Will the requirements for the donator or VIP status ever change?  As it stands right now $50 for donator and $500 for VIP is neccary. Perhaps subcategories of donators could be created to encourage donations? Many people will be hesitant to give 5 BTC but I'm
Sure more people would be willing to give 1 BTC to be called a mini donator just a thought...

The requirements sound very reasonable, the four hour limitation should stop people from randomly trolling however the requirements will not put an end to well planned trolling, however this is an unfortunate fact of the Internet and trolls that have no life will generally go as far out of thier way to troll as is needed. But here's an idea, perhaps make people donate a satoshi to get into the forums? That would demonstrate an ability to use bitcoin, although setting up that system may be tedious.. Never mind the way you have it is good too.

Hey, i can tell you right off the bat that it is highly unlikely you will find bitcoin investors with the rate of return given, I know of many bitcoin investments that offer over 2% per week which is much higher, however I can give you a few reccomendations for your website. Firstly offer an English version of the website, this is very important if you plan on marketing internationally. Also note that there are alot of men who use bitcoin so perhaps have some products that appeal to men on the homepage if you want to sell to men. People who mine bitcoin might consider purchasing if you can offer products that appeal to them that they can pay for with bitcoin. However if a monthly fee is associated with offering bitcoin as a payment solution I would scrap that idea. If a small percentage of the sale is associated then go for it. Im not exactly sure what bitpay charges but check them out.

I had this problem myself.. Few years ago. Just send the info they request and it should be unlocked.. They just want to make sure you are who you say you are. It is annoying I totally agree but it is for thier safety. if someone was spending illegally they don't want to deal with reversing all the transactions and giving thier commissions back. I believe there is an automated lock placed when they deem activity to be suspicious although I don't know what the criteria is. I know PayPal will place an immediate lock if a refund is done.

Hello bitcoin community. My name is Christian as you may have already guessed from my name. ive been aware of bitcoin for just over a year now however ive mostly just been silently observing and watching it grow. Im a canadian living in ontario studying at brock university, getting my business degree(third year now yay me!). i want to be a part of this community and hopefully soon enough ill make a name for myself and gain some reputation. Ive got alot of ideas about bitcoin and i can safely say my faith in bitcoin is large and i have complete confidence that this currency will one day be something that not just we can enjoy and utilize but something that the world too will use on a larger scale.
