Bumping this one with request go get temporary pinned.. It will decrease the amount of complains posted on Meta for not working ANN images.

It probably would be better to put either this and/or the new Merit requirement update in the "News" section at the top. At least everyone can see it then and there's probably be going to be a hell of a lot of users confused or complaining about it today and over the next week or so as people start to realise something has changed.

The newly implemented addition to the merit system became a worrisome to some few members, especially Jr. Members. But the majority of this demoted Jr. Members who are whining about this new system, could be bounty hunters.

I may not be surprised if one day bounty managers will be accepting newbie with copper membership rank. I could smell a flood of donation if this happened.

If I may suggest theymos, don't you think it's about time to get something from these bounties created on this forum? Why not add an additional membership fee rank? Or better yet, let these membership fee be a means for bounty hunters to rank up without the need of merits.

Bounties are raking profits from this forum and I believe that the forum should too!

P.S, I just want to wear an avatar, would you be so kind to let a ranked Member like me have it?

If you paid an "evil IP" registration fee, then whatever you paid (in BTC terms) is subtracted from the upgrade fee. If you paid a registration fee a long time ago, you might even get a free Copper Membership due to the increase in BTC price. Just visit the link at the bottom of this post to check whether you have it already.

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. It is not intended to be the lower-cost Donator/VIP alternative which I've talked about before as a possibility.

I wrote the system so that I can easily add additional paid memberships in the future, but I might not ever do so. Not sure.

Why doesn't it cross our mind about the members of copper, to eliminate our fear of the merit system, which is currently being applied, In my opinion, I'm sure for Jr. members. Members who have already dropped off so that the newbie is able to pay to the members of copper with a total of: 0.00208333 BTC:
I think it is very capable of doing, So far with the income earned through the bounty project, In a matter of 9 months to become a member of JR, maybe you can join the project around 2 or 4 projects,
if discussed with the BTC price is now cheap, in my opinion it is very, very capable to be a member of copper. With this policy is certainly a very appropriate and professional consideration,

I gave an example:

if the Admin does not love Bitcointalk Members, maybe this new system has been implemented, when it is implemented merit, at the end of 2017, with a noble policy, let us first participate in the bounty project so that there is income in copper. I think to be a Copper Member at this time is very easy for those who are members of the JR, used to be a Newbie.

I think this a nice development for newbie. If you want to add an image,you have to pay for copper membership fee. Than waiting for so long to get a merit. But don't you think that someone that has much newbie account can pay for all of his account without getting knowledge of bitcoin because all he ever needed is to wear a signature

[Mostafiz878]

If I pay BTC.... My Bitcointalk account rank is upgrad??

[vuluong1995]

If I pay BTC.... My Bitcointalk account rank is upgrad??

Is exactly the same. After you send BTC to that address you will be transfer acc from Newbie => Copper Member
Newbie And enjoy the benefits from member Copper Member as Theymos stated in the thread.

Just out of curiosity i'm trying to understand one thing. When I go to "Buy a copper membership" page the wallet address seems like it's unique only for my account, as there is no transaction history and it doesn't change with the time. Does this mean that every user has a unique wallet address "attached" to his account upon registration?

Yeah, every user have unique payment address. Not sure when it's generated - on signup or when user visit Copper membership page. But theymos don't recommend to reuse address blindly and sending payment without checking that your payment address are still same.

- Before you send each transaction, you should re-copy the appropriate address from the page. Do not save the address and use it far in the future, or blindly reuse it, even if it seems not to change.

Wow, I just realized that this new rule also disables images automatically.
But the price for Copper Membership is so cheap, It's fair I think.
By the way, sorry, I just want to post this image since a long time ago

[MrSpasybo]

When earning merits is not easy, Newbie members will want to become Copper member to join bounty programs in future.
It is better than buying merits.

Is “copper member” displayed when someone pays the fee? If so do they retain he title after they have sufficient activity to become a “member”?

Once you have it, you get the choice:

Has this changed?  I now see a member rank AND copper member on a user's profile.

Before you would only see one rank.

I was trying to find out the same this evening. The copper rank shows on the left on the post, but not on the user profile. Perhaps I has never paid attention to this before, but now copper is on the agenda for Newbies and perhaps we look at it more than before.

I checked on the WayBackMachine ad found cases that behaved as now. For example, https://web.archive.org/web/20171125014306/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1172918.80 is a snapshot from 25/11/2017 and on the thread, there’s a post (#93) that shows:

ronchad
Copper Member
Jr. Member

So apparently this is unchanged, unless it has been on and off and back on again.

I remember it just as DdmrDdmr says above, and I still don't see the member rank on a Copper Member's profile (example).
Update: I remember this, because it annoyed me that I can't scrape the Rank other than Copper from the profile, and I didn't want to download a random post too.

I did not earn anything during this time, and many companies have the rules • Only JR member and above are allowed to participate. And what should I do now? All work wasted.

[SFR10]

I did not have time to earn money yet,

And yet you have enough time for creating those bounty posts!

And what should I do now? All work wasted.

Two options:
a) Leave this forum and save us all the headaches (for dealing with users like you).
b) Make time and start contributing in forum (instead of destroying it with those posts).

[nikvitebsk]

There was a wrong translation, and you misunderstood me. During this time, I did not earn anything to pay for the junior. For you it, of course, is ridiculous, but I do not even have this

[Lw2017]

Just purchased, what is usual turn around?

Thanks
