Note: If bitcoin drops constantly below $200 I think would be a time to re-evaluate the rates.

Annnd to sub 200 we go. No excuses now, time to raise those rates. Im afraid we will keep going down for a long time. We are under WORLDWIDE PANIC right now, everything is fucking plummeting. Lets try to help people here getting some cheap Bitcoins during this period of time, who knows, maybe lives are being saved in the future. Maybe after the halving we will never see prices this low again, it's time to collect and to compensate people here for supporting Bitcoin even during the hardest times.

One thing to keep in mind is that signature campaign owners are not required to create these campaigns and pay users. The fact they do gives us an ability to earn a bit of extra money on the side, in a productive manner.

If your entire income is based on signature campaigns, you really need to re-evaluate your life to be honest.

I know people living in shitty places that are making a living thanks to signature campaigns. High unemployment, low payrates, 3rd world standard of living. Some have enough good english to keep making good posts and make more of what they could make working some slavery job. The importance of the signature campaigns is underrated, they save lives. Someone with good english and a computer in Peru that has a Hero account can be making above average monthly income. Signature campaigns are one of the main tools to distribute Bitcoin around the world to all kinds of people.

I would not mind at all higher payments. But what I get is good enough to keep me in.

bitmixer.io pays up to (max) 0.035 BTC / week (50 posts * BTC0.0007 each). BTC0.035 * 4 = $28.00 (at $200 / Bitcoin) per month is well under even Peru's minimum wage (I understand it does not take too much time to post 50 times if you are "working"), and yes, it is profitable for smart participants in developing countries at those rates, it is still fairly small change.

Even in Peru. Annual GNP/capita in Peru is over $2000. $28.00 * 12 is nice, but only affects a very small number there.

Other countries and other signature campaigns may have different mileage!
