Why are signature campaign scarce?

[palle11]

I have observed that signature campaign are not forthcoming as users make applications and re-applications. Few campaigns  reward very minimal. Is it anything about China's ban?
What's your view?

[Don Pedro Dinero]

I wouldn’t say signature campaigns are scarce and China has nothing to do with campaigns at all. It is true that there are more people applying for signature campaigns than positions available. It is also true that some people re-apply because they don’t get accepted, but there is a big problem in the forum with low quality posts due to signature campaigns and at least some managers are trying to address the issue.

So, if you want to get into signature campaigns in the future try to post in the forum regularly but adding value to the conversations.

It's possible that from your perspective as a newbie on this forum that you see very few opportunities for yourself. However, there are a large amount of sig campaigns, but keep in mind that there is an even larger number of members on the forum. Not everyone can be added into a sign campaign.

it is true that the signature campaign with bitcoin payment was scarce, but for signature campaign under bounties are getting more visible. reward for bitcoin based signature was relatively low and so as the risk for it is paid weekly unlike to the reward for bounties signature campaign are high and also the risk are high for it is paid after the end of the ICO and you will never knew if the ICO will succeed or not and some are ended up as scam so it is quite studios in joining bounties than joining bitcoin based signature campaign.

OP,  your observations are right. There's scarcity of signature campaigns paying in bitcoins these few days here. There is so much apprehension in the crypto world because of "China". This has caused  developers to be laid back and observing how things unfold before rolling out campaigns. It isn't really because there are so many people in the forum chasing after these campaigns. For instance before now we had on regularly basis an average of five fresh campaigns weekly. But now we have fewer campaigns. Devs are being careful.

China has a lot to do with it! If not, why do prices of cryptos plunge each time there is a negative news from China?

China has nothing to do with anything when it comes to signature campaigns.

The truly successful sig campaigns occasionally outgrow the need to do them. Coinsbank is an example of this.

Others are closed to new posters permanently as they have more than enough users to pick and choose from and they stay put anyway. Others like Bitmixer simply end their business.

And there seem to be many more short term ones, especially ICO related ones. They're quick bursts of marketing and nothing else.

It should also be noted that the ICOs the Chinese government is getting uptight about are largely unknown and unavailable in the West so there's no overlap.

Seems to be the case. I've never had a campaign since Waves closed and I don't bother with ICOs anyway. And there'll be probably less of those after what the Chinese government has done.

I'd prefer having a few microbits here and there while I gossip in this forum. At least that's sure coffee. ICOs seem to be a hassle. You'll register in their site where they dump you the tokens and there's that chance that it would be worthless.

You can check the alt market and you will see a lot of bounties. If you are talking about bitcoin paying signature campaign  there's a lot but you have to wait till a campaign manager open a campaign. But don't expect like everyday there will be a campaign. Sometimes like every week there will be 2 or 3 simultaneous campaign being opened. I guess patience is also needed in order to join a campaign.

You have either misread what I wrote or you are distorting what I say. I am not saying that China has nothing to do with cryptos, what I do say is that it has nothing to do with signature campaigns and I am not, at all, the only one in this thread.

You are saying that there are fewer now but correlation doesn’t imply causation. Can you prove that that’s because of China and not because of other reasons?

It is simply a case of profitability, if signature campaigns were profitable to run because they brought in extra business, then more would be run, if they aren't profitable then less will be run. I think you will find there are still many campaigns to choose between if you consider promoting alt-coins. These are more variable in terms of reward but if you pick a good coin to promote they can be very lucrative.

Don't blame everything that happens to bitcoin to China. There is no connection to sig campaign and china banning bitcoin. Bitcoin is expensive now, so it is expensive to run campaigns in bitcoin.

If you are not seeing bitcoin signature campaign, look at alt-bounty sections. There are tons of signature bounty campaigns waiting to be filled.

[joseafonso123az]

I don't believe signature campaigns are scarce and pay less. Let's see, when BTC reached almost $5000, the campaign managers didn't reduce the value of payment for the different activity levels. Neither they should do now, because it's still not that much undervalue. And we have to see also that some of that they might not judge all of our postings, because some might be just spam. China's ban happened now, campaign prices are like this for atleast the last 4 months

[Mpamaegbu]

China is only one country in this world, do you think bitcoin and signature campaigns rely on one country?

Signature campaigns are scarce because they bring not more value for the provider. If it was a more profitable advertisement method, more operators would use it.

Yes, granted that China is "only one country in this world" but don't be in a hurry to forget that China is also the biggest economy in the world with its overwhelming population. I guess this is the point some of us here miss. Whatever happens in China, whether we admit it here or not, has a spiral effect on the rest of the world economically.

Ha ha ha
true, China is a big problem. All issues are always China's cause. That is not true.
China is the largest country with the largest population, most bitcoin holders after Japan.
but it is not fair that China is always blamed.
need to think positively and wisely.

[Przemax]

Sorry it is because of me. Every signature campaign that was in had gone. It is my legendary bad luck. The ones that was left are the ones that I was not in yet. They are still in the market because they do not welcome any new users.

That is normal when bitcoin price is so high many takes advantage of cheap advertising. Those who are high rewarding have full slots of users and that is why signature campaigns are scarce. Somehow there is an effect about China's ICO ban on the signature campaigns since some ICO altcoin signature bounty campaigns are based in China and has decided to stop what they have planned because of China's ICO ban.

[MMysterious]

I don't think China has to do anything with the "scarcity" of the campaigns although there are really times when there are new campaigns offered and maybe it is just in time with the news with China.

[swogerino]

China has nothing to do with signature campaigns here as very few if any has ever been from Chinese management or for Chinese product here. Signature campaign are not scarce, it is true that the reward is down compared to what it was before the surge in price of the bitcoin but still high ranked members are rewarded correctly for their posts. You need a bit more of experience in the forum before rushing to such conclusions.

Signature campaigns have nothing with news around China or anything else, their function is commercial and nothing more. And if to talk about payments, they surly became lower than before, everything cause of bitcoins price, which was much lower previously. biggest part of campaigns start their activity with fiat investment and campaign would loose a lot in the case if they would continue to pay a lot per post in bitcoins.

[LTU_btc]

Chinese business don't organize signature campaigns. For all other business which start signature campaigns - China is not their target audience. I don't see any correlation between news from China and number of signature campaigns.
And I can't say that signature campaigns pays little reward. Many campaigns didn't lowered their rates, no matter how bitcoin price was high. Some campaigns paying rewards fixed in $ value, but their rates also not bad.
