Bitcoin Forum

It is very good to see that today I am a Jr member. It is a very interesting thing for me. I am now a target member. I'd like to wear a signature now. What should I do now? Waiting for signature campaign or starting a bounty campaign. Which will be beneficial? Many people have told me that bounty campaign does not make any profit.

Best regards
Coin-Desk

I started to join in this forum to be a Bounty Hunter. Maybe they all think does not make profit, because not easy to find a good project and predict that ptoject will success and give big profit.

In fact, I believed that you were a Junior member weeks ago, not today.
You got six merits, some of them weeks ago.
It is probably that you promoted today when you got enough activity counts. It maybe due to you were lack of active time some days between each two-week timespan.

Congrats mate on your ranking up.


Challenge yourself more.  Member status is just 4merits away so that isn't much of a challenge if you post right and add quality. Don't let signature space via bounty hunting distract you. If you join one be among the few that don't spam forum just to get post count. Do you have a goal for 2019 already? if you don't go set one here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5091772.0/) and work towards achieving it.
Goodluck ...

If you are interested in signature campaigns, don't you have to wait for new campaigns. Because you can participate currently running campaigns. The rewards will be depending on what campaign will you choose. Because there are so many scam projects. Then do your own research to choose good bounty campaigns.

Congratulations on your new rank and never relent on your good activities I would also advice you put it extra work on your use of English although you are trying.
The market situation are poor so they are at the moment few good bounties

My advice: give priority to taking money of your pocket and buying Bitcoin.
You can take months here in the forum and not win anything, but if you take the money from your pocket and buy bitcoin and Hold, you can make a lot of profit in the future. Of course you should do a lot of research before investing and avoid investing in these scam ICOs and these Shit altcoins. Bitcoin is the best option to invest in the long term

When I joined the forum, I did it during the great hype period, and was genuinely intrigued by all this virtual community world. Being myself rather an anti-social network sort of creature, I took it with an exploratory spirit, wanting to unveil both something about myself, and about what the forum was about and the surrounding mass hype.

Leaving my personal investment side apart, I thought that social tasks required by bounties were strange. One is mostly required to monkey copy/paste messages on to his social networks, and “spread the word” of a normally random ICO.
 
The first thing I noticed is that I had no Telegram, Twitter nor active Facebook (nor other lesser demanded social media channels). The second thought that came to mind was that, had I has those channels in use in my day to day life, why the hell should I be spamming relatives, friends, acquaintances with ICO promotional messages ?, which they :

-   a) would not understand.
-   b) would not appreciate.
-   c) Leave a wrong impression of who I am.
-   d) Get me on their ignore lists (real and virtual).

So the obvious next step was to create a dummy set of social accounts and use those to spam … others, that do exactly the same in turn. Of course, being a sort of experiment, I tried it for just a few social campaigns, and felt like a right twat monkeying my way through the social media channels.

From the ICO’s point of view, you get to spread your word, but likely in a “don’t shout at me because I can’t see you” kind of scenario. That is, people blast out the messages with little understanding on the receiver’s behalf, or interest whatsoever.

From my personal viewpoint, it seemed like a rather demeaning set of tasks, which I followed through to the end on a very reduced subset of occasions. Aside from that, the return on investment (ICO Token) is normally crap so that was it for me after a very brief test run.

Signatures on the other hand are more compelling, since they do not require you to monkey around a retweeted message, nor invade your social circle with spam. What one types in their posts is their own prerogative, and since typing crap is not in my nature, signature campaigns are something I can live with.
I’ve only been on two though: The first one was a fiasco, and although I joined because I thought that the project seemed decent enough and not some bullshit scam, I think I’ve yet to receive the (now rather) worthless token. The second one is the one I currently bear, and no complaint’s there. In between, I stayed off signatures for quite a number of months, since I did not want to be asked to perform a certain amount of posts per week. In addition, this being a hobby for me, and not a means of living (as seems to be for many - bad option in my opinion), helps to have a decent focus on things.

Having said all that, in short, social bounties more often than not do not pay off, neither in terms of tokens nor in personal esteem. Signatures are more compatible with my thought, so long as one does not spam their way through the forum to comply with quotas.

This man ☝ already stated a fact. As for the bounties, you should avoid them, if you'll ask me its better to make a good aim. Don't concentrate on wearing signatures in a short time, but have a more straight thinking on how you can get to a higher rank other than the MEMBER. Just continue on your good work, and let this signatures be a side rewards for your efforts.

Never mimic other Juniors. Avoid Social Media Campaigns/Bounties. It will not bring you anywhere.

Put in more effort and brace up for higher goals.
There is nothing wrong with trying to earn from the forum, but growing tour account some more would put you in a better position, and you woukd learn a lot more along the way.
Take down the advice already giving on this thread from members who had used it (that advise) successfully.

Well, congratulations mate.
It's really hard to become a Jr. Member nowadays, it's really hard to obtain Merits :-(
Anyway yes, you can start to join some signature campaigns  ;)

Sad to say but it's only for the likes of you buddy. How come did I reached Full Member with 140 Merits if its hard to get one?

I advise you to read my tips 👇

Actually, Juniors isnt suppose to be participating on bounties or signature campaigns not until they reach the Member Rank. Its for your own good.

Classic pajeets does that kind of thing but as for the OP, I think he has some good points to be considered. And just a little bit more he will reach the next rank.

It shouldn't be hard,should it?, it could be though for users who don't belong here,the thing is the quest for money brought in a whole lot of users and they did not quite take out their time to even understand what the hell they were getting into,and with your activity score,it seems you fall under such category.
You must have to set a target and learn more about cryptocurrency in its wholesome nature,get involved in discussions,read articles and from them make out your own threads without having to copy any word from it.

But when you make posts such as the ones in your posts history,then for sure yes, merits will be hard to come by

No, in 15 jan my activity was 28 and yestarday my acyivity was 42

What can I do to have merit please. How does one get merit? I see some people have and some do not, I just don't know how it's done.

Well not by just doing social bounty reports and asking the same question on the wrong board (you asked in Bitcoin Discussion today).

The theory goes that you need to start creating decent enough content in your posts (be it informative, argumentative, witty, novel, controversial,  or whatever). People that have sMerits (not Merits) may spot one of your posts and reward them with merit if they see it fit.

How did you grow from a newbie to a senior member? I want to learn from the best.

I just deleted that message, I really do not know how things work here but I catch up soon. I had no idea it was on a wrong board though I deleted it immediately I saw your reply.

Food thing is I learn fast and I love reading too

I wouldn’t really go for how the best managed to rank-up ("best" is also a relative concept), since the ones that have managed to earn bags of merits are rather much an exception (not necessarily because they are exceptional people, but because they have stood out from the crowd often enough, bringing something somewhat different to the table, although not necessarily crypto-depth related).

I would focus on other merited poster rather than the top segment to start with really, and see what they post about, the content and depth of their posts and so on (simply browse the forum or use the official merit stats (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats) to jump to merited posts, and profiles (but again, don’t focus on the top ones).

If I were to summarize it, if you really want to rank-up (I’m assuming further than being a Jr. Member), it mainly comes down to will, focus, effort and time. If one is here just for the bounties (and you may at the beginning until you realize how boring and belittling they are), then there is no way that person is going to achieve a decent rank nowadays with the merit system.

If on the other hand one enjoys the forum and what goes on in this virtual sub-world, then the focus of mind is different and one posts with the will to bring something to the table and not simply to the personal token wallet value enhanced slightly by the end of the campaign.
 
Having said that, focus on what you are good at, and take time to create your posts, giving them thought and depth, avoid in in general the superficial on-two liners that are empty of content. It is way better to just create one post or two per day, than to go on a spamfest rampage and produce twenty low quality/interest posts. The time you can place into the equation plays an important role in all of this, and may well be rather correlated to ranking-up speed.
 
I would read quite a bit too before posting, to get the idea of things before you start-off on the wrong foot. There are also rules on the forum (see  Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.msg7955645#msg7955645)). I didn’t read them until months after joining, and they are pretty much common sense, but it is better to take a look at them anyhow (for example, posting multiple consecutive posts in row in a same thread in a short timespan is normally going to break rule number 32 …).

You only need 4 merits to become a Member rank and not like me who has many activities but only gets 2 merits. And related to what you have to do when choosing bounty campaign and choosing a signature campaign that is paid for with btc, indeed I prefer to be paid with btc. At least when you get bitcoin then you don't need to worry because it certainly has a price, different if you get token, even though you have lots of tokens on your MEW then maybe only a few who has a price.

Congratulations! There are some campaigns who allow junior members in their signature campaign membership. However, I would recommend you to grab the larger opportunity provided by this platform. Many experts and senior members are willing to share their knowledge and experience with newbies like us and it's worth much more than what we get in terms of money. So seek the knowledge, everything else should be the byproduct of the process of learning.

The road from 8 to 10 is a challenging yet rewarding endeavour.

Just contribute more helpful posts and you'll naturally get them along the way :)

Congrats!

I also became Jr.member only recently. So i decide the same way. I would definitely decided for the signature campaign. There is a myriad of them, just to make the right decision.
With signature campaigns, i have good experience and for this reason i recommend the same (i was once jr.member - i did not have to have 1 merit at least, now the rules are changed, if i remember correctly).

It's not good just to join signature campaign alone. You should have do more like challenge yourself or doing something new and you might enjoy it and also earn a profit with newly learned skills and knowledge. You don't know what lies ahead of you whether it's up or down. I also start same as you as I decide for signature campaigns alone for months until I tried something new for me.

If you get a chance to join bitcoin paid signature campaign after becoming member, join there because if you join in a token campaign, you will not get anything. There are a lot of slots get open in 777 and bitvest campaign after Monday. Keep a track to those and get into one. It will be better.

It's not that he won't get anything. Its just a matter of lucky pick. Its either you get rewarded or get scammed, its on your own awareness. Bounty campaign are worst in so many cases but still it doesn't deny the fact that these campaigns might also be good in the future...

And when it comes to signature campaigns I don't inviting him to get on it is a good idea, He might think that its only okay atleast that his on the Member Rank. Ranking up is way more important to look on not the profits on these campaigns.

Why im still newbie rank even if i have 35 activity and my account registered 8 month ago?

To rank up, you must receive Merits from other users. Think of Merits as upvotes for useful posts.

Ranking up doesn't apply for post counts, in case you're wondering.

The easy way for new members right now is to pay a small fee to get a copper member rank and by this you can get the benefits where member accounts can get. But I don't actually know if campaigns are accepting copper members rank by now. But anyways congratulations for the rank up, Keep posting some more beneficial and informative post so that you will get a merit and jump on another rank level  :)


There's a merit system implemented right now and it will hard for you to rank at this moment, but if you grab a 1 merit then you can climb at the JR member level.

Hey first of all congratulations on ranking up, now you need to put in more efforts if you wish to join a signature campaign. I would advise you to work on improving your post quality further, and submit your application to signature campaigns. I don’t like bounty campaigns they’re not worth the time, focus on your post quality and join a campaign soon.

Congrats on becoming a junior member now you have just proving your worth by scaling Tue first level but don't let this make you feel content let your hunger be even more.
Improve you posting abilities and possibly tlyoubwould reach the next level in no time

Hmm how about using the forum as a forum and stop worrying about your rank? It will come to you when the time is right. I think if you engage in normal discussions, those who can give you merits will.

I think some of the signature campaigns even allow jr members, but since your signature space is very limited, don't expect a fortune in return...

Also the campaign managers want quality messages anyway, you might as well practice beforehand...

Same as I .. I am still a JR. Member I am only 1 merits left to be a member and I still don't give up on getting my 1 merit... I am focusing on studying more about this forum and provide a good and meaningful replies and topics that could help someone... Even though I still don't get my deserved merit it is still ok to me and it encourages me the most to pursue more in contributing to this forum... ^_^ that is my 2019 goal..

Perhaps, I can help you with that, just give me a certain post of yours that is something useful and well-written. And I might consider giving you a reward and let you have the Member Rank. And just to be sure I don't intend to give Merits to a post that has been already rewarded by other users.
IMO, it has been already rewarded and I simply can't give another consideration to that.

Congrats, Please give some tips to become a Jr. Member.

congratulations for you friend
Jr.member with 6 merits . That's is good achievement.
I haven't even done anything yet.
just read the forum rules.
but I found it interesting about the ranking upgrade scheme.
it makes me even more excited. ;)

It depends upon the bounty campaign you have partaken, most of the projects right are being abandoned due to the problem of the market and also its financial but I am not saying all of them. There are some ICO projects also runs successfully this time you can check it out at
