I am like you.

parts-express
andantech
macrumors
macmini 123

all did not let you sell your signature.
I made thousands of posts on those forums. maybe 15000 on them.

I did a lot of mac mini sales on mac mini 123.
a few sales on andantech.

I don’t do a lot of signature work here. maybe 2 years out of 11. But it comes in handy if you get a bit tight on cash.

Of those you mentioned, the only one I didn't know was parts-express
These forums have helped me a lot too
But it's amazing to think that even with so many years of participating in forums, I had never thought about the possibility of renting/selling a signature

A few years ago when forums were more popular, and if the moderators/owners of the forums allowed it, I think hardware stores could pay for the best users to promote them
But as I said, I didn't think about that possibility

I've seen you with 2 signature that I remember before, the most recent one from TalkImg, and another one that I don't remember which one, but I don't think it was a paid one

The signature campaigns here on the forum become very interesting when the payments equal or exceed a salary of the country where the user lives, for the US or most of Europe it is good but for other countries it is a very high value

I am grateful that there is a signature campaign as it is helping me out during this tight time for mining.

Yeah BTC and bitcointalk has been quite a trip for myself.

I think it's a ~~almost~~ win win situation
Of course, it generates some spam or unnecessary/excessive posts, but it also brings activity to the forum, it's a reward that helps to keep good users here, help them (like you said right now)
It also generates cryptocurrency traffic, new users and a few other good things

Another very interesting thing is that cryptos are essential to this system, the campaigns capture the essence of cryptos very well, of being able to pay someone living in another country, without intermediaries, without excessive fees and with privacy/anonymity if the user wants it
