How do you stop signature spam when paid signatures are allowed? There are money-making forums and guides that encourage registering on here and posting simply as a way to earn an income online. While that $3 a day or whatever signature posters get paid may seem insignificant to some, it is pretty enticing to people in some parts of the world (eg. official minimum wage throughout India varies from $2.40 to $6.35 per day; and there are many places with lower wages than that). Multiply that $3 by several accounts, and they've got a a pretty good thing going for them.

That is very interesting. Can anyone else here verify whether this is true (I'm a skeptic by nature)?

If this is true, I'm very happy that bitcoin is providing a real source of income. But that doesn't excuse lazy shitposters by any means. I'm not saying that. If that's a day's wage, they should put some serious effort into their posts. But I really like the idea of Indians being able to earn that much by sig campaigns. It almost warms my ~~blackened, dead~~ heart. This is what bitcoin is supposed to be about, a global thing.

Here's a Wikipedia list of minimum wages by country: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minimum_wages_by_country
