Bitcoin Forum

I am new to this forum. I don't know exactly what I'm running after. I am slowly learning how to work on it. But there is not much clear idea about how to work here. I think more time should be given. Can you help me in any way?

First of all welcome to the forum.
And second is you must go through all the boards which has made for separate purposes. If you see on the home page so you will see a board which name is Beginners & Help (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=39.0) so you should go there and if you have any problem so you can ask there.
And you are new so you should read this thread (Newbies - Read before posting) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.0).
And if you will start without any knowledge so you may face some problems or even you will be ban permanently so first learn. When you learn then you can start posting. I hope you understand which I said.

This thread should be moved to Beginners & Help Board.

Seems like you’ve finally figured out that you’ve been wasting your time in the bounty section and that they are lots of information you’re missing out on… but now that you’ve asked let’s start from the basics.

Here’s the rules of the forum (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0) you don’t actually need anyone to explain it to you, just take your time and go through it you’ll be able to understand different sections of the forum, type of posts that are accepted in that board, and also make you realise what you’re supposed to avoid to prevent you from getting banned.

Some other threads that I think you should read

• Read before posting (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.0)
• Everything you need to know about forum 'activity, account ranks and merit  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2766177.0)

You should navigate round the forum and see if anything piques your interest.

Herein lies the question. The user is not so new, although he is still a newbie and has spent a month since he registered applying in the bounties section, probably without success and now he is looking for opportunities in the best section of the forum. It is almost better for him that he has not been caught in any bounty, because in many of them he would have worked for almost nothing. In this section he could do better but if he is patient.

1. What are you here for in the first place?
2. What "work"? Can you be more specific?
3. What "help" do you actually need?

More time be given? This place is not a school where you obligated to learn or do anything within a certain timeframe. There must be a way you come across this forum in the first place and for you to claim you don’t know exactly what you are running after is ridiculous, so you mean you have been here for about a month running around aimlessly but you registered into a bounty campaign on your first day of registration and have participated in some bounty ever since. It is clear your intent was to participate in bounties from onset so you understood exactly what you were running after OP.

If you are unsure about your purpose here then you need to sit yourself down and give it another thought and then maybe when you have come to a conclusion then you can come out to ask for help.

42 days are enough to give a general impression of the forum. You need to avoid fraud, plagiarism, publishing using AI, trolling, and not be shy about any question, even if it is simple. However, you must at least conduct a Google search before asking because most of the questions come to your mind. It's on the forum and a simple Google search will teach you 90% of the things you need to learn.

The OP definitely became a member of the forum because someone told him that he could work here, and when you do something and don't earn anything, it's quite logical to ask yourself "what exactly am I doing here?"

In cases like this, any help is welcome, but I wonder if the OP can even understand the concept of a forum as a place for discussion and exchange of ideas and opinions with the additional possibility of earning something along the way. He is not the first nor the last to fall into this kind of trap and he can definitely get out of it if he wants to - he just needs to understand that he should not waste time on things where he will not learn anything, let alone earn.

All this under the assumption that this is not another in a series of alt accounts that asks a question, and then gives answers to itself in the hope that it will collect some merits.

Bounty campaigns are over here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=238.0

It is probably the place the people who told you about "work" here were directing you to.

Although if you are asking for help related for bounty advice, this is not the correct board to do it since we don't browse that section of the board. You should look in Altcoin Discussion instead.

@NotATether, he knows well about the altcoins board, and that's not the reason why he asked his question here - I think I explained quite well what his problem was in my previous post.

This is not a work station, try to understand and know this fact, this is bitcointalk, where all matters that concerns bitcoin were officially announced or discussed here, this is a learning ground, that you can choose to stay and experience the kind of growth you wanted with your adoption of bitcoin as a financial means of making payments, your being here also may have other opportunities it can served to you because you can connect to others around the world, discuss and share ideas and do many other benefits this forum may server you.

So why are you in this forum in the first place? If you have no reason for this then you are better off moving away from this forum, if you have a reason for been here and you already know how to create a topic I don't think there is much to learn, you can start telling us what brings you on here.

Must be crypto related reason, maybe you are trying to learn something? Share your reason why you are here in the first place, people don't just get stranded on here without a reason, even if you mistakenly come across the forum you still have to create an account before you can create topic.

The work part means someone told you that you can promote projects and make money, but it's not that straight up, you have to get to the level before you can start promoting projects, and sorry to say, some are not even worth your time, you are welcome to the forum though, relax and read the rules and regulation of this forum.

OP, your purpose of being here should be your utmost concern, with the little knowledge I have here, everyone here has a goal that they are chasing, some people have achieved their own while others are still in the race, what you need here is to learn and abide by the rules of this forum, set your goal and go after it, but first of all there are so many things to learn here in this forum apart from bitcoin and alternative cryptocurrency you can learn how to interact with people in real life and also accommodating constructive criticism and making it a learning means, there are many board here that you may like so read through and feel free to ask a question if the need arise, I hope to see you at the top soon.

This forum is a place for discussions about Bitcoin and there is also an altcoin board. Maybe as @NotATether said, the job you mean is bounties. Ask what you should do to the person who motivated you to register an account.

You have made 42 posts in the bounties section since your account was registered on October 27 and your first post was PROOF OF REGISTRATION (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5470794.msg63063698#msg63063698).
Or it wouldn't be wrong if we asked you why you are here.
By the way, if you feel that this topic is considered useless, under your computer or laptop screen there is a menu that says lock topic. Just press that instead of deleting it. https://talkimg.com/images/2023/11/28/NQ1qd.png

This is where it all lies... Majority are being referred to this forum without proper information, explanation and guidance. Most a time, a bounty participant introduced them to the forum and are here with the believe that they are here to work. It's obvious you can not give what you don't have; most of these bounty participants don't know any other thing in this forum other than bounty participation. You know bounty is not always available and that might be the reason why the newbies feel stranded sometimes especially if they joined the forum when bounty are scarce.

You are more likely to be right than wrong :). Look at this!

Does this sound like a newbie? Another “fictional” manager who doesn’t know how to start getting some pennies as soon as possible?

OP, your local board, which never got around to the pumpkin carving competition, will now be able to explain to you what and how to do correctly and what not to do. Creating topics “about nothing” also does not force us to form an opinion about you as a person striving for knowledge.

This forum is like any other forum but mainly for cryptocurrency, you will not get any details or information about any other field like cars, medicine, weapons, etc. etc. they have different forums, and this forum Bitcointalk as the name suggested was made for BTC first as it was named as Bitcoin.org at first and then rebranded to BTT. Which I think was a good step, anyway, if you are new here then you might find it difficult to settle for some time.

I will say, don't get confused, try to surf as much as you can explore new sections, and read the rules which are pinned by the moderators on top so they can't be ignored and after reading those rules try to read other's posts before making your but I can assume you already have the knowledge of how things generally go like if you need help make a topic in help section which you did here very well, so from this post of yours I can say you will learn things very quickly just spend some time here. And if you are trying to find work here then you should have some skill first if you haven't any then you can join bounties, signatures (which need proper requirements like ranks and merits, etc.), and review campaigns, etc.

I checked your profile after reading some posts and it looks like you are here to make some money and if that's the case then there is no shame in doing that even the administrators of this forum admire that. But you have to be real and should not promote or support fake or scam platforms or websites. On observing your posts I can say you are not new and you know this forum's rules very well.

For a moment let's agree that you are new but you are learning so fast which raised concerns I am not trying to accuse you of someone pretending to be a newbie here, it's just you learned so many things in less time. I think if you go at this pace then you can find something to earn.

If you have some special kind of skills that you think can be of some use to others on this forum then you can create your service topic in the service section, or you can rank to join the signature or Review campaigns. At the current moment you can take part in prize prediction contests, and other than this there are Avatar contests also organized. You can earn good money from them.

when you say "how to work here" I assume your goal is to be able to join a signature campaign, right? if it is, how about start joining discussions or reading them? From what I see on your post history, your main focus is joining bounty campaigns. if you have skills that can offer, you can open a service here on the forum where you offer your skills and get paid in Bitcoin, I've seen forum members do this and get paid in Bitcoin for their work.

He's lucky he finally realized this early that doing bounty in the altcoin section is not profitable anymore, totally waste of time, you seldom see a good project to promote it's totally a waste of time, I have seen other bounty hunters doing this for over years and they remained newbies until, not taking the time to navigate on other sections of this forum, and participate on the discussion.
Anyway, it's good that you changed your direction just remain on this section until you've learned a lot about the basic rules and some tips on how to be a good forum member I'm sure you will discover a lot of great things, that you missed when you are just active in one section of this forum.

Did you join the forum to work? How did you know you could work on the forum here? Or did anyone tell you there was work here? You can meet the person who told you there is work here to guide you on how to work. And I don’t really know what kind of work you are looking for. If you want to participate in signature, you will have to rank up your account first, but from your post, I think it will be kind of difficult for you to rank up your account.

If you can’t make any impact or contribution to the forum, then you can’t rank your forum account up. But if you have any skills, then you can go to the service board and create threads about the service you are offering, or you can also participate in bounty campaigns, which is just a waste of time.


Which way do you want us to help you? You have to be specific about anything you want, you can’t just visit the forum and ask forum members to help you, at least you will say what you really want and how you want the forum members to help you.

OP, no one will look at your account if you are just a bounty participant, because what you are most concerned about is promoting some altcoins project. There is no really good contribution to the forum that should let anyone look at your post, but should you want to make yourself more relevant in the community, you can avoid visiting the bounty section and focus on other serious discussion boards like the economic, Bitcoin discussion, meta, dev, and tech boards, which will help you learn more about Bitcoin and the community and can also teach you how you can contribute to the community with any idea that others might learn from. If you are persistent and contribute positively, you could earn some merit that makes you rank up and join a signature campaign where you get paid some incentives, but my simple advice to you is to be very open to learning and not only about earning.

On the contrary, you have already known what exactly you're "running after" on the very day you signed up on this forum. Apparently, you were looking for a way to earn. I don't know how it has been for you so far, but it must not be that great. Joining bounties doesn't make you earn much. What you get oftentimes is a few dollars, and sometimes even nothing. This was at least my experience.

While you can indeed earn here, it often requires a high rank, a good track record, and so on. Accomplish these first, if I were you. If you won't or you can't and you badly need to earn, you better look for job sites or develop your skills rather than do bounties. Most of the time, they aren't worth it.

Determine your goals for joining here, then grow the motivation within yourself to pursue your goals. At first it was a little confusing, the same feeling was also experienced by the seniors who had previously joined here. Other users have directed you to several useful topics. Read all these topics to increase your insight. Never be embarrassed to ask questions and engage in discussions with seniors, they will help and guide you to become a better user than before.

You're welcome to the forum, but I have a question for you: are you interested in learning about cryptocurrencies or are you just trying to make money? You sound as though you're eager to learn everything, including how to make money on the forum, so if you're here to do that, I doubt you'll grasp things as thoroughly as you should. This is the best place to learn everything there is to know about the forum. This is the beginner and help thread, where you can ask questions about anything you don't understand. However, before you can ask, you must be aware of a few rules. If you follow the rules, I think you'll learn a lot quickly and find the answers to some questions on your own without needing to ask.

Before engaging in any cryptocurrency-related activities or joining a forum campaign, there are a lot of things you should know. First, you should read and comprehend a post before responding. Second, anything you write on a forum should come from the heart; if you copy someone else's post, you risk losing your account and being unable to take action.

Since bitcointalk is a discussion forum, all you need to do is discuss. You can choose a topic you like and get involved in the discussion. Reading more both in forums and outside forums, from any point of view, discussing is a good thing and will increase our knowledge.

There's a lot of information you can actually search here and basically you can start to read with pinned threads on this section or even on outside of this board. You can also use the search bar when you want to find something so for sure by doing this two basic things you can learn a lot here. I know its confusing at first but once you familiarized the forum structure for sure you will find it a basic platform where you can read a valid information's.

For now focus first on what you are interested with so that you could provably practice yourself to know more about it and once you know how to browse this forum for sure you can go to other one and then learn again then possibly earn. Don't focus on earnings since its just there if you learn a lot of things focus to be knowledgeable since this could be more better to do as a newbie.

You just claimed to have started learning about the forum after you figured out that you’ve been wasting your time doing other things that are not relevant here. Since you just figured that out now, assume yourself as a newcomer then navigate through the general forum and not the board you’re used to engaging in before. You can start from here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0), it will be a good guiding tool for you during that period while you seek to interact and join more productive discussions in the forum in general for now.

Nobody is allocating time for anyone here, the time is in your hands and how you handle it depends on how fast you can learn and become better in the forum. Time is unlimited here, when you’re time constraint, you won’t be able to achieve more or understand some basics you need to know, so take your time and learn, build, and become a better forum member.

Good out put for the O.P, and it's cool O.P voiced out to what will help him or her understand how the forum works without going up and down (navigating) without direction to what he or she wants. I do see many will just be asking unnecessary questions just so they want to quickly have their activity count, in order to want to follow up bounties or airdrops without having a clear understanding about the forum this generation just want everything sharp sharp which it doesn't work that WAY...

You have to try to learn yourself, you said yourself you should spend more time, you definitely should spend more time on this forum.  Contrast the current time with the time when you started on the forum and you will realize that you have gained enough knowledge about this forum over time. It is not possible to know everything in a short time, to know everything you must give time. You need to spend more time on this forum than a veteran member spends on this forum. You are new so you should explore every section of the forum. When you go through each section of the forum you will have a rough idea about different topics and you need to change that rough idea to a good idea and to turn a rough idea into a good idea you must spend time in the forum.

If you are willing to help yourself first by concentrating on relevant post in the forum, and get yourself some books that related to Bitcoin and crypto, I believe it will be very easy for people to help you in this forum and it will help you to grow faster in the community. Don't be in a hurry to be where legendary and hero members are today, because it take them some years before they got to that position and they took a good step to study anything that related to crypto some years ago, and they are doing well in the community today which is the wish of every newbies in this forum. If you can stay away from bounty, I think it will help you to know some things that will open your eyes to see many discussion sectors that will impact you to grow.

I believe that the name of this forum is self explanatory, it is "bitcointalk", therefore it is primarily a forum where people who have interest in bitcoin, comes to discuss about it. We also discuss topics that relates to cryptocurrency in general. I joined this forum with a zero knowledge about cryptocurrency, and today I've gained a lot of knowledge about it, thanks to experienced members here who are ever willing to guide newbies, to increase their knowledge.

The forum is also a place to discuss various issues that concerns economics, politics and other social issues.

Finally, based on the quality of your posts you can be merited by other members, rank up and earn from signature campaigns here.

All forum participants go through this stage. Your case is not unique.

If you don’t know this, then neither do we. Get clear on your goals and priorities.

I have no idea what you want to work on (or how) on the forum, but you need to work on your ability to clearly formulate and express your thoughts first.

Whatever you want to do here (or anywhere else), spending more time is not enough. It is important to use time productively.

Don't expect help from others if you don't make any effort yourself.

from your first activity on the forum, I can see you went to the forum for the bounty campaign. what else are you looking for besides that?
nothing forbids you from doing that. but if you want more time to find out what you can get from the forums, I suggest getting out of your habit on the Bounty boards. spend more time on forums to expand your knowledge of Bitcoin. but if that's not what you're looking for, we can't give you any advice.

A forum like the one you see now, that's a forum.
As far as I know, if one of the accounts that comes here, they already understand how Bounty works, I have no doubt about them, I'm sure that account already understands how the forum works, it's just that they don't care about forum rules, they only think about how to generate some tokens in the bounty they are working on.

I'm also sure of the OP, you are not new here, even though your account was registered in 2023, I'm sure there are other things that caused you to create this account, whatever your story is, The point is that there are still guidelines for the Bounty rules, if you want to get to know the forum more, as well as the forum rules, maybe you can find them in the Meta section.

It is obvious that someone recommended the forum for earning and pointed him on the altcoin bounty board.  Probably after sometime @OP realized that he is wasting time on the altcoin bounty board and is asking for guide on how to effectively generate income on the time spent here in the forum.


I believe this is the reason why @OP is asking for guide or help.  He wanted to rank up so that he can participate on a more secure way of earning but he don't know how to do it.

Anyway, @OP just browse this board and you can see lots of tips and guide given on different threads by the members of this forum. It may help you find what you are looking for.

Determine what you are after to make it easier to do it. Of course it takes time to achieve the goals you are pursuing, you can invest time when you are not busy outside the forum to broaden your horizons. Here you can find something new if you want to learn about Cryptocurrency, there is a lot of knowledge spread here that can help you pave the way to success in the crypto field.

How to work on it? Like what are the things that you need to do here something like that?

It feels overwhelming at first because that's what I felt as well when I was a newbie like you, but don't rush everything. If you're here for knowledge, everything is here, but of course, there are other ways for you to learn like watching documentaries online, watching educational videos, etc. Now if you're here for the "MONEY" then just focus on your day job, and don't follow those newbies out there who are constantly posting "Proof of Authentication" every single day just for a few bucks. Not worth it for me.

Learning takes time. Researching takes time. Many here can help you and can give you some links that will lead you to the information that you need. This forum alone isn't the only place for you to learn, but most can be learned here. Welcome OP, and Good Luck.

Now you know that joining bounties isn't that much fruitful since many of the bounties are scam and you can hardly find legit bounties that will surely pay and it is also not easy to find one since scam bounties may also look professional just to scam people. First of all, you should learn how to make a good post and also learn more about this forum even though you may have known some of it or not. Don't worry as you won't lose money but your time only which will be useful since you will learn a lot spending yoir time to learn snd explore.

Two days after you published this topic, I believe that you have become able to determine some of your goals for being on this forum through the various proposals that the members suggested to you in their comments. What is most important of all is that these goals are consistent with:
- Your personal skills and experiences that you have previously acquired, which you can employ in different ways here, for example, by sharing those experiences with others and creating mutual benefit between you, or by launching your own business through which you provide services in exchange for money.
- The forum’s rules are very strict and are subject to the community’s oversight, perhaps even more than the administration’s oversight, which always remains limited due to the huge number of daily posts on the various sections.

I wish you all the best that your journey on the forum will be enjoyable, and I am sure that you will find everything you aspired to.

I checked your profile after reading some posts and it looks like you are here to make some money and if that's the case then there is no shame in doing that even the administrators of this forum admire that. But you have to be real and should not promote or support fake or scam platforms or websites. On observing your posts I can say you are not new and you know this forum's rules very well.

For a moment let's agree that you are new but you are learning so fast which raised concerns I am not trying to accuse you of someone pretending to be a newbie here, it's just you learned so many things in less time. I think if you go at this pace then you can find something to earn.
If you have some special kind of skills that you think can be of some use to others on this forum then you can create your service topic in the service section, or you can rank to join the signature or Review campaigns. At the current moment you can take part in prize prediction contests, and other than this there are Avatar contests also organized. You can earn good money from them.

You are welcome to the forum and understandably, if you are here for what the forum is programed for, then you are said to be running after Bitcoin to acquire its broads ecosystems and taking part of advantages of its potential possessions that is to offer global economical biased relevances through its services exchanges and also the potentials to enrichments.


I don't get it right if you means to ask how you can stay positive and productive to the forum or how you can hold onto Bitcoin.
So if it is of you being in the forum, you are expected to go about laws abidments, following its terms and policies and then maintains good and quality posts of topics and replies to growing and ranking your forums account and at your qualifications you are to join signatures campaigns where your effortless positive contribution are expected cordially according to your sensibilities of tangible capacities. This is specifically based of Bitcoin discussions but because Bitcoin inventorial phenomenon has a way to positively affecting to lives, diverses of discussion is also made relevant.
However, talking about the the intense valuabilities and reliabilities of the Bitcoin, it is an inventory with a prior potentials of digital exchange currencies that is to offer its services on good and services towards person to person with its designatory nature of decentralization whereas there is no governmental authorities that is in charge on the currencies existence or ad governance.
Also, it is most reliable crypto currency by the nature of its security terms through its unique and uniformed programmed ecosystem to render its holders confidence to individual custodians.
Its nature of increases and decreases is concerned about the its demands and supplies just as every other digital crypto currencies but the unique side of it also is the level of volatility which is posed to abiding to the volumes of its investors.
Hence Bitcoin is the best reliable amongst other Coins that is why it is most accepted and globally recognized and adopted. The ecosystem is kept up to dating in other to proffering legitimacies and keeping to its reputable integrities even at the interpretation of other coins because they are emulated to Bitcoins nature on acceleration and cognitive congested developments considering its invertors fairness.

Early Note : Bitcoin is not a get rick quick and a high level of Investors patient that is make profits is required that is one side advantage of hodling for a long-term aside the ideology for setting up schemes for retirements. However,  that doesn't mean that short-term loan ain't profitable yet patient is the keen skill to taking a winning advantage on the Bitcoin marketing journeys.

Greetings and welcome to the Bitcointalk forum, Mate. I have 100%sure that this forum helps everyone who has been introduced to this amazing place. One thing to remember is that you won't regret coming here if you pay attention to what they introduce you too, and abide by the forum's rules, which are considered defamation classes.

• Don't duplicate posts from people you follow.
• Plagiarism occurs when someone copies text from the internet and pastes it here. Take notes please mate.
• Your responses in any topic should be based on your mental state.
  
  Furthermore, take your time and look over some of the links that other members have recommended to you; they will be really useful. You don't have to rush your learning here because everything is a steady process that demands patience and persistence to attain your goals. It takes time for great things to happen.

This is a forum, more like a school where you learn about bitcoin. No rules that are limiting what you can learn here, just do the right thing and make yourself enrich with the rightful knowledge you want to have in the forum. If there was time set for learning or becoming better in the knowledge needed here, little or no knowledge will be acquired overtime. You have been given many guides on how to become a better forum user, go through it and build yourself in the forum.

As you slowly learn about the forum, you shouldn't be in doubt about what you're running after, but rather that you're spending time on something good. Adequate time must be given to learning and you must give enough time to learn. Just like when studying we feel like life would be better without studying, in the beginning of learning about this forum and Bitcoin it may seem like we are spending our time chasing the wrong things. Be patient enough and try to know, each section of the forum is important for you separately. In the beginning you will find the simple topics of each section difficult but gradually when you spend time in this forum you will know enough about this forum.

You need to have objective while you are here in the forum, because many is here because of different things..secondly if you don't have ambition to be here, I think that the major thing you can do for now is to concentrate in the forum and acquire some certain knowingly that will help you to understand the paths of bitcoin which is the primary objective while the forum is been initiated, but for you learn and understand the conduct of this community I think you have to ensure that you learn with this following measures.

• make sure you read posts in all the boards that consist bitcoin
• observation is one of the things that will elevate a newbie
• read and understand what you read before posting
• post in a thread or a comment you understand the content
• cross check your words before posting
• ensure that your spelling and your sentences is in order

With the help of all this I think if follow it up you will be able to learn from the forum..in the aspect of work you have to grow up your account before joining any signature because I know quite well that you are using indirect way to portray about how can you earn money
from the forum.


It's very obvious that the work he or she is emphasising on is a signature campaign, it does not want to be specific because is working under the instruction of someone that introduces he or her in the forum, the work it mentions it did not been specific for a particular work it can do like all this signature design and avatar design, so the work it's emphasising on is a signature campaign work.

It's obvious that op is in the forum already and it's objective is to earn and it does know how to put it first, According your observations that has been in bounty before and it happens after its registration in the forum, so that means that op is trying to play a role of newbie whereas it's not a newbie, it can only be a newbie in this account been the alt probably it has another account elsewhere  in the forum, because the tone of op comment is something fishing.
