Title: [Q] Can someone guide me on how to buy a copper membership? and the benifits?
Post by: D__R2 on July 29, 2020, 02:48:31 PM
I looked all over but there's no place to purchase anything, or to obtain the membership. I was wondering if someone can help me find it. I heard it had some good benefits but I have no idea where to go.

Welcome to forum!

Guide to buy copper membership

Go to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=credit;promote (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=credit;promote)
You will see a short page with instructions.
You need to send x BTC ( now it's 0.00270657 BTC) to a bitcoin address.
After you have done this and the transaction has 1 confirmation you can refresh the page.
Select Copper Membership from the dropdown menu on the new page and you are done!

The benefits you will get

By popular demand, newbies can now pay to have some of their restrictions lifted. If you pay the fee, you become a Copper Member, and you can post images. That's the main point of this: allowing newbies to post images. Additionally (and these might change depending on how things go), Copper Members currently have these bonuses:

- Some of the same permissions as Member-rank members, such as reduced signature styling restrictions. (But none of the PM-related restrictions are currently lifted, such as the style limit or per-hour PM limit.)
- Your "you must wait ____ seconds between ___" counter is reduced by 75%. So if you're naturally of Newbie rank, you only have to wait 360-75% = 90 seconds.


Use search engine if you want to search topic/thread you are looking for (in the top right pages)

From a Newbie’s perspective, the OP in this thread is also relevant:  Enhanced newbie restrictions & requirements (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5030366.0).

The main two benefits are being able to post images (being a BrandNew/Newbie – Jr. Members and upwards can do it without the membership), and having a Member level size and properties type signature.


Lesson 1: Forum's signature styling rules

     RANK      
     LINKS      
     STYLING      
     BOLD LETTERS      
     ITALICIZED      
     UNDERLINED      
     TABLES      
     MAX. CHARS.

Bear in mind that you already have 3 merits, so the ability to post images will soon be within your reach (when you get to 30 Activity).

Just follow the link given above and you will be directed to how much you need to send and which address after sending exact amount you will became copper member.

The benefit is you are able to post images unlike normal newbies.

Another way to find links to become copper members: Click the more menu, then on the various links choose to Buy a copper membership. There will appear the amount of BTC that you can transfer to the BTC address listed.

And as DdmrDdmr mentioned, because you already have three merits, you only need to be active in the forum and wait for the number of activities to increase to Jr. member.

You also get the label and it's a way to support the forum - if you want to.

Once you're a member it gives no perks and if you don't need it for anything instantly then it may not be worthwhile... Since you already have merits.

By default, the forum does not automatically wear the Copper member title for Copper members. Users have to wear the title or take it off by themselves. It is very easy to do but please see the guide from theymos on how to wear or take it off.
Once you have it, you get the choice:
