Newbies + Bounty = Zero future

[Krislaw]

Apart from the money they can get through the bounty, maybe they are confused at first, they don't know where to start, besides that, differences in language and language skills also matter.

Well, those who refer/mentor new forum users also play lot of role in this. Imagine been introduced to this forum by a spammer, you would think it's normal do that. Some doesn't even care about ranking up to junior member rank.
The solution I'd suggest is that projects should made the conditions for joining their bounties more difficult, Maybe Full Member upwards. That would reduce spams of new bounty accounts and project would observe the difference in result.

Joining bounties doesn't necessarily mean you habe no future in this forum. Before, there were really good bounties which offered lots of profits that could be a great help when you're about to start your investment. Suddenly, there were lots of scam bounties which discouraged people to join it up until most of the bounties are already gone now. As you join a bounty and meet up their requirement, you're unconsciously learning as you wander the forum and it will definitely help as you continue your journey in the crypto world. It might be unhealthy for the newbies to start their exploration through bounties but at some point, it will make sense for them.

I would not say I have gained much experience. Because I was the first to enter here to bounty. Everyone new here starts their account to bounty. They think it is one of the most important cryptocurrency platforms. As a result, they refrain from discussing any other topic and only the bounty is activated.

I get it if they needed the money faster, because it's safe to assume that there are a lot of people here that are in not-so-good situations. But on the other hand, a lot of them would have a lot better opportunities if they actually decided to spend some time with research and actually learn. A lot of them have been here for years and years but still solely stick without bounties.

One thing's for sure though, it's pretty evident that a lot of them really don't give a crap about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies and there's nothing we can do about that.

You are absolutely right. Most of them don't give a shit or crap about learning more or understanding more about btc or cryptocurrency. And there is nothing anyone can do about that.. Most of them just wanna do bounties. That's all..

beginners who enter this forum only because the bounty is very reasonable because in the past I was also a bounty hunter. But it has been on this forum for longer, especially at this time with bounty campaigns that are more fraudulent. Our minds also have to change and don't always expect from the bounty. Develop an account that is owned, consistent with posts and quality of posts, it will be better. there will be more productive signature campaigns. it is a gift for those of us who continue to contribute to this forum.

Go to any bounty campaign, take a newbie user's weekly report, go to his profile and open his posts. There you will not find anything other than hunting for a reward.

That's right, because the new accounts are bounty dependent. They only come here to bounty and they don't even try to know anything other than bounty. However, many try to cheat with new accounts. Also scam. There is not the slightest interest in learning about Bitcoin or Alt-coins other than making money. Their profile is full of reports only on Facebook, Twitter etc. With the advent of the merit system, it has become possible to identify the real person.

Most newbies that have only bounties in mind will end up quiting because we all know how hard it is for bounty hunters to get good gains from campaigns this days, some projects won't even pay bounty hunters after the Campaign is over, let them give a try and see what happens later, newbies are very popular for promoting fake and scam projects anyway, they will end up in furious mood after 5 different projects don't pay them lol

[Travel Standard]

Many newbies comes from youtube and telegram where they have been taught that bitcointalk is for bounty hunters and they earn some pocket money on bounty ny doing some task. Newbie didn't know that if he used forum for bitcoin talking and other talking purpose this will help him to grow more and they can used this experience for trading and other purpose.
I myself trying people to motivates them to take part in posting other than bounty and many of them now started it.

They thought this forum a money machine and this will make them rich very fast . And they don't even know or visit any other thread thread expect bounty thread .Certainly they have zero future in this forum .

Of course because they never really want to stay in the forum, just do the job and then expect some payment, even if they are already spamming. Actually,  I won't be surprise if they themselves are not reading the forum rules before starting using their account, so they can easily break some rules.

Certainly they have zero future in this forum .

They'll not rank up unless they contribute and earn some merits.

In my opinion, because of this situation in the world, because of the COVID-19 scamdemia, many people have lost their jobs, and the only way for them to earn some money is to participate in bounty campaigns. These are the realities, maybe in 2021 the situation will be much better, one can only hope. I am a newbie myself, but I am interested in all these discussions around cryptocurrency, it is very useful information for me.

No, I can't agree with you on this, there were plenty boity hunters right away before pandemic period, participating in different bounties even when it wasn't paying them with rewards, there were kits if scam bounties right before pandemic but they never give up and still participate in them, I may say that doing bounties is a just a thing if the the mind and its a fun to them.

To me, newbies participating in bounties makes up the 80% of forum members that are recorded, but its isn't make sense as they care not about bitcoin discussion, gambling experience, one becomes perfect when one stop  hitting altcoin bounties board button, one becomes scam free/alert when one avoid been a hunter, it helps me a lot.

Newbie accounts in bitcointalk does not really participate in the forum if their main intention is just to join the bounty.

They will just make use of their account in making reports, that's it, they'll spam the bounty thread with report and maybe you'll see some who are not really sharing to the discussion with sense because they are just shilling a certain project, what would they risk, nothing, because even if they get red tag, they can just easily make a new one.

Just wait till they get more experienced and open "signature" sheet in spreadsheet, multiply high ranked users reward amount with altcoin price and realize how profitable signature campaigns are. Then they will start to think how to level up and start to visit other forum topics except bounties. Bad think is, when they level up as high as possible (that probably will be Member/Full Member accounts), they will switch to what they start with - using forum just to earn, but this time drowning forum in spam/off-topic.

I figure that, being the thread’s context that of bounties and Newbies, we’re essentially discarding signatures in the equation, and focusing on those so called social tasks that consist on spamming the hell out of one’s contact lists on Twitter, Facebook and such (plus the occasional post on Medium or Telegram).

Being that the case, I assume that the payment, if made, is going to be in tokens, and I wonder if that still pays off nowadays. Perhaps one in a thousand cases may add up to something, but are these bounties worth it anymore in general terms?
 
Maybe there is an economical country-based context that makes it somehow worth it in countries with extremely low income (bottom tier of https://www.allinallspace.com/what-is-the-average-monthly-salary-in-the-world-in-2020/), or a youth based correlation (pocket money), but I thought jackpot bounties were more of a thing of the past.

I see that almost all bounty reports are newbie accounts that have just been created and they are only for reporting so there is no intention at all with this forum they think is the money from the bounty.

Newbie accounts will not discuss or contribute to this forum even they do continue to spam every week they report, so what they are doing is really nonsense because what the bounty will be will not determine fast results even it will injure because of many accounts newbie caught due to multiple accounts.

[Slow death]

most people who are participating in bounty campaigns are not newbies, they have old accounts on the forum participating in bitcoin signatures campaigns and for that reason they create another specific account to participate in bounty. look at how well they get to know the bounty section and they don't post it in other sections just to avoid being discovered. last year I saw a lot of this, but as they were people that their old accounts were no longer participating in signatures campaigns, I forgot about this

[Imran232]

95% newbies of this forum is active on bounty threads.  They do not want to enter any other discussion thread.  Not many newbies even know that there are such discussion threads in this forum.  They have no interest in knowing anything about Bitcoin.  I don't understand why they do that. So do they lack knowledge about this forum?  How can they be made aware?  In my opinion every newbie should try to gain knowledge about bitcoin from Active in different discussion threads.  If they do, they will be in a better position in the future.  I know that the seniors of this forum are trying in various ways to make the newbies aware of this.  The reason was that they always realized that "today's child is the father of the future."

Right you are. If the new users dose not spend their time in right way or right topic they can not be successful in bounty campaign. I am also trying to be a member now i spend a lot of time here and try to post in different topic and wish i will get some merit. If my post deserve then i will get. I saw lots of people they are working on bounty platform from a huge time some people could be more than 2-3 years but they are still newbie in forum. Their post and activity is also a huge number it is almost 1k-2k+ but still new it should be they only post in bounty thread.

It is so unfortunate to see discussions like this about newbies, it's quite disheartening to realise that some newbies are only after making a quick earning on the forum rather than patiently on the waiting line to learn vividly all what Bitcoin discussions entails generally, am also a newbie and I don't have that kind of mentality, am not in an haste to make a quick cash, I believe slow and steady wins the race.
