I admited that when I was noob, I often applied immediately when I saw bounties open up.
Before reading next lines, you should honest with you and answer the question:
"How much time do you often spend to read bounties' topic tittle?"
Read first, before applying, but in fact bounty hunters tend to applying first, before they read.
It's one of the worst thing you can do due to several reasons:
- Bounties have been filled up totally, mean that there is not open slot for new comers.
- Bounties have been paused by campaigns' owners.
- And other reasons.
In order to help noobs better understand the tittle of bounty topic, I quote the part below for you.
Please read it carefully to make sure that you understand the meanings of those acronyms.
Overview of Bitcointalk Signature-Ad Campaigns
The following abbreviations will be used for campaigns (where applicable):
| Campaigns: |
| Active | || | Currently active |
| PNYC | || | Payment not yet confirmed |
| FLUX | || | Campaign in flux between closed and accepting |
| CFNP | || | Closed for new participants |
Sometimes, you can see something different, like:
- Paused
- On Hold
- [FIN]: FinishedBoth of two means campaign has been on the situation and period in which campaign's owners need to reconsider about the results they got from campaigns, before making next decision to keep running it or totally stop.
Using which acronym depends on each manager, but these ones are the most popular acronym to describe bounties situation.
Please spend your little time to read those ones, steps by steps:
1> Topic tittle, that mostly disclose the current situation of bounties (mentioned above).
2> Read the information on which ranks are available.
3> Read the information on open slots.
4> Read information on earned merits required (most of
BTC paid campaigns ask some earned merits or earned merits in last 120 days to meet first requirements to apply.)
5> Trust requirements (most of campaign don't accept applicants have negative trusts.
If you find out there are chances for you from steps 1 to 3, let move to last 2 steps (4, and 5).
If you don't find out chances in steps 1 to 3, let skip steps 4, and 5, and move on to other bounties.
There is a topic, which give you active campaigns that paid in
BTC, remember that the topic is only for
BTC-paid campaigns.
So, you should not post anything relates to altcoins-paid campaigns in the topic.
