Altcoin for signature campaign?

[Daisy14]

It can be tricky finding the right alt signature campaign to join. Antshares for instance had a lot of support but has refused to pay its signature campaign members till date.

In my mind, signature campaign is an easy way to get started and earn some coins, but most campaigns are only open to high ranked users. some campaigns however, do accept newbies, like me. and i have noticed that most of those campaigns are about a new altcoin, and pays in that certain type of altcoin, which requires me to get a wallet of theirs. Any thoughts on whether its a good idea to participate in those campaigns or potential riskes?

It is also for their coins to get populated. That way they could get some clicks and maybe rank up in google search somehow. They would also prefer that because it is free advertisement for them.

Risky but do you have a choice? You could stay without signature if you want.

[X-ray]

the only reason why new altcoin is accepting newbies is because they need mass advertising in short amount of time and need it immediately for the sake of their ICO's project to be succesfull and gather as much investor as it can,there's no risk on joining these kind of signature campaign but keep in mind that some coin projects may be turning out to be scam coin but only few

altcoin payment for signature campaigns is the worst way of getting paid for the job that you are doing. because most of the time you would have to install their wallets (Risk: the wallet may be malicious with a virus that steals your bitcoin) and running a full node wallet is not easy. and then you get paid after a long time (Risk: price always falls for these coins) and you will be left with so much lower amount that you were supposed to get.

even if the price doesn't fall by the time of payment it will fall as soon as they pay out the signature campaign participants and usually other campaigns and promotions and rewards because there will be a massive dump by the recipients.

well joining in alt coin signature campaign is like gambling, maybe the coin can be worthful, it maybe can be worthless, but since you are newbie and not many campaign want to accept newbie rank and you don't need to invest anything, i will suggest you to try it, who knows you alt coin can be valuable in the future

I agree with you, joining in an altcoin campaign is also a risks. I once
join in altcoin campaign gives me profit, there is also a good side in
joining it.

Signature campaign usually 100% free, all you will doing is put some code in your signature then collecting free coins. If the coins is worthless then forget about it. So where/what is the risk?

[talkbitcoin]

only do it under the following conditions:

1) if you could get paid with that altcoin but based on its bitcoin value. for example if you are supposed to get paid 0.01BTC per week you get paid that much in that altcoin.

2) only if you can receive it in an exchange wallet and dump it as fast as you received it. in any other case you would be taking unnecessary risks.

* although there is an exception that if you by any chance liked that particular altcoin and wanted to keep it!

[escapee]

yeah if it is really good coin or project.
they don't need that much kind of campaign like signatures.
look at the ehteruem.
it doesn't need signature campaign.

Yes  its actually 100% free  on  joining those altcoin campaigns  but the  risk  involve  is  not  on  money  but  on the  effort  and time   you  putted  on a  particular  campaign. If they dont  pay then  your efforts are  useless , especially to  altcoin  campaigns  which last for   months , those  time are just on waste and its better to put  up  into  different things and thats the  risk  involve. Thats  why we should  be  observant to a  particular   coin if its  a good  or a  bad  one  but its not easy as  it sounds.

I am also worried about viruses that comes with the wallet of that currency downloaded on my laptop or phone. After browsing in the altcoin discussion session I noticed people are worried about securities mining altcoins, just wondering if the same risks are involved if I just download a wallet.

You should be ok if you download the wallet binary from the official website. The safest is to download the source and compile it yourself.
However this can be a challenge unless you are using OSX or Linux. Don't ever click a download link unless it is from the original post of the ANN here on BCT or from the website listed on the original ANN.
There are spoof sites and Github accounts where the perp has changed one letter of the link (Caps L for l or 1 for l etc) - don't download or build any binaries from these sites.

Back to topic - it's worth doing ICO sig campaigns for members - as mentioned earlier - do research or you may waste your time. INCENT is currently running and Chronobank/TIME is upcoming. These should be worth something on sig campaigns. Many BTC campaigns bar negative trust so for seniors and heros with negative trust these ICO campaigns can be a good alternative if one picks well!

I'm afraid that even if its an altcoin signature campaign, Most of the participants are at least junior member and a junior members pay rate is pretty low.  

Participating in altcoin signature campaign is quite risky because some of them don't pay out, or the coin can turn out a failure or even a scam.

The good thing about this is if the coin turned out to be good then you will certainly get profits from it that you can exchange for btc. And if you're a trader, you can use the coins you earned in trading.

If you're still planning to join an altcoin signature campaign, you better do some research about the coin first, But it is recommendable to just join a bitcoin signature campaign cause many campaign has already proven paying plus bitcoins price is volatile and it is the most stable cryptocurrency

[Natural Perm]

Most of us newbies are not allowed to join any kinds of campaign so while waiting for our account to level up.
Lets just use that time to get familiar in this forum and improve our post quality.

[muhcoins]

it's good? no - lol.
but as a newbie, you dont have others options and to progress with your rank you need to post.

so, do what you have now and later you move to another campaign.

[jeraldskie11]

We need to careful for those campaign because some are scam. You don't if they paying and give you a reason why they did not pay you. That is the strategy of the campaign so be careful every time you make a move. That's all.

The risk is if you advertise a scamcoin then your name is ruined and those that matter will not trust you.

So you decide if the pocket change is worth it.

FYI, alot of people will put you right on ignore if you are shilling scams.

[jeraldskie11]

Signature campaign is the service that gives you an extra income. If you have a free time you can join signature campaign in this forum to get paid per post. Like me, i'm using signature campaign.

It would really harm  your account  if  you  are  promoting a scam coin that's why  its better to be vigilant  on  altcoin campaign  that   you are  joining , if  you saw that  there are  already  bad accusations  on the coin  then  its better to leave   rather than staying  up  on the campaign  because there are  lots of DT's around  which  will give  you  negative trust for sure.
