Please I need a little help, this is my only way to raise funds so we may be able to repair our house that was damaged by super typhoon Odette or maybe use the raised fund to buy solar panel so I can continue to work online for my family's source of income. As we still don't have electricity right now. Anyways, I am from part of the Visayas Philippines.

You may find it hard to see an offer. Try to make your account comply to campaign managers' requirement like having more than 5 merits in the last 120 days, having more quality posts will make you have more and increase you the chance of being accepted in a campaign. Visit services often and enable its notification, also enable the notifications of the already existing campaigns of your choice so if other members are needed, you can apply once you see 'open for new participants. Just an advice'.

Yes, as Charles-Tim says it is better to try to join a signature campaign. The problem with what you say is that we have no way to check it, and in the forum there are always people with sobbing stories asking for money/favors/employment.

On the other hand, for someone to hire you to wear the avatar and the signature you should show activity on the forum and that you are able to earn merits. So it's the other way around, just write a few posts every day, try to make quality ones, so you will earn merits and then you will be hired in one of the many signature campaigns.

You can do this!

There's a lot of signature campaign that has a Senior Member slot. You should do some effort to find and join campaign in proper way. The government is giving assistance for all the victims of the typhoon so don't make the catastrophe an entry ticket to find a campaign. Improve your post quality and join so that you will not have any problem to join again in other campaign in the future.

There's a lot of foundation giving assistance to the victim. You should go there instead for asking campaign here to be fair to other user that working hard just to be accepted on campaign.

I just checked OP's post history to find out why they couldn't get into any campaigns, seeing there are many open campaigns this day. I discovered OP lacked earned merits as requirement for selection. I've reviewed some of their posts and did the needful by meriting two. I hope that gets them into a campaign so they can help out with family. Anything that involves family in need easily gets my attention. I know how it hurts not being able to help dependants. Good luck OP.

Thank you so much for your heartily given advices and suggestion mates I appreciate that a lot. This is actually not an excuse for me to join any campaigns just to get funds for my situation sorry for that. I don't beg for free money instead I exchange it for a service if ever I am qualified.

To be honest this is my only way and I want to do it in a good and fair way. Unfortunately it's not that easy as we all know that everything has rules especially here in the forum. But yeah I'll try my very best to comply, I know we all love our family and we are willing to do everything just for them and it's not an issue for me.

We have a charity managed by cabalism13, maybe you can ask for help if they still have funds.

I  know the damage brought by this typhoon but I also understand that the community would not easily give donations to someone especially now that the charity of cabalism13 is in question. I agree with the suggestion of other members here, try working in the signature campaign, all you need is to be more active and make valuable pots, merit is not a problem if you put an effort of your work.

For now, just rely on the local donations, I'm sure there is help coming from Local Government Units in your area.

it is not a shame to participate in a signature campaign. Also, what you will do with your earned funds is just on you, we don't need to care or even to know. However, you sound like to beg for money, as if you expect someone because of compassion to rent your signature space.
you tried with this topic and that's it? If you really need urgent money, why don't you try harder?
I guess you can follow this thread and be informed when any campaign has a free slot. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=615953.0

Aside from doing signature campaigns, your only option is to participate on a monthly art challenge organized by casinos in the crypto space similar to this one^[1] that was previously held a week ago.

Or, you could just wait for another campaign that is new who needs 10 or more signature campaign participants.

As far as I know they are facing an issue (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5376475.0)?

It truly hurts when we weren't able to fulfill the needs of the dependents. From the days of pandemic everyone are struggling to uplift themselves through some means. By the time facing a hard storm and surviving out of the storm is god's grace. For your immediate need signature campaign is the only solution. If you have got time, then you can follow some airdrops which gives big earning if lucky. For now requesting donations were also not allowed. From the merits OP have got, it looks like he's active in the forum. Hope you'll get a slot in any of the campaign.

If you found this topic a beg for money scheme I am so sorry for that but my true intention is to provide my family extra cash or maybe we can buy generator/solar panel but yeah it is too hard, now I know that even if I can get in a campaign it will be too hard for me to fulfill the job well done for we still don't have electricity until now and it is still raining here that is why I am having a hard time to post a reply and also our signal is not that good as of the moment. About the local donations in my area we only receive  one box of relief goods from the government and still waiting for the rumored cash assistance. Prices of goods are now to the moon I do not know why there is no price control by local government. Once again, I am so so sorry this is never meant to be a beg for money post or offer, as this is the only way I think I can raise fund through service right now but still doesn't work due to limited power supply and signal. I don't know what to do right now I am so sorry... I am able to post this reply because I charged my phone and we need to pay 10 pesos every charge.

No one has suggested that you violate the forum rules, as other members also sell their avatars, signatures, or personal text. But as others have said, you would rather get a place in a signature campaign than have someone offer you a personalized campaign - so listen to the advice of others and try to apply for a campaign. Lack of electricity could be a problem for you, but if you don't try, you will certainly not be able to earn anything.

Can you tell me how much it would cost to get a solar panel or generator?

I feel you mate, maybe there's nothing you can do is wait for the cash assistant from our government (which is rumored it's 50k Php), that's a big help on us who was affected by this calamity.  There's a free charging station in my place and it might also be in your place, they used solar panels and generators to charge gadgets.  One of my friends tried to make an electric power source, electric motors using an electric fan through the wind maybe you can try this if you know how to set up.

How I wish that I could help you even in a small amount but we're in the same situation, maybe we just wait when there's a cash assistant and not here which is sounds like begging money.  All I prayed is we can survive this situation and fully recover soon.

I've checked your post and you are a good poster why not try applying on some of the campaigns here, you have a good chance to be included if you are asking more about what these campaigns are offering it will take time before you can get one, some projects here pays up to $100 a week a 4-week campaign is enough to buy you a good solar panel, but don't rely on everything here, government help is coming I read it on the news, I wish you luck and may you and your family overcome these difficulties.

Some of you guys are quite harsh. Having an opinion like someone is somewhat using your empathy for their advantage might be fine but speaking it out is like accusing. And OP is doing nothing damaging. Is it like you guys are feeling threatend for his effort to join campaigns? I must say you guys are brutal and well,.. suck. Sry for that word but have to say it.

It would be nice not to speak in general, but to state who exactly do you mean - and I don't think anyone has crossed the line that could offend the OP.


You got it wrong, no one feels threatened by anything, we just advise the OP to try to apply to any signature campaign instead of waiting for someone to rent his signature. I don't know how you concluded that someone was brutal in their answer?

I even asked how much money he needed to buy a generator, maybe I or someone else would consider donating that amount.

Some comments appears to be lacking in empathy because they probably haven't seen the aftermath of the typhoon which left many people dead and properties destroyed. I wouldn't say they're too harsh though.

@0t3p0t, I doubt you'll get offers from this due to the fact that you can't post often. Try to ask for a small loan in our local board and maybe we could pitch in small amounts to help you. Some of us might not ask for any interest.

maybe a typhoon isn’t the worst thing that can happen to someone. we do not know what torment the other members are suffering here. If someone doesn't ask for help, doesn't mean he doesn't need it. I saw some members also offering his signature for rent, but without causing empathy, although they may desperately need money to survive. and even they are much more ^{than OP} active here, they very rarely get a custom campaign.

I'm just of the opinion that he should know what can expect from here or not, rather than "I'm sorry for you, I sympathize with you, I would help you but ..." it will not bring him a roof, electricity or food on the table.

Hello sir, yeah you're right signature campaign is the only way for me to earn right now but the lack of electricity and weak network coverage could be a problem to me and I could posiibly be kicked out from the campaign.

About the cost of the power generator or solar panel if we buy it here in the province price get doubled as demand rise. Diesel powered generator set is good but much more expensive than gasoline ones though diesel powered is fuel efficient. Solar is also expensive depending on wattage not sure about the prices but I'm sure it is much cheaper in Manila than in the typhoon hit areas.

Yeah mate, we already got 1kphp/$20 cash assistance but all spent and is not enough as construction materials costs were high plus the cost of lumber cutting. There is also a free charging station in my area but a little bit far and you can get a chance that your charger, extention wire or devices may get lost. Yeah, I am also trying to make a free energy generator just by using fan but is unsuccessful maybe because of the rusty fan motor or maybe the coil is defective.

Yeah if only signal is up and has power I can really apply on signature campaigns as kind hearted people here are helping me with enough merits but sad to say I had to wait for the restoration. About the rumored cash assistance from the government I don't know when it will be released and rumors said 30k php/$600 for those totally damaged houses and 5k-10k php/$100-$200 for those who has partially damaged houses. That money is a big help to us but yeah still not enough compared to the damage left. Our agricultural land now a mess, some of our native chicken got killed though we're lucky enough we are safe. Up until now I really don't know what to do. I even tried spearfishing at night for food just to have an alternative with the relief goods but as a sickly person it's not gonna work for me that is why I work online.

Thanks mate, actually my problem right now is the network coverage/signal for my data/internet connection plus the power outage. That make's me having a hard time posting here and might get me kicked out from campaigns due to unstable and inconsistent work.

---

Thanks for your concern mate, I am all good no worries, I am open to all suggestions, constructive criticisms, advices and many more with no problem.

---

Yeah, I just don't know what to do mate that is why i posted something like this. I am also not into loans mate it will only gave me headaches or stress even in real life I tried to stay away from it.

Thank you for your advice and suggestions mate appreciate it.

[moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]

sorry to ask this but since you are trying to rant your Signature , Why not instead apply in signature campaign? there are Plenty of newly opened now that will surely accept  you in one of those instead of waiting for someone to contact you.

Hope you'll find one because as you say, there is a need of funds and having 50-60 dollars per week is a big help as you are already a senior account.

Actually I am trying to find good network coverage here in my area mate because both electricity and signal is limited right now that is why I often post replies. But yeah I'll try my best to get in a campaign right now because to be honest I only got $10 left on my pocket.

You have some merit now from forum members I think it will be enough to get you enrolled in one of the btc paying campaigns based on the 5 merit requirement but there is another requirement for most of these campaigns, they also require posts in the gambling section, if you are not familiar with that section and not an active member there it will be a long shot, but there is no harm in trying. Goodluck buddy.

Thank you for your advice mate appreciate it. Actually, I am currently applying and hoping to get a slot by one of those open signature campaigns in the service section.
