If you are planning to work on any crypto project here in Bitcointalk, you need to prepare a portfolio. I don't think they would be interested much if you have a newbie account and no portfolio to back up. You should show the results that you have and probably show that you are serious with buying copper membership etc.
I will upload a portfolio soon and I am here for more than 2 years ...
But it's nice idea to buy a Copper membership.
