Overview of Bitcointalk Signature-Ad Campaigns [Last update: 19-Nov-23]

[pawel7777]

I don't remember the number of open campaigns being this low. A year ago there were so many of them that people were choosing and picking and posting about rates being too low or the rank requirements being too high. You could even get a campaign being a jr. or a member. Is the era of signature posting coming to an end?

Actually if you included non-bitcoin paying campaigns (ICO tokens), the number probably has never been higher.

But apart from ICOs, there seems to be a decline in active usage of cryptos (other than trading), which has impact on number of crypto related services and, in turn, on number of campaigns.

Other factor is the increase in spam and low-quality posts, which makes signatures less visible + most of the forum members are not really an attractive target group for advertisers.

But, iirc, we've seen worse than that, both in terms of number of active campaigns and payment rates - it's all about market finding the balance.

Yeah, number of Bitcoin paying campaigns is small currently. I remember in past we had much more campaigns and some users were just jumping between campaigns to get highest payments. I don't think that era of signature campaigns come to the end. But rules have changed a bit. Now mostly campaigns choose to pay in their own tokens, because it doesn't cost them anything to make some tokens from thin air, while Bitcoin paying campaigns is quite expensive to run.
One good thing when there are less Bitcoin paying campaigns - now they accept only decent posters.

Maybe an end because of this fucking signature campaign abuser. Not only for those rank but for all here in bitcointalk user that participate signature campaign.

If this abuse continues probably we will not get any reward or amount from that service.

Who are you talking about? I think there are plenty of abusers out there, but most can be found because they're dumb. Like this one

Some people are doing a great job negging sig abusers and linking their accounts.

I think that campaigns will recover when another bitcoin bull market starts but by that time we could be moving to a new forum.

I'm a 2017 freshman and I don't remember the number of actively recruiting campaigns being this low since I've joined. Of course you're on point about the ICOs, but they're not included in this thread and many people don't want to take additional risk of ending up with a worthless token.

I've joined this forum in 2016 and during those days a lot of the campaigns were paid in Bitcoin, even for ICO's, and also ICO's weren't always run on Ethereum but were simply altcoins (hence coin offering, not token offering). So, your explanation is correct, ICO people have figured out that they can just create shitcoins out of thin air and pay with them to bounty hunters.

New signature campaign paying bitcoin "PRIVCY Signature Campaign": https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5040642.msg46320057#msg46320057

But it looks like scam: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5040642.msg46321269#msg46321269

THIS IS A MASSIVE SCAM, THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PRIVCY. PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR THIS. BCT MODS, PLEASE DELETE THIS THREAD

It does seem like a scam, newbie who registered today with his first post being a signature campaign thread without any funds held by an escrow.

I won't be surprised if the campaign manager suddenly disappears after paying the participants after a week or two just to get their hopes up.

I could edit the latest table but i'll just leave it to Fatanut since he's still active.

There's nothing to update since Privcy campaign appears to be a fake campaign. Idk why someone would do that but possibly to put a bad repu to Privcy's name.

I'd say it's more likely some Privcy bag holder tries to extort >1 week of free advertising to hype the price up, dump his bags onto others and vanish without paying.

That was my first thought, too.  The OP of the sig campaign thread practically admitted it as well:

It is 100% real.  THIS CAMPAIGN IS BACKED BY A PRIVATE INVESTOR.

Cryptocurrency is decentralized, anyone can advertise bitcoin if they wish to, why is a third party not allowed to help advertise a coin they are heavily invested in?

What's really telling is all the spambies who just pop into that thread and apply for the campaign with out reading what's been going on, or doing any research about the project themselves.

@Mitchell or Fatanut: Nexybit has a few open slots.
