it's a system that probably got most attention during the waves signature campaign.
Unlike regular campaigns, in this system, members don't get paid by fixed rates or pay per post rates.
There is a total budget for the campaign (which should be mentioned in the thread somewhere) and users get paid distinct shares of that total budget.
If you have X stakes, your payment would be: (total budget)*(personal stakes/total stakes).
E.g. having 10 stakes in a 5BTC campaign with a total size of 1000 stakes would give you 5BTC*(10/1000)=0.05BTC.
There's no definite answer what is better or worse, it always depends on the individual campaign.
correct. and it depends on that specific altcoin project as well. because usually these kind of campaign ran by those altcoins which are not launched yet and currently in ICO or will start ICO. so if the ICO sucessfull you'll earn good money. but if ICO fail than you possibly end up with nothing or very small amount of payment..
I have 2 examples:
1: Incent Token Ran the signature campaign for about 3 month (if I am not wrong) and they collected only 1 Million and a campaign user earned only 0.1 to 0.05 BTC in whole campaign period..
2: ICONOMI Ran their campaign for 1 month and their ICO collect over 16000 BTC. so Each participants earned around 2BTC to 0.5BTC in whole campaign period.
and lots of campaign gave nothing to its users.
so always join a campaign by reading their project and business plan properly.
