You are very correct, there was sure a time, (I think in 2021 or so), my business wasn't doing well and I needed to earn some extra money badly to support the business, at the time, I've been in and out of several shitcoin paying signature campaigns that made me zero profit, I needed to join a bitcoin paying signature campaign, and at the time, 1xbit signature campaign was the only one that had the"open" status, looking at all the 1xbit campaign participants with their orange tags, I was on a cross road, I wondered within my self, how can I on purpose get an orange tag when it's not like i scammed someone, and neither did I ever intend to, I thought about how much I could possibly make from 1xbit campaign and have my account destroyed, and how much I could make from other campaigns in the future when 1xbit campaign is no more, and if my account remain clean - after giving this some serious thought, I changed my mind on applying on the 1xbit campaign, I waited and after 2 weeks or so, a new bitcoin paying signature campaign launched, and I applied and got accepted..

I think many of this users promoting 1xbit and destroying their reputation by doing so, is due to lack of proper thinking and patience.

This is a wonderfully articulated post which basically captures the essence of good vs evil in a manner of speaking.

You could have chosen the shortcut route by applying to join the 1xbit signature campaign (and you most probably would have been selected) but you knew right from wrong and you saw the benefits of the bigger picture even though you must have been under immense financial strain.

It is reading experiences such as these that should be setting the bar when members consider sacrificing the credibility of their accounts for the sake of short term income. I am glad you managed to join a signature campaign just a couple of weeks after the initial contemplation of joining 1xbit and I am equally happy your patience and perseverance paid dividends.

When it comes to money in general (and when related to this forum) I am in no doubt many members would join any campaign they want but the fear of being ostracised and then having their account rendered useless has stopped reputable members from participating in their signature campaigns.

True. Most of these scam sites(1xbit, Yobit etc) paid their participants handsomely which is why their signature campaigns attract a lot of attention, but the red trust risk stopped many from getting greedy.

Do you remember the time when Yobit signature campaigns were flooding the forum? It was a lot of hard work trying to discourage members from participating in their signature campaigns and then having to unfortunately tag accounts. Many forum members worked tirelessly voicing their opposition to Yobit and at some stage during the backlash they left the forum and have since not returned.

That was one example of the community getting together to try to minimise the impact of a scam outfit here.
