Forum ranks/positions/badges (What do those shiny coins under my name mean?)

[Jeremycoin]

is there possibility to see or calculate when you are going to be lets say fullmember?

My acc has a decent age but I'm still member because a long time I was just lurking

Of course there is, you can use the Bitcointalk Account price estimator. It's basically a tool to estimate how much your account worth, but it also gives some statistics about your Bitcointalk account.

cool thats what I was looking for, thank you bud!

Since the value of Bitcoin has gone up drastically, relative to everything else, shouldn't there be a decrease in the total BTC donation amount?

No, theymos ever said the donation amount won't change no matter how far bitcoin price changed.
Theymos refers to bitcoin, not dollar.

I agree with your answer being correct; however, I totally disagree with it.

What I feel is a shame is that some listed donation badges are scammers from long ago and they are not removed.  Any new company or legit person trying to get the badge simply can't because of the price of bitcoin.

Example:  In the beginning of donations, I could donate 50btc for a cost of about $500.  There is no chance I would donate $87000 today.
I can understand that it's nice to keep the list relatively short, but to expect 200 times the amount is absurd.  When bitcoin hits $10,000 is it still going to be 50BTC, You know, only $500k to be listed and have the badge.

This blocks everyone from donating.  That said, it also implies that bitcointalk.org is limiting the number of donations it gets.

I can understand the idea that the donation amount should be denominated in Bitcoin, but not that the amount should be static forever.

If you're determined to avoid measuring Bitcoin against the dollar in order to consider it a currency in its own right, then you could measure the value with the Big Mac Index, against gold or something similar.  It's impossible to deny that the actual buying power of Bitcoin has changed, and therefore the donation should be similar as you're contributing to the forum for similar things that you were contributing for years ago.

Furthermore, many of the costs of the forum that we're talking about will either require the forum to convert it to fiat at some point to pay, or for the person receiving it to consider the fiat value of the coins in order to accept it.  In either case the US dollar value is still relevant to what a donation should be.

What is the gold coin purpose? Or what is Gold coin for? Just asking

[akash.islam]

It's just a quick rank meter to indicate what rank you are. The coins are not actually good for anything (as far as redemption) other than the fact that you'll be easily identified as the rank that you are. As you use the forums more, and get familiarized more with seeing the amount of coins under a name (according to that person's rank), you'll more than likely end up just looking at the person's username and coin count, rather than reading their rank title. At least that's the way I perceive people's names here.

Thanks to OP first of all for the nice explanation of the ranking system in detail. It should also be pinned in the Beginners section so that they will know the basics at first and also thank you for the Gold coin explanation, At some point, I had thought that Forum will give gold coins for legendary members.

Request is processing. Please wait.

(I already waited 15 minutes and nothing has happened)

[picorino]

[shorena]

No, but the number of posts are an upper limit.

[HeroC]

Hey, just FYI, several of the image previews on your post are broken, they led to nonexistent images.

[Luluaikee]

[timotron]

So if I,m not a Jr.member I Cant Start a new ANN With fhotos right ?

Its a barrier for me, its there a way to do Upload a Fhoto been lower rank ?

Thanks

[hilariousandco]

No. You're nearly a junior member anyway. When you're up to 30 posts you'll probably be one.

[cryptogeek101]

This rank information is good. My question is, from the activity point of view how long does it take one to become a legendary member?

[botany]

The activity required is random. The luckiest ones get it when their activity crosses 775.


the Legendary member group has no universal activity requirement. You are guaranteed to become Legendary somewhere between 775 and 1030 activity, but the exact point in this range at which you become Legendary is random per user.

[salsa321]

very interesting.
I see there is a very interesting kind of ranking between global moderator troll buster and legendary (john k) and ninja administrator (cyrus),what kind rank of it?
