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

There is no denying the fact that most of the users are here for incentives, including myself, and there is no shame in accepting this because we all need to earn money from anywhere we can. However, talking about personal interests, I would stay around even if there are not incentives attached but if the forum is crowded and is as knowledgeable as Bitcointalk is.

If there are knowledeable users, engaging posts and threads, information being exchanged all around, I wouldn't mind staying around even if I'm not getting paid for my contributions. This is what I think, I can't say anything about others and what they might think.

How is everyone using Altcoinstalks with smartphones? Is it better than bitcointalk on mobile?
This could be a good reason for people to stay here.

It is the same in my opinion.

I use both in mobile, pretty good. At first I missed a mobile app, but I don't anymore.

I think SMF forums work well in mobile, and it is easy to read and write. OFC it is better in the desktop computer, but when I am out of home, it is important to me use the smartphone

Bitcointalk has 42 boards and 158 child boards and Altcoinstalks has 79 boards and 240 child boards. Almost double the amount here vs there.

I never counted the boards and child boards. This is interesting even thinking of counting the boards and sub boards. But I think this is a part of the work you do as the campaign managers.

Funny thing is more than half of these boards are in my ignore for some reasons. Local, economy and others sections are in my visible list. Even from these visible lists a lot of them are also in the ignore list. Hence my Bitcointalk experience is targeted to some limited boards. But in this forum the experience is 5x to 10x which makes me lost easily.

Since I do not speak any languages other than English, I close the Local board section and that takes away half the boards for me. Having all these extra boards may be useful as the forum grows, but for now a lot will not have much activity.

I counted the boards because someone had said something earlier in this thread and I got curious.

how do you make childboard invisible to you?

casinos having some BTC price prediction contest will make users come to keep visiting and post prediction to win.
i haven't won of those jacksclub contest but to me it makes me visit their new prediction contest weekly because i wanna see whether my prediction was right and it helps motivate the users to learn how indicators work. its still an incentive  but never to a number of post and on particular forums.

On bitcointalk you can ignore a board or child-board the way you can ignore a user. I am not if this forum has the feature.

Since I do not speak any languages other than English

It's same for me at least on internet.

[dkbit98]

how do you make childboard invisible to you?

You can't do it here unless you collapse the whole section with boards, or unless someone makes a user script to hide any childboard you want.
For that you would need to install extension like greasemonkey or violentmoney, and than install user script so it can hide stuff only for you, not for everyone else.

I am trying to get a couple casinos over here as well, but we will see what happens with that.

Thanks yahoo62278 for bringing various campaigns to the altcoinstalks forum including the Casino campaign and I hereby appreciate you as a Bounty Manager who is more dedicated to the development of the altcoinstalks forum.

The big question is, would any of you be here if you couldn't join a signature campaign?

This question may feel easy to answer because I have been in altcoinstalks since 2018. There are a lot of memories that have been passed, such as the ones below:
-Lots of spammers.
-Inappropriate posts in various sub-forums.
-Almost every day I clean or delete spammers' posts (when I was a Modz).
-Lobby all Bounty Managers from the Bitcointalk forum to launch a campaign on Altcoinstalks, I did this with members who have the "Ambassador" badge.
-I'm at Altcoinstalks looking for comfort to express my knowledge about cryptocurrency, compared to other forums I enjoy and feel more comfortable at Altcoinstalks, that's why I've been at Altcoinstalks since 2018 until now.

Yeps, in the past the admin often gave giveaways to members who were continuously active in the forum by giving away thousands of ALTT tokens or maybe even hundreds of thousands of ALTT tokens.
This is very good because this is in the form of rewards for members who continue to be active on the altcoinstalks forum. I still hold the ALTT token and I have never sold it at all.

I don't think there is any possibility for this forum to derail or go to the point it was before new year. It has definitely achieved a lot, many teleported members have started to like it here, and even if there won't be any signature campaign here one who seeks money can make posts and can earn points and then withdraw those points into ALTT tokens. These tokens do not have high value but money is money. The point is, without signature campaigns, this forum has an incentive program.

Speaking of the scenario, I might not be able to post here regularly, my posing habit would be so disturbed, everyone here is to make some dollar, but I have seen many members who are joined in the compaign and they are making more then enough posts just because they like to share it with us.

[DabsPoorVersion]

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 didn't really know about this forum until last year when I read from the other forum that the mixers campaign would be transported to another forum. At first, I didn't have any idea what website it is then I suddenly found a discussion that this was the forum they were talking about.

But let's be real here, everyone will not stay for too long anywhere if there's no earnings, no decent discussion and information you can benefit from, or earn anything in return. The same in this forum in the past, where there was not much traffic. Meaning, less discussion, and only a few threads are being created to give updated news to anyone.

But because of signature campaigns, more people are trying to find information that will be helpful to anyone, keeping everyone updated with everything that is happening in the crypto space which is good.

As for your question, I think it depends. But I can say that since I started posting in this forum, knowing that there are new discussions every day, every morning I find myself interested in checking if new topics are being discussed and debating with different opinions from different people around the world.

This is precisely where I wanted to go. "Anything in return". I understand that we all want to earn coins/tokens, it's logical. But analyzing that phrase I wonder... Is the knowledge we get in this forum (and in others on any other topic) useless?. Personally, I don't think so, and I also think it has as much or more value than the coins/tokens we can earn. That's my perception.

Forums are built thanks to the contributions of users, administrators, forum staff over hours and years of effort, which is why a forum, this forum, has so much value to me.

It's true, The majority of people are undoubtedly here for the rewards, there is no doubting that, I just returned to altcointalk because I heard that you can earned here while posting or join the signature campaign there's is a weekly salary. in the hard life, you really have to find a way to earn a living. I'm thankful to be back here at altcointalk.I hope altcoin will give more earnings and more work to come.

Yes but apart from that we still learn things here, although the earning motivate the activeness here. Even when the campaign has not come here, people were making comments once a while and when the bounties and campaigns have started coming, those who where not active came back and you said it just now that you were one then, and those who were active increase their motivation. Even know as for me the motivation is not yet high and there will be a time that the crowd of this forum will be much when the incentive the Signature Campaigs increase as the way they were in the BTT forum. When mixers were mixers over there, there was a serious competition there.

What else would make you or your friends want to be a part of this community?

I only know Bitcoin and from a lot of information on social media my friends directed me to various cryptocurrency platforms to look for free coins, I was directed to the bitcointalk.org forum and I was also directed to the altcoinstalks forum. I can be here because I want to gain broad insight about cryptocurrency.
What's more interesting about cryptocurrency on altcoinstalks is that the discussions are very light, relaxed and full of knowledge. Other times it seems like I also have to continue to be active on Altcoinstalks because I see Altcoinstalks as a friendly forum.

When the forum hasn't gotten much of these signature work, I used to be present here but not too active like then, it's safe to say that my frequent presence here was boosted by the incentive but I'm really curious what you mean by salary. How is these incentive enough for you as a salary? The money is not bad but you know the pay is just like incentive, wouldn't do much on you but I believe if the forum experience more growth, and development, then perhaps competition will come and bigger pay will come from other companies that might be willing to run campaign here and the existing campaigns might increase their own as well.
