All assuming that ChipMixer keeps the current rates, doesn't boot out any members, etc.

I'll repeat the same thing that all members should know intrinsically: signature campaigns are not a job. You are contracted to do work and you can be removed from the campaign at any time. Do not think of them as stable income, because you will start slowly incentivizing yourself to reduce your post quality in return for temporary bitcoin payments. Just take a look at what happens when you think long-term about short-term prospects, like the YoBit campaign.

Well you have a point, signature campaigns are nice way to earn money for as long as the contract allows it, to consider it a job is not prudent.

As with Yobit the standards dropped immensely and people were posting all over the place to earn signature fees including at least one that claimed he knew Yobit was a scam but he did not mind promoting them because he was getting paid and also because any victims deserved to lose money because they were incompetent enough to get scammed by believing the unbelievable offers Yobit was making.

A flip side is that you only have to look at not so recent behaviour by some members of a particular language board that threw lots of abuse at other members because they were constantly overlooked for this campaign. With the amount of money being offered through the campaign it would probably amount to more than their monthly wages in some cases but still a standard of posting should be upheld regardless.

And you rightly pointed out Chipmixer could at any point reduce the number of participants but did ever stop their campaign for a 3-6 month period to see how it was affecting their business on their website? I guess the only way to know if a signature campaign is working the way it should is by having a form of marker to hold it up against.

Frankly, I'm surprised that they haven't changed anything yet!

It seems the figures involved are mind-boggling.

Looking at up to ₿0.0375 per week x 59 participants = ₿2.2125 per week overall.

So it is costing Chipmixer around ₿8.85 a month or between ₿106 - ₿115 per year depending on method of calculation.

The majority of campaigns pay in USD$ in order to protect their BTC holdings which is understandable but for any campaign to be paying around $4 million per year - these are astronomical figures.
