Bitcoin Forum

95% newbies of this forum is active on bounty threads.  They do not want to enter any other discussion thread.  Not many newbies even know that there are such discussion threads in this forum.  They have no interest in knowing anything about Bitcoin.  I don't understand why they do that. So do they lack knowledge about this forum?  How can they be made aware?  In my opinion every newbie should try to gain knowledge about bitcoin from Active in different discussion threads.  If they do, they will be in a better position in the future.  I know that the seniors of this forum are trying in various ways to make the newbies aware of this.  The reason was that they always realized that "today's child is the father of the future."

I get it if they needed the money faster, because it's safe to assume that there are a lot of people here that are in not-so-good situations. But on the other hand, a lot of them would have a lot better opportunities if they actually decided to spend some time with research and actually learn. A lot of them have been here for years and years but still solely stick without bounties.

One thing's for sure though, it's pretty evident that a lot of them really don't give a crap about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies and there's nothing we can do about that.

EDIT: typo

True that. But your discussion is not about bitcoin and it can be discussed in Beginners & Help (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=39.0) (is it for newbies, beginners)? or Bounties (Altcoins) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=238.0). My respect, the discussion is not necessary and the Beginners & Help is more and more trashy with bull market since 2020.

What they do is not discussion, it is spam. It is not a discussion at any level if posters do neither read OP, first posts and last posts. Bounty hunters type as fast as possible to get posts or some don't even make posts, they make bounty reports (facebook, twitter, ie.)

People who do bounties are generally from third world countries and they are obviously not financially independent. It is logical for them to look for ways to enrich themselves as soon as possible. When seeing bounties that advertise themselves with a budget of $500k in tokens it is hard not to FOMO and participate in the activity.

Anyway I believe that as long as they spend time in this forum their subconscious is exposed to deeper discussions about the technology and current events.

Like you've said they don't have any interest. It's not that they lack knowledge but they are more concern on ways on how to do or earn money here.

They will realized this in the end. Also came from this and able to stop myself from doing social bounty and divert it into something more worth it. Those 95% assumption by OP is technically reduced somehow in the long run. Some of those are probably changing as they observed what is best here and that is not on spamming on bounty.

Am not sure it is because they do not know that a discussion thread exists, it is because this newbies are mostly here to earn rather than learn about bitcoin. Those who introduced them to the forum must have told them that they stand a chance of making alot of money participating in bounties and social media campaigns. This is wrong thinking and that is why you get to see their profile with bounty reports.

I have never been bothered by the existence of people making money through this forum. I actually feel that if this forum can be useful in helping them financially, that's a good thing. With the campaign and campaign participants, the economy in this forum will be formed naturally. I am sure, some of those who expect money through this forum, there must be someone who studies this forum more deeply, including studying Bitcoin and blockchain technology ... I am very sure

There will come a time when they will have to upgrade on this forum from being money hunters to knowledge hunters and they will upgrade their creativity. The reason is that money always follows people who are knowledgeable and creative.

They prioritize money over knowledge and that's the time that they will have a problem understanding their goals in life.

This forum is not only about earning money, it is about character development and widening your understanding towards the economy, cryptocurrency, blockchain technology and etc.

This is not a gambling site, this is not a money making platform, so you should develop your mindset and start hustling not only with bounties but you for you skill to improve and become much more effective in making critical discussions here in our forum.

But that's the thing you don't actually get paid to the point where you can rely on it for income. If you get lucky then you might end up with tokens that you can then sell but often that's not the case ;(


I agree and I think this is perpetuated and passed down from 'friend-to-friend' but it is not something reliable or something you can grow in, perhaps a temporary solution to some financial difficulty, and perhaps lack of time to learn new skills??? Let's face it most people on this Earth are in that situation, never having the time to better themselves.

Bounties is one of the best way to earn without any investment just time and effort and so it's very popular for the newbies who wanted to earn cryptocurrency but yes that's true if they would just rely to bounties they won't have any future to it. It's not like the 2017 where bounty was still profitable now it's just full of scams and worthless tokens.

I just noticed many newbies who only creates account just to join bounties are here for a quick money and unfortunately we cannot do anything about it only the BM has the responsibility whether they will accept newbies or not if you are a responsible manager and you want to help to make this forum clean from spamming you should limit your participants to Jr.mem and up or much better  accept only Member+ let the newbies learn first before earning.   

This should be posted or move to meta, beginners & help section or other section that could fit this topic to be posted. Anyway, bounty hunting does not require any rank here to join except signature campaign and if bounty managers made some rulings over bounty hunting. Usually bounty managers had simple rulings and tha if you can do it then even if you are newbie you can still earn.

Maybe because the person that guide him here is only teach him how to earn in bounties .so they are  only focusing on earning money and not to talk to anyone here in this forum .they do not care in discussion but only in how much  money they can earn while they are here.

This is also the reason why it is much harder for them to rank up because the  only post they made is proof of authentication.

First of all, this thread doesn't belong to the Bitcoin discussion board, the thread should be moved into the altcoin discussion board. Reported to moderators, hope they will move it.

Back to the topic, it's true that 90% of newbies active only bounty thread. That's not only newbies problems, responsibilities also go to introducer who have introduced this forum with newbies. They only informed about the earning from the forum, not about the other benefits. Newbies are thinking there are quick earning methods buy bounty campaign, and that's the reason why they have been active on the bounty section. But eventually, they regret it due to numerous scams. You can't divert them into constructive discussions, because there are no financial benefits from them.

That's basically the biggest problem on this community. People that have come here just to make money without having any special or technical interests about bitcoin. Internet has thousands of these unethical people that will do anything just to make money. I bet that there are hundreds (if not thousands) of people among the forum's members that have created a scam looking survey, spammed it on people's instagram, just to earn some bucks. I hate when I visit sites that make huge promises by doing a survey.

As for the bounties, I don't think that it's that bad for the forum. IMO, it's just too stupid to participate. You're hoping for a project to go well and there are thousands of others out there that failed.

True. I made an account on March and I have to admit that this is a fact: Signature campaigns > Bounties. Months passed since I realised that signature campaign thing.

The truth is that a newbie in a forum that is very new to them wont go striaght to the bounty section to engage in bounties immidiately, it seems those newbies are already familier with forum so it is easy for them to carry out bounty task, this means that they are not new in crypto anymore if they can already perform this task properly,  we have millions of registered and non registered members who visit this forum always with different intention.

In my opinion, it is absolutely true, beginners who register and create an account in this forum only want to participate in projects that hold campaigns just to get prizes, they don't want to have good knowledge of cryptocurrency here, even though they have a lot to learn. to find out about what cryptocurrency will look like in the future, not just following a bounty campaign. In my opinion they were only taught by someone how to get prizes in this forum, the rest they are not informed about cryptocurrency knowledge in this forum, even though if they have good knowledge about cryptocurrency this can be used to tell people who want to learn. more about how cryptocurrency is in the future.

Take a look from different angle - why would they need to be interested in bitcoin and technology, if they are here only to get money. Their only goal is to earn and it is wrong to force them to participate in discussion and to learn. As they are newbies and mostly participate in social media bounties, imagine they are, for example, security guards in medicine research labs. They dont have to be interested in chemistry, physics and medicine, or show an interest to learn new. They just do their job, same as bounty hunters newbies, who barely goes out from Bounty section.

You may not know those newbies are related to each other I've seen many reports about bounty abusers wherein they create multiple accounts to participate on bounty campaigns I think the bounties are full of cheaters the projects/bounty itself that runs from participants and the participants who are cheating. I really can't see any future if you are going to rely on the bounty itself.

Maybe they are not aware but there are some who are, but their actions won't give them anything. The standards on bounties are now "higher" than before wherein there are projects accepting low rank participants but things are now different. Most of the time, projects prefer Sr. Member rank and higher. Full members are not even having huge opportunity in projects, so what more if the ranks are lower. Eventually they will be more likely pushed to work with their ranks. For sure they are here in this forum due to rewards and not merely discussions alone 'coz what will they get from doing so? It will trigger a domino effect. They would work on this forum, pushing them to interact with other users which will eventually give them knowledge of what this technology is all about.

It isn't surprising at all because most of the newbies only came here to make money from it,
They found it because of some hunters or some people who also made money from this forum.

a lot of newbie accounts are former bitcointalk members with high ranked accounts who got their account banned for some reason and they are using multiple accounts to participate in bounties to earn rewards so the quality of posts decreased because they are handling so many accounts plus the newbie members who joined recently they need time to adapt and learn.

Always possible. But unless they literally work all the and only have a few hours left to rest or do chores or something like those extremely poor and unfortunate people, the "no time for x" is mostly BS. If you really wanted to do something, you'd make time for it.

Good for you that you seem to know what you're doing. :P

I think this persentage is more.  Because all the newbies who only work in the bounty keep newbies. I have seen some newbie members whose activity is more than 1000. And those newbie members who participate in the discussion of different boards of the forum do not have to stay newbie for long.  Altimately their rank goes up.

I think Bounty Hunters should at least gain some knowledge about Bitcoin from being active on various discussion of the forum.

This type of mindset should really be stopped because this forum is not only for earning money.

Bitcointalk forum wants to build a community that supports and give importance to the blockchain technology and cryptocurrency world.

Newbies with that kind of mindset should understand that once you prioritize feeding your mind with knowledge then money comes next to it.

Unfortunately, the concept of the forum has been falsely introduced to newbies. Thus, they approached the forum with the idea of making money as it was informed to them in such a manner.

The forum opened so many opportunities to everyone, especially in the matter of knowledge. It has different sections that discuss various informative and helpful topics. But sadly, they don’t understand the benefits of knowledge but rather focus on what they can possibly buy with their earnings.

The forum is meant to be a discussion where people exchange their knowledge and ideas about a particular matter. Getting sufficient and new knowledge is much better than just focusing on earning money here.

It's all about the money ;D

But not all of them wants to make money from this forum. I am sure that many of them doing bounty while they learn a lot about cryptocurrency. We can not blame them to try to make money.

Newbies or we can say new members of the forum are very eager to earn their first dollar via their hard work by entering many bounties that they are capalbe of but the problem is they didn't know yet what bounty campaigns have the future and what bounties are shit campaigns.

Therefore I agree with your statement that most of the newbies have zero future as most of them are not open to other discussions that can help them to find a better project to support on.

Many people visit only to earn money, they don't care about the rest of the forum's life, they only see the bounty tab and that's it.

This cannot be changed in any way.

Bounty spammers in this thread saying that it's all about the money:


https://i.imgur.com/T3YVk08.png

Are you concerned that the future "generation" of Bitcoiners will be less knowledgeable about Bitcoin? I think it's not a problem, as more people come to crypto, there will be more people who understand only very little about. It's like with any other invention - first come the enthusiasts, then the masses who only interact with the surface. Early Internet was full of geeks, programmers, hackers, now people who can only visit Facebook and check emails are still using the Internet on a daily basis. Similar thing will happen with crypto - some people will only interact with it through exchanges without ever installing wallets.

I will conclude that those newbies have only come after for a profit. They don't even care about other things on this forum that is why they have lack knowledge about Bitcoin and others section, which is kinda sad. Forum is supposed to be a platform where you can share your knowledge and learn as well while getting a profit is just a bonus. Bounties can be profitable however, only several of them can provide a good service, while others are completely fraud or making an exit scam. So basically, there's a vague future ahead of it.

Knowing bitcoin is one of the target but for sure to gain a profit after that is second priority, I believe they already get a knowledge about bitcoin and cryptocurrency since they already in the bounty section. And I don't see any bad thing about that since I'm sure we have one aim here and that is to gain from cryptocurrency but we have different strategies and those newbies for sure lured out to go on bounty section. I'm sure if they stayed here for quite long time they will go to the other option and bounty hunting will be less priority to them.

You are right about this and I would say the reason I joined bitcointalk was because I was introduced through bounty but I know better now since I read through posts and also participate in those I understand.
My question is why do most people on this platform dislike people that participate in bounties when most of them also participate in signature bounties?

So would you conclude easily that people who participate in bounties are spammers? I do not accept this as totally true.
Most times, ignorance makes us participate in things because of the little profit we get from doing it. If learning about bitcoin would make them earn more, why not enlighten them more.. instead of tagging them with names.

I don't have any problem with the newbies who joined this forum for bounty or money, we have a different status in life and not all people are fortunate. Some newbies here really need the money that is why they enter this forum and become active in the bounty section, well we cannot blame those people because that is what they want and that is also what they need as of these days. They can do both things, they can participate in bounty and learn knowledge about cryptocurrency at the same time.

Why do you think right away that it's zero future?

We all start as newbie, what we need to do is just to learn from our experience so we will succeed in the long run.
Bounty campaign may not be as popular as in the past because it's reward was decreasing, or the success rate is low but it's still here, who knows those golden times will come back and a lot of opportunity will come, so if we learn and we mature, we might succeed that time and make some decent rewards.

I am a newbie so far I have focused on the bounty purse penny I get, but from now on I want to increase the discussion on this forum. I'm trying to rank up for my enthusiasm to discuss and exchange ideas in this forum, can anyone help me? I thought I was very messed up

These people are introduced to Cryptocurrency and Bitcointalk in the wrong way they just know that they can make money from doing bounty campaign I have a lot of friends on Facebook who is active in the bounty campaign, some of them participating in discussion but because of the so many bounty campaigns that they are participating, they have no time for discussion, just their accounts and you'll see they are into at least 10 bounty campaign.

It doesn't sound like you're already changing your habit, you still want to join a bounties.

Just focus create a high quality post and put some effort while creating it, don't expect you'll get merit because it will hurt you if no one send your their sMerit. Probably some motivation from this thread would help you.
[1] https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5189040.0

Then change your habit, it's okay to join a lot of bounties but the way I see it, you are mostly focus on bounty reports, you are not so much engage in discussions in the forum, which I believe is necessary for you earn merits.

Your question is on how to rank up, the answer is very simple, earn merits and you'll rank up in time.
I've seen a lot of members in the forum which started from newbie but work their ass hard to contribute to the forum and earn a decent amount of merits overtime and they rank up, I think you can do that since others were able to do it.

Also, please understand the merit system.

here; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0.. that was posted by non other than theymos, the admin of our forum.

It's do creative of OP to have put the concept of this topic in a mathematical equation. For a fact, your very much right and any one who has been into bounties for some time especially at the beginner stage would confirm that equation to be equivalent.
The funny part of everything is, despite a few failed efforts, users don't realize how much it is a waste of effort and time to have been fully involved in just that section of the forum while neglecting the part that feeds you with a information that would improve your life all round and not just within the forum.
Bounties aren't bad but, not knowing about the forum first is a kill stone.

Actually, they heard about bounty payment from his friend or relative. They get motivated from then they made an account on BTT and start doing bounty works. Even without knowing anything. They not also do bounty they always try to spam and cheat. After a few months of work, they didn't get any payment and leave talk.
Even I saw that some shit hunter using my BTT username for joining bounty though I reported to the manager. My advice for newbies you can do bounties, it's not a problem but follow the rules and keep doing it. But try to gather some knowledge, understand crypto, learn to trade, learn something which will give you a real job in the crypto world.

Unfortunately their first thought was wrong, the person who gave his knowledge to invite beginners to join the bounty campaign had a big role. Most of them just want to get money from forums using social media and the internet. Actually if the basis for him joining is curiosity and his purpose is useful in the forum, trust will come to them, just look at legendary seniors who have good reputation, money will come to them. But it's all a long process that requires effort and willpower.

Absolutely right, there's knowledge already so they know how to make money regardless of the market situation. The bounty hunting was only popular in 2017 and 2018, after that, bounty hunting is only mostly a waste of time and if newbie would join, most probably the purpose is just to spam the forum with post and reports just to get a stake, but in the end, they will still not get what they are expecting.

From my observation it seems that those people in the community who fails to join discussion especially newbies are not properly informed about the advantages of discussion in the forum, so in another perspective their attention is only to make money by joining bounty signature instead of grabbing knowledge that will lead them to a higher height from the community. Shall everyone has a personal objective while is here.

There are some bounties that gives fair payments, it would just take a good look to what company they will be joining.
That is why before joining any bounty campaigns of any platform, one should atleast do some background checks before deciding to join to that campaign. Otherwise, the risk is much higher.

they don't want to care to discuss whether it's about Bitcoin, forums or crypto-related stuff, the problem is "money" expect tokens given by the bounty or company and generate more money, done.

In fact they know all that is good about Bitcoin and this forum, only they don't care, anymore, anymore, money, there was no way to prevent them from getting into this problem, only their self-awareness could change.

Those bounty give fair payment but they will have a lot of participants, actually I like to know if you can convert the word "fair" into figures, because in the past, people are earning $1,000 ore more after the bounty task, so they'll expect the same that's why they are still into bounty.

Don't worry about them, at one point in time they will end up spamming the forum and the admins will have to ban them, it's not hard to know who have the best interest of this forum at hand, if they have interest in bounties only they will break some rules

Fair bounties of course still exist, but it's rarely seen now that participants may already know which ones really earn from bounties with fair payments, say Injective protocol that pays hunters 30k USD is that big enough for now?
Do they accept the spandan that they do?
It depends on what task we are doing because each bounty is different in its allocation assessment.
But of course don't expect the full bounty.

We understand what these newbies are doing in the first place on Bitcointalk. For me, I think one of the reasons why they only choose to be active for bounty purposes is the fact that the ones who introduced them in this forum only told them to register and just learn how to post proof of authentication, follow instructions, etc. I believe that they just forgot to tell them to actually learn Bitcoin, blockchain, cryptocurrencies, etc., from the community by participating in discussions, in which their mindset is just to make money from these bounty programs.

The forum is not for all like the average user that only know the basic of the computer. Joining signature campaign would be the most common every users here will undergone in bounty hunting and that include social media bounty hunting. Well, social media bounty hunting is not bad in my opinion as long as you comply to be good in the part of signature or being responsible enough as a bounty hunter by deleting bounty post report after the campaign end.

At least when your just getting started in the forum I think you could joining some bounty here in the forum since you wanted to learn about cryptocurrency here in the forum.

By posting in the forum you could learn a lot about cryptocurrency and at the same time, you have a chance of earning a profit in joining a bounty even though almost a lot of them are failed projects or scams.

The problem here in the forum is almost all of the newies are just an alt account of the other members that are created to farm bounties so we could not really expect anything from that newbies.

There is a truth about this and that trust is the fact that, most users are Here basically based on the fact that they want to earn and as a newbie, it becomes a major driving force which pushes you to bounty hunting!

I'm not surprised that most newbies do this. What I ask myself is, how do they get to identify and know what the bounty section is about more readily and easily? And the only answer I feed myself with is based on the way they've been introduced the forum to.
As a platform where you can participate in discussions and earn a few bucks so almost immediately, they are an instant bounty hunter not knowing of its consequences.

I'm not going to pent bounty hunting black or like must not do kind of thing but, if your target is to earn useless tokens or coins then your welcome to bounty hunt and be ready for a long pause otherwise, it's best to seek the knowledge the forum offers freely.

That's because 90% of the so called newbie aren't newbie per se instead they're alts of members already on the forum. It's a common practice of member (especially those participating in bounty) to have multiple accounts cheating the campaign just to gain few more cents. Bounty aren't bad which is why the forum has them listed although when you get obsessed with them because they give you few dollars is when it becomes a problem because it'll turn you into an unproductive members of the forum.

You can participate in the bounties and still become a productive member of the forum, that can be done by contributing quality to topic been discussed. The issue with bounty hunters is they don't engage the forum instead they're just interested in profiting from the forum as a result spamming with their bounty reports.

Apart from the money they can get through the bounty, maybe they are confused at first, they don't know where to start, besides that, differences in language and language skills also matter.

Now joining a bounty is a waste of time, because most of these bounties are scams yet there are many people who join the bounty. The reason for being more active on the Bounty Board is that almost all Bounty Hunters have multiple accounts so their activity is more visible.


Those who come for the purpose of bounty do not have any kind of skill. They participate in the bounty by creating multiple accounts so that they can get more money payments.

If people can actually make money from this forum to survive it ain't a bad thing, the financial condition of many countries are bad, many developers that build projects for investors aren't doing it for nothing sake, they want to make money too and they have to give something in return, whether bounty is a waste of time or not let them seek for answers themselves, there are many bounty hunters that end up quiting for good because they got nothing

I want to ask a little here.

Say a manager launches a bounty to promote it in this forum and of course they have agreed to pay to manage the campaign, so suddenly the campaign stops in the middle of the road, whether the profit is a manager who is paid first by the team while the hunters are not get what, so what at a disadvantage is a hunter?

I haven't been a manager before so I want to know about that?

Well, those who refer/mentor new forum users also play lot of role in this. Imagine been introduced to this forum by a spammer, you would think it's normal do that. Some doesn't even care about ranking up to junior member rank.
The solution I'd suggest is that projects should made the conditions for joining their bounties more difficult, Maybe Full Member upwards. That would reduce spams of new bounty accounts and project would observe the difference in result.

Joining bounties doesn't necessarily mean you habe no future in this forum. Before, there were really good bounties which offered lots of profits that could be a great help when you're about to start your investment. Suddenly, there were lots of scam bounties which discouraged people to join it up until most of the bounties are already gone now. As you join a bounty and meet up their requirement, you're unconsciously learning as you wander the forum and it will definitely help as you continue your journey in the crypto world. It might be unhealthy for the newbies to start their exploration through bounties but at some point, it will make sense for them.

I would not say I have gained much experience. Because I was the first to enter here to bounty. Everyone new here starts their account to bounty. They think it is one of the most important cryptocurrency platforms. As a result, they refrain from discussing any other topic and only the bounty is activated.

You are absolutely right. Most of them don't give a shit or crap about learning more or understanding more about btc or cryptocurrency. And there is nothing anyone can do about that.. Most of them just wanna do bounties. That's all..

beginners who enter this forum only because the bounty is very reasonable because in the past I was also a bounty hunter. But it has been on this forum for longer, especially at this time with bounty campaigns that are more fraudulent. Our minds also have to change and don't always expect from the bounty. Develop an account that is owned, consistent with posts and quality of posts, it will be better. there will be more productive signature campaigns. it is a gift for those of us who continue to contribute to this forum.

Go to any bounty campaign, take a newbie user's weekly report, go to his profile and open his posts. There you will not find anything other than hunting for a reward.

That's right, because the new accounts are bounty dependent. They only come here to bounty and they don't even try to know anything other than bounty. However, many try to cheat with new accounts. Also scam. There is not the slightest interest in learning about Bitcoin or Alt-coins other than making money. Their profile is full of reports only on Facebook, Twitter etc. With the advent of the merit system, it has become possible to identify the real person.

Most newbies that have only bounties in mind will end up quiting because we all know how hard it is for bounty hunters to get good gains from campaigns this days, some projects won't even pay bounty hunters after the Campaign is over, let them give a try and see what happens later, newbies are very popular for promoting fake and scam projects anyway, they will end up in furious mood after 5 different projects don't pay them lol

Many newbies comes from youtube and telegram where they have been taught that bitcointalk is for bounty hunters and they earn some pocket money on bounty ny doing some task. Newbie didn't know that if he used forum for bitcoin talking and other talking purpose this will help him to grow more and they can used this experience for trading and other purpose.
I myself trying people to motivates them to take part in posting other than bounty and many of them now started it.

They thought this forum a money machine and this will make them rich very fast . And they don't even know or visit any other thread thread expect bounty thread .Certainly they have zero future in this forum .

Of course because they never really want to stay in the forum, just do the job and then expect some payment, even if they are already spamming. Actually,  I won't be surprise if they themselves are not reading the forum rules before starting using their account, so they can easily break some rules.

They'll not rank up unless they contribute and earn some merits.

In my opinion, because of this situation in the world, because of the COVID-19 scamdemia, many people have lost their jobs, and the only way for them to earn some money is to participate in bounty campaigns. These are the realities, maybe in 2021 the situation will be much better, one can only hope. I am a newbie myself, but I am interested in all these discussions around cryptocurrency, it is very useful information for me.

No, I can't agree with you on this, there were plenty boity hunters right away before pandemic period, participating in different bounties even when it wasn't paying them with rewards, there were kits if scam bounties right before pandemic but they never give up and still participate in them, I may say that doing bounties is a just a thing if the the mind and its a fun to them.

To me, newbies participating in bounties makes up the 80% of forum members that are recorded, but its isn't make sense as they care not about bitcoin discussion, gambling experience, one becomes perfect when one stop  hitting altcoin bounties board button, one becomes scam free/alert when one avoid been a hunter, it helps me a lot.

Newbie accounts in bitcointalk does not really participate in the forum if their main intention is just to join the bounty.

They will just make use of their account in making reports, that's it, they'll spam the bounty thread with report and maybe you'll see some who are not really sharing to the discussion with sense because they are just shilling a certain project, what would they risk, nothing, because even if they get red tag, they can just easily make a new one.

Just wait till they get more experienced and open "signature" sheet in spreadsheet, multiply high ranked users reward amount with altcoin price and realize how profitable signature campaigns are. Then they will start to think how to level up and start to visit other forum topics except bounties. Bad think is, when they level up as high as possible (that probably will be Member/Full Member accounts), they will switch to what they start with - using forum just to earn, but this time drowning forum in spam/off-topic.

I figure that, being the thread’s context that of bounties and Newbies, we’re essentially discarding signatures in the equation, and focusing on those so called social tasks that consist on spamming the hell out of one’s contact lists on Twitter, Facebook and such (plus the occasional post on Medium or Telegram).

Being that the case, I assume that the payment, if made, is going to be in tokens, and I wonder if that still pays off nowadays. Perhaps one in a thousand cases may add up to something, but are these bounties worth it anymore in general terms?
 
Maybe there is an economical country-based context that makes it somehow worth it in countries with extremely low income (bottom tier of https://www.allinallspace.com/what-is-the-average-monthly-salary-in-the-world-in-2020/), or a youth based correlation (pocket money), but I thought jackpot bounties were more of a thing of the past.

I see that almost all bounty reports are newbie accounts that have just been created and they are only for reporting so there is no intention at all with this forum they think is the money from the bounty.

Newbie accounts will not discuss or contribute to this forum even they do continue to spam every week they report, so what they are doing is really nonsense because what the bounty will be will not determine fast results even it will injure because of many accounts newbie caught due to multiple accounts.

most people who are participating in bounty campaigns are not newbies, they have old accounts on the forum participating in bitcoin signatures campaigns and for that reason they create another specific account to participate in bounty. look at how well they get to know the bounty section and they don't post it in other sections just to avoid being discovered. last year I saw a lot of this, but as they were people that their old accounts were no longer participating in signatures campaigns, I forgot about this

Right you are. If the new users dose not spend their time in right way or right topic they can not be successful in bounty campaign. I am also trying to be a member now i spend a lot of time here and try to post in different topic and wish i will get some merit. If my post deserve then i will get. I saw lots of people they are working on bounty platform from a huge time some people could be more than 2-3 years but they are still newbie in forum. Their post and activity is also a huge number it is almost 1k-2k+ but still new it should be they only post in bounty thread.

It is so unfortunate to see discussions like this about newbies, it's quite disheartening to realise that some newbies are only after making a quick earning on the forum rather than patiently on the waiting line to learn vividly all what Bitcoin discussions entails generally, am also a newbie and I don't have that kind of mentality, am not in an haste to make a quick cash, I believe slow and steady wins the race.

Thus, in a few years, perhaps 5-10 years, this forum will simply cease to be relevant, as newcomers to the forum does not appear, but the old members of the forum over time, too, leave us. I am very scared for the future of our forum!

More than just learning something new, Newbies are in a hurry to make quick money. and there is no doubt that most of the Newbies are doing too much spam in this forum.
