Title: Donating to bitcoin talk, ummm what? Post by: Ways2MakeMoney on July 22, 2017, 04:01:15 AM https://bitcointalk.org/donate.html
Quote If you donate 10 BTC, you can get a special "Donator" title and a green "who's online" color. If you donate 50 BTC, you get VIP status and the ability to create a custom title for yourself. Both Donators and VIPs also get access to an exclusive forum section. You must contact theymos prior to donating if you want to take advantage of this offer: you will be given a unique donation address. See this forum topic for more details. To get the VIP status you have to donate the current equivalent of at least $135,364.5 worth of bitcoin to the forum? Title: Re: Donating to bitcoin talk, ummm what?

It was decided that lowering the price in BTC would be unfair to those members that paid it in the past. After all, this is a bitcoin forum, not a USD forum. :) Title: Re: Donating to bitcoin talk, ummm what? Post by: dillpicklechips on July 22, 2017, 04:22:16 AM At that time the value of Bitcoin is very low compared today that's why it's not that heavy to donate something like that but as the time goes by it increased multiple folds hence the admin thought of adjusting it but in the end they don't since it would be unfair to those who donated even in their time it doesn't worth that much.

I highly doubt anyone is donating anything nowadays--nor should they. I suspect it would be money not-so-well spent, and the reward would be absolutely nothing anyway. Isn't there some sort of private section for donors, where they can chat unmolested by shitposters? That sure would be nice, but it's not worth even 1BTC. To me, anyway.

I think it could be a good idea to remove signatures and maybe post count in there so it would be a safeheaven from sig spam and shitposting farmers. |
