Title: I thought my wiki account was grandfathered regarding the anti-spam measures... Post by: TiagoTiago on April 18, 2013, 11:32:26 PM My account at https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/ was created long before the paid anti-spam system was put in place, i could swear old accounts like mine that were in good standing had been grandfathered, but it seems it isn't...am i remembering things wrong or was there a decision to ungrandfather old accounts?

There's no grandfathering that I know of. The payment for anti-spam protection by BitcoinPayment is 0.01 BTC, an amount now worth over a $1 which is higher than necessary to simply prevent wikispam.

Post by: DeathAndTaxes on April 19, 2013, 01:44:02 AM When it started I believe the anti-spam amount was more like $0.10. Given a spammers costs (and benefit) are likely denominated in USD (or some other non BTC) currency it likely would make sense for the anti-spam algorithm to pull a weighted average price and request the BTC equivalent of $0.10.
