There was some periods when I didn't had enough time for Bitcointalk and I was struggling to find good topics to reply something and I thought about leaving signature campaign. But it was temporary feelings. As said above, we have great opportunity to earn some money when we do what we like and it would be stupid to miss it.
@actmyname, you have valid points. But obviously advertisers want more visibility and this is why these requirements are needed - probably such campaign structure is the most effective.

I don't know, there's nothing preventing me to join another signature campaign if I feel like it, the owner of my last campaign even mentioned to me that he'll let me join again if I ask him. Nothing lost there...

Now, I'd probably want to join Chipmixer actually, since their model looks really neat without those minimum post requirements, but there's close to 100 people gunning for that position once they accept new members.

Anyway, it's not something that's on my mind now, I'm just going to enjoy my time off for now and focus on doing some other stuff on the forum. I'm spending way more time on my Steem blog now, which I really enjoy doing.

A unique topic on signatures I have read so far in the whole board from 1.5 year of stay. I have been constantly participating in signatures till last year, but recently even during the pump periods I don't find them really interesting as it was last year. Even if they pay me anywhere around $50-$100 I feel like I am being forced to post certain minimum amount of posts to fit the criteria. This was the sole reason, I have distanced myself from bitcoin campaigns till December 2018.

But after the insane line-up of scam coins in the market, I felt like I should never promote any altcoin through my signature. Majority of the altcoin campaigns have a 10 post limit which is really good for somewhat better poster like me. As I have said in many topics before, I don't post like others do (posting in a row, saying the same shit which is present already) and would most probably limit myself within 10 posts from the OP. I may have been more active than the active posters here who joined during my time, but the limit of posting I have set upon has prevented me from gaining any higher posts.

For instance majority of the quality posters who joined during end of 2017 or at the start of 2018 has posted more than 1000+ posts within a year, but I am still lagging at 700. I spend around 5+ hours here daily at varying time frames but would post a maximum of 1-3 posts. To the contrary I have been kicked from many campaigns for not maintaining the post count nor posting in the desired boards. If I were to be like as I was during Jan 2018, I would have spammed 25 one-liners for $1 per week. But the change this forum has brought in me, has made me get rid of money even how high they may be.

There had been many instances when I was at 23 posts with 3 posts in gambling at the last date of the payment week. So to receive the $50 payment the next day I should post 2 more in gambling to finish up the quota, but I didn't do that and informed the manager to kick me out of the campaign since I was not able to finish up the minimum criteria. If we are to post in this forum solely for receiving money, then we can not qualify ourselves as a respected poster even how good your posts are.

P.S : That being said, thanks for using the signature which I designed. Think it like satoshi is paying you for promoting bitcoin.

Sorry in advance for quoting this entire reply, but you make some really good points.

Yeah that's the thing, I'm not a big fan of the current model of most campaigns. I've already mentioned it, but they should really look more at your existing posts and also give you the option to just post without minimum post requirements. I mean a member who has a couple of really popular, constantly relevant topics is worth a lot more than someone who just posts 25 times per week (or whatever the number is).

I've never understood the appeal of these various altcoin bounty campaigns, I've never even bothered with those. You constantly see posts in the Altcoin boards of how "bounty hunters are getting screwed". Honestly, I kinda laugh at those topics, because it's so easy to avoid getting screwed. Just don't participate... it's as easy as that.

And yeah, requirements to post in specific boards are also very annoying. Luckily I've never joined campaigns that had such requirements, that's something I just won't do.

About that signature you've created, it's a really neat placeholder until I find something different, you've done a really good job with that. Actually, I might just hire you to design a personal signature for me, possibly one for Steem, which I'd just use to promote it for free Wink

What's a sig campaign?

I think there are far better things that you can do with your signature, other than promoting products that most people don;t understand and don't use. Your sig says something about your personality and your morality, but most siggers don't seem to care about this.

Hehe, how long have you been without a signature? Or have you never even had one? I see you're always very active here, so that's a great example of how you can really thrive here without taking advantage of the so called "free money".

On an unrelated note, I might just start promoting my own publishing service here soon. I've been getting paid to write honest reviews on my Steemit blog for close to a year now, so I've built up a pretty decent portfolio with great reviews from customers. I'm a member of an "influencer agency", which gives me gigs from time to time, but I reckon I can just get customers myself through Bitcointalk.

It's always better to add some new business here on Bitcointalk, I think that keeps the in-forum economy going too. Now it's very much reliant on Signature Campaigns, but people tend to forget that there are other thriving businesses here.
