Bitcoin Forum

I opened this account in 2017.
Now, I just managed to remove the ban from being able to post (by sending litlle amount of btc not to the proper address)
My main question is : If I only respond to bounty posts online, Will I have any issue with my account?
I will be happy to get answers to this.
Thanks

Your account's creation date doesn't matter. What matters is why are you here? Do you want to spam all over the forum to make a quick buck or are you here to learn, talk and discuss things related to cryptocurrencies? Your intention is all that matters. I hope that answers your question.

First, it's not banned when you pay small amount, that is for copper membership, because when you registered in your IP before, there are some evil points or something like that connected or near with your IP.
But I think you are using other account, this account is not copper membership.

It won't matter, as long as you don't break some rules here in the forum, like plagiarizing, etc. You can do all whatever you want in your account.

Thanks so much for the responses.
Now i understand better and I know what to do.
I don't want to get into any problem, along the way.

Also, do note that some specific board have their own rules besides on official forum rules (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.msg7955645#msg7955645),  especially on Altcoin (Bounties), breaking such rules would result a ban to your account.

If it is your case, it means you paid small amount of BTC for the Copper membership (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2385104.0) as a fee for an evil IP.
You have not yet worn the Copper membership but you can decide to wear it or not. If you want to wear it, please follow the guide from theymos.
As the others pointed out, just don't break rules.

You will not get any issue for responding the bounty post but make sure your post is relevant and in the topic so that you will not encounter any issue since it might be reported to the staff if you post nonsense thing here.

And I wonder how you get banned by sending since actually there's no way it will happen to anyone since mostly the one who get banned here is copy paster and maybe what you mean paying is for those evil points which has been implemented before but I don't know if it still implemented right now.

Solely doing bounties here on Bitcointalk is definitely frowned upon by pretty much almost everyone hence you're most likely going to have trouble in joining reputable signature campaigns in the future(if you're planning to), but it's really not illegal here. As long as you don't spam and follow the rules as stated by others.

Not sure why you would want to do bounties(altcoin) in 2019 though.

I guess you are misleading him. Evil IP fee is for IP abusing which is common for peoole using TOR to register an account, or even in other IP as well. On the other hand. copper member is for bypassing some limitations on the newbie.
Evil IP fee can be more or less, for instance, it can be 0.0001 BTC. On the other hand, the current copper member fee is almost 0.003 BTC. How can one get copper member with paying Evil IP fee?

Just correcting you on something. That's not the case here, but evil fees also go to the Copper Member rank upgrade payment.

This means that if you pay 0.001 BTC in evil fees, the Copper Member will only cost you 0.00195526 BTC (the original price of 0.00295526 BTC minus 0.001 BTC). If your evil fees are equal or higher than 0.00295526 BTC, you will also get the Copper Membership in the proccess.

I had seen many people only posting bounty reports for months and years so I guess there is no problem if you are using your account for that.

But since the introduction of merit system, you need merits along with activity so you maybe stuck with newbie status forever unless you are buying or abusing merits which will get you red tag as well.

So decision is on yours, but don't post bounty reports on bounty threads if they never asked for that it is also can be a reason for an account to get banned.

Breaking all of these forum rules does not lead to a ban. AFAIK sharing malware and plagiarism are the main reasons that could get an account banned.
Breaking some of the other rules could mean your post/thread will be deleted/trashed.
Signature spam is a bannable(temporary for first offenses and then increase in duration till a permanent an is issued) offense, but the rule is barely enforced.

You should note also that newbie accounts (below 30 activity) can be nuked for a variety of reasons.

There's no issue if you are joining and posting different bounty threads as bounty hunters but as mentioned above you will probably be stuck in member rank (if you've purchased copper member rank), if not, you will remain newbie rank which is I think unable to join bounties. You can't contribute very well in the forum if you've focused only on joining bounties and that is the reason for struggling to rank up since there is a merit system introduced as a part of requirements in ranking up.

If I were you read and understand this very well, Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0) and next is this, List of useful Threads! (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5149708.0). I'm pretty sure this gives you a lot of information on how to find useful threads. Don't focus on earning bounties, yet you are not breaking the rules but your account look likes toxic member in the forum, did not share any informative nor contributing a good post.

This should be enough for your peace of mind;
a statement regarding bounty post from mprep (Global Moderator).

I Highlighted it for you, you can also click the quote for the full post:

...
Just make sure to check the bounty's OP if the author is kind of paying the participants to bump the ANN or bounty thread.

You should be able to in theory (boring and likely fruitless as it may be), but even if you try to abide by the forum rules, there are circumstances in which you follow what others do in the bounty, thinking that it is what you should be doing, only to find out that it may be on the verge, and having only a history of bounty reports may not help your case.

As an example, I was almost nuked back in my early days in 2018. I flirted with a (very) few bounties and such to see what all the fuss was about and, somehow, ended up being a proposed candidate for banning my account:


By the way, if you check the ETH I used back then, you'll see just how fruitless bounty/airdrops may turn out ...

You can do what ever you want provided you do not volate the rules . I think you want to participate in social bounties and submit reports using your account. Also if do only bounties you will hardly get any merits and will not be able to rank up.
Again it depends upon you , why you are here .

My question is when you can get more then why settling for less. Bounties are more or less fack and do not give output equivalent to the effort you give instead learn about the technology, industry, Coins, trading and many more things. If you can get skilled in all then why are you settling for one such topic which bearly gives you any output?

I heard stories that some people think that they got banned on the forum just because they had nothing but bounty reports.
I can not vouch for the veracity of these stories, because there is no violation of forum rules. Given that you have already thrown off the rules, try to stick to them and you will be okay.

Imo, you will probably be banned again.

You will probably join  airdrops and post "good project" in all Ann threads over there.then you will be posting those proof of authentication posts with your Twitter and so on.

Soon some mob will starting deleting your posts, or the whole thread. At some point you will join a scammy bounty or a bounty that is breaking all forum rules and you will get banned.

Why don't you try to use this forum like a person, and not like a bot? You will probably make even more money this way.

Or better yet, get a job or business that can actually help you learn and grow as a person, and something that will actually be worth your time regardless if you end up earning money or not; in contrast to just posting spammy links to multiple social media sites.  ::)

Joining bounties won't affect or having issues with your account. The only thing that will cause an issue to your account is violating bitcointalk forum's rules, only spamming and getting banned again. Account date creation doesn't have any relation with your account having an issue. When creating an account and won't be able to post then you will need to pay an amount to remove the restriction as mentioned.

Op is just one of those users who have registered accounts on the forum, just so they can earn here, guiding users like OP on the forum rules and about how not to violate forum rules would not make any difference, the moment they begin their hunt for "a living" on the forum, they definitely must break forum rules as they'll pay little or no attention to it.

Op you can lock the thread now and make sure you read the advices on this thread.

Forum was created for discussions means we can find information which may not be known yet.

I believes "Knowledge is wealth".

So one who understands that will use the forum to get knowledge and will implement them in their real-life to make real money not just few bucks from bounties.

Most of the time, the main reason why you're post gets banned is when you spam posts or make plenty of nonsense and low quality posts. It may also happen if you are way too far from the topic or when are replying things that is not related to the topic. That should already be a wake up call that everything that you do and post here is constructive and related to the topic so that you won't have a hard time recovering your banned account. Do not ever make the same mistake again and start learning from it to do well here in the forum.

Depends on how you use your account, if you restrict your posts in the forum to just the bounty sections without spamming, but reporting your weekly, I think your account would be ok, I can see lots of accounts in this forum doing the exact same thing for years and they have been fine, you're a newbie and I can see that you do not have to rank required for signature campaigns so I doubt that you would be doing any spamming in  the forum because of signatures, this is one of the problems this forum has with newbies.

In a nutshell, restrict your posting activities to bounty threads and avoid spam and trolling and you would be ok.

Change your mindset, if you get banned because you did something wrong then there's a possibility that it will be happen again. It will always depend on you, if you're just spamming threads and making a non-sense post then you're prone to be banned here 'cause forum don't need those kinds of users.

IMO, it's better to learn than focusing on bounties, when I just started, I feel the same way like the others who want to earn money easily but luckily I realized it early that knowledge is more important than getting easy money. This knowledge will be now my foundation to get more profit than normal beings.  ;)

My point is why would you use that account only for gardens There are many sides to the forum and there are many threads for bounty enthusiasts to discuss You can increase your rank by discussing the good and the negative Simply bouncing will scam it and you may lose your account This is why not just use it for the garden but also discuss the different sides.

Actually, that was not a ban. Your IP got blacklisted and luckily for you, you could afford the evil fee. Some people's evil are always much.
Back to your question, YES, you can use your account for bounties alone as other members already said but why not contribute your knowledge to this forum also and not see this place as a ground for making monies. There's more to this forum than bounties and signature campaigns.
