[ENDED] ChipMixer Signature Campaign | Sr Member+

[bitmover]

Highest pay on this forum. Longest running campaign on this forum. No min requirements. Great guy running the campaign.

If you leave this campaign due to a drop in payment then idk, maybe the forum wasn't for you to begin with..

After posting for a few weeks in this forum I discovered this Services board, where I could see a lot of signature campaigns.
I was amazed that something like that existed.

I was already posting here, I was already deep involved with bitcoin for months since I discovered it. I was posting here and in Reddit, and I was amazed by the idea that I could really earn a few satoshis just by posting. Helping people around, sharing my knowledge, and learning. I have earned a lot just by asking questions! This is really amazing.

After a few months I saw this campaign. The payrate was about 200 per week. I though that was HUGE! This is a lot of money where I live.

A few days ago jackg said that those sig campaigns are like early mining. And I liked that idea. Since I have joined this forum, I was able to "mine" a lot from those signature campaigns, and it is really amazing that theymos allows us to do so.

And I 100% agree with Hhampuz. If you are crying and want to leave the campaign because you need to earn 30 USD to post here.. well, there are so many amazing users, which huge amount of knowledge posting here for free. Because this forum is an amazing place.

You know what that means, boys...

Perks of being from third world country, the pay rate is still very good comparing the socio-economic conditions here.

[Halab]

Effective this week, campaign payments have decreased to $6 USD/post. All other rules remain the same.

NooooOoooOOOoOOoooOOOoO !!
I sensed an unpleasant disturbance in the Force these two last days
At least, there's not a minimum number of posts to do, otherwise I'd be in trouble
And for the disappointed, look on the bright side now : If the BTC goes up you get rich, if the BTC goes down you accumulate more.

[HeRetiK]

I planned on posting something clever and funny but now I'm not being paid enough to think of something


Seriously tho, I mean we all saw it coming Honestly I was already impressed when ChipMixer stayed true to their BTC rate when the 2017 bull market hit. For reference, BTC was at around USD 3000,- when this campaign started, so CM rode it out until the fiat equivalent increased more than tenfold. *not_bad.jpg

[suchmoon]

It's still a really good rate. And maybe this makes it a little more likely people will drop out and spots will open.

I don't recall when was the last time someone left voluntarily and keep in mind that most of the time except for a few months (maybe a year at most) the rate was below $6, i.e. BTC was below $8000.

Probably (or, provably) no one.

When I applied to this campaign rate was ~$5 and for few months it was, I don't know, around $2.5 (IIRC late 2018. or early 2019.).

End of an era! It was very nice while it lasted. 191 weeks without pay reduction straight through 2 bull runs must be a record on Bitcointalk.
I'm slightly disappointed it's now pegged to USD though. I was hoping we'd reach rediculously high amounts per post again if when Bitcoin goes up 10 fold again

I remember Lauda left this campaign a while ago and moved to FortuneJack, but I can't find back the post.

Are you sure Lauda was a participant of this Campaign? IIRC they never were, but DarkStar_ would know better I suppose.

Yes, from week 33 to 36.

Yes
The address can't be found anymore though, so it looks like all related posts have been deleted.

Update: Ninja beat me to it

Yeah, feels a bit like getting paid with monopoly money now after getting real cash for so long

Not complaining though, Halab's not wrong about the bright side ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think some of the smears against ChipMixer and it's signature campaign were influenced by the large payments CM signature participants were receiving, both abstractly and when compared to what other campaigns pay. I think the reduction in pay should help alleviate those smears while still attracting participants who make very good posts.

You guys are still making up to $1200 a month  

It's kinda eerie how TheQuin mentioned how all this speculation about price reduction will end up in an actual reduction, and barely three days have passed when this comes along. At least now we can name this phenomenon the Fleet Street Effect  

[Dabs]

Next question: $6 per post, based on which exchange or website? Bitstamp? Bitcoinaverage? Gemini? At what point in time? 24 weighted volume average? The highest green candle of the day? The lowest red candle of the day?

1 BTC = 1 BTC, but now we will be paid in $, sent via BTC. Our $1200 per month will end up either $900 per month or $1500 per month depending on how you value it all.

At least, for tax reporting purposes, you can say this particular bitcoin you got this week is worth $6.

Not just Lauda. Search through the spreadsheet for the word "left" and you'll see quite a few of us left voluntarily for our own reasons like the pressure of the day job.

Mixed feelings for me. Though I'd totally prefer a non-USD peg, I guess it's something that would be handy whenever we enter the next bear market, I guess. 🤷‍♂️

Let us all hope bitcoin drops down to $1 so that they pay us BTC6/post

But seriously when I joined this campaign the rate was among the "low rates" since the highest pay per post was 0.0018BTC. The only reason why this campaign suddenly turned into "highest rate" and attracted some drama was because they kept their pay rate the same while others reduced it or died.

Why not hope a better campaign from another company and they make it long lasting too?

Here you go: History - signature campaigns and bounties on Bitcointalk

0.0013 BTC per post and max post cap is 400 post per month. 400 posts ~ 0.52 BTC per month, really?  

Payment Structure  

Edit: Maximum of 400 posts per month will be counted.

Staff member - 0.0013BTC Per constructive post

Sapta on week 103.

I remember Lauda left this campaign a while ago and moved to FortuneJack, but I can't find back the post.

I don't think Lauda posted a farewell message of some sort in here ^{[perhaps in another thread or I might be wrong]}.

Exactly. Here are users that left this campaign ^{[for those that are interested]}:
^{- Personally, "I didn't leave" because of its rate but rather due to not having enough time [I was about to relocate to another country] and it felt wrong to occupy a spot while not giving back what ChipMixer deserved.}

Code:

sapta - Week 103
TheQuin - Week 94
krishnapramod - Week 80
SFR10 - Week 80
Flying Hellfish - Week 61
btcton - Week 58
warningsigns - Week 47
SaltySpitoon - Week 47
Lauda - Week 36
EXtremeAEX - Week 9

So if bitcoin would dump bad I will come here and look at the spreadsheet to see if you guys all dumped your btc stash simultaneously.  
I only wanted to point out that too many people (non-participants) started whining about the rates being so high. I do not know whether how this affected the decision or not but it is really sad to notice how people can be small and petty wishing that others lose what they have gained.
ChipMixers, most of them, are some of the most active and more technically advanced guys around here. A few rather interesting projects on Bitcointalk have been started and run thanks to them.
