Bitcoin Forum

As many of you are aware, this forum is running rampant with spammers and bot who only post to make money. This creates a burden for everyone else on this forum. Although spam is looked down on, you don't even need a sig campaign to make money here. If your posts are of high quality people my tip you. The members of this board enjoy controversial well thought posts. If English is your mother's tongue you're  most likely to be labelled a scammer. Follow these tips to get paid with tips instead of signature campaign. Here's  how:

• DO NOT ASK FOR TIPS: this is sure fire way to get a negative trust rating.
  
• Tony1 (http://www.ebooklibrary.org/articles/user:tony1/how_to_satisfy_criterion_1a) a few years back wrote a comprehensive article dedicated to improving your prose. It would make your posts easier to read and is an can clearly get your points across
• Write tutorials for this website. This is more of a Bitcoin so sticking to Bitcoin related tutorial topics that are of high quality will eventually get you tipped
• Engage in controversial threads. Due to the emotion that is being put into the posts, there is a possibility that either someone agrees with you
• Read a few posts and skim through long topics until you have something clever to say, then make your post. Someone is bound to respond, and usually for me, I completely forget about my signature campaign; too busy debating other members on this forum

[/list
Many people will be less inclined to tip you if a signature campaign, if you post something that is of excellent quality, you may still be tipped. Remember Sig campaign = fewer tips.

I hope this forum will return to  the way it used to be before spammers took over...

It's quite hard to believe coming from someone in a sig campaign.
I've also never seen anyone send a tip here, maybe it happens but I'm almost certain it's not as profitable.

I'm a bit sceptical about this. I don't think this forum is the place to receive tips any more. You are probably much better of making high quality posts on reddit if you are in to posting for tips.

Also, with the rates of current sig campaigns, it is impossible to get even close to those amounts in tips. Most tipsters give 1 or 2 cents when sig campaigns can pay upwards of 20 cents per post.

I agree with you that it would be nice to reduce the spam and get the quality of the posts back up, but I'm not sure this will happen from tipping.

EDIT: To better show what I mean with the chance of getting tips: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1244332.0 this quality post did not receive any tips since November 11 2015.

You are yourself a part of signature campaign, so you first need to take the initiative by leaving it.
Secondly, it's not possible for anyone to get tipped here because people here beg more, spread less.

I don't think thats possible. Even without posting you can get into some freelance job that has been posted in the services section and earn bitcoins through it.

Exactly, how can we take what you say seriously if you yourself are still participating in a signature campaign.
Leave your current campaign and keep us updated with all the tips you receive, at the end of month we can analysis the difference.

How does the tip aspect work if someone does not have a link to their account?
The whole tipping idea is new to me since I never see anyone talk about it here.

Funny this should be brought up.  I actually tipped a guy about 2 months ago when he wrote me a very detailed tutorial on how to do a screen capture.  I didn't ask him to do it, he just did it and I found his wallet address under his profile and sent him something like $0.75 as a tip.  I haven't seen many people tipping around here though and any income from that is definitely less reliable than a sig campaign.

Might be a good idea to give some advantage to tipping,would encourage some of the smart folks to put some time into some good tutorials for us monkeys. Downside of that is it might be like wearing a bat beckon telling people you donate from time to time.
Really can not win in this world can you!

So link to addy in profile seems to be the only way as of yet,correct?

Meh I don't know. i guess this forum has goten so bad that nobody gives a shit anymore. I guess I was too optimistic. People can be quite greedy and stingy on this forum

Welcome to the other side of the fence,it may small like crap but at least you know where you stand.

Was a nice attempt but I think the divide between the haves and the have nots(bitcoin related) has grown. Or the people that felt more of it being about screw the man and building a community have been replaced by leaches and people that are strictly about the money profit.

Noticed a trend towards more people being cool about bitcoin being more regulated lately and it seems to be losing that edge of anti government and government free currency.

Or it could just be a off day,nice try.

it's a good advice but i don't think it will work because i don"t think that there are users on this forum who tips or even if they tips it won't be that much

Well as I shared, I'm not totally stingy but in order to give a stranger any amount of bitcoin they have to provide something in return.  I wouldn't send someone bitcoin just willy-nilly.  My opinion of 90% of the members here is that they're fucking assholes and there's not much worthy of tipping in my opinion.  So your suggestion of a tipping system in lieu of sig campaigns is a weak one.  It just ain't gonna happen--this isn't the dogecoin part of Reddit where it's a goddamn love fest.

I thought this topic will tell us about new method or something about Get money by posting WITHOUT signature campaigns. but it's only an information at all, and i don't think people will tip you for post constructive.

My tips are find something that you enjoy this is one the biggest key's.  Before money you must enjoy it, if you don't enjoy it then it's not worth doing.

Find either a service you can sell or something you can make BTC off of.  Services can take a lot of time to learn skills such as programming, web design, and tons of other things but long term you can make a lot off of it if you are good.  Mine is mining I love mining and enjoy it.  So I mine to gain more BTC.

I feel signature campaigns should be a bonus, not sole source of income.

Just asking, did you make this post for getting tips from people around? lol
Lets get to the point, it is just like someone inside the water saying that water is not good for health. You are having a signature in your account and saying that signatures should not be there because they are the cause of spam, signature campaigns are not made for just giving away money to people, these campaigns are a source for advertising for website owners, they are getting promoted everyday just because of those campaigns, and by the way, what is the guarantee that if there are no sig campaigns there won't be spamming on the forum? what if every single user in the forum start collecting tutorials from other sites and start posting them here for getting tips? won't that be a kind of spam again?

Everyone here is busy with their own posts and increasing their income, so who will tip anyone.. In vade if soneone wrote a good tutorial, may be someone will hive a tip, but withoit signature campaign, there would be no income, waiting to get tips won't be a solution to earn...

Exactly, there can be hardly someone now a days that will tip someone for writing something good, if someone will write a tutorial people will start posting there as well for their signature campaigns and post count, so it has to be done as it is being done.

Tips/donation won't be a good alternative to the income people/ we get from signature campaigns so I don't it will work at all. Tips will come occasionally and there are no guarantees at all while posting with signature campaigns guarantee you a payment for every post you make, a lot people here nowadays just came to earn money easily so they will still prefer sig campaigns. This forum won't came back the way it used to be before unless sig campaigns will be completely gone. Just go with the flow :D

so who is paying you? who is tipping you? if there is a contract with an outside manager that need an exposure here, it's pretty much the same as signature, but we need to know the rate because if it is lower, i'm not interested

Ya it is true if OP wants to stick to this message then first  you have to  leave the signature campaign and start to earn like what you said and give the proof of what you said.

agree with you that here people are more beggers then giving tip for something good topic.

English with a capital "E" is the language of the English, most of the posts here seem to be in American. Why do you feel that someone whose mother tongue is English is likely to be a scammer?

People get paid by companies to promote them. So the people who wear a signature campaign are doing something back for the advertising parties. People who get a tip did a task or give a answer someone see as really useful. With or without signature both can do this. I think this forum is partly based on promote services and people who need info or help.

Exactly, english is spoken mostly in every place just because most people can speak and understand english, it really has no point that the people who speak english are spammers over here.

It looks like most people on here have signature campaigns.  I doubt that many people get good donations.

I never heard that someone give a tip for a high quality post. Maybe from other DT here in our forum they made a thread with wallet address for donations or tip. but i don't really know if it work's. For me honestly joining in signature campaign is just my hobby it is fun to have some few bitcoin and use it to play in any gambling to try my luck and to have some fun..

Same here, i also love to posting on this forum. because i always find a new information about something here. and get paid for posting here like bonus for me.

And ofcourse, tip is not a permanent source of income...It may come someday but most days No Tips.

I'm a newbie, but not all are here just for money. I'm here to learn more about bitcoins and to read bitcoin site reviews. If I want BTC, I could just do freelance work that pays BTC. Easier than signature campaighn and tips.

I have actually seen people getting tipped by Legendary members as the users make posts about ways of earning bitcoins, a detailed bitcoin article, steps to open a wallet and so on. I also thought of making a bitcoin blog or write articles based on bitcoins (although I do have an article on bitcoins) but I don't know whether I'll be able to write new articles based on bitcoins news and other topics related to bitcoins in order to get tipped. May be I can try that later as the members here are always helpful and they appreciate the effort put in by other members.

I doubt you will ever receive much as signature can achieve for you.
You can post here and on twiter as i did and never get any tip belive me..

 ;)
Maybe better solution is pay per week or per month no matter how many posts you made
and menagers must be responsable for spam with their sig.
And if your posts are good you can get bonuses..

Ofcourse none of us joined this forum for earning bitcoins by signature campaigns, when i joined this forum i even didn't know what signature campaigns are, but with the time moving i came to know that signature campaigns are a chance to earn free bitcoins for being active on the forum and helping people or being a part of discussions, and i don't think someone will want to leave a opportunity for earning something for just that, and it needs skills to be a freelancer so maybe people like me can't do that so we will be using opportunities like sig campaigns for earning some bits.

People are here to earn money, not to give them away.

They will just leech you and give nothing in return

Lol you are right. Almost most of the people on this forum are earning money from signature campaigns or other services, if they come here for earning money then how will they give them away for just posts as tip? I don't think that is gonna happen much now a days.

To me, signature campaigns are just encouragement to be an active poster and help out the community. The cash stipend side of it is a great thing, but just posting has a big impact on me. Yes, I do have negative trust, bt its not that that matters, its what you do for other people that counts. If people would stop spamming, then we could go back to a system of occasional tips for good posts like OP said.

Would you be going around sending money to everyone? Nobody's stopping you to go on the street and give out money to people.  This forum has, somewhat, a business. I've gave out my btc just once and that was for some charity, I don't remember, but other than than, never. As you said, I am here to make some money not give it away.

Tipping would be great if there was an implemented wallet on this website and you could tip someone just by clicking a button the the side of their post or on their profile, enter a sum and away it goes. That's kinda my view of it, because I don't believe someone would bother to opena up their wallet if they don't have an online wallet ready.

There are few options to earn without posting in signature campaigns. One of the best method without signature campaign is faucets as well as earning through referrals.

Faucets are mostly a waste of time, they needs a lot of time and gives you very little amount of satoshi, though you can earn a good piece if you have a bunch of referrals, but without referrals it's just not worth it i think.

Yes this is true! But do you remember those days and faucet from 2010.year.
Maybe one day this faucet amount will not be ..

Yeah, as the bitcoin price goes high, faucet rewards goes down, if now btc price is $450 so a faucet gives 1500 satoshi reward, but when btc price will go up to $800 then that faucet will give just 600-800 satoshi accordingly.

earning money without signature is possible with faucets. go to faucet list, claim your free rewards every claim you get some satoshi for free,

Tipping is impossible in this forum, maybe on youtube and redit but not here. Better go with sigs.

It's rare, but not impossible. I've seen some pretty substantial tips from some very good posts or threads. It's not a good way to get rich, but if you do good work, yeah, you will get tipped someday. It could be a penny or a whole bitcoin or two, only time can tell.

I haven't found any really good faucets.  They only give out very small amounts and it isn't worth the time.  Does anyone have a suggestion on one that is really good?

Man, just leave and forget about faucets. It's really wasted your time and energy. Better you join signature campaign here on service section. You can get more paid than faucets.

Well said mate, I was addicted collecting coins with all available faucet finding out that the value of it not more than a penny a day.  I almost spent 8-12 hours doing faucet and pay to click nothing happened to me, thankfully found out this forum, now atleast I'm getting real coins from yobit,.

Firstly, your post is off topic, this thread is not related to faucets at all.
Secondly, stop wasting your time by running behind those faucets, they can just waste your time and in return you will get nothing but a few satoshi a week. Try to find some other way for earning bitcoins, like sig campaigns, using your skills or selling goods.

why dont know even after coming to this forum and knowing about earning through signature campaign, but still some of them are promoting faucets which is clearly waste of time , ya if you have a very good referrals then it is worth you can try with lot of faucets that is where you can earn a lot with referrals if not its just waste of time.

Here you can join a good signature campaign and start earning pay per post or fixed or use your skill to earn or start selling goods .

I don't think that tipping could be real source of income from this forum, instead signature campaigns. getting tips isn't guaranteed , and the tips amounts aren't exacts as the signature campaigns rewards, so it's not profitable idea in my opinion

Maybe tipping someone/or receiving a tip is an additional bonus here.This is a good way to promote active participation among members of this forum and as possible to have a constructive/quality posts.

Still, joining a signature campaign is still a better opportunity here.

Exactly, giving tips or being tipped by someone cannot do the thing that sig campaigns are doing recently, many people out there are earning a lot of bitcoin by sig campaigns and they deserve it because they are serving their time to this forum and helping out everyone on every single thread.

Just like real life, you can promote everything you have, such like skill coding, designing skill, engraving coin ,etc
If you have a great presentation , people will surely contact you anytime.

Not just skill, you can also promote your sales by using bitcoin as payment method. You start selling such like selling gems , wood , gadget , etc
Ofcourse bitcoin offering more advantage for fast payment and lowest fee compare using local currency

I still don't understand why people waste their time with faucets. You make no money. They're difficult to bot and the pay is next to nothing.

Its either naivety or desperation. Some are still into faucets because of their innocence and for being noob in bitcoin, as a newbie that look for ways to earn bitcoins online, I admit I become addicted to faucets but as time goes by I realized that I am and I've just wasted my time claiming satoshis. There are also some people that is so desperate to earn money online, I know a few in my circle of friends on facebook, they are unemployed and so eager to earn money, that they even use faucets just to have money. They say it was better than nothing :D

Well, rarely a open source project can sustain itself with donations. Its even harder to get ANY donation for good posts. I given good advices in hundreds of posts, never got any tip for it. Not that im expecting it, but your idea won't work :/

Some people are just happy to have the feeling of having some bitcoin. Who knows? Maybe someday bitcoin'll be worth tons and your friends will have a few dollars just from faucets. It's a waste of time for the most part though, that I agree with.

it's free, it also needs hard work and long time. if I were you, I will do another way if it's possible because I did this way before and I got a little amount of bitcoin  ;D

You know, people say a lot of things about sig campaigns and spamming.  I have a sig campaign and do not think about it much.  I do not get on here every day and I do not log on, drop 20 posts and bail.  I came to the forum to take part and ran into the campaigns and started using one. 

I know that the campaign could disappear if many of my posts appear to be absolute BS, but that is not the case.  I come here to talk and to take part, no matter what the cost or payment. However, if someone tells me that I can make a little change on the side for the conversations I have, great.  I do not pay attention to the categories or sections where I post.  I read through and take part in what I consider to be a good conversation or where I have input.  If I feel, and I rarely do, lol, that "Great Job" is something that needs to be said, I will post it, whether it is short or not.

Sig campaigns are great for both parties.  The website or business gets exposure and the users get a little coin.  For some, this might be the only route they have to generate those first few Satoshi.  I think of that as a gateway to Bitcoins for them and a way for them to take part in the next wave of currency for the world.  If someone is spamming, whether it be for a campaign or just to be assholes, the forum will take care of them and then the campaign is gone for that person, IP address and all.

What forum is this topic reffering to?

I quitely dont get it. Some of the sentence are  not in good grammar.

not a forum, there are simply some "manager" here that pay you by simply posting without wearing any sig, but you need to promote some of their site/stuff, basically at this point anyone can be accused for spamming no sense....

it's all done privately, i dunno about the payment but i doubt it's better than a regular campaign

It's up to the campaign manager to take out those wearing their signature link that are spamming this forum,all signature campaign don't want their campaigner to spam this forum and about tipping it's very unlikely nowadays they rather give you trust rating than tip you..

Right. And the action is in process i guess. I have read in a thread where the owner of a campaign had given negative trust to the campaign manager for not taking any action against the users from their campaign who are spamming and being paid for poor quality posts, he told him that if he finds and ban those spammers after that he will remove that negative trust from his account.
I think all managers should do this, they should keep an eye on every user and if they find someone spamming then they should ban them from their campaign and also should report it to forum admin and let him take some action against it as well.

Maybe good way to earn some money is on monthly basis by posting in specific topic created for commercials were other members won't be offended by spamming.
Topic - Commercials
And by your activity in those topics you earn some btcs..

Get back to be when you gain more experience on this forum. Also, learn to spell.

Without posting, if you need to earn bitcoins you need to be a much attached to the bitcoin forum and gain experience.
With that you may get some job profile in the bitcoin forum. Here also at times posting has to be done.

Why don't you try that out yourself? I wouldn't call bitcointalk a particularly "giving" forum, compared to others.

At least youre following your own rule of "make forum tutroials"

Bemoaning people having signature campaigns and not giving tips when you have a signature campaign yourself - highly ironic.

I haven't been here long but I've tipped someone who made me laugh with one of their posts. It wasn't a lot, something like 0.00015 BTC but they appreciated the gesture.

I think having so many people in signature campaigns actually devalues the brand/site they are trying to promote as you know people are just wearing the signature to get money rather than it being something they actually believe in. That's why my signature is a link to a site that I actually believe in as I have earn't quite a lot from personally. I might not get as much as I would in a sig campaign (I've had no referrals so far lol) but I believe we as a community should be about helping eachother and bitcoin grow to make it a viable option to the fiat world - it's shouldn't be about how much you can earn and how much you can scam from other users.

you are right. saying other is very easy. but doint that yourself is hard..

It HAPPENS but really not often.
You gotta work really hard like Luptin and Mexxer for example who are taking care of listing all the alts they can fins on the forum.

But tips are not easy to come by! It's not reddit :p

I never experience that you can make money without signature campaign by posting.. But i experience free bitcoin received from anonymous didn't know who is him. And i don't know why he given me.. But i think its a kind of tip or donation..
So i think even you have a signature or not you will still receive a tip or donations from other members here in our forum..

I would not consider tutorials as money makers.  I have done MANY hands on and reviews of bitcoin miners/bitcoin wallets/ etc.  You will notice I link directly to sales site's no hidden referral links.

I make zero if 0 or thousands buy what I post about.  I do it as I enjoy it.   So I would not lump in tutorials as making money off of it.  Some do and you normally can tell by sales link just look if it is referral or not.
