My god, you don't stop once you start do you?

First off, the rule was at least 100 words per post, which was kinda nonsensical considering their pay-rate and if you have a look at any "good" campaign. Glad they removed it

My bad, thought that it was 100 characters. There should always be some kind of requirement for signature length (and quality) in my opinion.

Another one of those posts where people feel entitled to get a "job-level" payrate in BTC for posting with a sig. Its an incentive people, it started with a scammer named Tradefortress and for some reason every other BTC service continues to invest in it thinking it'll improve their visibility.

It's not about that. Maybe i phrased it differently. My point was that such low quality campaigns have negative effect on this forum with a high probability.
But like pointed out before, that campaign (that also you seem to be in) attracts alot of posters who do not contribute (like yourself).

Payments for this campaign are done manually as opposed to automatic payments in an exchange. I don't even see why this is seen as a bad thing that they paid out twice the amount they were supposed to.

Code is written by hand, so they might possibly make the same mistake with it. Therefore, it does not matter that much whether it is manual or automatic.
I suggest you read that part again with a thought.

This sums up the situation, what they're doing is not scamming, many sigs have escrowed themselves and it was up to the users to trust that they'd be paid(and most did) and its not all spammers who join the low-paying camps. For example I'm joining just so I can have a decent post history so that I can be accepted in any future campaigns, and the low rate is just something on top.

So you are posting to get paid? HA, i knew it. Your previous posts do look very spammy Tongue

Edit: And the cherry on the cake would be the fact that you came back to the forums after many months, suddenly start writing longer posts (which all seem to be very repeative and related to nexybit). You came back here only because of your own greed, and yes im pointing at your first post which was to apply for this sig campaign.

Well accusing is a different thing, but to me atleast this whole thing smells miles away. They also took the rule of 100 characters per post away, so you could basically wear the signature, and write a bot which spams the whole forum with nonsense bullshit.

The rates are the lowest which i have seen, basically could be considered as (slave work).

TheAlso they failed and paid out users two payments for one week, so i doubt that such exchange can even be trusted, because they cannot even handle a simple bitcoin transaction. Now imagine if that happened with customer funds. "OOPS! We just paid everyone's withdrawal 2x times", they would definetly not make up to that as they don't even have money for decent budget.

As long as Nexybit pays, I don't think that you can accuse them of being "scammers". But it certainly makes the unprofessional considering they are essentially explicitly employing spammers as their promotional medium which will not end well for themselves.

Somehow, this reminds me of the horrors of secondstrade when it was still around. Similar structure, loose rules, etc.

I was not around those times (gladly enough), but we should try to prevent bad things from happening that have happened in the past.

If people accept these horrible rates, then so be it. But the problem is that only spammers will apply to this campaign because a) they have no competent campaign manager, b) the rates are low so they don't have any competition and c) they are able to get paid to do the bounty stuff that they are already doing.

Bump! The campaign is still going on, sadly without not gaining any attention at all.

I made this post and he responded with this.

I checked out this section and it looks like the people who are running signature campaigns are legendary or have some of the green trust.

You have neither? Shouldn't you be using a middleman so no one gets scammed?


If you feel uncomfortable about participating now, you can wait a few cycles. We intend to carry on this campaign for a while.  Smiley
I think he's going to scam for the first 2 weeks and then just run off with free advertising. With this post he is basically avoiding to use middleman and having 0.5 BTC doesn't necessarily mean you will pay out the 0.5 BTC. I hope I am wrong here...

Also getting paid 40 cents a post seems hella nice.



That is indeed very concering, especially when they kind of dodged the question, instead of answering to it like a reputable service provider.
They answer questions about escrow with "we want to earn trust" type of answers, and the extra bonus rates for using addresses on platform do make my belief about their shady intetions even stronger. I find it weird that there has not been yet alot of activity on this thread, although it has been read for many times during this time.

Just have a look at this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/nexybit-signature-campaign-srhero-signature-revised-413410-rates-revised-3259881
Look at those rates, as well as accepted participants. I think that they should be told about, how much we like spammers on this forum.
Check the post history of many accepted Participicants! Are we sure that we want this kind of campaigns to be run on a forum, which already is trying to fight spammers as well as plagiarism?



Made this thread to notify DT members about this issue, which we do have currently. Around 2$ for 35 posts only encourages spam, especially by accepting already spamming users and rewarding them to spam.

However i will leave you without my outrage, i will just leave some example of the post quality of the users that they are accepting. Perfect role model of a quality poster: https://archive.fo/RHmkS


Am i way too agressive about this, or you do you dislike this kind of behavior on bitcointalk as well?

Edit: Maybe spamming is a way too harsh word, so let's just say posts with zero contribution like posting on Bounty threads. Many people have asked them to escrow as well, but they are not willing. I just have a bad feeling about building trust as a newbie.

Edit 2: Archived version of google forms, as proof that they have accepted such kind of users there. I will close this thread if they succesfully escrow their funds, as well as provide a signature campaign that does not encourage posting trash on this forum, or if some smart user here talks me over to doing it Wink
