Newbies can now pay a small fee to enable images

[Seth Nyarko]

If it's so then that would be awesome!

Glad to know that we have access to copper membership. It will be great if the forum can also provide another reward system where people can rank up faster by completing different tasks. It is taking a long time to become a Hero member. And the copper member offer was from 2017. Wish we can have more access to the forum.

The main idea behind "Copper membership" was to give "Newbie" users the ability to post images (not to rank up their accounts faster) and since we're all trying to do the opposite of what you just suggested (fight spammers from ranking up, especially with the new "merit system" that was introduced on 2018), then I highly doubt that your proposal gets implemented.

Theymos has previously said he may add additional ranks in the future, though there's certainly no plan to. I actually think it would be a beneficial idea for numerous reasons though. Firstly, most shitposters who come here likely wouldn't have the funds to purchase the higher rank (or at least they should be sufficiently expensive so they can't be bought en mass). 2) It would decrease account sales and farming (it would stop them completely if the only way you could get a signature was to purchase it). 3) Money raised via donators could be used to fund worthwhile projects or given to charity. I'm sure there's many more benefits too.

Interesting, though I wonder how many will actually do this. They are newbies, what are the chances they come across this option before they rank up to Jr. Member, which isn't too much. If they find it when they have say 15 activity points, will it be worth it? So I think it should be an option when someone creates an account.

I think that Copper Membership is quite popular on Bitcointalk, I see many users wearing it. For example, ICO devs, service owners often buy this membership immediately after they buy account. And even after they reach Jr. Member rank this membership is still useful becauseit it gives some Member rank benefits (reduced PM limits, bigger signatures and etc.
Sometimes even Hero or Legendary members buying Copper Membership without any serious reason.

I think a lot of Jr. Members are doing it for the Member level signature. Some campaigns are accepting Jr. Member with Copper membership for a Member spot. That's probably a far more attractive benefit that posting images for newbies.  I'm not sure if it possible to find out how many since the member search function has a maximum 1,020 results display limit.

I'm sure hilariousetc's suggestion of making the higher rank signatures available in more expensive memberships would be equally popular.

hello, I'm planning to pay  0.00208333 BTC, is it true that it will automatically credited to my account?, because I'm planning to Post in translation bounty.
 So I need to post image and long paragraph, Is there any limit when it comes to number of words?

I need it as soon as possible because maybe I will post it this week.

thank you.

You are already a Jr. Member so can post images.

There is a character limit per post (~64,000 IIRC) but that is the same for everyone regardless of rank.

OUCH I already sent the 0.00208333

The title of this thread is "Newbies can now pay a small fee to enable images" so as you're not a Newbie that should have been obvious. There is no mention anywhere of increasing any post size limits so I don't know where you got that idea.

From the opening post of this thread:

I am aware that for most people the benefits of this membership are pretty lame. This membership is only intended to fill a specific niche; if you don't need it, don't buy it.

[zanjerbits]

because I'm trying to post an image and I dont know how to post it.

do you have tutorial link?

Google it. Or search:

I have read posts and articles which suggest using sites like Imgur.com to post image links on Bitcointalk.

However, I have seen posts where nice images, and embedded links, even videos, instead of just posting the links. Can someone share how I may do that too?

Thanks!

For the images part:

source of these images: post by Lauda: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.0
Step 1: you have a problem, so it might be best to go the the Beginners & help subforum
Step 2: at the very top, you see a post labelled "Newbies - Read before posting"


Step 3: search this post (Ctrl-F in most browsers) for the text "I cannot post images"


Step 4: read this post
Step 5: read the rest of this thread, eventough it has nothing to do with why you cannot post images

For the second part of your question (embedding videos): could you post a link to an example thread?

Now I'm understanding it better. I was assuming that it was a way for newbies to have simple benefits, such as no waiting 360 seconds before posts, and other such benefits that they would have once they reach Jr. Member. So I thought the copper membership would become obsolete once the member became a Jr. Member.

I'm guessing that if more bounty campaigns start accepting copper memberships instead of Newbies and JR. Members, it can reduce spam from bought and sold accounts.

The instructions are on the page where you paid for it.

Once your transaction has 1 confirmation, revisit this page and then use the form which will appear in order to wear your new membership. Your transaction will not be registered until it has 1 confirmation. Bitcoin network fees and exchange/wallet withdrawal fees will not count toward your payment.

I appreciate that with copper membership we can now, post images, its vital really for any project trying to make a marketing campaign on BTT. I still at the same time enjoy engaging with topics and discussions on here... but legendary status seems like a hopeless dream since the merit system has been put into effect.
