Getting paid for signature space?

You can only get upto a max of 14 activity points per two week period. The next period starts on June 10th. The following will be a timetable for you providing you make the required posts:

1 X 14 = 14 You are here now
2 X 14 = 28
3 X 14 = 42 Jnr Member [June 24th]
4 X 14 = 56
5 X 14 = 70 Member [July 22nd]
6 X 14 = 84
7 X 14 = 98
8 X 14 = 112
9 X 14 = 126 Full Member [sept 16th]

I'm a bit confused because your numbers indicate earning 14 activity per ONE week (but in your commentary you say it's a TWO week period). Which is it?

Each period is roughly 2 weeks long, or more precisely 1210000 seconds long (14 days 6 minutes 40 seconds).

I don't think they change exactly two weeks of you being active. They follow a schedule, I registered and got 14 activity and days later, after I post it increase to 28 activity. It isn't exactly two weeks but you have to be active during that period of last activity increase to the time of new activity increase.

trust me you need to post a grip to get any btc around on this forum.

And thats if those posts are approved, which most dont go through since its counted as spam.

That's true most have to be constructive. which is very hard to meet the minimum amount for that month. It's only a little bit of Bitcoin but anything is better than nothing really.

So is there an easy to know threshold of what's considered spam vs. constructive? Would this question/post be considered spam even though I'm asking a genuine question?

It depends on the campaign. I think a lot of OPs from sig campaigns are pretty liberal about what is constructive. Generally speaking the post must contribute to the conversation in some way. Other campaigns have more restrictions as to what is considered "constructive"

So it takes 3 months to be a full member.

You should realy re-consider is it realy worth getting into this in the first place.
Since you need your member rank to upgrade, you need alot of time, and campaigns are paid in bitcoin, which is going down, and prolly will continue to go down in the following months, you could end up getting far less than you originaly thought ure gonna get.
Hope u make the right call, and earn, but i just dont see it happening through sig. campaigns.

But people come to forums for discussion even when there is zero financial incentives.
IMHO, we should consider the sig campaign payment some sort of bonus rather than a job.

There is nothing set in stone. Most campaign managers reserve the right to make their own decisions regarding this, so when in doubt, do not pad your post count. Some are explicit; my campaign, for instance, urges members to make 3+ sentences per post to be considered constructive.

A lot of people agree that it needs to be on topic and adding to discussion to be considered constructive I often have to reduce non constructive posts of mine from the total.

One way to know the campaign managers' requirements for "constructive posts", is to check the posts of those getting denied for sig payment.

For example, Stunna denied 6 persons' sig payments last month. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=291387.msg7916455#msg7916455

That's a good reference actually and I didn't see that when stunna posted it but in general my explanation is suited as those members who were denied did abuse and basically post 1 sentence and most of them were in giveaway threads.

I'll get my sig done soon, it dosent pay much but if your already posting then you might as well earn btc for it.

[ranochigo]

It isn't fully right, since you can easily earn 0.1 by posting only 50 post a month, you can get that much by spending a few minutes on this forum per day. Also, if you post a lot more, try pay per post campaigns as they pay more for each post. If you do not have a job, you can earn a small amount by just posting on this forum. I don't see this can be a bad choice.

It used to be like that, but now the caps for those pay-per-post campaigns are much lower than before.
For example, the cap for PD sig payment was 2.4 btc per month and it is now just 400 posts per month.
And IIRC, Stunna said the campaign will no longer be pay-per-post next period.

0.4 BTC per month for full members is still a lot for simply posting on a forum; no other online community does that. Besides, it's very hard to post more than 400 constructive posts per month, those who made more than that are likely to have included a considerable number of unconstructive posts.

[jjc326]

Check out my sig.  I'd recommend them because they pay weekly and pay for some posts upfront.  I think that is the gold standard that all sig campaigns should shoot for.  Sure, Stunna has such a good rep he doesn't need to do that but for the newer ones, you can't beat lunamine.  (no spots currently but you can try every week).

[pissedoff]

I agree that if you are posting a lot anyway then you might as well get paid a little and help a Bitcoin business get a lot of traffic and people using their service.

Yeah, people were posting a lot before paid signatures became common.

So you're counting your posts for Primedice? They don't do it for you?

I'm awaiting my first payment from 777 and still new to how the tracking of the post counts work. For example, I had 100 posts in the first week but wasn't clear on when the count rolls over again.

Yup, Stunna cannot possibly count 100++ participants worth of post within a few days. By the user counting it, Stunna can just quickly look through the post and count non constructive post and he can check if the report of constructive post is the same as the actual one.

Stunna (owner of PD) mentioned that participants should count the number of constructive posts and enter it, or Stunna will do it for you.

3. On the 17th if you've reached the minimum requirement of 50 posts, send me a PM letting me know how many constructive posts you made, please deduct any non-constructive posts from this number, otherwise I will have to do so myself.

He probably removed it, if not everyone would just submit their username for counting. Since the campaign have over 100++ participants, he can't count all of them. It is better to count the post as it lessen the burden for Stunna.
