Do you know that
Signature Campaign is an invention of bitcointalk.org?
I didn't know before now. I had thought that signature campaign is something that has been in practice even before creating the bitcointalk forum. But I was surprised to discover otherwise. I searched the internet for ways to earn bitcoin. Many blogs including binance news acknowledged that signature campaign is a means to earn bitcoin and it was started or it is exclusive for bitcointalk forum. Even
99bitcoins said a similar thing.
I didn't know that the forum signature campaign originated on Bitcointalk. It's a bit conflict of interest in their business because they also have their own advertisements. In a signature campaign, advertisers don't pay Bitcointalk; instead, the campaigners and their managers are the ones paid. Yet, Bitcointalk allows it because it brings in more users, which increases site traffic. It was a smart move.
This is nice to know that apart from the Bitcoin - Pizza event, HODL typo error incident, there are other things that emanated from the bitcointalk forum.
I can't compare these two things. The pizza event in the past became widely popular worldwide, while the signature campaign is known to only a few people.
So, apart from here in bitcointalk, has any other forum or website adopted the signature campaign system of advertisement?
Does theymos have a patent for signature campaign such that no other forum can replicate what is happening here without his permission.
I only know about Cryptotalk. It's a campaign that was run by Yobit before.
