Regarding Betcoin.ag:
Is this how a signature campaign ends?
We do not get paid for the last month and then they shut down their thread and disappear from the signature campaign list?
I guess that is the risk of joining such an endeavor, but did not receive any kind of notice that the betcoin.ag campaign was going to be discontinued or that we were not getting paid for our July posts.
I would like to provide a follow-up to my earlier post. I just received my payment for the month of July; however, there were a few reasons that a few days ago, I was skeptical about whether I was going to get paid or whether Betcoin.ag may have abandoned the signature campaign.
Apparently, according to betcoin.ag, one of the bitcointalk mods had locked the thread, and the betcoin.ag signature campaign manager had not signed in to bitcointalk for a couple of weeks. I had also had a problem with one of my transactions on the betcoin.ag site - that was subsequently resolved.
Anyhow, I do not proclaim to be a betcoin.ag fanboy, even though I have been in the campaign for about a year and a half and I have only had a couple of incidents in which my payment was delayed by a few days, but they had been paying ontime for the vast majority of the 21 stages of their campaign. I think that they had gotten an asteriks next to their name based on issues with the administration of the site rather than whether bitcointalk members were receiving signature campaign payments, and I believe that overall the betcoin.ag managers have been clearly communicating with sig campaign participants.
Of course, mods here may have their reasons that they are not currently listing betcoin.ag and also that they had continued to chose to place a red asteriks next to the name, which may be partly based on some of the other onsite controversy that had been batted around in various threads about a year ago.
