Bitcoin Forum

This site has become a non-stop barrage of signature campaigners. I know we can turn off the signatures but I keep them on just to see if the person who posted is just an idiot or they are a signature campaigner just posting to get their numbers up.

Never once have I clicked on any of the links. I literally held off from getting a debit card from one of the sites because they had a signature campaign so I figured it was likely a scam.

Have you ever clicked on someone's signature advertisement on here?

*prepares for a barrage of signature campaigners posting pointless crap in this thread*

yes when I see a new service or a new site often I click the signature, but it's a good reminder for good service or betting site ;)

Same here i also clicking it if the promotion is good or looks like new to my eyes..

Nope and yep, due to the amount of participants a signature campaign gains in its run time, running a campaign for more than a month or two is simple waste of money. Majority of individuals who are not in the know visit the site in the first week or so of the campaign starting.

Saying this from my own experience of running a sig camp.



Inb4 OP goes on and starts a(nother) rant about sig camp, they are here to stay mate

I hear ya. I almost wrote a whole new board where you had to verify that you actually own bitcoins to post. But it's easier to just go to reddit.

Yes but only because of missclicks.

I only click on genuine sigs ( no sig campaigns ).

Sheesh, where were you when I had a blog of mine on my sig for more than 2 months ? :S

yes, i did it once because he was giving free tips on sports betting, so i decided to join by clicked his signature link.

I think this should be fairly obvious.

Tens of different companies have spent hundreds, if not thousands of BTC on signature payments over several years. Several campaigns have lasted several months, and for the most part appear to close due to reasons other then ineffective advertising.

Companies would not throw this much money at an advertising method over such a long period of time if the advertising was not effective.

To answer on a personal level, I generally will not click on a sig ad, however I might research a company that I see in someone's signature.

Edit: lol, yes there have been a decent number of annoying signature spammers posting useless crap here.  (Maybe not "lol").

Yes, I have. A good many number of times.

Sometimes if I am going to visit a site and the link is on someone's sig on the page I am on, I will just check the url and click. :)


I came to know a lot of services just through the sigs. Ethereum, Waves, Steem etc. Just checked out Xaurum and Heat Ledger.  ;D

I just clicked when I saw some unique site and I'm just ignore gambling site.
The Company can't be too stupid to advertise on this forum for nothing , their site traffic may be increased so they keep launching sig campaign on this forum.
If they feel no increased on their traffic, they will not launch sig campaign and they all will vanish on the future

I do click on new sites just to see what they offer. And no I do not think that the sites are scam sites, you might not like what they are offering but that doesn't mean they will scam you.

Yes and No, yes I clicked a signature if its fresh or relatively new, but if its not like signature is same since day one, it doesnt lure me or I guess anyone to click the link anymore. Thats a tip to those who plan to come up with a signature campaign, change the sig style more often.

Voted for yes, if something of 'interesting' catch my sight I click it just because sometimes I'm curious to know more about that product or service.

No. Fuck no!

In fact, I auto-ignore anyone with sig spam (except for a select few). It does wonders for the signal to noise ratio.


Ugh, I'd rather read sig spam. LMAO.

More often than not, a signature goes un-clicked.  But oftentimes, a coin will truly gain my attention...sometimes that signature campaign does pay off (for the team & the user with said sig).

i only click a signature if it catch my attention, usually a gambling site with good details and designs on their signature will catch my eyes but most of the time i don't click it specially if there are ref link

This is not true. PD had longest running sig campaign here. Do u think they r scam?

Generally no! But, I visited most of the sites I saw in other people's signature including your bitpools.

You can have a look at the stats publicly of the links in mine, for example for the ASICMiner blade guide https://goo.gl/#analytics/goo.gl/hv6h93/all_time.

I may click on a signature link if I saw it attractive or it was new and I have never heard of the site. but old campaigns that are here for more than year, I already know these sites and tried some of them so why will I click on them ?

Nope. It has nothing to do with signature campaigns or whatever, but more with the fact that I never click on any links for security reasons.

When I see something interesting I simply use google to find the site or service in question, and from there I go further.

Same goes up with links to articles in the press section. I just go to the site and search for that article to read it instead of clicking on the links.

I don't know what PD is.

it's primedice. though their sig campaign ended around 2 years ago. only accepting staffs.

Yes, if It catches my attention and a new site or service that I haven't knew previously. I'll click it because of curiosity of knowing the site or what new in there.

Same thing here. Most of sites i visit are through that kind of ads, and forum ad also. But visiting the site doesn't mean i'll be interested in it

I click at most altcoin signatures because i want to know if it could be worth investing

You started a thread, asked a question and now you expect people won't respond or something? So here is my share of "pointless crap".

I only click signature links when I see new signature campaign of a new and unknown service. If I am already familiar with advertised site, I have no reason to check it out anymore.

Also from what I noticed Prime Dice is no longer accepting anyone in their signature campaign, staff or not.
If you see people with PD signatures they are most likely wear it for free, or to get additional point in their giveaways.

No, I disabled signatures a while ago.

Every person has different thinking. As I am an artist, designer, developer, programmer, webmaster and fascinated about cryptocurrency.

So I first of all see design. Then if feel to go there then visit that site, that's all.

But have got information on few of member signature about New coins and ICO.

Really...

There are also competitions for such campaign designs. We must appreciate it. Also it give revenue in form BTC for your activities. Its actually good facility.

Why r we criticizing it.

Yes, in the past I have occasionally clicked a link on a signature to find out more about the service or product. But that was a while ago. Lately I just ignore posters participating in signature campaigns because I don't have time to waste reading garbage or stuff that I already know that has been repeated 20 times.

rofl  :D

I have clicked links in signature campaigns a lot of times some some out of curiosity and others when I really got interested in product or service

Yes i have clicked many times on users`s signature, but I click if I see it interesting, if something is new and haven't seen before and I check where does it redirect me by hovering the mouse on the link.

Never. My policy on the internet is easy and strict. Don't click on links! No matter how trusted a certain person or site is, any link will be ignored and thus not be clicked on.

How do you surf the web?

nope. and probably never will. I use adblock for a reason :)

There are a couple members who I really trust who have signatures that I have clicked.
But yeah for the most part I google a site and then follow the link. Its just good security practice.
I do the same thing with emails. I never open anything in any email unless I speak to someone and they tell me they sent me a document etc.

These signature campaigns are not necessarily useless or waste of money, imoa they are already serving their purpose which is to spread awareness of services, for example it took me 1 month to only click on one for yobit and went there to register.
If the  program wasn't successful I mean campaigns in general then people would have never spend a penny on them.

Yes, I have. With trusted users who I interact with of course :)
