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

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.

I agree.

This place could be become the community support for bitcoin mixers in general. If someone has a problem with a mixer, this is the place to report. Also, if someone wants to know which mixer to use, the community can help.

I think this place can also be an interesting place for technical support for altcoins wallets, coin recovery support, etc... As bitcointalk fails in doing so for altcoins. I see some discussions in reddit, but I don`t think reddit is good for that because posts get locked after 6 months.

I was invited to join the forum and then it took me a few days to complete the Teleportation. Too many boards, I lose myself easily among these boards.

Finding a mixer from search engine search result and use it to break connection for your bitcoin especially when it is a large amount, is risky. The search engine results are filled with scammers.

Bitcointalk was a good place to find a reputable mixers. When a mixer is spending money for advertising and continuing it for longer time then it automatically creates a trust and using the mixer is less risky then a mixer that was discovered via search result.

After banning mixers entirely from bitcointalk there was a panicking time but it seems this forum was able to stop this panic.

When I registered on this forum, there were hardly any bounties available for users to participate. Since then I think I have participated in 3 bounties (in the 3 years that I have been registered) and none have had the expected results. What I came here looking for was a place where I could talk quietly. I completely understand that users come just for the bounties, we all like the added bonus of getting paid for our contributions. I know that of all the teleported users, some would stay if signature campaigns disappeared overnight, but I also know that the majority of users would "disappear" until new campaigns arrive.

I agree. I think there are too many boards as well... too many airdrop/earn/bounties etc...

I prefer a more simple forum. However,  btt also has many boards , but I think altcoinstalks has more.

They can also use dumb AI bots to get answers on that 
Except maybe for few coins that are used for privacy and as stable coins, I think it is nothing more than wasting of time talking about topics like that.
I have been active here in last two months and I didnt saw anything really valuable posted for altcoins, and they are not banned on bitcointalk like mixers.

You can always collapse and hide what you dont want to see (partially).

Let's be real, most of those who write on forums are seeking to get money, whether through signature campaigns, bonus distribution, airdrops, etc. This, of course, is not a bad thing unless it turns into spam to get rewards without providing any valuable content.

Until the emergence of social media, forums were the best place to exchange opinions and experiences, discuss, and obtain information, but after the spread of social media, this changed. Therefore, I believe that obtaining money from forums is the strongest factor that makes them continue until now. Of course, it is not the only factor, but it is the strongest factor as I mentioned.

Even if the mixers and signature campaigns disappear from the forum, I believe that there are still many opportunities, even if their returns are less, but they are still acceptable to maintain activity in the forum to some extent. Members will remain active waiting for new opportunities.

[bitterguy28]

Sadly I must admit that I will never come to know this forum if not of the migration and that is something I regret to not know this earlier .

But now that I have learn and knowing this little by little? there are many options that I could earn not just by incentives but by learning the other areas of Altcoins because in the past I only knew investing(buying and selling) but in this forum i am now more than learning airdrops and other fields connecting to this.

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 think over time the admin will see what is and isn't being utilized and lessen the load. Not going to happen overnight and it's entirely possible that most of these sections get utilized as the forum grows.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

People will still come because they are more interested by the way of learning more new opportunities in cryptocurrency, they needed a platform whereby they can make discussions about crypto, learn and improve themselves in many ways in this new trends of digital cryptocurrencies, as you can also, not all members here making post are participating in a signature campaign.

[notblox1]

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?

Contests are very nice here, and bitcoin price prediction competitions is another good thing that was adopted from bitcointalk forum.
Altcointalks forum needs to have something that is not available in bitcointalk and other forums, this could attract more quality members.
I want to see more people who are really interested in some topics, and they dont write only because of signature campaign.

[philipma1957]

I used to not sell my signature at bitcointalk.

I finally decided that I should do a signature.

I had a good deal with a mixer and it got cancelled.

I believe that some privacy is needed if I send you a check from my bank you don’t know if my bank account has $1000 or $100,00.

I need a way to do this with a mixer.

I joined here in April 2023 , but I fully teleported in Jan 2024. I will stick around as I mine quite a bit of altcoins. I will even stay and not use a signature down the road in 2026.

[examplens]

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.

There are two questions here, but both have the same answer.
Altt forum >> signature campaigns >> raising the quality of discussions >> growth of the forum >> sig. campaign >> quality... Looks like a perpetual motion machine. The campaigns attracted some higher quality discussion, which is a real basis for participation in the forum. Without it, there would probably be a lot less activity. At least from my side.
Various contests are ok, but I wouldn't write meaningless posts just to maintain activity.

Probably a simple answer with a nice explanation. I have been in other forums as well. But, if you check those forums, there is not many activity except for some illegal forums where people buying/selling hacking, phishing, and scamming tricks. There are a lot of activity on those illegal forums and I guess those are just fake accounts bumping their own sell threads to make them look like they are real sellers.

As I already said in my previous post, probably I won't be there because I don't even know if someone will reply me or not. We expect replies to our posts when we writes. We need to correct ourself. We have to see ourself from different point of view.

+1 Yahoo62278 for bringing up the number of boards sin each forum

So many boards.
Considering that there are way fewer users here than in bitcointalk, I think 2/3 of those boards should really be merged.

They can't simply delete all this boards without affecting member profiles and their activity with other things.
I think admins already moved a bunch of topics and some boards are moved to child boards, so it is a bit easier to navigate this forum now.
There are some positive changes and I hope this continues, I want to see something new and better that we don't have in other forums.

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.
