The First Signature Campaign in Bitcointalk Forum

[PacePay]

I was also searching for the first signature campaigns on this forum for a few days but I found all the signature campaigns started from 2013 and 2014 and at that time the price of bitcoin was higher so at that time the pay per post were not much different from nowadays.

I was wondering which was the FIRST Signature Campaign in this forum and what was the bounty or reward given to the participants. Was it be like 10 bitcoins per post for jr. member or something? (DAMN!)

Could anyone post the link if the page exists. I couldn't find after googling it.

I don't know what site is the pioneer in signature campaign or who did introduce to advertise with it in the first place.

But with the rates, I don't think it's done that way as you are thinking, the rates should be the same until now and upon seeing primedice's old thread.

There's nothing new.

[Arcteryx]

Just ask Stunna I think he was the very first campaign manager for these signatures when they were allowed to be shown on the forums.
My guess would be a dice site but I think I am wrong there.
Probably a website design service or something like this.

[rytyr]

I do think Safedice was the very first one.
They have been around since early 2013's and how can a site last that long without any promotion on this forum to survive this long?

in that year bitcoin prices are already experiencing a slight decrease and also has started a lot of people using bitcoin. so it is natural if the pay is almost the same as it is today.

I don't get it, the link which you mentioned is SatoshiDice, not Safedice. SatoshiDice is the oldest bitcoin gambling site (2012), but i doubt if they were the first one who running signature campaign.

10 bitcoins per post lol, it could have been if signature campaign were active in the year 2009-2010. i found an old thread of primedice signature campaign(https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=215769.msg2264485#msg2264485). it was a fixed campaign, not pay per post.

4 months later, Primedice created a new thread for their signature campaign which pay per post (Maximum 400posts in a month) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=291387.0

I can't also see what is the first signature campaign but I think primedice begins 2013. There are campaign still running their service since 2014 like the secondstrade.

Wow. That's a lot compared to the currwt rate of sig campaigns at the moment. They are offering a 0.1+ btc for a minimum of 30 posts per month. I can see why it has become a trend here to continue campaigns in this forum.

After taking a look at this thread, I found out that the thread was created in 2015 and I am sure there would have been some earlier than that. The answer to this in my opinion will be answered by mods or staff especially a thread for the update of signature campaigns I am kind of sure that the starter of that thread can provide a good answer to this...

[LTU_btc]

I think there wasn't possible to get 10 per post or similar amount. If I'm correct, there was no signature campaigns in early years of forum. In past, bitcointalk wasn't such commercialazed forum as today. And also, there wasn't so many bitcoin related services. After looked few links provided above, first signature campaigns appeared somewhere in 2012-2013, and their rates was higher than today, but not few bitcoins per post or per week . But after small Google research, I can't say which campaign was first. And maybe, first campaigns was called in other words than "signature campaign"?

Only 2 years back you could earn a lot of money by posting. This is one of many examples https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=973949.0
A hero member could earn 0.15 a week + a weekly bonus for top posters + loyalty bonus. All of that could probably get you 1BTC a month if you managed to score the bonus every week.

It would have been something crazy, back then I guess people got some killer rates (which at the time weren't that much).

I remember Primedice was a great paying gig, Stunna did a good job, I think at some point it was possible to make 1 BTC a month.

I remember (which isn't that long ago) that Bit-X allowed certain high volume posters (I won't throw with names) to earn like 0.5BTC per week. It was pure madness!

These people were making at least 2BTC per month, which at current rates is more than a lot people earn with their regular job. But obviously, Bit-x couldn't sustain such payouts for too long.

But even after cutting heavily in their signature campaign payouts they were still the best paying campaign at that time. Imagine how much someone would earn with several enrolled accounts.

I think the reason we didn't have any bitcoin campaign before 2013 was that bitcoin wasn't much popular and there weren't many business related to bitcoin existed during that time.
It was 2013 price hike that saw a lot of new entrants and investment in bitcoin related exchanges,gambling sites even cloud mining.
No need to say this forum has always been the best place to promote bitcoin services and websites and hence signature campaigns got started.

Bitcoin was only introduced to me last year but I am already seeing some advertisements about it when I am exploring the world wide web and I just ignore it without knowing that it is the best way to make money online. So for me, those early signature campaigns pay their advertisers in higher than now of course because the value of BTC was lower that time.

You will not find anything because the data has edited, updated every time. Just back to the 2009 and try to mine bitcoin with your desktop and you should get hundreds bitcoin. I've heard the rate of the first signature campaign is lower than the current signature campaign.

[Mvaporis1961]

I think it would not reach 10 Bitcoin as payment for a single account in a signature campaign,
Even if it was way back to 2012 10 bitcoin would still be a huge amount,
But I hope we already learn about this site back then so we also earned a lot of bitcoin and save it up.

[Zadicar]

This thing already been on my mind a way back before but i didnt tend to ask the community and now theres a thread related to this one and im really searching for the first signature campaign on this forum but mostly been mentioned they are lately launched and rates arent different as of todays. Wondering what would be the payout on those days way back before.

That "someone buy pizza with 10K bitcoin" was the first bitcoin transaction for physical goods. Even before that, I have heard many early adopters would give out 10 to 100 bitcoin to new users who are interested to learn more about bitcoin. Obviously, this was way back when bitcoin had any market value.

[illusioNiZt]

The rates would be same or close to same as now because the rates were probably low back then of BTC, But people who saved all their earning they must be living the life, would be interesting to know though someone who actually joined the campaign should post.
