I can't access the video either..given the growth and size of the community, a crowdsourcing project can produce nothing less than a blockbuster. It's time for a bitcoin blockbuster ;-)

Looking at the volume of repeated queries on same topics, it's a good idea to do whatsapp or other chat platforms.

A broader point to address is the authenticity of information available to biginners. With it's own challenges of effective onboarding, this forum still remains the best source of authentic information on bitcoin and whole of the 'crypto-internet'

I wouldn't worry too much about God or the punishments / pleasures as long as I can realise my spiritual self

a newbie inbox shows below message while sending a PM - it outlines the need of trust in P2P dealings but again it may seem unpleasant to a beginner

!!! WARNING: This user is a newbie. If you are expecting a message from a more veteran member, then this is an imposter !!!

It's likely that you may become curious about signature campaigns, can learn a bit more about these here..https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1539792.0

This sign campaign thing seems so over hyped, please refer this thread for what I learnt...https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1539792.0

Eventually I locked that thread to stop further post on this topic

It's better if a member who started the topic locks it rather than a moderator. This will avoid restrictive moderation policy and will ensure free speech at all time. a moderator can then encourage such voluntary locking as and when required

I guess it works better by reporting specific off-topic post, that would be more convenient for Mod's and you to take appropriate action. Not sure if there's a way to report multiple replies in one go, that might make it easier to report cases like this.

I believe it makes no difference if you believe in god or not, what matters is to attain self-realisation, and consciousness is the only route to do so

In P2P systems, a beginner is likely to receive unwelcoming treatment sometimes.

I read an article at following link which suggests that P2P systems / blockchain heavily relies on TRUST between it's members. Due to high possibility of scamming it becomes necessary to make new joiners realise the value of trust. That's where existing members may have to take firm stand on the way newbies behave.

Try lending or investing in BTC loans in this forum or other service like bitbond. Given the associated risks of lending, it may require some research though. May be start with small amounts and increase it as you gain experience..

Thanks everyone for your inputs so far, I have re-worded the post subject and details. hope that presents the idea more clearly

Poverty is more to do with man's greed and bitcoin is very much part that

It would be nice if beginners can qualify for signature campaigns in less time.

Are there any tips or good practices that can help beginners to start running signature campaigns early?

Example 1 - buying senior member profiles can be a way to start early

Some more insights on this subject,

• We are here to contribute and be a good member of the community and not just for earning
• Earning by signature campaign is an incentive for being a good member
• Heavy use of signature campaigns as marketing tool may lead to spamming i.e if a signature campaign ask for 35 posts per week, it may result into posts that are only meant to meet the campaign target and may not be of much value to the community
• Many posts recommend use of signature campaign as the only best way to earn BTC, that's what makes this subject important
• Finally and thankfully there's a full topic dedicated to signature campaigns: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=615953.0already
