this big if it wasn't for bounties.
It would have survived as long as today but it will just be as boring as other forums with less traffic and activities.
To be technically correct, satoshi never posted on Bitcointalk. He was a member on the bitcoin forums that were hosted on bitcoin.org and sourceforge. Satoshi disappeared before Bitcointalk was created with this domain. All his/their posting was done on the old forums.
Actually, that's true.Come to think of it — I wonder how long Bitcointalk would've survived if it wasn't for signature campaigns? Activity wouldn't be this big if it wasn't for bounties.
bounties plays a big in the forum's activity ratio; it's not been the same overtime... If you could observe, the level of impression created by the forum has been high off ever since the merit system was created; people have gained so much knowledge in here, though (sometimes, they may be told about the benefits from bounties and that could be Thier motivation) but I can bodly say Bitcointalkforum is a solid 35% influence on the awareness created about Bitcoin... so sig campaigners are basically like paid tech support?
i like that
If that's what you're comfortable calling it.i like that

If there were no signature campaigns or bounties, the forum would still be here but I doubt we would have as much traffic as we do now. The rewards of signature campaigns is a good reason why many users are still active here and care so much about this place. Of course there are other things they make the forum compelling, the information and data here is second to none.

A good catch indeed, am just getting to know about this information as well about the first forum account created named admin, this equally means that Satoshi ia the second account created after this, the first account wasn't active ever since the same month it was created in while Satoshi still lasted the following year before going inactive, we keep learning each time about the forum, thanks EFS for this additional informations.
There was no bitcointalk 14 years ago. Bitcointalk started in June 2011.
Bitcointalk was registered on June 24, 2011.

Actually it's a good point but bitcoin talk is it's new name or you can say a second name of bitcoin talk before bitcointalk it was named as bitcoin forum and as far as I know the layout was also different. But still the title should be bitcoin forum but in another sense many might not understand what bitcoin forum is.Bitcointalk was registered on June 24, 2011.
https://who.is/whois/bitcointalk.org
Therefore for understanding purposes the usage of bitcoin talk is better. I think you took it wrong, because this forum did existed before 2011 but with different name. I hope now you know the reality.
For more information you should read this thread it will help you. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/a-study-about-history-of-bitcointalk-forum-2905330
The current ability to resolve Bitcoin-related issues within a few hours demonstrates that a predominantly paid-driven board fosters a constructive and helpful environment.
so sig campaigners are basically like paid tech support?
i like that
When you pay people to post, obviously they will post with more frequency, but that doesn't mean their forum is useful.
Disagree. Just check out the Dev & Tech board now and before signature campaigns. Currently, being paid to help there is like being a mod in stackexchange, but with less responsibilities and more flexibility.I think for one reason, the culture of donations was lost, maybe it is because of the price, maybe people are no longer grateful, if that culture were not ended, there would be more interesting posts and people willing to help with the problems of others.
There would be less meaningless, unoriginal posts, granted. But, I strongly disagree that there would be more helpful posts. Quite the contrary. The current ability to resolve Bitcoin-related issues within a few hours demonstrates that a predominantly paid-driven board fosters a constructive and helpful environment. Seeing how a forum is successful by having a signature campaign, I wonder why the other forum not follow this kind promotion.
Success isn't a large number of mediocre posts. When you pay people to post, obviously they will post with more frequency, but that doesn't mean their forum is useful.

If only it was possible to copy a forum database and move it to a new dedicated domain name instead of a subdomain on another site.......

Happy Birthday to the account of Satoshi here although he might not reply to my wish but still I am wishing hehe. By the way, I already came to know about this information from Binance exchange yeah from Binance exchange. They have a news notification system in which they combine 4 to 5 news in a bullet format and show a notification.
In that notification they shared this same news with almost the same words, I was shocked at that time because till then (the time of the shared news) no one had shared this information here on BTT and I thought Binance was more enthusiasts about BTC and Satoshi then BTTians.
Well, it's a long time which looks too short if compared with the progress of BTC and how far it has gone in terms of performance even the satoshi him/herself did not assume that BTC would have gone this far in such a short period of time because it was his quote that either in 20 years BTC would be zero or would gain enormous volume. And he mentioned/predicted 20 years while BTC has outperformed his 20 years prediction.

Happy 14 years old Bitcointalk, alright so... will we see 14th anniversary art contest? /jk.
Yes it would have survived, but signature campegn is the propelling force that made it stand firm till date. I think if it were not for campegn there will be less people on this forum because the signature has been so helpful to many to achieve some certain goals. I think it's worth to be celebrated. Satoshi Nakamoto has a dream of solving financial crisis by creating bitcoin and also created this bitcoin community in other for less knowledgeable person's to be awear of bitcoin and the inportants. And the the risk involved. Also to let people understand that bitcoin is not just a get Rich quick scheme. I think his dream is Achieved because what he needed was for bitcoin information to continue spreading even when his no More. Come to think of it — I wonder how long Bitcointalk would've survived if it wasn't for signature campaigns? Activity wouldn't be this big if it wasn't for bounties.
I believe it will survive without signature campaigns, but survive with very less traffic. Seeing how a forum is successful by having a signature campaign, I wonder why the other forum not follow this kind promotion.I respect Satoshi Nakamoto alot. Despite he chose to anonymous. And was for a good reason. Because if he should present himself to the public he wouldn't have been given a second thought to even achieve his dreams. Of producing bitcoin. If atol was given it would still have been controled by government and I will no longer be decentralized but centralized. Respect to a genius Satoshi Nakamoto.
Snip
Only those passionate about Bitcoin discussion and those who are into altcoin bounty campaigns. We have something to thank the administrator even though it is a give-and-take where participants create content and get compensated for creating discussions that ranked the forum on top of some of the keywords pertaining to Bitcoin and other keywords related to Cryptocurrency.
I hope we can celebrate our silver anniversary with all the prime movers and great contributors still here doing the things they are good at doing.
Yeah extremely worth to be celebrated countless of people are solely depending on this forum and yet won't appreciate the cool moment of this forum. Lot of people who involved in this forum that are dedicated to bitcoin discussion are still active doing their discussion without looking at being paid or not but still only them I believe would be regular to post here although activity maybe reduced. 14 years not 14 days or 14 months..
Man, 14 years and we now have something that no one expected. The forum has grown to way higher levels then expected and if I'm not wrong then the forum used to be hosted on another site and basically it was a built in board of that site but now the forum is on its own domain name and people know it by the name of Bitcointalk.org which is a great achievement.
I would say thumbs up to all those people who contributed to the forum in its early days and it's because of those people that we are still using this forum. This forum is only of the most important things in the lives of the users who post here and some of us enjoy spending hours on this forum.
Congratulations on 14th birthday of the forum and I hope that after 6 more years we will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of this amazing forum and surely by then the worth of a single Bitcoin will be over $250k or maybe over $1M a coin.
It's our optimistic thinking that has helped us to be here for more than 14 years and I'm proud to say that I have been a member of this forum since 2016 and it has been a life changer for me.

Let's have some throwback. Let me start with;
Satoshi signed up on BitcoinTalk 14 years ago. A big day in Bitcoin's history!
Wow - I almost missed it, but if only Satoshi could still hear the voice of his community, then I would like to wish him a happy birthday right now. Yes – that was 14 years ago, but it seems like just yesterday. Time flies so fast and we have come a long way in the 14 years since then - even Satoshi should know that the bitcoin he founded has achieved greater achievements than he expected.

satoshi account was created one day later.
That account lived barely five days after its registration and then got abandoned. I suspect it was created by the same person that created the Satoshi account.satoshi account was created one day later.
BTW, it was November 17,
