Good advice op, but i think newbies are not aware of the Sig campaigns because when I was new here i was only interested in joining Bounty campaigns, and i always thought why these guys are putting these images, i never thought to join the Sig campaign because i thought its a work for high-class members and only the owners of this forum could hire those. (haha), well at the start i did not read many threads so, i had many wrong ideas about working on this forum.
Now, it depends on the OP, to which way, he/she wants to interact with this forum which basically is all about cryptocurrency.
I saw myself. I also came here because of the bounty, and I didn't understand why people write so much while others "work". Yes, I then thought that bounty was a job, and I didn’t go to any other sections at all. But it's good that I realized in time that I was going the wrong way.
OP, this is a forum primarily intended to communicate and discuss topics about cryptocurrencies. Many come here with financial motivation, but this is only an addition to the fact that here you can get very good knowledge, which will soon come in handy in many areas.
So take the time to read, discuss, and maybe share what you know and do. The forum will be friendly to you. You can’t even imagine how you can understand from the texts of people how interested they are in knowledge or, on the contrary, see slyness and falsehood.
