Topic: participating in the forum in order to be able to access campain in the future (Read 595 times)

On re-examining Op, it seems you take here like a company where your time spent is monitized. Maybe you are being paid per hour. It will be nice if you see here as an online forum where people discuss and have fun without expecting anything in return than to meet new friends. If you understand forum in this perceptive, you will appreciate the lil bucks we earn here.

What do you mean by the posts in the forum are semi-robotic. It is that they are all of lower quality or they are written without emotions?

You may feel/see it that way but certainly is not entirely true, humans are mostly behind the posts here. If you give it time to check it well, you will discover this but you must not be biased about it to be able to know the truth. Because you seem to have concluded what is happening here in your mind which is supposed not to be so. Fine, there will always be bad actors, but there are also seasoned and genuine intentions.

That said, anyone caught in the practice that doesn't attract quality to the forums is being called out and probably banned. This is what we can continue to do, nothing is perfect. Also, we should not pretend that everybody knows how to write quality English or construct very well without missing their tenses and all that.

What is happening on this forum as a few faults is not isolated as well, it is happening everywhere.

Be sure that if someone seems desperate to be in the campaign, it only reduces their chances of being accepted.
If is possible easily recognize merit hunting through the history of posts, forced praise of the manager, and the project for which the campaign is applied for... these are all signs of desperation, and they are certainly not something that will prevail for the manager to accept such a member

Earning merits, ranking up and having a certain number of merits in the last 120 days will make you eligible for most campaigns, but the final decision of selecting members for a campaign is on the manager, and they make that selection based on their criterias. If you are not selected by one manager, you may be selected by another soon enough.
I don't think so, maybe it was in the past, but not any longer, it shouldn't be worth your time right now.

Earning something is better than earning nothing and 100$ might not be enough for op but its a big amount in most of the developing countries. People in my countries are earning 100$ per month and if you ask is it enough. No the minimum amount should be around $150 per person but people have to manage. I like the idea of signatures of this forum hoping to get into one so I could earn as well but till then I am reading and learning.

I did not spend a lot of time here on the forum and made good merits I guess and one more thing I love to add is merit are not enough for you to get accepted in the campaign as some time ago I applied in Elon coin campaign and did not get accepted which means even after getting enough merit or rank you need good luck as without luck manager won't accept you. SO OP after getting enough merit and rank you still have no guarantee that you will be accepted or not. Lets see what this forum has to offer more, I am thinking airdrops are also good side hustle right now. I last made a topic asked about online ways to earn and most of the members really gave valuable ideas some worked and some not for me. But all of them are not as good as I think signature would be if one is earning from it.

I think you are simply trolling at this point, you have said nothing interesting in this topic, and you are just trying to provoke forum members with what you are writing. Goodluck with that, but take note that we have seen many users take this approach, but it didn't take long before they were forgotten.

From my understanding, you were ranked up to legendary before the merit system was introduced. I don't know why (I can probably guess though), but you sound a little petty about people managing to earn some money for being active on the forum while you cannot, judging by your latest post history, and trust me, we're not spending 2 hours trying to come up with what to post like you mentioned earlier. We'll browse the forum, see something worth reading, reply, go back to what we were doing, and repeat.

I've spent quite some time here without being on a campaign; browsing this forum has become an indivisible part of my routine in order to keep up with the latest cryptocurrency news and updates. I don't deny that if it weren't for the campaigns, then I wouldn't spend as much time as I do now, but that doesn't mean that I wouldn't be active.

while the last post was playfully provocative, interacting here is indeed bizarre, cause all the posts are semi-robotic.

You sounded like one from a guy who keep posting one liner from Trading discussion board and asking how to get into signature campaign, then tell people that most content here are bizarre when he's the one creating it.

As far as I know, it's very worthy....!
The understanding:
Merit does not have a detailed alphabetical count, minutes, seconds, days and weeks, even years, as long as someone or you has a posting character that they think is worthy, You will get that (merit) repeatedly in that time, you can earn it over and over again.
$100 can not only be earned in campaigns, you are a design expert or an expert in creating several signature code skills, digital art, logos and more, you will get more than what you get in campaigns, this has been going on for years in the service department.

Now it depends on you, in participating in this forum, want to do something based on your skills or want to spend a few hours in making posts for campaign rules, there are many opportunities that you can do in this forum, so that you become something that is expected.

I bet it's 2 or 3 Indian "call centers" creating most of the content here lol

Thank you for pointing this out. The amount of merits one earn isn't actually a function of how long or how often they have been here. Although, it is somehow related but not totally dependent.
this person earned more than 200 merits within 24hrs, while there are people who have been here for years and are still newbies or jr member. Just a single act of EZ0010 earned him merits and good reputation having just made only 5 posts. As you can see, he is no longer active here and he didn't come for signature campaign. If he did come because of signature campaign, he would have quickly built his activity and join campaign. The best way to go here is to be natural.

Participating in a signatory campaign is an added bonus for every member who is a quality poster and the amount of merits received does not go the same way with the time interval spent each week by week, we have to understand this, why everyone should participate here is because they have the minds for bitcoin and are willing to contribute to the development of it, and when such opportunities like campaigns come in, they benefited not by how far they have spent, but by the quality of what they have delivered to the forum and merits is one of the means to view such.

It's quite hard for me to speak objectively, since I am now earning a good amount, so it's easy for me to say. But before this campaign, I joined only every campaign with not the first purpose to earn.

I think your attitude and contributions to the forum in general is what earns you the merit at first and the recognition.

When I first joined, I saw the most helpful users actually didn't have any campaigns at all at first. Same as me. But later, they were chosen for the best, and if I applied, I generally got in ahead. And I always carry a signature for something I'm a real user of. Unlike many people I see constantly posting and never actually using the product.

And I never jumped ship. I stay always til the end. I think that also counts, personally. Loyalty, not just about the $$$.

Whereas those who started out immediately looking for rewards, esp altcoin ones, you obviously saw their quality was just geared to earning. No helpful contributions to forum, just spam and made-up stories.

Look at the best earners, and see their contributions. That's what you should look to achieve. Then, the possibilities open up

And about benefit for campaigns? For me it is about reminders and the reputation of being there. Coca cola doesn't put out ads to get new customers. They do it to remind people they're there and better than Pepsi. If you stop seeing their ads you'll start wondering if they are starting to go down.

Google ranking and get customers in the same forum I would say. Especially in casino campaigns, there is more than one degenerate gambler who loses in the casino advertising what he wins in the campaign and much more.

If you believe posting in the forum is bizarre, then i am correct to say goodbye and goodluck in finding another platform that has what you are looking for. However, for a lot of people there is nothing bizarre about posting in this forum and there is a lot to learn here, and as for the signature campaigns, if they are still bringing their ads here, then it means they know they can get potential clients from this forum.

things have changed a lot over time. I actually was in a campaign or two several years ago. pretty sure it can be found in my historical data here.

It is quite surprising old members ask newbie questions about the forum you don't roam much on the forum for you to know that other members posted on other sections because they are their area of interest so it's not right that 98% are coming from these guys.

You are right that it's about Ranking on Google and getting traffic from keywords provided by the discussion here, On the internet content is king if a platform can porovide contents advertisers will go here to advertise and this is what Bitcointalk is proving and will continue to provide.

Marketing in general, that's what the main reason. People engage to use the site for obvious reason, since they have a good reputation here.

When an exchange is introduced here that is affiliated to Bestchange, people keep in mind that they might be "good" for that reason. Same reason for an affiliated exchange that has an issue or scammed someone, once reported to bestchange they make move to remove the exchange on their platform after the investigation.

This is the same for other long running campaigns, the more they promote the more their users trusted in them, the more they get users the more their sales. Well this will based on their actions too because some e.g. casino, who have campaigns here but then got an issue, after their unfair actions they got tagged/flag and tainted their reputation.

well, it obviously works for them. I just wondered how lol

Do not judge based on your experience, this is a crypto-oriented forum and there are not many users who are interested in Forex trading. Perhaps one of the reasons is that Bitcoin (and other cryptocurrencies) offer better trading opportunities than Forex and at the same time with less risk.

So roughly speaking about your ANN, where you present some of the Forex platforms. They are the only platforms that accept Bitcoin as a means of payment. And that's their connection with cryptocurrencies.
Also, someone who opens an ANN for his webshop where he sells coffee salts for left-handed people could complain about the lack of people interested in the discussion. But just like in your case, there are a small number of people who need such a product, and there are already other acceptable solutions.

Here is an excellent example of ANN where you have a regular discussion with all aspects. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=577207.500

You came with specific questions, and now you came to the conclusion that posting on this forum is bizarre because you realized that you can't get a place in a sig campaign that easily - and that 2 hours a day is too much time for $100 a week? Maybe it's better that you gave up than pretending that the forum means something to you...

Well, there have already been numerous companies that chose to promote or market their services on the forum. Many of them have their campaigns running for years, spending thousands of dollars weekly. I don't think they are that crazy to continue spending big if there isn't any profit from it.

The last company I was promoting here was Best Change. Their campaign lasted for more than 4 years, paying at least $2,500 each week. I can't speak exactly as to how significant the impact of the campaign is on their business, but there must be considerable contribution. Otherwise, why would they continue wasting more than $10,000 every month for it?

Back in my early days here, I was really spending something like 2 hours daily and most of time I just read stuff here, rather than posting.
Now don't have so much time, just check forum few times a day. Signature campaign is great thing, but it's not lie changing money to change my habbits.

If it wouldn't be effective, probably nobody wouldn't advertise in that way. Not sure that it helps improve Google ranking. Backlinks in posts is what helps to improve your ranks.

You're registered since 2013 — technically an O.G., but yet incapable of earning merits. Very fascinating.


The fact that sites/services are still advertising on Bitcointalk means that there actually is interaction from potential clients lol.


Nope it only helps them with traffic and brand identity, not search rankings and SEO in general.

I can only imagine how happy are people who didn't sell ''only'' $100 worth of bitcoin they received from bitcointalk signature campaigns few years ago.

And how many hours of day are people spending doing stupid things on social media, tiktok, twitter, youtube and other platforms earning around $0 forever?

Sucks but this is the prime reason why most people in this world lead a miserable life. They give up at the first instance of something that puts them off. They dont think the opportunity that lies inside if they stick around and learn a thing or two to eventually become a part of that group.

That is called diplomacy and most of the people fail to use that method to climb the corporate ladder. Learn it and you might actually be able to use it somewhere.

In either case, it is your choice, so see you around.

Nah, I gave up already. Posting in this forum is bizarre because 98% of posts are from you guys, and you feel the intentions. I wonder how this is profitable for the announcers since there isn't much interaction from potential clients. It's probably about Google ranking?

The question is whether any of those old timers will be able to motivate themselves to reactivate on the forum because of the possible $100 a week (if their goal is only to earn from signature campaigns)? In addition, they would have to be active for a while and prove themselves without any financial motivation - and even after that, it remains questionable whether any manager would accept them in his campaign.

I am of the opinion that the OP can actually make a good hustle from the forum campaigns if they put in a little more effort in writing well thought out posts and is regularly posting in sections of the forum that they are knowledgeable in.

This could in trading and economics - considering their background in forex and eventually learn about bitcoin enough to post in other sections too.

It is all just a matter of taking the first step. After all OP's account is 11years old and we need the old timers to come back to the forum and not abandon it.

Who else agrees with me?

There is no doubt that signature campaign earnings help to keep traffic on this forum, and if there were no signature campaigns, there would obviously be less traffic.

However, i don't agree that there are not enough topics to discuss about crypto, it is now about the incentive to keep such discussions going. Take note that there are new crypto related matters that come up regularly and people will always need help also, and run to this forum for help from more experienced members, there are a lot of things to talk about.

2 hours per day is nothing if you're actually really into crypto, and there's actually a crap ton of things to talk about when in the industry of crypto. Crypto is literally technology, finance, and politics combined.

I myself am on Twitter/Bitcointalk (but mostly Twitter) 10+ hours a day minimum discussing and doing research because crypto is literally my work.



It's really not based on writing style but more of contributions that get people to earn merits. Lots of people here with broken English earn merits because they know a lot.

I have a hard time believing that you guys would be here 2h a day if it wasn't for the campaign. I mean, there is only so much you can talk about crypto lol.
But I thank you guys for the answers, I don't think my writing style will ever generate merits, so this really is nothing for me.
I think I have some merit left to give, let me see if I can give to everyone

Your title seems to have the notion that farmed accounts are going to have a future chance at getting into campaigns.

Managers are well aware of these little tricks that sneaky dishonest people attempt to use in order to get into campaigns, lets just say they will personally make sure that such users are not accepted.

If you think $100 is "just" an amount, you will surprised to know that in developing countries that amount of money is enough to feed a family for close to a month or so. So no it is a good source of money for honest people participating in campaigns on this forum as a side hustle.

Some of the users here have a flair for writing and for them, this is a good place to discuss and learn about crypto. Your objective should be that and not just making money and you will be able to get along nicely.

If I get the OP question very well, he is only looking for ways to earn merit and enter a signature campaign. He is not talking about looking for ways to become a signature campaign manager or reporting posts. Although if it is about just money received for posting, people's time individually on this forum can not also still be the same. That is why I said mine is around 2 hours because I will not like to just come here and spam but read what others are posting and give like 4 or 5 posts or more daily.

This is precisely the point. I think the time spent by members in the forum is based on what they actually do here. Campaign managers would have a different criteria and mindset to be here versus say non-campaign manager members.

Also, dealing with a large quantity of PMs or reporting posts to moderators does not contribute to receiving merits or signature campaigns but it does consume a lot of time therefore there is no formula to provide more accurate explanations.

It is not that easy with Stake. 25 posts is $50 for hero and $62.5 for legendary. After the 25 posts, hero earn $0.75 per posts while $0.9 for legendary (plus 20% extra for those that post under gambling boards for both hero and legendary). When I calculated this, to earn the $160, you will need to post almost or over 100 posts.

There is a limit to what Stake participants can posts:


Only 4 participants can win $35 which can make it up to $160 weekly. Earning up to that is very difficult and almost unrealistic.

Actually Stake pays up to $160 in a week For hero/legendary users who can meet the requirements. Not everyone gets in, but those that get accepted can do decent weekly.

The only campaign that pays $120 is exch while campaign like the one I am which is Livecasino.io, and Shuffle are paying $100. Other campaigns like Bcgame, Blackjack, Rollbit, Duelbit, MetaWin etc are all paying less than $100. This forum is like a social media to me and I visit this forum anytime that I like to post while I set notifications for new topics. At least I spend 2 hours daily to earn weekly on this forum.

In fact, you want to say that you would do anything to get your hands on a campaign that pays $100 a week? In that case, you admit that you are on this forum only for profit, and considering that you are a Senior member and you are in one of the worse paid campaigns, it doesn't seem like you are doing very well, right?

Sig campaigns have always been an additional privilege, not a reason why someone would be active on this forum - although of course this is not true for everyone.

If I can receive $100 a week out of my campaign payments, I would gladly take that any time of day and I would try my best to earn the merits needed to rank up so I can be eligible in getting paid that much amount. Most campaigns don't pay that much amount in a week if you complete their required post so I would gladly go for this kind of thing even if it takes years. You can even consider doing other kinds of services that would net you some money if you want to make it to more than $100 a week here, plus the merits will trickle in much easier if you also do this, basically being an active member of the community of the forum would help you in the best way possible.

It is not about the amount of merits received, the campaign in consideration or the pay offered, if you're a member of this forum genuinely then you should understand that the major aim for the creation of this platform is to discuss about bitcoin, but if you're a quality poster and an active one, then you will be placed or opened to several opportunities that may come in along the way, but not compulsory, it's an opportunity to see around you because you have also acquired some certain level of being productive and able to deliver.

I don't think that's how it works you can spend the whole day but if you're posting nonsense and spam then it's useless and you're not going to earn merits and respect or you can spend a few hours but if you can post the best answers in any discussion then it's easy to earn these merits and gain respect.
Contribution is not a matter of hours it's the quality of your output.

How many languages do you speak? I see that you post in Português, German and English, so your chance of collecting more merit is greater than others.
You can get an average of $50 to $120 per week, and if you are distinguished, you may earn up to $300 per month. If you keep these coins for several years, ROI may be greater.


anyway +2 Merit

That's the wrong question.

How many hours do people spend doing research to be knowledgeable enough to earn merits?

There, fixed if for you. Your learning is mostly going to be off-site.

If you want to give it a shot, good luck. If you don't want to educate yourself, too bad.

For many users, earning merit is not a priority. It can even be said that the most merit is earned by users who are not burdened with it.


What's $100 more than nothing, right?

You don't have to be in any "circle" to be a quality poster - but what's wrong with having people with whom you like to discuss and with whom you share similar opinions? There is a topic that shows the so-called "forum gangs" in a comical way - and as far as I know I am not in any of them, so I wonder how I am rewarded with all these merits if I don't deal with circle jerking

Lol...this is concerning really as the market force has been naturally dropping the pay rate. The forum tried to establish itself ever since m!xers have left but I think the reality is bitting hard now, not more $250 or more offers. Though there are still good campaign offers, except that it is not more than $100, excluding the bonus, and with the bonus, people may still earn $160, but with some tough tasks.

It is not business as usual, but time changes and things might be reviewed upwards by the same market force that dropped it. That said, it also depends on the way you view it as the earning from the forum is a passive income, and regardless of the country you are in the world if you are earning $400, it can do some extra things for you compared to if you never earned it.

This is also with less work to do, especially if your campaign asks you to post a maximum of 20-25 per week (an average of 3 posts per day). However, this is huge money in some countries, and with that little effort put into it a day, it is a very reasonable extra income on average.

Most people only spend a few minutes a few times a day on this forum. Long enough to login, make a post or 2, then go back to life. Others spend hours a day reading not only new posts, but educating their selves and reading old posts. There is so much valuable information on this forum and it's all free to read.

There is no set amount of time 1 has to spend on the forum daily, people all have different reasons for being here. As long as you are trying to contribute and be helpful, you will be able to achieve a goal of making $100 a week.

It really varies.

If you're a campaign manager in Bitcoin campaign, you have a chance to earn merit without spend a lot time.

If you're a popular person, say Satoshi, Laszlo, Andreas Antonopoulos etc, then anything you post in this forum will be merited, you don't have to spend hours.

If you're an OG, you still need to spend some hours, but you will achieve it.

But, if you're just an average, then you need to try harder especially if you're come from low activity local board i.e. without local support, your chance will be slim.

yea, It probably isn't viable at all. Also I hate circle jerking and that is basically what people award.

There is no magic formula for success in terms of x-hours - x-merits = $100 per week. It is true that there are many people for whom the forum is just a place to work, but that is simply not what the forum should be for. With the attitude "I'm here to earn merits and earn $100 a week" you won't get far - but no one is stopping you from trying

Do you guys think it is viable?
How many hours do people spend here a week to earn merits?
and than you receive only (max) $100 a week?
