Topic: ~ How Much Money Would you Need to Make to Stop Using Paid Sig Offers? (Read 479 times)
June 04, 2019, 05:10:39 PM
I had joined a various signature campaign either bounty or signature paying bitcoin daily since I was here in the forum. The reason why I had joined the sig campaign is to hunt bitcoin or altcoins as well, why? I am the kind of person who did not put too much money on investing, that is why I am working on it and posting is an easy task to have a fraction amount of bitcoin weekly. But if they pay dollar maybe I don't want to join the sig campaign rather I advertise my own.

This is the first signature campaign I have ever participated in, hard to say no if the money is this easy, because with or without a signature I'll still be browsing bitcointalk. I probably wouldn't have bothered if it didn't pay well, or if it had a minimum weekly posting limit like most signature campaigns tend to have.

If you had higher income, from other sources, would you quickly "take back your sig" and use it for anything you like? How much (in ~USD or BTC value) would you need to make this summer to Stop Using Paid Sig Offers?
If I understood your question correctly then my reply is as below.Sig campaign is not enough to fulfill your moral needs and it's not like you are an established person in your life by the earnings.
If I can create higher income from other sources (which I'm working on currently) then I will quit sig campaigns because of one reason.
It is because I'll give out my slot to others as an opportunity who are not established yet and need support in the form of sig campaign earnings.
Lets say there are 10 campaigns with 200 slots in total and I'm taking one slot as an established person then, in my opinion, I'm doing injustice with others who are not established.

There are no certain price. But if someone will offer me 1 million USD (in BTC offcourse), I would stop wearing paid signatures without any doubts 
.
I came to Bitcointalk not to make money. I came here to educate myself and discuss about crypto. As you see, now I don't have paid signature, but I'm still posting here. I just earn enough money for a living from my full time job. But I see nothing wrong to earn some extra money from signature campaign just by doing things thst I like to do.

By saying sources, whether its online or offline work.
I might say that it doesn't matter how many $$$ or my local currency I made from my other sources, I just like getting paid with BTC than any other fiat.
Like mjglqw said, who doesn't want to earn bitcoin from simple posting when there's a chance?

(I am curious if many people ever even think about this) Here is a question about one of the most popular types of offers at the forum:
Paid Sig Offers are obviously very popular here at BCT. If you had higher income, from other sources, would you quickly "take back your sig" and use it for anything you like? How much (in ~USD or BTC value) would you need to make this summer to Stop Using Paid Sig Offers?

I need $700 to a thousand dollars a month for me to stop using a paid signature, but only on ICO campaigns, I'm more comfortable with my signature campaign and I want to stock as many Bitcoin for my future, so I've chosen Bitvest a small amount of Bitcoin today could be worth thousands of dollars in the future.

Hmm, what a question. The problem is that a lot of people connects every task to money. Personally I wouldn't accept any money. I don't like my profile without wearing signature, this signature of Bitsler had amazing gif and bbcodes which makes my profile look attractive. I promote Bitsler and Bitsler promotes me too, wearing of their sig makes my post more likely under attention and opposite, my posta under attention possibly attracts new customers for them. This is like a symbiotic relationship.

I need about 15 thousand dollars to buy a house!
It so happened that I lost my parents at an early age (6 years) and I was sent to a school for orphans! While I was in school, the state had to monitor my old house, which they did not do, and for some reason, it burned down and was plundered! To obtain the same housing, the state sent me to different instances in a circle! But I didn’t even have a small dorm room! All the time I have to rent an apartment, and it is very expensive! 15 thousand was enough for me to buy an apartment in my city!

I just don't use paid sigs.... plain simple, imo its just not contributing for anything ....
Maybe you are very rich in real life that's why you don't need to earn it here as long as you enjoyed posting comments.For me, as long as I need the precious bitcoin I still hunt bitcoin like what miners did they keep digging to hunt bitcoin and also I keep wearing paid bitcoin sig to have even a single fraction of bitcoin will be fine.

After reading some post above, I tend to agree (or maybe belong to the side) that regardless of how many USD/BTC I made from my main job, I'll still continue participating in sig campaign unless I can't participate in this forum anymore. Having more than one source of income is always good, and so far, my life has been easier with the sig campaign that I've participated in. I might not make a fortune out of it (unless 1 BTC = $1 million) but it's worth my time.
Btw, I predict there'll be a few sig campaigns running on this forum in the future, mainly gambling site or exchange. Other than that, I don't think we'll see any long-term campaign.

if i am already posting on the forum i don't see why not make some precious bitcoin out of it and it is not about how much money one has, it is about monetizing something you are already doing. in my opinion it is like putting up a banner ad on your website that is getting visits to monetize that traffic.

Anyone who can elucidate my signature's connection to this theorem gets a couple of merits.
This is Bayes Theorem. It's the idea of probability based on prior knowledge.
Quote
In probability theory and statistics, Bayes' theorem (alternatively Bayes' law or Bayes' rule) describes the probability of an event, based on prior knowledge of conditions that might be related to the event. For example, if cancer is related to age, then, using Bayes' theorem, a person's age can be used to more accurately assess the probability that they have cancer, compared to the assessment of the probability of cancer made without knowledge of the person's age.
One of the many applications of Bayes' theorem is Bayesian inference, a particular approach to statistical inference. When applied, the probabilities involved in Bayes' theorem may have different probability interpretations. With the Bayesian probability interpretation the theorem expresses how a degree of belief, expressed as a probability, should rationally change to account for availability of related evidence. Bayesian inference is fundamental to Bayesian statistics.

I didn't connected it with your sig straight away. I knew it was Carl Sagan's and you gave the hint. Then I googled your sig and Bayes and Sagan and found many interesting discussions.

To summarize, an ‘extraordinary claim’ is defined as ‘a claim with a very low intrinsic probability.’ Another way of saying this is that the prior probability of the claim being true based on our background knowledge is very low (but presumably not zero). So the evidence for this claim must be strong enough to bring the posterior probability of the claim up to .5 or better. This is indeed the strategy adopted by people like Richard Swinburne and Lydia and Timothy McGrew in their Bayesian arguments for the Resurrection of Jesus. They argue that even if the initial probability is low, this antecedent improbability can be counterbalanced by the specific evidence in this claim.

In short: extraordinary claim (very low probability) requires extraordinary evidence (highly improbable evidence). Bayes is. The mathematically representation of that.

coinmixer.se and bitmixer.io both closed their doors similarly in the past couple years. bitcloak and chipmixer have both indicated that things are "business as usual" for them. i'm sure others will spring up to take the place of bestmixer and bitblender as well---it's a profitable business!
This is the very first time law enforcement have flexed their willy regarding mixers. That makes setting up a mixer a dodgier prospect than it was in the past. I expect many people who were considering it will now not consider it. A precedent has been set.
sort of, but as i've said before, i don't think most mixer operators were ever dumb enough to operate from europe in the first place. the netherlands and luxembourg ffs?!! bestmixer may as well have called europol on the phone and given them the physical server addresses.
remember, it was the dutch police who hijacked hansa market and operated it as a honeypot. i wouldn't be surprised if bestmixer was a honeypot to begin with. we should probably assume some subset of centralized mixers are.
if not, i'm sure the authorities would have gladly announced arrests if they could have, which suggests the risks are probably worth it. there's an abundance of friendlier jurisdictions where mixers can operate anonymously. most of the island banking havens are fine choices IMO.

there's nothing like being paid directly in bitcoin. no matter how much money is in my bank accounts, i would probably rationalize other ways to spend or invest it. so getting paid in bitcoin is a good way to always be padding my holdings a bit, which i know is the best plan for the future. i'm definitely a big bitcoin bull, always trying to accumulate. 
the authorities only shut down one mixer, who was dumb enough to operate from europe. one other mixer voluntarily shut down, which is nothing out of the ordinary. coinmixer.se and bitmixer.io both closed their doors similarly in the past couple years. bitcloak and chipmixer have both indicated that things are "business as usual" for them. i'm sure others will spring up to take the place of bestmixer and bitblender as well---it's a profitable business!
Yes, the Bitcoin mixers having major trouble is a big change for the sig business. I didn't follow all the details, but I know the authorities came down heavy recently.

I have nothing crypto related to promote other than my own incredibleness. Ergo I have no use for a signature space. You have an avatar and wee strapline to personalise too.
Since I dig hanging out here anyway I may as well utilise that perk.
If my current campaign ends I probably wouldn't enter another one. Going forward sigs will likely only be gambling and maybe ICO esque type things may make a comeback. I don't agree with either of them. If something that didn't make excessive posting demands that promoted something I could get behind did come up I'd consider it again. No idea what it could be promoting though....

I've never had one, no particular moral high ground.
I've used the space from time to time as a sort of portable Scam Accusation when I wanted to achieve maximum exposure of particular schemes, but I've stuck with the (slightly pretentious-Moi?) current "Sagan Standard" for a while now.
I don't like advertising full stop so, being a filthy rich Westerner with the luxury of choice, I'll forgo the pleasure (and profit) of promoting some crappy gambling site or thieving ICO quite happily.

Unless I don't need money ever again, I will always be looking for complementary incomes. So I will probably always be wearing a signature if I keep posting in this forum.

Nah. I'm definitely incentivised to post because of campaigns at times. It's disingenuous to claim otherwise. It depends though. Sometimes I feel super engaged here. Other times less so. If interesting things were kicking off all over the place I'd be posting about the stuff that interested me no matter what.

Asking what price tag anyone would want is analogous to selling one's account. Let's not kid ourselves, if that is achieved and people are paid off, I bet posting habit will drop or you are likely not going to have many posting here any more. I know some people will be pretentious and deny this obvious fact.
