Title: Does Vod deserve Donator status?
Post by: Vod on September 16, 2020, 03:50:50 AM
No politics - no drama - just the facts.  Theymos' ultimate decision :)

I designed bpip.org (https://bpip.org) as a hobby, got hacked, launched officially with ibminer, and the project was saved by suchmoon after my hard drives suffered a design flaw (same as my heart valve ha!).  I spent hundreds of hours in devotion to accountability of users. 

People may copy this action or complain about it.   My standing grace is my early adoption, lack of any financial mistrust, and proven love of crypto and this community.

Is my contribution not worth the few dollars others paid when I worked?

I supported the honorable badge and title for you, @Vod.

  • I've never seen a honorable member with a Donator rank (without a real donation for the forum fund). What I've seen is honorable VIP's badge and title. VIP instead of donator, maybe.
  • By now, such ones are for pass-away members: Hal, Bruno. Bitcointalk's Hall of fame (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5240284.0)


BPIP founder is good option. I agreed with @suchmoon's idea.

Sorry, but I'm gonna say "no". Not because I don't value your contributions but because it'd be unfair to other Donators (and before the usual suspects pile on - I'm not a big fan of granting VIP to Bruno's accounts either). It's not just about the dollar amount but also about being there and helping the forum when it needed help.

OTOH theymos has given special subtitles to some users so perhaps something like "BPIP founder" would be appropriate and more unique than "Donator".

If you get one for your work than Lois V should really get one he has done a ton too

I vote for BPIP founder not donator rank

Who's that? Lois "violet eyes" Lane? Louis Vuitton?

I support a custom title, but not Donator status.

I've never seen a honorable member with a Donator rank
FTFY. Seriously, with all the scammers who've used Donator status to lend legitimacy to their scams, I'd pay BTC10 not to be a Donator. :-\

The spirit of bitcoin has always been to reward the early adopters.  I understand LoyceV and others built altcoins, but I was the original - the early adaptor.   And I helped build this forum when it needed help.  :/
