Based on what you are writing, it sounds like something that belongs in the altcoin bounties section. If someone is having to do substantial work outside of the forum, the thread you describe would not violate the no altcoin giveaways rule.

I don't think it belongs in the Bounties section. Loyce's description suggests that this thread will be for discussions, not for bounty reports. In my opinion, and since it isn't about gambling, it belongs in the Service Announcement and Service Discussion sections. It is only a question of whether this thread belongs in the Bitcoin section or in the Altcoins section.

Then there's another section that nobody has mentioned yet, Micro Earnings:
" Faucets, rotators, web based games, and other services that are primarily based on ads and/or micropayments. "

In a world of peaches, don't ask for apple sauce

If he wants to announce it (and he's mostly giving away altcoins), Bounties (Altcoins) is probably the correct board (at least based on your description of the puzzle / game). If it's a discussion thread about the puzzle / game / whatever then Service Discussion (Altcoins) is also an option. Depending on the amount of BTC given away compared to the altcoins, Games and Rounds might be OK, but don't be surprised if it gets moved to the altcoin sections if BTC is less than 50% of the total prize pool.

I'm afraid that if it'll be posted there then instead of a proper discussion it has a big chance to fill up with shitposters who won't understand what's all this about.
But maybe I'm wrong, maybe I have a wrong impression about the bounty hunters of 2022...

Seeing the logic behind the replies I understand now how right OP was to ask this question in the first place. And I believe that indeed the proper answer can only come from mods.

This is not going to work like a normal giveaway where forum member posts their usernames/crypto address, isn't it? theymos said,

Quote from: theymos on January 27, 2014, 01:11:50 AM

Most giveaway threads are no longer allowed in the Alternate cryptocurrencies sections. From now on, posting or replying to such threads could result in being banned. Existing threads will be locked.

Specifically, you are not allowed to give people any incentive to post insubstantial posts in your threads. You can't offer to pay people who post their addresses, usernames, etc. You can do giveaways off-site and link to the giveaway page in a thread, but you can't give people any bonus for replying to your thread.

Similar threads are already restricted to Games and Rounds in the non-altcoin sections, but the giveaway-related post volume is so high in the altcoin sections that I've decided to just ban them entirely here.

Where the quest will be given? If I'm not wrong then the Quest was posted outside of the forum and OP (quest_777) had updated it in his thread. However, there shouldn't be any problem if you are going to post the quest elements in your topic. Because, forum members aren't going to receive prizes by replying their usernames/address in the thread. And the chance is really low to see ‘insubstantial posts’ in that thread. It will only work as a discussion thread to reveal the quest. In that case, the altcoins quest (giveaway) thread will not break the above rules. Or I'm missing something here? You may run this in Service Announcements (Altcoins) or Service Discussion (Altcoins)

I think that I saw some gambling websites in Altcoins section that are not accepting Bitcoin, so that would be perfect place... I can't remember exact place, maybe there is Gambling in Altcoins thread.

Altcoins gambling site ANN threads are made in the ‘Service Announcements (Altcoins)’. As example: check this. There is no specific gambling board in altcoins section.

Gambling Discussion or Altcoins Gambling doesn't seem right to me. With gambling, I expect the user to risk something. In this case, it's a "free for all" game without the possibility to lose money.

It can still be fun and group of people/friends can solve them easier I think.

I think so too, that's why sharing results could lead to a useful topic. And that's another argument against the altcoin boards: they're filled with spammers.

Since it's not mainly Bitcoin, I don't think Games and rounds is the right place. But altcoin giveaways aren't allowed either.

This are not exactly giveaways he is offering but more like mind games, so my suggestion would be to open separate topic in Altcoin section, maybe best place is somewhere in Marketplace (Altcoins).

If he manages to keep payment at least partially paid in Bitcoin I don't see why he couldn't post even in Games and rounds.
It's best to hear first some confirmation from moderators.

I've never managed to find one myself, but spent many hours on it last year after printing and taping 16 pages together.

Big brains are needed for solving this.
I tried solving few bitcoin puzzles before, but I lack patience and skills for this.

Where can this be posted and discussed?

Imho the main options could be Gambling Discussion, Gambling or maybe Games and Rounds, although for the last one it's said

Quote from: mprep on June 04, 2021, 07:52:59 AM

Giveaways, games, raffles, airdrops and other promotional campaigns that pay out a part or all of their rewards in altcoins do not belong in Games and Rounds.

My vote would probably go for Gambling Discussion, although I know that's not gambling per se.

User quest_777 asked my support on promoting his Quest on Bitcointalk. He's done that before (several times), and the prizes were legit. This year, prizes are mainly altcoins but also some Bitcoin.
Many of the discussion happens on Telegram, and a lot of it is in Russian. I think it's a nice quest to share on Bitcointalk, and it would be great if there's some active discussion from prize hunters around it.
Since it's not mainly Bitcoin, I don't think Games and rounds is the right place. But altcoin giveaways aren't allowed either.

The Quest is a large art drawing with words hidden in them. Follow the words/arrows/hints in the right direction and you can complete the seed phrase. I've never managed to find one myself, but spent many hours on it last year after printing and taping 16 pages together.

Where can this be posted and discussed?
