In my experience, most threads that are titled with a question, especially those that can be answered "yes or no" will not have a lot of meaningful discussion. Looking at the other threads you (I assume 0xmiau is you) posted in, I am not especially surprised you didn't receive a response.

I've chosen the replies where I can ask a good question that someone would reply (normally) and where it's not likely that while I'm typing another user submits a new comment. 0xmiau is me, I didn't want to confuse them if I make comments with 1miau there.

I had always assumed most signature spammers have at least a very basic understanding of bitcoin, but this is perhaps not true (anymore). Ever since I saw this thread, I have suspected some of the bounty hunter spammers are being paid by a third party, and the same forum account may not even be used by the same spammer from day to day. If someone does not even have a basic understanding of bitcoin/crypto currencies, they are not going to be able to engage in a conversation with you -- if they try they will look (more) stupid.

That's awesome, Nobel Prize for shitposting. Cheesy

Again looking at these users post history you can easy identify those shitposters (mainly posting because they are paid to) even though their post have some little sense to it, they just move around the forum replying in any board they find discussion they can contribute to but the average none shitposters post history are always similar in regards to boards and sometimes threads he/she posts in.

how does what they chose to post on an indication of being a "shitposter"? wouldnt it be more of the content of what they post? and isnt that what we are doing? moving the forum finding something we feel we can contribute to? and im a little confused are we speaking of the author being a shitposter or the commenter?

(sorry for the so many questions just trying to contribute Cheesy

)

I think CryptopreneurBrainboss means that they are searching threads where they can submit their low-quality posts without any effort, there are several topics like "will BTC die?", "when will the bear market end?", "when should I buy BTC?", "is gambling risky?" or similar.

Stake campaign has a really silly rule in that worsens this issue:

3 posts per thread maximum (you can of course do more but they won't count towards the campaign)

Yeah, that's when the campaign is managed by the project itself and they didn't bother to hire a professional manager. Cheesy

And you expect to have a meaningful conversion or even a reply each time you post something? Get real!

Of course not, in most cases that's not possible and I'm only going to respond if there is really need to do it. Same like if I start a new topic and ask for opinions, it's impossible to reply to all of them.

But, if you want to get replies, I'll give you a hint Tongue

Go to the alt section and look for topics that have very low views/post ratio, the bumping bots there would love some fresh blood

Yes maybe I will ask them "when moon?". xD
There are indeed some spammer services offering "real" questions (most likely because the "great project" spam posts are deleted immediately.)

BitcoinTalk Bump

$4.50

(max: 8/day)

Buy as many bitcointalk.org comments (bumps) as you wish, and provide us with the link to the ANN thread and the amount that we should do per day. No need to send the texts as well, but if you wish you can do that. A big advantage of these is that we usually ask questions. So if youre answering them, each bump will actually transform into two bumps.

Please dont buy less than 15 BitcoinTalk bumps. We waste a lot of time informing ourselves of the projects in order to formulate good texts.
