its surprising that most people here still choose btc just by basing on the poll . i thought everyone is complaining about the volatility of btc ? i even saw some complaints that people protest to be paid in a usd rate rather than btc during the continous decline happened  . for me i would also prefer to be payed by a usd rates but as long as the manager or the campaign owner wont cheap us . the volatility thing of btc makes me only stress mostly when it declines just before the time of payments .

I wouldn't mind it being USD pegged right now - this volatility.. Overall still prefer BTC amounts because: stack sats Huh it's more 'consistent' in a way that way too.

I've always been on a signature campaign that paid in a fixed bitcoin amount, and I hope one day this will be the norm, but I do recognise that not everyone has a business than can run only on BTC when most of the economy around Bitcoin is still settled in fiat.

But I will say it was far easier to find gigs (I'm a freelancer) in the past with fixed btc price, and I even charged it in a fixed btc price, but since mid-2017 almost every gig is now priced in $, and I also submit my invoices in $.

Until I stop paying bills and rent etc in fiat, it also only makes sense to charge clients in $. It's the only way I can properly manage finances and tax.

Interesting thread. Most of the posters don't seem to understand what you actually meant lol

I like to get paid in a fixed USD value (like my current campaign does). This helps regardless of how the prices of bitcoins swing around. You wouldn't end up in $10 if you were supposed to get $100 per week. It could work the opposite way as well but too much risk when you're putting the work. I'm not that hungry for signature money so I'm better off getting a fixed USD-BTC converted value. This works in campaign's favor as well.

I prefer my payment in BTC because to me it feels like a double reward (getting the BTC for the campaign and feeling like I am trading it because it might rise anytime),
And we definitely hitting two birds in one stone. We all know that bitcoin fluctuate constantly and with that said payment in bitcoin help us to earn more unlike in USD payment as the value gets stagnant.

No, it doesnt get stagnant - the only difference here if you do accept on USD terms then youre safe from fluctuations, you might receive more or less in btc
and this is the advantage i do see just like what other members do tell on here.

For btc fix you can earn more in terms of usd value when the price tends to rise but also lose money or in value when it dips.

But we have to look at the companies side and respect the decisions of companies and their sign campaign managers.
And it's all up to us whether we participate ot not. I'm sure if there's only limited sig campaigns now ( just like before ) we really don't mind paying on usd ( bitcoin based price ).  Grin

From what I see, the campaigns that pay in dollars are casinos and gambling sites, while the campaigns that pay in btc are mixer and exchange. I think the explanation is because thy have more customers who make deposits in dollars. so it's easier for these sites to pay in dollars, while the exchange and mixer that has customers who deposit bitcoins makes it easier to pay in bitcoin for sign campaign participants

nah, its just a new thing that mainly occurs on years when market is in bull mode (meaning price is rising every month at least) and it happens for all kinds of businesses. for example if you look at all the campaigns that started this year, they are all reporting their payments in dollar terms.
example of a new mixer campaign starting last month paying in $ value: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/cfnp-smartmixer-signature-campaign-srherolegendary-members-5196983
as i explained in my previous post, it is beneficial for businesses to pay in fixed $ value since bitcoin price is rising in long term.

I can't think of any crypto casino that has any dealings with dollars at all. If they did they certainly wouldn't last very long.

You're right in saying that they're far more likely to keep a USD peg than other services. Perhaps their customers are much more reactive to the USD price than other services or they themselves only think in terms of finishing up with USD so plan accordingly.

I prefer my payment in BTC because to me it feels like a double reward (getting the BTC for the campaign and feeling like I am trading it because it might rise anytime), additionally when bitcoin enters my wallet, it hardly goes out again but when I receive USDT, I would have to exchange it to BTC which would cost me some fees.

Take for example, when I joined the present campaign that I am participating in, Bitcoin was a bit lower but it has risen quite well since then and it is predicted to rise more before the end of this month, if that happens, I would be making more money just for holding, this isn't the case with a stablecoin.

Interestingly, this is a bitcoin forum and it would be supposed that we didn't even talk about dollars, everything should be about bitcoin. But we have to look at the companies side and respect the decisions of companies and their sign campaign managers.

I particularly have no problem receiving in dollar or bitcoin

I think majority of us would prefer BTC but if the rates are attractive like Bitsler and Bustadice, for me I am okay with usd rate.
Like my current campaign now, the rate is also good since at Hero Rank, people will be receiving 45 usd for 15 post only, that means 3 usd per post, not bad.

The best campaign in terms of btc and usd rate combine, I think there is no other than Chipmixer, it's a long time running campaign and there was no problem with the payment ever since.

sig compaign work in internet . for this reason i prefer payements via bitcoin because transaction are fast and quick
payement via usd cannot receive instanly because some bank need 48 hour and some time lot of time for sending money to their users
i think bitcoin have small fees when you sent or received

Winding down.
BTC payment is more exciting, especially when time come that btc will pump.
I usually withdraw my earnings on a regular basis but when given a chance I would receive btc payment not pegged with usd price, I might have to employ the strategy of a trader which I would hold when the market is bearish and would only trade it when I see the price is already good.

In the early days of signature campaigns, most payments are just pure BTC, so I got used to it,

I voted for Bitcoin. Crypto prices are like a roller coaster. One week BTC will surge 20% as you've said, the next will goes down. I'm using earned coins to pay for stuff like VPN, Hosting, Content Creators, etc. It's a more important affiliate earning, signature and others to be more than my expenses, in BTC or USD Smiley

Guys,this is not about getting payments in USD,this is only about getting BTC in fixed value based on USD or just fixed BTC value. Smiley

I wonder what the uptake would be if there was such a campaign. It would be nightmarish to operate but quite an intriguing thing to observe. Most people here are only because of the dollars anyway.

Unless you kept it to one country you'd have a full time job sending via Paypal, WU and bank transfer. At the very least it would remind people why crypto is rather nifty.

Bitcoin = Financial freedom
as far that i remember i never sign up  for signature campaign . if i had a choice i will use USD as my main payment but the bank take a big fee for charge.so  i prefer to choose BTC cause it's just more simple than feeding the bank.

The good thing when you do receive on fixed btc rate is that you will able to accumulate and save up btc either you would decide to wait for price increase or would just simply
exchange or convert it directly to fiat depending to you.

When you do choose up fixed usd rate then amount of btc will always vary from time to time.When its price is high then you would receive less but if its low then you receive more.
If you do like to receive fixed usd value then this one is a better choice.
that is correct , all in all whether it is by bitcoin or usd rates the both option is have its own benefit and risk mmmm....... wait i don't know if it is appropriate to call it as a risk hehe. with usd fixed payment you will have a chance to gain bitcoin feel like automatically.

or another option that riskier than the two usd & btc it is getting paid by token.
i remember IOST token signature campaign here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3170747.780 they pay you $150 perweek speculatively in IOST token while the actual price by the end of the campaign is $200 , so you have some interest automatically unexpectedly.
interesting isn't it?

If you mean a fixed price in BTC or the respective value of X USD but in BTC, then I prefer in BTC. After all, 1 BTC = 1BTC and I like to think that I'm getting paid real BTCs for my "work" and not dollars but through BTC. Confusing? Maybe. But that's how I feel. Smiley

Also, probably not what you're talking about, but if I was getting paid in USD for that, I would just buy BTC right away. Pretty much all I get in this forum and other ventures is used to increase my BTC holdings.
what about this scenario :

pay rates is $50/week @0.005
3 months get paid by USD total $50x12= $600 , @0.005 x 12 = 0.06

assuming during the campaign bitcoin price dropped several times and it makes the amount of bitcoin we received a little bit increased higher.
if you get paid by USD in this scenario you probably get additional bitcoin which if you keep holding it until certain date -i would take an example when bitcoin price dropped to below $4000 at january 2019 to march 2019 and get doubled up at april to this date @$8000 , guess how much additional benefit you have received with my scenario above? of course really significant and that is why maybe i prefer with USD in hopes having extra bitcoins to hold .

How long this 'survey' will last?

I'm pretty sure with 1/2 pages, we'll get repetitive answers already.

My very basic plan was to leave it open until the next big swing (up or down) and see where things went.
Also, added poll.

-Dave
Hello Dave, this is just a friendly suggestion regarding your thread.
I think better you have to set a date when the deadline for the voting poll and then locking the thread.

Yes, I'm also in the campaign that you have mentioned in OP until now. The advantage that we can get in paying USD rate per week if the Bitcoin price goes down the amount of bitcoin that they will pay to participants will increase and then cash out when the price goes up. About last week's payment, I thought it will remain down but unfortunately, the price of bitcoin is at the top price button and something going down when the payment made.

There's nothing we can do. The rules were clearly stated before we dropping our application. We can simply disregard the sig campaign launching if we don't like the rule and regarding the payment. This term of payment will both company owners and participants will take advantage or disadvantage because there is fluctuation of bitcoin.
