I was checking out some alt-coin signature campaigns since I was mostly about bitcoin and when I was looking at some ethereum campaign, I've seen that they offer Stakes as a reward. I'm not quite sure what is it or what does it mean, can someone explain? Thank you. 

Basically at the end of each week users in the sig campaign receive stakes if they've met the weekly post count requirements. The amount of stakes they receive depends on the user rank, the higher the rank, the more stakes a user receives. The way I see it at the end of the campaign the predetermined amount of coins reserved as a reward for it(it's always stated before the sig campaign starts) is divided by the sum of all stakes the participants received during the campaign to see how many coins is each stake worth. Campaign participants then receive their coins accordingly to how many stakes they have earned.

oooh, so the stakes are like pool mining? Everyone get's the amount accordingly to their work put in?

As far as I know it's something like that indeed. Difference is that the work put in by a Hero Member user for example is valued more and rewarded with more stakes than the same amount of posts made by a Full Member. More experienced users feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about something.

That's about right. And then when the coins mewn, you sell.

You will get your reward based on your total stakes, that means the total bounty will get divided by the total stake. And at the end of the campaign your stake will be calculated by the manager or dev.
That's relaly simple explanation.

I think most of the people do not like to be a part of such projects who are paying n stakes, as they do not know that after ICO ended when the altcoin will be added in the exchange either its value will increase or decrease. So, people are not trusting  on such project and most like to join such campaign who are paying in bitcoin.

It is just like a commision in a certain budget for example they have fund up to 1bitcoin they will divided depend on your stake when you have high stake higher commision you get in the campaign it just depend in the fund i guess.But they need exchanger to the campaign you will need to wait a week or more.

In addition to your explanation, your stakes depends also to you rank. If you have a higher rank say for example you are a Legendary or Hero, you get a higher stakes or share. At the end of the campaign, your stakes will be totaled and calculated.

It's a way of ICO propaganda.

There's an advantages and disadvantages sometimes these campaign accept many members and the stakes becomes small,because there's a lot of people in the campaign,if the budget is big and there's few people on it,your stakes is big so better look first on the number of people they are accepting..

Now that you already know what stakes means then you also need to do your own ground work before joining or else you might have worked for something far less of even some times not get paid. The reason for that is because some alt might not have the financial where withthal to pull it off where as some might have envisaged a major break through but the community is not moved by such so at the end of the day, the stake might not even come of might be worthless at the end of the campaign when payment is to be done.

I also think so..
More experienced users will benefit more

I think that's the right logic, but it will be a bit difficult for the newbie

In fact most of the signature campaign who give stakes continue their signature campaign tell the ICO started, and most of them continue it  tell they add the coin in exchange, then it  depend on the price of altcoin in exchange for which the price of altcon is trading. 

it is depends on the alt dev and team, how many coin for bounty divide by stake ur have and other participant..

Usually DEVs are per-mining a % of the coin and then are giving bounties/stakes for tasks like social campaigns, translation bounties and sig campaigns. Receiving stakes is like mining coins/shares. Sometimes is worthy, sometimes not. Like I saw a 50 stakes reward for 3 tweets and then 40 stakes reward for Sr. Member signature and minimum 25 posts per week. You should use your common sense.

Solve this example:
How will you share to each participant?.

1000000 Coins for twitter campaign

Max participants:500

5 Stakes per week for 1 month
Total Stakes:20

Coin Value $2

Total of coins you get: ?
