Bitcoin Forum

I want to buy your forum avatar, reply here with the amount of bitcoin that you want.


Only as information, I should decide in these days.

better make price list by members rank and post it here to avoid confusion about that avatar campaign.

i would like to suggest you to contact any trust escrow provider before start any campaign.

is this already approved by the admins?

Currently can we confirm our avatar can be change anytime or permanent after 1st April?

I dont think that admin has any problem with changing the avatar

yes, theymos already said it himself. the avatar feature will work properly starting tomorrow


maybe not changing. but using it for another kind of campaign and inviting more spammers is a different matter

I don't think anyone will pay bitcoin for rent an avatar, but maybe someone will be interested (I don't think it is against the forum rules).

I can do this but I need more info. What are the rates and can you provide escrow??

OK I will waiting for some avatar campaign for the future  ;)

Is renting avatars allowed on the forum or only the signature campaigns are legit?

May be If Marco is there, and Admin has no issue with Avatar campaign he will surely release a avatar campaign.

That's really cool if posts rate increase too.  :D

i think it makes a good advert, can understand why businesses would want to use it.  Lets see if it gets cleared for the OK, why not?

Wow ! new service. I will wait for that how it'll take place

agreed with you that will be interesting advertising campaign and many members interested to wear Avatar,
i think by member rank and per post would be nice for that kind of campaign.

How can you say about member rank? as Full member or above every one has the ability to Upload his/her Profile pic

I think the rate is the same for all the ranks (full member and above). Why the OP should pay every rank a different amount, there isn't a difference between the ranks. Isn't it?

How to create a avatar here ? I am newbie so i don't know how to do it. Thanks !

Newbie not allowed Full member or above only  ;)

[✓] Don't show users' avatars.

Yeah I already ignore all signatures...might as well ignore those too!

Starts at full member only?

Grue made a sig-ad blocker, in case you wanted to see people's real signatures: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1003570.0

100 bitcoin for lifetime ;) :D

I'm not sure about this.  I'm just getting used to my boobs

Read this post by a moderator :

Glad to know about it!
New way to advertise on web board with Avatar is cool! ;D

What is a Avatar.. :P

I will sell my avatar for 3BTC per month.

i will sell mine for 0.04 BTC/week

I think let him come out with offer to see what price he offers for each rank . If is attractive then why should not have his avatar for some nice amount ? His business and we both will be in win win position . ;D

Real avatar pics is working now!!
Avatar campaign is coming!!

That sounds good !
Post a Member-wise list for it

Not sure I want to sell it but that being said there must be a price that might persuade me. So throw me an offer and I'll let you know if I accept it or not.  ;)

So this is a thing now?

Im in, write me a pm  ;)

Guys, this was more than likely a troll thread please let it die down.

mashcom have you decided or not? We are waiting a reply from you.

Nice, Funny thing is I just enabled allow avatars now. Any you don't like just use Adblock Plus.

0.04/week

0.15 BTC/week

Sorry but i really don't understand what you mean ? this forum avatar or any avatar ? Thanks!

he wants to pay you to use an avatar of his own choosing, similar to signature campaign. usually it'll be an ad of some services/sites.

+1, avatar campaign will be popular here, it's similar to signature campaign. If the posters don't violate rules here, it's obvious that avatar campaign is reasonable and necessary.  ;D  A new way to make BTC

Imagine many senior and hero members have one brand avatar, it should be very good brand exposure and marketing strategy.


Good rate, I think avatar campaign is more powerful than signature campaign. 0.15 btc or higher rate for hero member is ideal.

I don't really think you will get that kind of rates atm. One of the biggest reason, is, it is not clickable. Second is if a lot of members wear the same brand logo, it will annoy other users. And it may not bring good publicity to it.

But there are ways in which it could be done and kept under control, but then the efficacy will go down.

I think the OP will pay (if he will choose to start the avatar campaign) the same rate for Full member and above, essentially because they can put the same avatar so there is not a real difference between the ranks... or am I wrong?
I agree with you, the avatar is not clickable but it will be the same effect of the tv ads. Here the important will be the views not the clicks and I don't think the staff will be against this option (but the final choice is from the admin).

I believe members should think about the possibility of Theymos disabling the avatar feature again if the forum is proliferated with avatar ad campaigns. Then members could be stuck with an ad avatar for a long time.

I think it is easier for him just to ask the avatar campaigners to stop, this IS his forum after all. and even if he does disable it, I'm sure there would be some kind of warning before that.

Not really. First of all avatar alone is not enough to promote anything in my opinion. Avatars are just a pictures. You can't click avatar like you click on in signature. The only way for avatar campaign to work is to combo signature+avatar and maybe even personal text. Secondly, every avatar is the same. There is no difference between full member's and legendary member's so why hero member should be paid more (again, the only reason is his signature).

Is changing avatar even possible ??? Beacuse it has been disabled long back by the forum...  ???

It is now possible, forum crew fixed that option and every full member and above can have an avatar now. Animated gifs are prohibited tho... so if you had animated gif already as your avatar you are really lucky.

Wow, guys you are clever, I forget the avatar is not clickable, good idea. So the static avatar couldn't get big traffics to the website unless it's clickable, it's similar to TV ads or street ads, the promotion is limited.

But I am not sure TV&street ads and internet ads, which one is more efficient?

They should make avatar linkable so that we can promote websites on our avatar & more opportunities for people to earn BTC.
People can earn 0.08 BTC/week.0.04 BTC for signature and 0.04 BTC by avatar a week

I don't think the forum team will add this option, they are bored to see signatures and you think about avatar clickable?

Yes! Clickable

Avatars are meant for personal images, they were never designed to be sold....

That being said, 0.05/week.

The same thing for the signature space, but someone has thought to start selling that space. So why not also sell "our" avatar for 0.20 btc per month (price fixed , or  pay per post scheme).

I think if avatars are to be sold, they should just be displayed like MarcoTheMiner's avatar, with his actual avatar on one side and the company name/logo on the other.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=147773

That way, avatars can still be unique, and people can earn bitcoin without the forum getting spammed with the same avatar.

Yeah, I hope someone will start also an avatar campaign (with the sig. campaign) for a fixed rate, what do you think of 0.03 - 0.04 btc/week? It is not intrusive, not clickable so it is not a problem.

0.04 a week for just wearing avatar i doubt someone will pay that much. 0.04 - 0.06 a month is reasonable in my opinion.

Is OP talking seriously or it is just April's fools joke?

I don't think people would like everyone with same avatar, because they would be confused about who truly made the post

Have people forgot how to read good enough to be able to read nick of person who wrote a post? You argument is really invalid. On many internet forums it is not possible to change your avatar and everyone have the same predefined avatar. Here is an example: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/16773748007 (http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/16773748007)

Tell me rate for me and I can help :)

Thanks for the posts, now I should think.

I will rent my avatar for just 0.05 a month . If interested.  Pm me with more details.

My avatar is also available for 0,05BTC/month,
please contact me by PM

I just read somewhere that any members of bitx sig campaign isnt allowed to advertise other sites in their avatar.

correct. and it's on the bit-x campaign thread, btw.
I would have missed that if I didn't check for an update.
marco should use the pm bot and notify the campaigners.

Or maybe better he can update the site (http://bitsig.website/beta/) instead to send a lot of PM and why not also add a 'chat'.
