Bitcoin Forum

I want to share something with every newbie who joined this wonderful forum just for the sake of enrolling in a signature campaign.
I joined this wonderful forum way back in the last days of 2018 but I was not regular back then. Due to recent epidemic, I was forced to locked at home like everyone of you. I took this chance and started to devote some quality time here. Apart from the invaluable learning and increasing comprehension skills, I earned some money also which I wanted to share with you guys. From the initial days I was clear that I will not be joining any signature campaign whatsoever because it leads to the compulsion of posting minimum number of posts in particular sections, which can only be done by compromising with your quality and enjoyment.
Below are my earnings through freebies, forum special free rolls, free signup no deposit bonuses, reviews etc (which are open to any one, some might have jr member rank requirements) and just forum games in last 90 days.
 
No deposit signup bonuses:                                                           0.012 BTC (this is the final amount that I have managed to cashed out).
Forum special poker free rolls (very tiny field) :                               0.009 BTC
Games and round Participation                       :                               0.005 BTC
Others                                                          :                              0.002 BTC


TOTAL                                                           :                              0.028 BTC 

That is above 20000 INR which is quite good for just couple of hours invaluable learning.
That might just give another perspective to look about this wonderful forum even if you are here for monetary gains.

NOTE: These monetary gains are nothing compare to the learning you will have here if you spend some quality time here as per your own
           pace without the rush of signature campaign's compulsions.               

Thank you for sharing your experience.
I can add that this forum is also meeting place,  where you can meet bitcoin funs from all the world, talk with them,  get to know people etc.
Also,  this forums is some kind of news online portal for members.
You are right, this forum is much more than place to search for  earning opportunities and we shouldn’t forget it.

I enjoy posting on bitcointalk (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5211630.msg53410888#msg53410888) and I'm on a signature campaign, the case is the same for majority of the quality and constructive posters on this forum who all wear signatures. So you're wrong, signature campaigns do not compromise quality, it's just a way of receiving a bonus for posting, and the quality posters would do so(post on the forum)with or without it.

Amazing experience! Aside from learning experience being here in forum could reward you some money but always remember that this is not all about making money.

Forum is a place where people interact and discuss, whether its about cryptocurrency, bitcoin, or political aspect in life.

Im using this forum to wind up some of my time aside from work, and learning also some good stuff about cryptocurrency especially trading that helps me gain technical knowledge though the money part sometime makes me depress due to losses. Anyway congrats for your monetary gains.

I might be wrong, but I might be right. I accept your proposition that quality poster will post quality post irrespective of signature campaign.
As far as you enjoying posting here, I must say that enjoying posting includes the right to not post anything which is hard to get in signature campaign.
Quality posting is a skill which is acquired through hard work and could be expedite through guided introspection which is all I am advocating instead of just joining this forum for signatures.

That's big when you consider no effort or very little effort was put into receiving those reward. I had always had doubts for free things since after trying few of them and wasn't successful instead ended up wasting my time. The casinos related rewards, I presumed, you had to gamble with the fund or deposit something to be able to withdraw the bonuses you recieved that's why I haven't participated in any of them.

Hope you won't mind indicating the boards you got the rewards to make it easier for those who're either new to the forum (since those are your targetted audience) or those aren't new on the forum but new to this concept of recieving free reward.

Also some examples (link to thread that give you this reward) would had been nice so others can seized the opportunity of similar opportunities when they present itself in the future. Thanks for sharing.

I somehow disagree with this. Though I am also aren't been on signature campaigns for a long time, I've seen that some users that also has no participation in campaigns aren't active recently. I don't know what really happened but as what the OP had been realized, this quarantine is a great chance to be back on posting and interacting with quality here in the forum. And I think that bonuses isn't what would make a quality poster stay on his run. It is also about his passion in learning more and fulfilling doubts in his intelligent mind. Hence complementing the OP:

Kindly update the thread OP is you may with CryptopreneurBoss 's suggestion and also, why not indicate answering the question HOW and not only sharing HOW MUCH alone? It would be much helpful for the beginners whom are reading your thread to somehow give them ideas with your ways of earning.

 enjoying the posting if it is paid? This is the reason why many users have been banned in forum. The lack of effort in making a quality post leads to spam in forum. Yes, sig camps are really good because you just posting and they will pay us.

But for me, it is more good if we will exert an effort in every post that we do. Because it is worthy to receive payments if your banner below your post will goes in a long period of time.

Payments in signature campaigns are just a bonus for a quality poster of the forum. In my POV, I am more happy to see beautiful comments under my topic because everyone is trying to give essence the signature material that they are wearing.

If you want to be paid, make quality post. Because managers want posters who are active and responsible in posting. Of course, they want an assurance that their applicants doesn't spam the forum.

However, it isn't necessary to be a good member or quality poster if you are in sig camps. Because a lot of members I have seen that they don't wear any materials yet they are really good in posting.

Example:
Some of moderators

Great to see you are enjoying and earning at the same time, that's the prize of being so resourceful.

You are right, this forum is more than just a signature campaign because there's only few members here who are wearing signature compared to the number of users who have created an account int he forum. Total members are over 2 million as of today, that's big enough and I would not be surprise those company who choose to promote their business here.

Anyway, good luck, I hope you'll earn more and I hope you'll be able to join a signature campaign soon, and I hope you rank up as well.

Here's my opinion. Without a signature campaign, will I be active in the forum? Probably, but I'm not going to lie— I won't be as active as I am right now without a signature campaign. Simply due to the fact that while I will still hang around here, I'd unfortunately need to exert more effort into doing other things that could help me pay my bills. It's the same reason why while a lot of people love sports, they wouldn't do it all day as they also need to work to survive.

Signature campaigns in my opinion are perfect for people like me who really genuinely loves interactive on online forums, and are genuinely interested in Bitcoin. Doing what you love but at the same time being paid some money for it— the perfect combination.

Just my 2 satoshis.

To set the ball rolling here in Bitcointalk learning comes first - and that includes if you here for pay days- some members who came here for pay days like bounty and signature has also been part of the bricks that makes the forum stronger

And this are not ideal instances to show one is learning bitcoin/cryptocurrency
To me signature campaign is a more forum originated way of earning which is monitored by campaign managers.


No participants is forced to join, the perquisites and what's required of a signature Campaign is written and if it's not enjoyable you skip it.  
Nothing comes easy -many would want to relax and have a supernatural money earning method that if it's possible-

You already earn even if you are still in low rank, I would expect you will explore more not only in the forum but in the crypto space and earn more.
The reason why the signature campaign is popular in the forum is because during the last bull run, a lot of bounty hunters made a good money during that time, and until now some still think they can still make some from joining a signature campaign.

The forum is big, although some would say that we are signature spammers, but we are not, because they can't determine that if we are not wearing a signature. I don't understand why some people hate when you are  making money while you are actively posting in the forum, I think that's the privilege of being loyal to the forum.

As we can see, the market has change, we have experience the worst maybe but signature campaign is still here.

This only tells that this forum is good for advertising.  

Great job, there can be a lot of hidden opportunities in this forum that people aren't aware of because they don't look for them, as the devote all their time to sig campaigns and bounties. When I was just starting on this forum, I was wisiting the Securities board and made a bit of profit with the opportunities presented there. I wouldn't recommend it to others though, as the risk of ponzis and exit scams is too high, but what I can recommend is that if you know languages other than English, try checking your local section occasionally if you don't do this already, they often have job offers and other opportunities that don't get posted in main sections (this is also how I earned money a few times when I was a beginner).

Thanks for sharing your earning experience.
In my opinion a good signature campaign also helps you to increase your earnings. There are many ways this forum can boost your monthly take home but you cannot completely rely on it. There are instances when payments have got delayed or got postponed due to some reason or the others. You always need to have a permanent source of earning, rather these additional incomes.

On point here. I would tell even more, its like global hub for Bitcoin users, you can't beat that.
It have most topic/posts out there. Even reddit not have so much new content than here :)

Good, you did it.

This proves that the forum still holds a lot of revenue potential for all levels of users even though he is a beginner. You prove it, but as @CryptopreneurBrainboss said, I also want you to be able to recommend it to beginners where you really get it and what you do "if you dont mind". Regarding your income for the past 3 months, I think it is very good for you and I hope you will be able to maintain it. Continue

The mk4 opinion actually represents what I think, being very active when using signatures as a site promoter and slightly relaxing muscles when no signatures are used. Whatever the pay, users who can post high quality things are expected by the forum. The point is that forums cant be used as the main place to make money, prioritize knowledge, quality and good contributions, so qualifications like this are needed to promote the site through signatures.

We can list hundreds of reasons on what Bitcointalk has been contributing to the Cryptocurrency community, it's not only signature campaign it's just one side of it, but the most important contribution is, this is the birth or starting point of every great project, it's hard to get mileage for a project if they are not going to start here or will not create a thread here, this is also the best place to check if the project you are supporting is well supported or considered a scam project.

I think spending time for freebies, free rolls, free signup, reviews, etc will cost your precious time resource that should be used to learn about Bitcoin, blockchain, cryptocurrency on the forum. I don't have too much time on the forum but I see people are very knowledgeable and newbies can learn from those experts or knowledgeable users.

I care about privacy so I dig to find such discussions on privacy and find some good documents here.
Good topics on security and privacy (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5239098.0)

It is no doubt that this forum is more than just joining signature campaign, it's just that signature helps to motivate the eagerness of learning in order to contribute something meaningful into the community while helping yourself to support financially.

Actually, I might not be as active as today if there is an absence of signature campaign and it is more likely that I will just become a lurker reading from different section that interests me or maybe I will just be asking if there is a technical issue regarding my bitcoin wallet etc..

Other than   free bet from games and rounds  you can also find here many giveaways tournament that you can also win real money .


Here is the example of tournament  of cartesi that you are able to win up to 1000$ worth of their tokens for just playing a game and be on top.
Cartesi + WazirX — $5000 Creepts Tournament  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5251921.msg54524993#msg54524993)

Well wrote OP, to be honest lots of forum users even didn't visited few boards ever. Perhaps I am one of them or not but there is so many. And that's the real reason behind peoples don't know there is such as earning opportunities even without joining signature campaign. Good to see that your intention isn't to join signature campaign but nothing will be wrong if you are a quality posters. At the beginning I hadn't joined any signature campaign as well, but since I was very active once a time and made lots of post then I thought why not join a campaign where I could earn some passive money. That's how I become signature participant and I haven't stop my contribution still now. So if a good contributor wear signature he will make same post like before either wear signature or not. But if anyone join on this forum just for earn via signature campaign then likely it wouldn't possible due to merit system. Nowadays it's very complicated to join signature campaign for spammer.

One of the best aspects of here is that users can express themselves as they wish and freedom of expression. Therefore, even though I am a Bitcoin investor, I cannot find such a free area on many websites in my country. Apart from that, I have been using forum sites for a very long time because I enjoy sharing my ideas with people and sharing people's ideas with me. I don't think many of the members here use the forum for signature campaigns only. They are users who enjoy both writing and earning BTC ;). For this reason, I respect every user who shares herself/himself ideas without violating the forum rules, even if he participated in a signature campaign. Also, users who have managed to join a quality signature campaign have already proven their knowledge about the cryptocurrencies. For this reason, they deserve to be part of the forum.

Will it be possible for you to share which all you participated and won so that for others it will help as they would know that it was genuine and can be worth trusting on it. Also, in future whenever you join any of those or you come to know so if you prepare a list and submit here so that for all it would be under one thread if it is possible for you.

For me the best thing about the forum is the knowledge that people share and if you have any problems post it and other will revert you with a solution or any finding so that we can do it in better way. Once you grow or learn, money will follow.

Yes, signature campaigns is just the Cherry on the cake for many of us, because it rewards 100's of hours of participation and constructive contributions over several years. Many people start out with this forum with the aim to earn additional income from signature campaigns, but as time goes on, they quickly learn that there are much more to this forum ...than just extra income.  ;)

It took me several years to get to where I am now.. I browsed through 1000's of threads on this forum and dug a little deeper into topics that peaked my interest. I signed up with several sites that offered ways to earn passive income and I learned a lot about Crypto currencies and platforms that was built around it.

The true gem of this forum is not the extra income, but rather the wealth of information that are offered for FREE on this platform.  ;)

I would say that as an adaptation, the first goal is to get income from gifts or campaigns but over time some users begin to turn into good and useful contributor to forums and communities. Using signature to promote the site is actually not the only way if the aim is to earn money. But this forum still keep many other options for earning money such as mining, opening services, buying and selling and others.

Although sometimes this is not used as the first destination when getting to know the forum, but over time this will be the ultimate goal of users who want to change and want to care about the forum and its community. Sometimes good people are not seen at first, but there are times when they will appear along the way.

Your story is an inspiration not only for newbies but for old members as well, when bounty hunting are not profitable at all or people are having a hard time making a living out of this forum, you found a way how, on your succeeding post I recommend you give us details on  how you earned those amount and from what sites.

Honestly, I am also surprised with such good results and earnings.
I tried bounty hunting in the past and didn't have any luck  ;D ;D
It seems you find a way to make profit from it and your experience may help young members, who don't have a high enough forum rank or reputation to apply for BTC campaigns.

That is what some would say unfortunately true, because we often see examples of new members asking "how to make money on this forum", which means that they have heard from their friends or acquaintances that this forum serves for that. It would be interesting to do a survey (anonymous of course) to see how many users are here solely for money, and how many are actually interested in cryptocurrencies. Somehow it seems to me that the result would be pretty bad, if of course the users were completely honest. I read this forum for almost a year without being a member, and I honestly had no idea there was something like a signature campaign. 


I agree that this forum may be the best source of information for crypto, but what many still do not know is that it was founded by Satoshi Nakamoto, so it is a great privilege to be part of something he started. Although his greatest achievement is the invention of Bitocin, this forum is also his work, which is certainly not negligible.

Hmm, I understand you if you are acting like that every time you don't have a sig campaign becuse I once became like you lol :D. But I realized that I have a wromg mindset. Because if you are really willing to learn and to help somebody, you will do it not because something pushes you but because you want it. From now on, I make sure that I joined at least one discussion per day. It doesn't necessarily mean that it must be about crypto, Meta and Serious Discussion are cool boards too. You will learn a lot of things from those places. Also, I lurk oftenly on our local board and give tips/advice especially for our newbie kababayans :).

Well, If I feel that I can confidently help the user from his queries, then I will not hesitate to reply even if I don't get paid with bitcoin. Helping and educating people is still the very best thing we can do in this community whether we will get paid or not isn't it?

Absolutely! Helping even in your own simple ways is very fulfilling. Plus, it increases your self esteem somehow since you can show them that you've got a good wisdom(without being boastful of course). And another thing I love with helping, you can get merits in return sometimes :D. This is a sign that it's okay for being not as technical as the others, someone out ther can show their simple appreciation to you for just being kind and generous.

I have the same reason as you, this forum made me survive to feed my family. I do not want to be a hypocrite, but joining the signature campaign offers a little hope for me and my family.

By following the signature we remain active and productive in the forum, even though the signature campaign ends, it remains active, though not as often as when it comes to carrying out the signature campaign assignments.

The perfect combination by following the signature and paid and always active in the forum.

The approach you take is very good, sincerely when a person only looks for money without looking for personal growth, I think it is empty.

 Our forum has topics with a high level, when analyzing some important members you will find that there are some that really amaze me their ability to be aware of almost every topic regardless of language, and their opinions are of a very high quality .

 I think that money should be earned and earned using the brain, in fact it is the correct way to do it, when you put the income given to gambling, Welcome bonuses is one of the ways to make money, but when reading the topics, when analyzing each post of some members will feel that the information is given in detail and becomes so specific that it has specialized value, I think it is similar when you read a book, the only thing is that most have read books, have had experience and obviously having all this is much bigger than money, because with great knowledge you can make a lot of money, just as you have, thank you very much for sharing your experience.

We might have different views for the same goal, which is earning income. Some of the posts above that they say honestly if the signature campaign is a steady income they get until now but they must really contribute to the forum and provide benefits to all. I am amazed if you can get a large income in just a day even greater than the income of a signature campaign, generally that kind of income is just luck from the event. The point is however the mechanism of earning that income is your portion, as well as the portion of others.

Yeah, we cannot deny that signature campaigns make us earn money and survive in the current bad economic condition. Although not all people are in the same situation, in fact it already contributed to help us still earn money during the pandemic. That's exactly what I experienced currently.

It should be. Even more not only about active and productive, but most signature campaigns also require quality to be considered as valid posts. So, the signature campaign also brings positive sides. It triggers all members to improve their quality posts.

This is a quote that I took from the Signature Campaign Guidelines. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1684035.0)

From the quote above, it can be interpreted that the payment is received by a signature campaign participant is a form of appreciation for quality posters that have contributed to the forum and community. This proves that there is no opportunity reserved for spammers and low-quality poster to promote campaign because it can add to the burden of manager as campaign operator in term of preventing junk posts in forum.

A manager who has a lot of experience and has a good reputation in terms of campaign management I think will not provide an opportunity for spammer and low-quality poster to promote the campaign because there are basic guidelines for every manager that must be obeyed to select participant.

---

So, if you are a quality poster then you have the right to join and promote a signature campaign. The payment from a campaign is a bonus or award for you because of the quality of the post. In some cases, the quality of participants post can improve because they are asked to post quality, constructive thing during the campaign. Even so, a signature campaign is not the only way to make money on forum. There are many other ways that can be known, the OP has proven it to the community. Whatever the method, as long as it does not violate then it can be continued.

@kawetsriyanto, i am sure you understand very well about this.  :D

Right plus you can get a awesome idea posted by respected members on this forum and if people think that they can really on this for their daily living then that would be a bad thinking or a choice since there are times that campaigns stop for whatever reasons so better if we think about this signature camps are just a big bonus to us here and helping to other people who still in need of information is still the best way to show some gratitude towards the opportunity you get by using n this forum.

Thanks for sharing op, if you don't mind me asking, where do you find those no deposit bonus offers?

Edit: forget it, got it from your post history. I didn't even know games and rounds existed lmao


You are one the best quality posters of the forum. Your every interaction comes of as genuine.

Correct. Especially, on the signature campaign paid in Bitcoin, bounty managers won't be accepted shit-posters. Commonly, only the best quality posters who already contribute much in this forum to be allowed participating in their signature campaigns. I'm not saying that all signature paid in altcoins having shit-posters, but the signature campaign paid in Bitcoin has more strict and harder requirements.

Even, if there are participants found making shit-posts, they can be removed from the list of accepted participants. This showed us about the dedication of bounty managers to the forum in order to fight shit-posters and spammers. So, as you said above, it is true that there is no place for bad posters in signature campaigns.

The signature campaigns aren't diamonds, I mean irl you can make more money if you put in effort, but many just want it even by spamming!  :-* Forum is invaluable because of the learning resources and so many new and unique things related to blockchain and technology! We should never overlook these invaluable stuffs for just for signature campaigns as that's not a good deal! But I won't disagree that signature campaign and the forum has enabled lots of people to earn their bread in these circumstances like pandemic when there's no work! Thanks to bitcointalk for providing that opportunity to us :) !!

Signature campaign managers have good quality and reputation such as Hhampuz, DarkStar_, Coolcryptovator, yahoo62278 and other managers, have strict rules and selection of participants to screen participants who have good post quality and reputation. Spammers will not be selected and included in the list of campaign participants.

and the reputation of every participant who tries to register will remain on the special note of each campaign manager, they have a list of participants who are blacklisted or participants who are listed as participants with good reputation.

Well, I'm sure that we have many desparate members who make a living from these campaigns.
This is not a problem if it is about members who have a lot of experience and knowledge and can write quality and informative posts.
Unfortunately, the reality is different, and many campaign members write just to fill the quota of required posts for the campaign in which they participate.
It’s really hard for managers to pick quality candidates for their campaigns lately.

I agree that there are plenty of them. Let's not get too far, imagine how many members here got red tag because of being guilty of "dual account in one campaign". It's so annoying to see such kind of people because it seems that they're really willing to do something wrong and got dirty reputation in exchange of higher rewards. But well, I can't blame them either because we don't know what they are going through in life. We can't understand them until we able to place ourselves on their shoe, and that's sad  :(. However, rules are rules. Face the consequences if you violate.

Only for those who see the forum in a bigger picture can't compromise their signature campaign to monetary gains only. With the introduction of the signature campaign, some will either focus on the monetary gains while some will focus on getting knowledge base cryptocurrency from the forum. Personally, I came with the mindset of learning a skill in the industry and today am proud to be one, though wearing a signature, that doesn't distract me from be constructive in airing my opinion on the platform alongside learning new things around the platform. I have always consider here to be more than just monetary achievement.

This forum has been of help to those that lacks knowledge about crypto. I remember when a started posting newly, all the post I do read then made me to fall in love with crypto more often.  I became very acquitted with the forum, knowing what crypto is all about, which am still grateful at till date.  

Way back then, I wasn't minding whether I wear signature or not but I was okay with the knowledge I gained. That's way bigger than the money I have earned so far doing signature campaign. This forum has also made me to understand that there's future with cryptocurrency

 Even if someone see this forum as an earning platform they cannot earn anything without giving any effort for it. That is why people are forced to post better quality post since merit system was introduced but still many people thinks that lengthening their post is called as quality post making but getting into the discussion and post something which is worth to read by others is the quality posting. Different people have different set of knowledge so try to get master in that while earning something from signature campaigns.

Yes, that is right. There is so much to learn here. Even if at first you are only here for the money, after some time you should understand that only posting without content you will not get further than if you learn more about bitcoin.
