I was referring to crypto forums in particular. If those forums were crypto inclined, they would have never needed to worry about how projects can pay participants anonymously, as they would understand how Bitcoin works. I thought that you were talking about forums in general as that's what the posts you quoted were about. Unless I completely misunderstood them. I am not as frequent on different forums, so there could be some reputable crypto inclined ones which have enough traffic to monetize it somehow, but choose no to through sigs or avatars. I was speaking on my personal observation.
I don't think that there is any other crypto forum that is active enough for advertisers to start signature campaign. Afaik altcointalk also has signatures but I don't think that there is anyone running singnature campaign that pays in bitcoin.

Could have been I who misunderstood that post, but it doesn't matter now as I understood what your reply was about better. I don't think that there is any other crypto forum that is active enough for advertisers to start signature campaign. Afaik altcointalk also has signatures but I don't think that there is anyone running singnature campaign that pays in bitcoin.
Most of the newer forums are more interested in replicating bitcointalk, than actually being a place for constructive discussions, hence they start off by using incentives to get people to use their platform, attracting spammers looking for a quick buck in the process.

I dis like reddit Why do you hate Reddit? Imo a forum having Reddit's format with upvoted posts being at the top(or probably merited, in this case) is a far more efficient way of reading. I don't like the way Reddit (or any social media nowadays) shows information: a computer decides what's most likely to keep your attention on the page (and maximize profits from advertising). I prefer to choose what to read on my own.
I appreciate the freedom of speech Bitcointalk offers, and the thick-skinned Admin who basically allows people to call him whatever they want. Not many forums do that.

I like the free flow of information and exchange of opinions. I like the freedoms we have, but I don't like the freedoms given to proven scammers. I like that you can be pro or anti anything, and you won't be silenced or shown the way out. Unless you break forum rules in the process. You can praise, criticize, make fun of, attack, or cry to theymos and nothing will happen to you. Btw, any ETA on My 30 questions for theymos?

I like that it doesn't count post 'edited' if you edit just after posting the comment/topic.
I don't really know to what extent of a hysteria posters will be thrown into if all signature campaigns make it a criteria to qualify eligible posts. Those edited will be disqualified. I believe it will cause the type of panic introduction of the merit system caused. I like that many people here get paid to participate.
Bitcointalk is literally known for that, I wouldn't call it 'minor thing'. Don't be too certain that those outside this forum know that. I didn't know there was a forum one could make posts and get paid until I stumbled onto this form.
Something I find minor but glad it happens is when I see forum members extend hands of fellowship and help to others, especially when focused and hardworking posters who are in need of merits are helped to rank up. It gladdens my heart.

good question, I don't even know what to answer, let me to think about it. I like that forum is simple and in general it didn't changed much since days when satoshi was there. Partially, it's disadvantage that forum is a bit outdated, but there is no some fancy shit like on other forums what isn't not needed at all IMO. And merit system, I won't lie, it's good feeling when you get merit. I don't like the way Reddit (or any social media nowadays) shows information: a computer decides what's most likely to keep your attention on the page (and maximize profits from advertising). I prefer to choose what to read on my own.
You told exactly what I'm thinking. In reddit and social networks like Facebook best content is supposed to be on the top. But in the end, it's not best, but most popular content. And if there is many comments under post, yeah, you'll see top comments, but it's very likely that you will miss many good comments. This is why I prefer chronological order.

Don't be too certain that those outside this forum know that. I didn't know there was a forum one could make posts and get paid until I stumbled onto this form.
After the 2017 ICO craze, I think that somewhat changed. Even if it isn't from signature campaigns a lot of users now signing up seem to be bounty hunters, which is predominately about earning money whichever way they can, even if they don't consider the project worth it, they seem to sign up anyway. There's a ton of bots that just sign up to every single bounty. So, I do think the reputation for Bitcointalk is that you can earn a decent amount of money here. Obviously, it's hard to know for sure, since we've all been here a long time, and therefore it's hard to disconnect from that, and figure out the outside perception. We'd probably find articles suggesting you can earn money here though. but there is no some fancy shit like on other forums what isn't not needed at all IMO.
Discourse nearly got it right. It's fairly easy to add additional content to it, but the default implementation has too much fancy crap going on, which ultimately makes me hating the software. If you aren't aware what Discourse is, it's probably one of the most popular forum software in recent years. I've got to use it with certain forums, since I need answers now, and again. Like I said though, I don't find this forum software too outdated. It does the job, without anything annoying me too much. What I would love to see is two factor authentication, just for peace of mind. Would need to be implemented correctly though, which would be a concern.

Well, why not? If it is specified in the company signature rules that edited messages will not be accepted, then participants always have the opportunity to preview and verify. This is a kind of draft. I checked and pressed the submit button. What is the problem? In addition, there are cases of incorrect quoting. In this case, when sending a report to the moderators, the post will be deleted. But if people check everything that they write, there will be no such incidents either.

We'd probably find articles suggesting you can earn money here though. To be honest with you, I'm yet to find any article in that light. Even, search engines don't bring up this forum as a site one could earn from and I don't know why it's that way. As long as I know ( I'm sure others also know it) this forum is about the only legitimate social media site where people post and get paid. ~snipped~
Well, why not? If it is specified in the company signature rules that edited messages will not be accepted, then participants always have the opportunity to preview and verify. I don't have any problem if campaigns make it a rule of thumb to jettison any posts that's edited from qualified posts. The only side effect is that we will begin to get more seemingly unreadable posts fraught with errors because those who discover their mistakes after posting them won't want to correct them once the five minutes window before it reflects that it has been edited has elapsed.

I love to speak freely in this forum. no matter who I talk to. and I like it when other people don't find out who I am. That's what makes me comfortable here. and my greatest appreciation in this bitcointalk forum is that. free to talk to each member without having to get acquainted first.
We don't know each other here, but it feels strangely familiar. we don't even hesitate to express our opinion.
In the physical world we need to get to know each other and become familiar to be able to freely express opinions to each other. but here we are free to have opinions without having to know each other and strangely feel still familiar. my appreciation for that.

<snip> I came after a genius left,VOD <snip>
That was one of the goofiest posts I've read in a long time--so much so that I think it deserves merits. I must warn you, however, that I'm not one to mistake post length with post quality. Keep that in mind since I'm periodically reviewing your post history for you. Speaking of things I appreciate about the forum, humor is one of them and it doesn't seem like there's been a lot of it lately, at least in the sections I frequent. Granted, bitcointalk has never been a forum infused with laughs, but there was a time when members like TMAN, Lauda, and others would drop bombs on people and hilarity usually ensued. Even some of the more persistent trolls like cryptohunter were funny in their own way (but goddamn I'm happy he's gone), or weirdos like Fwdxlsh, mammabitcoin2u, and that strange dude who would write English in such a strange way and say things like "I am the PRO LOANDER of this place". Anyone remember the name of that member? His posts were always, always funny. Gleb Gamow and MPOE-PR as well, and they're both gone. My point is, whether writing in witty or biting English or just spewing gibberish, there were members who used to make their presence known just by writing entertaining stuff. Nowadays? Eh. Meh. Bleh.

What baffles me is that some actually made it into signature or bounty campaigns. Like this guy that could create a deity coin out of thin air. Bitgert is nonsense compare to shiba inu, Bitgert marketcap just passed that of safemoon but that's it I don't see how bitgert will catch up to shiba success so far and if I have to go for one it will be shiba inu.
Yes Shiva Inu has a lot of good potential but it is unknown to many about bitgart the exact potential of this site cannot be given. Therefore you have to go ahead and check the sites.

I believe it will cause the type of panic introduction of the merit system caused. I don't see any point in it. We have ways to check what the original content looked like. Sometimes there is a type or a grammatical mistake you don't notice the first time you preview your post. And then when someone quotes you or you read your post a few hours later, you notice a mistake. Editing it isn't bad in anyway. I have often done it.

As long as signature campaign managers are doing their due diligence before accepting someone onto their campaign, then it really isn't an issue. Ideally, they should already be hiring quality posters, and editing is something that we all do. Plus, I doubt many users abuse the ten minute period, since they would've just posted whatever they edited to in the first place. It's mainly used for correcting mistakes, since reading your post after the preview I find highlights more mistakes, not completely sure why that's the case, but I guess it's just sod's law.

Distancing yourself a bit from the post and coming back to it later with a clear mind helps. While you are writing, you have the ideas and expressions in your head. It all sounds right and logic in your mind, but you might be writing it down wrongly or making silly mistakes that you don't notice at first because you repeat the story differently in your mind. If you think about something completely irrelevant to your post and you come back to it to check what you wrote, it's like a completely different perspective or a new set of eyes.

Yeah, I know Discourse, I use several forums with this software. I also like IPS Focus forums. But IMO, things which fits for other forums, it doesn't neccessarily will work well on Bitcointalk. Especially when forum moves to new software, such things almost never happens smoothly. After such changes it happens often that some old content aren't displayed properly. Bitcointalk software may be outdated,but it works well in general. But fact that in 2022 we still don't have 2FA is sad.

I've often wondered why other discussion forums don't adopt that model, even if it's just for traffic.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's because other forums consider spam as a problem to be solved, rather than as something to be actively encouraged because "muh freeze peach". Remember what I'm paying you guys for! ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) Foxxy, if I write here the thought I have in my head after clicking on that link, you might then require an IQ test for the Cycling Club team--so I'm not gonna write it. Suffice to say, I am content to eat my words and my hat and hope that we're still cuddlebuddies. I've got so much retard in my head, it's laughable. What baffles me is that some actually made it into signature or bounty campaigns. Like this guy that could create a deity coin out of thin air.
I don't have any data to look at--or know where to find any, for that matter--but I'm assuming that right now there's a very high demand for campaign/bounty participants, so it's almost like 2015 where you just check the Services section, apply, and *boom* you're in. For those of you who weren't here in 2015, Yobit had a strong presence, as did Secondstrade, both of which would basically accept anybody into their campaigns. I'm not even sure if they had a limit as to how many participants they accepted. And man, if you'd saved everything you'd earned by being in one of those for a year or two, you'd be strollin' round yo nebbahood like a pimp-ass boss righaboutnow. Yobit paid 30k sats/post IIRC and you could make 10 posts/day. If anyone knows the actual numbers on that, please feel free to check me, but that's what I remember.

I like the fact that it has remained intact since the beginning. Nothing has changed since I first joined in 2014, and even if you look way back, there were minimal changes. It's minimal, functional, and loads quickly. That's its beauty. It didn't have to modernize itself. I like that many people here get paid to participate. What other website can you make a post from the toilet and earn a few dollars? It's a shame that the quality of content isn't taken into account in these payout structures, but it's still a cool thing. Granted, it could be improved upon a great deal and benefit more users if it were managed by the forum, but it's still the reason a majority of posts are made here and that keeps things humming along as the information base continues to grow and gives users a chance to support projects and products here by purchasing them with funds from forum participation.
It's certainly the only forum I've seen featuring such an opportunity. However, posting quality has severely improved after the merit system was introduced. Those lacking merit couldn't rank up and were rarely accepted into decent campaigns. The altcoin discussion board is more prone to spam posts. My best guess is that it is due to the abundance of bounty campaigns being offered. I don't really know to what extent of a hysteria posters will be thrown into if all signature campaigns make it a criteria to qualify eligible posts. Those edited will be disqualified. I believe it will cause the type of panic introduction of the merit system caused.
As long as signature campaign managers are doing their due diligence before accepting someone onto their campaign, then it really isn't an issue. Ideally, they should already be hiring quality posters, and editing is something that we all do. Plus, I doubt many users abuse the ten minute period, since they would've just posted whatever they edited to in the first place. It's mainly used for correcting mistakes, since reading your post after the preview I find highlights more mistakes, not completely sure why that's the case, but I guess it's just sod's law. I recently created a thread abusing the edit function. As long as you do not post bursts of gibberish in an attempt to edit your posts later, you'll be fine. Myself included, have edited posts well after the 10 minute grace period, either because I found a grammar mistake which I hadn't seen beforehand, or because I forgot to add a tiny bit of information. I am not going to alter the whole meaning of the post, nor will I edit its content a whole day after its creation, but a few minutes after posting it is fine.

Love the disciplinary nature of this forum (not sure if it is major or minor) but i really appreciate that. and i see because of it many forum members are really working hard to meet up to standard, both in view of things and the post content. And i appreciate the simplicity of the forum, user friendly for newbies and old timers.
