Is the donator status still priced at 1BTC? If so, should that be lowered to the current price range of a Bitcoin? Or probably changed it to a USD value instead, to properly reflect a better price for donating.
What do you guys think?
The following topic has been discussed over and over.
i am not going to pay 22,125$ to get VIP status
Don't see it as $22,125 but rather as 50
BTC, now and then.
i would like to donate
You can donate any amount you want to if you feel the urge to donate something to the forum.
they need to update the price
Already discussed each 2 sites of this thread, several reasons speaking against it,
the main ones are 1) it would be unfair to all current donator/vip users and 2) the forum doesn't depend on donations anymore.
Yeah, its kinda strange that this has not been adjusted with the rise in bitcoin price. As it is, the donation is not for someone like me who got BTC recently, but rather for people who were with it from the beginning. I would donate something, but no way would I donate 10 btc (or 50!!!) at these prices.
So 50 BTC is ~ 12k usd, there are not many who can afford this, and even if I could I would donate it to something like doctors without borders.
I would however be happy to donate $5 usd or similar, but thousands to an internet forum is silly. I suggest that either rates are adjusted, or new categories are added.
You can donate any amount you wish:
https://bitcointalk.org/donate.htmlThe prices of ranks may seem silly now but won't be changed because it's unfair to the others who will have paid much more for their rank. I think theymos has mentioned the possibility of adding newer ranks in the future but it's not a priority or really needed.
Hope that clears all your doubts.......might as well lock the thread..
