How to start bounties through bitcointalk without breaking any rules .
Should the address be send through PM ?

Regards,

If you are going to pay those bounties in altcoins and the bounty requires users to do something low effort (the bounty reminds more of a giveaway than providing an actual service; e.g. post a single or a couple of tweets, follow, like a Facebook page, etc.) then the signup for the bounty should be either off-site or via PM.

None. If you want images in that thread, you have to be of Jr. Member rank or higher.

Thanks for this list - it helps me understand what happened with my first post-attempt which ended up being multiple versions of that same post and hence DELETED. Now, I can say, I get it.

Added extra info in regards to rule 24 (said info was already within the rule's example though that's easy to miss):

24. Advertisements (including signatures within the post area) in posts aren't allowed unless the post is in a thread you started and is really substantial and useful.[9][e]

Q: I want to change my forum username. What should I do?
A: You can either donate 50 BTC to become a VIP or PM theymos asking to change your username (although he rarely accepts such requests nowadays).

Thanks for you listed Bitcointalk.org rules. But i think 50 BTC donate is very big for change form username.

The amount was fixed when Bitcoin was not worth much. But that amount won't change now.
The forum doesn't need donations; the advertisement revenue is substantial.

Hi folks, I'm just curious why this thread was moved to the service announcement child board:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1917806.0

It was originally posted in Altcoin Discussion.

As we aren't a service provider, would it be possible to have it moved back to the original location?

Many thanks!

Rick

Because it's an announcement of an external service. A "community driven digital film & tv studio" is still a service.

Certainly hope no-one needs to change their username. Or if they did in the past, I'm sure they kicking themselves now

There are limited, acceptable ways of posting a referral rink. The only way that I am aware, is when it is in response to a question asked.
So this is not acceptable in my opinion.

giving out some cryptos for free is forbidden?

Depends from where you are giving out. If you do that on a place which forbidden, it's not allowed. But if you do that on Games and rounds section, it's allowed

[mprep]

For altcoins, if that involves applying by posting a post on a thread (without any sort of substantial work attached, like providing a full translation of a big thread), then yes. Said rule is also stickied in both the Announcements (Altcoins) and Altcoin Discussion boards.

I feel the same. Thanks.

For example, if in a 14 day period you post 14 posts, you gain +14 activity.
If you post 2 posts in a 14 day period, you gain +2 activity.

mprep, is this process of earning activity outdated?
I was under the impression that if you post even once in a 14day period, you still gain +14 activity.
