Overview of Bitcointalk Signature-Ad Campaigns [Last update: 24-Apr-2018]
The first signature campaign in this thread:

The second topic:

But then 284 pages of this topic moved to the Archive, since Mitchell (staff) generally wanted to remove this part.
However, these pages were saved in the Archive.

The project started In June 2014. Newbies could participate in the signature campaign.
Then there were several historical moments:
Earlier partition in the signature campaign was paid very little : )
Payout table
Bounties
It needs to say that in the early years of this forum the definition of "bounty" was somewhat different than it is now. It was a reward in the BTC, that people offered for doing different jobs.
The first topic about the bounty is Bitcoin Security Bounty 07/21/2010
There was a suggestion that it is desirable: "offer bounty (reward) to security researchers to improve the security and decentralization of the bitcoins network and software."
But a reward was offered earlier. For example in this message in which the user wanted to receive commercial tools. It is a message from an anonymous user who could write on the forum without registering.

Need a Volunteer [5 BTC Bounty]
In 2013, CaptChadd offered a reward not in bitcoins, but in those coins that he created.
I think it was the first bounty case with an alternative coin.
(Bounty Offered) 25,000 BQC For Windows QT Client Changes
June 17, 2018 coin price (CMC) $0,000458 USD
This person created several projects and did not have time for all of them.
His second thread:
[Bounty Offered) 10,000 Mincoin for Windows QT Client
June 17, 2018 coin price (CMC) $0,038532 USD
In 2015, the person lost the password from the wallet in which there were 106 BTC. He offered 6 BTC for the help.

One of the oldest and longest
PrimeDice was only limited to Staff at the end of the campaign when it was winding down. At first it was open to everyone. I don't believe they were the first either, but probably the one who popularised it and was certainly one of the longest running. They were also the first campaign I saw on the forum and also joined.

Then there were several historical moments:
- In June 2014 for the first time the signature campaign turned out to be the scam UpDown.BT Signature Campaign SCAM
- One of the first tables with payments to participants
- I think this is the first signature campaign of the manager yahoo62278 of September 8, 2014.
- There were a lot of projects related to sports betting and gambling. One of the first resources who wanted a subscription on Twitter and Facebook was [DiceBitco.in | BE THE BANK ! | 1% House Edge]. As I understand it is a project from Russia. Signature campaign budget was 5.3 BTC
Earlier partition in the signature campaign was paid very little : )

This is great.I offered a bounty in another thread to get merchant tools coded but it seems like you are off and running with this effort.I hope everyone sends some coins in appreciation. .

In the thread More forum sections needed? for the first time sounded a proposal from sirius to create a separate section for the bounty campaigns.
Should we have a "Project development" section where you can talk about organization, bounty campaigns, advertising etc.? Any other name ideas? "Workshop" or "Project organization"?
