What's more lucrative - mining or high rank signature campaign?

[adaseb]

If you are paying a large amount for electricity then you are better off just posting. But either way its not alot of money. I make like $10 a week or so.

Pretty much pays my cell phone bill.

[rapsaodan84]

How can you compare that? of course it depends on too many factors like the miners you own, electricity, how many posts you make.

[ZuZ]

Well, signature campaigns are much more profitable than cloud mining, because you'll just get scammed with cloud mining.

I wish I had your cell phone bill then.  I do it for fun.  Having a signature provides money or items for a little fun.   I have done campaigns for coins was fun.  Now I'm doing for BTC.   

I can say my mining brings more yield.  But it is less now I will say I was around 12000 Watts + during winter of mining gear.  Worked out nice.  But campaigns have been fun too.

Briefly, what exactly is a signature campaign?
Not sure how that works, looks like you sell your user reputation here by allowing
ads to be posted at the bottom of your forum comments?

I have some miners, I know how that works. 2 x Terraminer IV's running about
3-3.2 TH/s constantly over the course of the past year + 367 days has yielded around 32BTC.
Power is about 1850W each, so 3700W for the pair. Figure what you pay for that, plus
whatever you pay for internets. I think I calc'd  BTC needs to hit about $1500 or so USD in order
for me to break even.
On the other hand, its a certain amount of entertainment and does my part to help the cause.

Briefly, what exactly is a signature campaign?  You have a signature space (size/features depending on rank).  You basically advertise for a company and make a little.

It hard to say!
Mining is long way, you should spend large money to buy mining machines and pay electricity.
While high rank signature campaign is all about lucky.

I would not say it's all about luck.  Just that it takes time.  With activity level only changing on certain intervals it keeps someone from spamming to a high level.

It  does take years on some ranks.  I am almost to hit two year mark myself.

Consider the da dice signature campaign on the other hand. If you were to buy a senior account for .3 (there are few sellers that will sell for this little however if you lurk in the digital goods section long enough you will probably be able to find sellers who will sell at this price) then you could buy four low level senior accounts for the same 1.2 btc that you spent on the S5. With the da dice campaign paying .0013 per post up to 100 posts per week, you could make .13 per week per account, or ~.52 per month per senior account. Multiply that times four accounts and you could make roughly 2 btc per month for ~1600 posts. Not only that but you could earn an additional .6 btc per month by winning the most constructive posts contest of .15 per week so your total earnings potential would be 2.68 btc per month from a 1.2 btc investment. Not only that but the value of your accounts should increase over time as they accumulate activity points and potentially rank up to hero status. Your risk however is that making that many posts may result in the temptation to make a lot of shitty posts which would result in your accounts getting banned which would stop your signature campaign revenue. This also obviously does not take into account the value of your time that you spend posting, however if you are interested in bitcoin this might not matter.

Tl;dr signature campaigns.

This looks only good in your description, the reality is a bit different.
-The future of sig campaigns is uncertain. They could disappear just like that and your investment into accounts along with it.
-If you get caught buying a Sr. account you may get negative trust and this will automatically ban you from most campaigns.
-It's not that easy to join a well paid sig campaign with 3 accounts and some campaigns don't even allow it.
-To get that much from Dadice the user would have to write 300 constructive posts a week (1200 a month). You'd have to treat it like a full time job and chances of getting banned would be very high.
-A ban in this case can be compared to all your miners catching fire at the same time
-To get a weekly bonus you'd have to write at least 150 posts each week, so your monthly post count would grow by another 200.

Unless you have this:



Mining is a suckers game at any tier or level, but especially if you don't have a good hosting/asic manufacturer bulk deal.

I'll take high rank sig campaign anyday....get paid a few bucks for typing a few intelligent lines, sign me up!

What's going to get you to 25 BTC faster, mining or dedication to a signature campaign with a high rank (Sr Member or Hero)?

Maybe the better question is how long does it take for a miner to get their first block reward (of 25 BTC)? I can figure out the breakeven on the sig campaigns.






His question was not which makes more profit but which will get him to 25BTC faster. So mining is the only logical answer as a person can achieve that in a day or faster with a high enough hash rate. There is no sig campaign that will pay out 25BTC in a days ( or in a month)  time even if you could post enough.

So unless he wants to give more information and or refrase the question, mining is the correct answer.

In reality, wrong to both mining and sig campaigns.  This is the correct answer 11 times out of 10:




You cannot just say mining BTC to get to 25 BTC like you have unlimited budget to spend to throw at mining.  So that's 100% wrong to begin with.  You can't say I'll just eat a million dollar loss due to hosting, electrical, cooling and paying off mining partners/workers, but I'll mine a block in a day!

Well, this all depends on how you go about it right.

If you outsource your writing work to kids in india, paying them $2.50 set of xyz # of accounts.

But, this is based on if a signature even survives, most of them end up dieing out unless its a well known site like primedice etc.

Yup, 25 BTC you cannot earn anymore. You need to buy those or be very lucky with trading and speculations.

I would not say can not.  Just that it takes a BIG investment.  25 BTC is a lot of money even at low price of BTC today.

Let's see, with the sig campaign I'm doing it would take ten months to earn 1.4 BTC, so ~150 months (12 years) to earn 25 btc. (Providing they continue to exist or pay out the same rate or I don't get drunk and shoot my mouth off and get b& lol.)
To mine 25 btc with one hardware purchase you would need around 100 TH/s to do it in a month and get a head on the diff increases. Maybe 50 TH/s might get you there if you run them longer, but it is the law of diminishing returns. I mean, if you had 1 TH/s it would earn ok for a month or two but it would be useless after six and you still wouldn't have anywhere near 25 btc

I just thought of the idea of posting 60x a month for 12 years, and now I need a drink!

sig campaign can make you much more than 1.4 in ten months(which seems very low actually), just post more, it is possible in theory to reach 3 btc month with sig campaign, better than any cloud mining or hw mining, but you need all day for that

mining is more relax i think and i like it more actually, sadly it isn't profitable anymore

[GigaBit]

I also wonder this...
Mining would likely be the easier of the two.
However, to make any kind of money mining you need cheap or free power.
Even at that, your upfront investment would be quite significant.
Signature campaigns, I never really knew there was money in it but someone puts enough time could make some serious cash.
I'd have no qualms taking money from a casino or what not...
I make good $$ mining but not something I could live off of.
Good info to read in here...

[philipma1957]

  I post a lot 300 or more a month.
 I posted  a lot before signature campaigns existed.
I posted a lot on other sites.
I have done close to 6000 posts here
I have done 20,000 posts to online forums since 2006.

So if I really push I can do 750 posts per month. I won't push.

I usually do 500 posts per month on this site.

So at 0.0013 x 500 = 0.65 btc x 12 = 7.8 btc in 1 year  so say 6 to 8 btc in a year.

Now mining is a completely  different game prediction  of what I can earn is impossible in the long term.  I need to know price/diff

I can spend 10kwatts an hour in the winter.  at 10 cents a kwatt   that is 20 th

I can spend   2kwatts an hour in the summer. at 18 cents a kwatt  that is 4th

right now in the summer it is barely  worth mining
