If there was no incentive to post, would you have come here?

[yahoo62278]

Prior to the new year I had an account here and i didn't visit very often as the forum really didn't have a lot of traffic or opportunity. With mixers bringing their business here, that has obviously started to change, although mixers are only going to keep advertising here if it stays lucrative for them to do so. I am trying to get a couple casinos over here as well, but we will see what happens with that.

The big question is, would any of you be here if you couldn't join a signature campaign? What are some ways that you would interact in this community that isn't just a money grab? I'm here trying to make a dollar too, but we need to focus on growth and keeping the forum alive or it will just go back to the same state it was in before the new year.

I see the admin has contests from time to time which is cool. What else would make you or your friends want to be a part of this community?

[Fivestar4everMVP]

I will not try to beat corners in other to appear cooler than I truly am, or lie in other to appear more dedicated to this forum than I truly am, I will just state the fact as I think it is, and that fact is that, money is very essential to everyone's life and well being, most people on the internet today are looking for one way or the other to make money, check Twitter - users there are all trying had to monetize their content through engagement farming, check YouTube, check Instagram, check Tik tok, everyone on this platforms are all looking for ways to monitize their contents, only two categories of people are not doing so, and they are -
1. People who already are millionaires and are only interested in keeping tabs with friends, family and fans throght this platforms
2. People who don't know how to go about monitizing their contents, or simply lack enough followers and don't know how or what to do to grow it.

What am I saying in essence? Remove the ability to make money from a platform and that platform won't really have a lot of active users, talk about popular chat apps like WhatsApp, telegram, it's all about making money for most users, as people use this platform to advertise their businesses, get referrals for online stuffs that pays them for such.

Bitcointalk is a top crypto forum, not just because it was founded by Satoshi himself, but the fact that users can make money from the forum has contributed profoundly to its growth, remove that ability today, traffic on bitcointalk, as well as active members will drop significantly.

Many of us like myself have been on this forum for quite some time now, but we all will confess we were never that active like we are now, why, because, now, many of us have a reason to visit the forum on daily basis, on like before.

So, what I did say is, if you have a businesses that are willing to advertise on this forum, bring them On, the more earning opportunities are made available to users, the more the forum will continue to grow.

[hugeblack]

They will do that, as long as there is a possibility of profit, people will continue to post on the forum, but at a lower rate. The reason for this is that they know that at some point there will be a new signature campaign.
Therefore, as long as there is hope for new signatures, people will continue to post here, which is good for the forum in general.
If there are no new campaigns in the coming months and the hope of a new signature campaign becomes non-existent, then most likely many will stop.

The first indication that signature campaigns will stay here will be from Mixtum and Tumbler. They have been here for more than two months, and I think that most campaigns give a period of 3 to 6 months before deciding to continue or stop advertising.

I'm here trying to make a dollar too, but we need to focus on growth and keeping the forum alive or it will just go back to the same state it was in before the new year.

I don't see the contradiction you see. What has brought a lot of people to this forum is the signature campaigns, and the fact that we could teleport. This forum is growing and is more alive than ever precisely because of that. I don't think there is anything else that can beat it that there are always several campaigns running and/or the expectation of new campaigns in the future.

And to answer the question in the title, no, I would not have come, especially as I am a bitcoin maxi.

That must be a very BIG question, indeed! To be honest, being a part of any signature bounty campaign is a sure way for anyone to be active here, sharing things we know and trying to contribute as the best as we can. I am not denying that...though because I am already a moderator even if am not a part of any bounty I still make sure to be present here from time to time and even contributing something since I am really starting to love this forum. Now, I understand that we are all different and if one is here for the sake of the bounty so be it and there is nothing wrong with that. With that in mind, maybe we should have regular programs that can encourage members to be active and to contribute content. In BTT, I only post if I am in a signature bounty or just post reports for social media campaigns...and it can be because I am still a Member in there and it is so difficult to rank up unlike here in ATT. I am just hoping that there will be more bounties posted and good signature campaigns will continue just like the mixers that we have now.

[Lucius]

I think that most of those who teleported from BTT would have the same answer and that should not be a surprise. We are all motivated to earn something through signature campaigns, but at the same time to promote something that we think makes sense and is useful for the crypto community.

As for mixers, I believe that their promotion on this forum makes sense and brings them a profit that is well balanced with the costs they have for advertising through signature campaigns and forum advertisements. I hope that the mixers will succeed in making this forum a good place for them to advertise, and that over time they will increase their pay rates, which will be a good indicator that they are doing well.

Probably no. Because this forum has very low activity and not many threads that could be discussed with others. For example, let's say you need help, and if nobody replies or let's say only a few replies with a lot of delays, of course, you will feel bored. If you have other options which is more crowdy and you can make money besides your daily posts, I guess it's a better idea to be   on a forum where you can learn things and make money at the same time. I hope the explanation make sense why I said that probably I wouldn't be here.

[trendcoin]

I came here when there was no incentive to post, but I must admit that mixer campaigns improve the forum.

Forum culture is dying all over the world. Forum culture is being replaced by social media. To keep the forum culture alive here, we can make friendships and recommend this place to people around us. Believe me, I really want to do better things, but this problem we face is a problem of the technology itself. It will not be easy to fight against it.

Still, if you want to bring casino campaigns here, we can try to be more active in the gambling sections.

[Agbe]

@Yahoo62278 this is a good question and answer for such question should be technical because if one say yes or no in such question then he would missed track of the original meaning of the questions and what I will say people will not participate like the way they are not because this forum is not like other social media like Facebook, WhatsApp, X, 2go and others, which this forum has restriction of some the activities and limitation things to do but in above mentioned social media have no limitation and you post and interact with friends and new friends the way you want but here you can't use many things like other so foe people to interact freely like that is not possible. And for now it is because of the incentive (Signature Campaigs), people condition themselves upon the bogus rules and regulations and actively posting here and I didn't any friendly discussion here. In other social media, you can ask someone you like to be your friend and become mutual friends and discuss well. But here things are on the opposite side. And I don't know it is because everyone is hiding their identity. Well to some extent I like the way it is. Because there is no any other ads except the permitted ones but the other social media, there are many unpermitted ads that disturb people on their screens. So all what I am saying here is that the incentive motivate people more to be active in the forum though people would have been here but not like this.

Like example of forum that not active in the ecosystem are.  Crypto forum talk and Bitcoin Garden Forum and these above links once they have signature campaigns in them, people will full there as well but as for now nobody goes there. Even you create thread there, nobody even make comments sometimes for months. I have participated there and see the experience.

[Odohu]

Even though many people would want to pretend, the truth is that without opportunity to earn money, many people will not be here... this is untestable though because no one hate just another extra income. Personally, I have come to find somethings very interesting here even though I joined during the ban of mixers in the other forum. Notable among the things I love about this forum is the chat board where users do interact directly with the admin who is active and operate like millions of people, seeing everything happening anywhere in the forum anytime.

In addition, this forum have a kind of soft rules that do not gag anyone to confirm to certain ideologies or struggling to impress anyone, there is total freedom of expression here. That I find very interesting. So, without the money, I will still be coming but not regularly as I would assuming I'm hired to perform promotion for any organization.

[Richbased]

Your idea of bringing casinos to this altcointalk forum is a welcome development due to the fact that a lot of users here actually teleported their accounts from the Bitcointalk forum and if you watch closely you would understand that casino campaigns tends to bring more traffic to the forum unlike the mixers though it may not generate as much traffic as that of BTT but however, with time such standards would be met.

[dkbit98]

I see the admin has contests from time to time which is cool. What else would make you or your friends want to be a part of this community?

I had account in this forum since 2019 but I didn't use it so often.
Only reason I came back here again was the ban of mixers in bitcointalk forum, and I expected to have more genuine discussion about that topic.
I don't know if activity is going to continue growing, but this would be one of the main reasons that could keep me here in the long run.

[robelneo]

I had an account here back in 2018 and I was active I consider Altcoinstalks as my secondary forum but during the Pandemic I had to reduce my time online so I preferred Bitcointalk then but I create topics from time to time projects I made a deal with like BK8, Yield.App, IOI tokens among others but I am more active now because of the mixing campaign that was banned on Bitcointalk.
Because of the teleporting features and the existing campaigns and coming campaigns Altcoinstalks will be good forum to promote platforms related to Cryptocurrency.

[trendcoin]

Memecoins are very popular these days. We can create our memecoin or we can convert our forum token into memecoin format. I don't know, I don't really like this kind of projects, but since the dynamics of the market is moving in this direction, we can try to adapt to it. For example, we could pick a day on the calendar and celebrate it with memes and organize contests on that day. But whatever we do, we have to remember that forum culture has reached a dead end...

Yeah, we have seen the growth of the AltcoinsTalks forum following the emergence of high quality signature campaigns (payments in BTC and LTC). I really appreciate their impact.

Before these campaigns, AltcoinsTalks forum also had other signature campaigns, such as AmePay or FxBox bounty campaign, but their impact was not really big. Rewards motivate members and help the forum develop better.

However, this is only part of the truth. I joined AltcoinsTalks since 2017 and for most of the time I was active without receiving significant rewards. Besides tokens, discussion, the opportunity to gain knowledge and become part of the crypto community are also very important to me.

I also run a Telegram group and a crypto Youtube channel, which provides free market analysis and knowledge. Everything is quite okay, income is not my only purpose. So with or without rewards, I will still stay and be active on the AltcoinsTalks forum!
