CAN YOU EARN IN THIS FORUM?

[Ifunanyawinner]

So I just got into the forum not too long ago as directed by a friend and although the interfaces are kind of complex to comprehend, I find here a very profitable environment of learning about the cryptocurrency space.
So here are some questions I would love to ask :

Apart from the highly rich information about cryptocurrencies that can be gotten in this forum, can you also earn?

I heard of bounties and I'm yet to properly know how it works, but aside from the bounties program are there any other medium of earning here?

And again

How do I attract merits?
What do you mean by quality posts? Is this an example?
Who owns the Bitcointalk forum?

And I would really love to be a moderator here one day
I love the flexibility that the job gives.
How long will that take?

Welcome to bitcointalk!

Apart from the highly rich information about cryptocurrencies that can be gotten in this forum, can you also earn?

Yep, there are ways to earn.

• Sell your services.
• Signature campaigns.
• Bounty campaigns. (If you desperately need money)

I heard of bounties and I'm yet to properly know how it works

In bounties you either wear a signature (& avatar) and make posts or advertise them in social media. Check Bounties (Altcoins). Note that you'll get paid in their token.

but aside from the bounties program are there any other medium of earning here?

Yes, signature campaigns which pay in bitcoin. Check Services. Those that start with either CFNP, OPEN or just include “signature campaign” in their title, are signature campaigns.

How do I attract merits?

In summary: You make constructive posts. See: FAQ: Everything you need to know about forum 'activity, account ranks and merit.

What do you mean by quality posts? Is this an example?

I guess what I'm doing right now is an example.

What do you mean by quality posts? Is this an example?

The definition of "quality posts" to some people varies. It could be quality to some, but it might not be for me. Just contribute at the best you can and you wouldn't worry about it.

[WePiggy]

Most of the bounties are worthless so look for high quality projects otherwise you're just wasting your time. For newbies, just look at what the legendary and other high ranks are promoting in their signature. Those are more likely to be vetted by experienced coiners

Welcome mate, by the way, I just hope your friend you said introduced you to the forum did not give you the wrong information about the forum by telling you only about the possibility of you earning something from here, mind you that many users that started with such mindset never actually got the opportunity to actually earn, they were either desperate, plagiarized and got banned, or they just gave up after discovering a good amount of effort is expected from every forum user.

There is no set-in-stone definition of what a quality post is, cause what is quality for one, may not be so for another, but in my opinion what's very important is the effort a user puts into learning and increasing their knowledge, if you do that, then you'll start contributing to discussions going on in the forum, and with the requisite knowledge you've garnered you'll see yourself making quality/good posts.

And I would really love to be a moderator here one day
I love the flexibility that the job gives.
How long will that take?

If I'm to be honest with you on how long that will take, then I'll say forever, I don't think the forum is looking for new moderators, and even if Theymos is looking for mods, then there is an array of reputable members to choose from for that position, and you still have a very long way to go.

If you want to learn about how this forum works, make sure to read the Meta section, which explains everything you need to know about it.

Actually, make sure to read a lot here first. There's a ton of excellent information in this forum, already posted. Since you're just starting out, you should be reading a lot of posts for every post you make.

This forum is not like many other places in the internet. Each post here should have a reason to exist. Don't spam, or post low quality stuff. Think before you post. Try to give value in your posts.

You seem to be mostly interested in how to earn money in this forum. It can be done, but you need to create value for it. For example you can earn money by selling goods or services in their respective sections. You can also check out the marketplace in general. Another way of making money is to sign up for a signature campaign, which will pay you for posting constructive posts in different sections of the forum.

At the end of the day you should be providing value to the forum by posting good quality content here. Just do that, be a good human, and you'll get benefits from it over time. That's kinda how real life works as well.

Not with proof of authentication posts in bounty campaigns. Bounty hunters aren't exactly merit-worthy candidates.
By the way, welcome to the forum, but you will have to work much harder than this.

Pretty sure every job or position looks shinning and easy from outside, until you get in and see that it is not necessarily so, regardless, kudos for aspiring high and setting good target for yourself, it's a requirement for being successful.

This forum provides a platform for learning and earning, that is you can earn in this forum, but as a newbie firstly, i strongly advice that you do not completely base your focus  on the latter which is earning, so as not to miss out on the ultimate goal of learning.

[Accardo]

Welcome to Bitcointalk indeed it's a complex forum especially for new members. The best way to navigate here is to select some sections where contents shared there interests you. Not every section here talks about bitcoin and merits are awarded in those sections as well.

Don't invest much of your thought on earnings because it may seem tiring. Consider replying positively to those threads that you understand and believe that your comments will add to what the OP is saying. They are enough room for people to learn here without commenting or even creating an account but people that want to rank up and sell services on this forum need to add value to the forum and make enough engagements on topics shared on this forum.

[Falconer]

Apart from the highly rich information about cryptocurrencies that can be gotten in this forum, can you also earn?

Looks like your friend can explain this question without having to create this thread because I'm sure you were directed here because your friend is also making money on this forum regardless of whether he is a bounty hunter, trader, minner or signature campaign participant. And it is true that most of the forum users here can make money regardless of their interests.

Merit is generally a form of appreciation that other people give to the quality of your posts, but in many cases merit can also be meant to thank you for your contribution to this forum. Sometimes your curiosity can also make people reward you with merit, but if you care too much about merit then you will rarely get it because people can assume 100% of your posts are just because of merit. Granted that seems unfair, but merit is not moderated so that everyone can stick with their own decisions. You should also know that satoshi and sirius are the people behind this forum project and they have dedicated their time and knowledge to make this forum what it is today. They are the founders, but we are all the biggest shareholders in the project.

[Poker Player]

Of course there is money to be made on the forum. I, apart from the answers you have been given, would only add that you should not be in a hurry. Take your time to acquire knowledge and get to know the forum, post regularly, and above all, don't be in a hurry, don't cheat. If you end up plagiarizing or scamming or buying an account out of a desire to make money on the forum quickly , you will end up in a bad way.

[YOSHIE]

There are many things that can be learned in this Forum, be it about Bitcoin, crypto, trading, Bounty, campaigns and many others, for sure some of the members above have suggested a lot of things you need to know regardless of income, basically money will come to you if you have the skills and knowledge, make money chase you, don't chase money, that's the key to success either in forums or in the real world.

And one more thing, diligently reading here and understanding what other members are talking about, like you go to a city you haven't visited, when you are in that city, You will adjust and understand everything that exists, where is the place of worship, where is the place to urinate and defecate, where it is possible to produce and where you can get to know each other, you will know all that once you settle there.

The bottom line: obey the laws, rules, both prohibitions and traditions in the city, by itself over time you will be resurrected into a character there and have everything.

an interesting trend is here on the forum. "Newbies" comes here and asks obvious questions about some banal things.
For example, OP asks about merit, how to attract. So it's obvious that he knows about the merit system here what it is for and what it is benefits. however, he did not research more about the forum, what are quality posts.
Also, he is interested in bounty and earnings opportunities of which he knows nothing, though his first four posts are the prof of auth in bounty threads.

After all, it would be logical for him to come here again and read the answers he received. surely there is something else he did not understand.

And here I was, thinking that there was a missing "L" in the topic's heading …

The comments above are a good enough kick-start, although probably the most important thing to bear is attitude, and that ranges from reading and picking up on how the forum works, to being somewhat versed on bitcoin overtime.

As to the Moderator question, this is a listed compilation of their accounts: List of the forum's admins/ global moderators/ staffs.
All the accounts on the list are all pretty stable and aged on the forum and its inners, and besides probably all having an excellent proven track of reporting, it’s a Trust related assignment (not job per se), and that is something that is not taken lightly nor easily met in criteria.

Most of them nowadays come here straight away to earn cryptocurrencies or money. Most of them have no idea what they are dealing with and only know one thing in general. Merits = High earnings whereas it should have been, Learn then Earn merits = Earnings.

It might be obvious to you but not to another...
Especially not to a newcomer
And proof of authentication posts doesn't mean I have all the idea of how bounties work...
And even if I did
A little clerification and validation from the community won't hurt would it?

As long as my question is not meaningless which it isn't as it contributes to the "AIM" of the community which is to help educate everyone... as stated by you.

I'm not sure how to be moderator here, but I'm pretty sure the criteria is so high to be one.

As much as I can see only few moderator has been chosen. But I think some applied too. I really wonder about this case. Anyway, your dream is too advanced why not focus every every questions yet to reading more here.

And proof of authentication posts doesn't mean I have all the idea of how bounties work...

Oh, okay. Don't you understand how the awards work? But the first 4 posts are registrations for the bounty. Tell us, what are you going to do there, since you still don't understand anything?
Again, a beginner who wants to get everything very quickly.
Your post reminds me of a hungry boy who ran into the kitchen and looked into every saucepan asking, expecting to eat quickly.
If you are in such a hurry, you will very quickly be extinguished in your desires.
And yes, high barriers like becoming a forum moderator starting with bounty programs are good motivation.
And what? Everything happens in this world.

I clearly stated that a friend introduced me to this forum, that should mean he might have explained a substantial amount of how things work here but not everything... obviously. 😹
So me asking about the bounty program was to see if there was more to it
It wasn't necessarily because I knew nothing about it .

I like you kitchen boy story tho😅
But trust me I'm a little different from him😗
