My first signature campaign just ended. Here's how it went.

[Dzeronimo]

I guess that older members already know all this, but maybe it will be helpful to some new members on this forum.
I joined this Crypto party very late (too late?), so I decided to try some additional activities, besides mining, in order to return my investment. Since I'm new and with limited knowledge, I choose a simple activity - signature campaign.

I wasn't sure that I completely understand how signature campaign works, so for start I decided to pick some short campaign - if I'm doing something wrong it's much better to realize that after just a few weeks, than after a few months. Minimum requirements were also very important. I didn't want to spam forum and didn't take into consideration campaigns that require 15 or more posts per week.

With so many bounty campaigns out there, it was hard to choose one. I'm still a junior member (I hope not for long) and that also limited my possibilities.

Thanks to user RegulusHR I discovered Bountyhive and some other similar websites. After a quick research I decided to try Bountyhive. There are several reasons for that. First, all campaigns that I've checked on Bountyhive require 10 posts per week. Second, they accept junior members, and third, you don't have to make weekly reports - everything is automated. Also, number of participants per campaign is limited.

Of course, there are a few things that I didn't like. For example, it's all or nothing. There are no weekly rewards. You can have 10 posts per week for several consecutive weeks, but if you fail only one week you will get nothing. It would be great if they would allow participants to fail one week during the campaign and still get reward. Also, without weekly rewards you have to wait until the end of campaign to see will you get anything. On their website you can see how many people joined signature campaign that you are interest to, but you cannot see their rank, so it's hard to estimate earnings.

After checking all available campaigns, I decided to join Dropil signature campaign. I can tell you one thing - it was a very long month for me Finally, after one month campaign ended. One week later I saw on my Bountyhive profile that I'm rewarded with Drop tokens. My first signature campaign ended successfully.

Thanks for posting this, but let's not forget that this forum is not just for applying to bounties and earning money. Don't forget to participate in healthy conversations about Bitcoin and the crypto economy as a whole. I see that you're active on the mining boards, so thanks for your contribution.

[TopTort777]

Thanks for your story.

1) why did gou choose dropil exactly?
2) did you get tokens straight after main sale?

Thanks

That's great brother, this also my own second signature campaign, i choose medichain because of its uniqueness and great use case...

I agree with you and I'm not here just for bounties, but the fact is that at this moment I don't have much knowledge and my contribution is limited. I'm doing my best to help whenever I can.

Thanks for your story.

1 - One of the main reasons why I choose Dropil is because at the moment it was one of the shortest campaigns I needed a quick proof that I'm doing the signature campaigns in the right way. Now, for my second campaign I'm trying to figure out how successful the whole project will be because my plan is to HODL tokens that I earn. I also look how much % is invested in signature campaign, comparing to other parts of bounty campaign.
2 - Bounty campaign ended on March 6th and ICO sale ended one day after that. I received my tokens earlier today.

Good for you my first bounty experience was ended badly,i didnt get paid so i started to search good manager around who will surely paid you well,because most of these unknown and newbie bounty managers are goign to steal your stakes,that is why im only joing good campaign managers to i will get paid at the end of the ICO.

[odolvlobo]

So, how much did you get paid for your work? Was it worth the time you spent?

[Kakmakr]

Your story ended with a good result. I cannot even remember how many campaigns I have participated in, when the signature campaign did not pay after a month. There are a lot of scams out there, so you should look at their payment history, before you join.

I know a lot of people hate signature campaigns, but I think it is a very good method to keep the wheels spinning. We need to stimulate reward systems for micro tasks and we need these people to spend that money at merchants that accepts Bitcoin. <When we support them, they support us>

The signature campaigns are also a method to re-distibute wealth and coins to the broader community.

Good, congratulations on your successful completion of your first signature campaign. I love reading your story. No problem while you follow the signature campaign, you also share your useful postings.

Is the Dropil campaign that you've finished? And why you still wear that signature? you should remove it because your job is done.

It ended yesterday.
Thanks for your story, I've just looked it up and see a good platform to participate in a bounty when I wanted too.
I've read a lot that sign campaign has a high reward, why is that? Is there a lot of investor in bitcointalk?

This is the most relevant question. I think we would all be interested in the answer.

[destinysaid]

Very nice! so i read what you said and i would have loved to see campaigns allow failure on a week or two, but the only problem would be that people would capitalize of it.

i think its best they just went with an ''all or nothing'' style.

good luck on your Dropil signature campaign brother

Wait, if I understand it correctly,  "all or nothing" mean that either you got your tokens or you don't after the campaign is finished. There is no way to know how's your progress weekly/daily so that you'll only keep guessing whether your submission will be accepted or not. I don't think this is the best approach as it opens up the possibility of free advertising. Just imagine, I work two months spreading words about their bounty but in the end, I don't get paid. Wouldn't that suck?

[noorman0]

Yes it could be like that, every bounty that I found also saw that reward the largest signature campaign. Of course a bounty manager also knows a promotional field that has great potential in attracting investors.
If I think about this, it is true. Most members here, already know how ICO works, no need to explain from the basics, just enough to introduce the best program from the ICO to be worthy of investment land.

I've earned 75000 DROP tokens. As far as I know, Tidex is currently the only place where I can convert DROP to ETH/BTC. Due to a price fluctuation, value vary between 0.25 and 0.5 ETH (currently 0.35 ETH) for 75000 DROP tokens. Originally I planned to sell tokens immediately, but now I believe that Dropil has a good chance to become successful story and I will probably HODL
Am I satisfied with how much I earned? Definitely yes.
I mine with only two and the half GPUs (third card is in my desktop and I use it for gaming also) and maybe I wouldn't be spending time on signature campaigns if I had 5 full rigs for mining, but in my situation signature campaigns can help me to earn more and invest in mining hardware. Now I need to figure out how to become Member and not Jr. member on this forum

Yes, Dropil. I forgot to remove their signature until you reminded me After I finished Dropil campaign I started to search for a new one, but still didn't find. That's why I forgot to remove/replace signature.

I think you are right. If you fail one week (maybe you by mistake count your posts in the part of this forum which is not included in signature campaign - like Beginners & Help, for example), you will get ZERO. As far as I know, there is no way to find out that before the campaign ends. I also don't like that and that's why I avoid long campaigns. It would be mutual benefit to have more transparent (and near real-time) reporting system.

That's not bad. A couple hundred dollars for a few weeks of work. It is better than I expected. On the other hand, You could have earned that in just a few days with a minimum wage job in the U.S. (assuming that is where you live).

[Chaki]

Good for you,. The bounty end successfully, some story I've read is that they are still waiting for their manager to give them their award, some becoming annoyed because they are ignore by the manager and no update at all after. Many followers ups..

I live far from the USA and the average monthly salary in my country is around 450 USD. I'm very satisfied with the reward from this signature campaign.

75000 DROP tokens is a lot, and if you decide to hold it, that was a good decision. Imagine if you hold it until the price went $0.1 , as far as i know this is one of promising project that could have a great plan and future.

[jamesawyer]

I want to start with signature or translation bounty programs. This is my first time, what would you suggest me to do ? is there any thread to see good bounty managers ?
