Getting paid to post at Bitcointalk ?

[Coco500]

I was wondering this problem. Do you think some ICO are hiring people to comment positively on their ICO post ?

Is it legal under the forum rules

They are orginizin some signature campaigns. But that also could be possible but how can you prove it?

[Crasengover]

It's called bounty signature campaings, but they don't force you to write only about their project. You can post whatever you want and thus you advertise a project by wearing their signature. And in most cases it's very profitable both for a project and for a bounty hunter.

Correct explanation but I have seen signature campaigns demanding participants to post on their ICO announcement thread, at least one timer per week. It didn't state that it has to be a positive post, that will probably make it legal on this forum.

Yes, there are such bounty companies that you need to write about this project. But this is very rare and not more than 1-2 per week. In principle, you can write about anything. The project will be advertised passively, as your signature is visible to everyone.
Nevertheless, I try to participate in companies that, as I myself consider, very promising. Therefore, I can say with confidence that the project that I have in the signature will be successful. They collected a lot of money for pre-sale and I think that the tokens on ICO will end very quickly.

Idk how legal it is but I'm pretty sure some ICOs are doing it.

Also call me paranoid but there are some actual shills on here as well, who probably get paid under the radar.

[yinyangwinwang]

Why would it be illegal for this to occur it is the same thing as advertising in any other medium the only difference here is that we are online. The paid shills you are referring to are the people who do the bounty campaigns and the signature campaigns. I don't see anything wrong with this model, it is promoting your brand essentially.

[ericunc95]

I am sure there might be some of that going on.  I support a coin with my signature but I am not going to just write about a coin positively because someone pays me.  I would have to believe in the project to do that.

[cryptohunter]

without doubt this is happening .. this forum i suspect is full of paid sock puppets and undercover shills

many of these low level accounts are scrapped right after they finish with their pump campaigns.

Also ask any of them any kind of probing questions and they vanish never to return to that thread.

i think i have not quitly understood your question but if you mean signature bounty it is legit 100 percent and no one can judge you here on the forum.

[Rlyn]

Well, not sure but it's possible. But Most of people who commenting here are under the campaign.

They do hire and that is what we call signature bounty campaign which made this website a good place to earn rewards and tokens in exchange of posting or spreading the word about an ICO through their signatures.

[Mometaskers]

So far I haven't encountered any that require you to post positive comments, let alone make a post. Or maybe I just haven't tried a lot before. Those I've seen just request that the participant post something in the ANN thread, to also help bump it up.

[cherry yu]

i think its legal to post  about the ico project maybe once or twice a week. if you you joined their ico you are going to wear their signature to promote their project. you can can post anywhere in the forum as long as you cannot go off topic.you still be payed even you did not mention the ico because you wear their signature.

[jacafbiz]

I don't think he is talking about bounty campaign, I have seen posts like these promoting a token on the speculation and Altcoin discussion thread, I have notice these about Oyster pearl, ELix, Deep Onion and Spectrecoin

[dzkazmi]

You looks new to the business, Its called Signature bounty campaigns. Its perfectly legal as long as poster don't spam post.

Yes, there are campaigns that requires to post on their ANN thread, I think that is, to update (bump) their thread and make it recent or front page on topic listed. Some are requiring to post the twitter and facebook link for reporting.

If paying to bump is allowed then I can totally understand their decision. Getting the ANN thread on the front page might actually be a better way to raise awareness for a project than just signatures, depending on how much.

The last point is interesting. Little people answer on question probably because of you mentioned. If btctalk has some tools and you would see that someone replied on youre post, it could be solution in my opinion
