📝[Discussion topic] Overview of Bitcointalk Signature-Ad Campaigns📝

No one sent me any PM.

I was just thinking there might be a shred of seriousness in that post but I guess everyone has a different sense of humour.
No biggie, my mistake really.

There are a couple of people here I trust so much that if they said they're about to go homeless I'd vouch for them and send them what I can.
I would also gravitate towards trusting certain Legendary members here with moderate amounts for money if they said it's for a good cause. So that's the thought process I was running with.

If OP said a couple people he knows here could be saved from homelessness for now with a small donation it might have been worth it to give them a chance.

OK, my turn, I remember Bit-X campaign that initially had no upper limits, and they would pay for any number of posts, as long as they were constructive. If I remember correctly, there was one guy (I'm 99% sure it was Muhammed Zakir who would make over 1 full bitcoin in one pay-out round, as his posting volume was insane (and surprisingly of a good quality). He disappeared in 2018, possibly just retired with a big pile of cash from signature campaigns.
Right now, it seems like a great offer, but back then, the fiat rate per post was not that great and many forum members (myself sadly included) were not very motivated by that and would only make a modest amount of posts each week.

Is this Bit-X signature campaign about casinos or other platforms? I'm curious about how the campaign was paid per post and there was no maximum number of posts.

It turns out that after researching this campaign, they have spent more than 300 BTC - wow, this is really amazing, but back then the price of BTC was still low, maybe under $1000 in 2016.

I hope people in this world think the way you do. I really appreciate what you wrote but keep in mind that many people just beg for the money without any need. Maybe their numbers among high ranks are lower but these ranks aren't always associated with the first creators since there are many sold accounts even in the legendary rank.

Nah, it was an exchange, and (if my memory serves me right) they also offered some crypto debit cards.
And yeah, it was possible because Bitcoin was dirt-cheap and the amount per post (in fiat) wasn't that high. Plus, it was an early stage and Bitcoin/crypto were pretty much unknown outside of the community, so it made sense for new businesses to go heavy on promotion on this forum, to build their position and work out an advantage over others.
It's crazy to think how big and profitable the top exchanges have become. I don't think many back then expected crypto to blow up that hard.

Therefore, Rainbet remains the most massive, as there's published spreadsheet data.

I doubt. Yahoo62278 can confirm about yobit campaign. It should be more than 150 users.

Yobit was a massive campaign of well over 500 active users at once and more than 500 banned users on top of that. It was almost a fulltime job checking reports from users and posts as I couldn't just ban them on someone's word without looking into it. As it wasn't a traditional campaign and literally anyone could enroll at anytime, so some days I could wake up and 50 new users joined.

Are we reminiscing about the past again?

Very interesting stuff. I don't remember this user, but damn, getting full Bitcoin in one patment round is very impressive, even if Bitcoin value was very little compared with what we have now. But what is even more impressive that user who was making such huge number of posts wasn't typical signature spammer.

Yeah, you're right. From what I remember it was quite popular debit card.

I had no idea that there was so many participants. From what I can remember initial Yobit campaign which was later was managed by hilariousandco was also huge.
At one time Stake campaign was big, but IIRC they didn't had public spreadsheet.

@icopress and the other signature campaigns managers, I think you should consider locking systematically on hold campaigns and the closed ones. Some people continue to write unnecessary posts and others just spam and necro it like this (presumably bought) account here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5521524.msg65806159#msg65806159
