Title: owner of bitcointalk?
Post by: brayktcristel on July 24, 2020, 03:44:08 PM
is there an owner of this place? does it only get paid from advertiing?  do they take donation?  must cost a lot to run and would want to send some support to help forum run but see no how to do it message.  they should put a donate and help link on this webpage.

Theymos technically is in charge. You can donate though: https://bitcointalk.org/donate.html

Or buy a Copper Membership from here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=credit;promote

Most of the revenue is from the paid advert auctions but theymos has previously said donations are not necessary.

If you have something to advertise you can bid on forum adverts here if you wish: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5262483.0

But I'd just keep your money or give it to charity if you want to help out.

You can help the forum by contributing as a user. Theymos has said the forum doesn't need money, and considering it owns like $12M in Bitcoin, I believe him :)

You can freely donate any amount if you just want to help fund the forum though. It's just that 10 and 50 BTC will get you a special rank whereas anything below that amount won't(besides the copper member rank, which is through a different link).

Also, this. I'd probably use that money to fund a decent charity instead. There are a good number out there that accepts BTC. Here are some:

  • https://hrf.org/donate-bitcoin/
  • https://thewaterproject.org/donate-bitcoin
  • https://donate.torproject.org/

I think you can check this out and donate for the COVID-19 charity program of the forum. To know more go here: Project Covid-19 : An approach to support the Bitcoin community (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5243099.0)
This project is running by some trusted forum users.
