Newbies can now pay a small fee to enable images

[marlboroza]

I wanted to ask something long time ago but I always forget to. Why are newbie copper members allowed to send PM if "Allow newbies to send you PMs." box is unchecked?

Having newbies blocked means I don't want to read their spam/threats/try to bribe/insert random reason messages.

Special perk = special ability.
Copper Members are paid members somehow with stealth perk enabled

You will have the signature space enable (member rank size), but it will depend on each campaign manager to decide if they accept Copper Member Newbies on their campaign. If it is not explicitly permitted nor disallowed by the specific bounty campaign rules, then you can PM the Campaign Manager to see if you are eligible, specifiying that you are (would be) currently a Copper Member Newbie.

So it mean it depend on the bounty manager and campaign

Will this copper membership come with a merit?

Nope, just the privileges.

Just an update from theymos :

The copper membership price will increase by about 300% around Friday.

It's time to buy now

Nearly 30 bucks after the hike. That's the price of 20 cheezburgers.  


Btw the natural member means Member or Full member?

It is only Member.

The price will be fixed in bitcoins so imagine what will happen when we enter a bull market again.

Has anything been written anywhere about the reasons for this? I can't imagine it's a money making measure. I also can't imagine it's going to deter the people who aren't already deterred by it.

I did't find anything. Checked both in Meta and theymos post history but nothing was mention about the change. The only source of information is the announcement in the news feed. It should be a good thing tho, all those spammers that cannot earn even one merit are buying copper memberships to wear paid signatures so they gonna loose more now.
I don't know if the Evil IP fee will be increased too.

No official reason, but my guess is that Theymos feels that paying a few bucks to bypass the merit requirement just to have privileges as a normal member still encourage signature spammers.

It's just that I last changed the price when the BTC/USD price was $12k, so it's drifted from the intended value. Evil fees will also be updated.

The price will be fixed in bitcoins so imagine what will happen when we enter a bull market again.

Then I'll (eventually) adjust it downward again. I like to keep the BTC-denominated price pretty stable and not change it every time the market freaks out in either direction, but it's supposed to have a vaguely consistent real value.

Nope it won't,but it gives you a somewhat junior member status and enables you post images and join campaigns(but that's based on the mangers preference)as you'll be able to wear a signature

Buying a copper membership rank wouldn't automatically get you a merit,as you can have 0 merits and have the rank on,but definitely with it you can likewise earn merits,it doesn't stop you from doing so

It's fine you have increased price for copper member. But I am not agree downward again even on bull run. Because the forum name is BTCitcointalk, Not USDtalk or Altcointalk. If I am not wrong copper membership was implemented for enable images. But most of people's are misusing lately for signature campaign. Copper membership is able to wear member rank and most of them are one line poster I have seen. So peoples are simply skip earning merit and never try to contribute themselves.

So how it will be, Copper Membership = Jr. Member facility since topic title is "Newbies can now pay a small fee to enable images." And Jr. Member rank is able to post image.

We've just purchased a Copper member and the following message appears:

Copper - 0.00000000 BTC: Allows you to post images even if you are a newbie, reduces the time-between-actions limit, and provides some of the same benefits as being of natural Member rank.

You have paid a total of 0.00208333 BTC, pending confirmation. This is reflected in the above prices. (To get the normal price, add this amount to the above prices.)

Should I simply wait for the transactions to be confirmed, or any further action is required? I am still not seeing an option to "wear" the copper membership.

Worry not, this has been addressed according to the page itself:

Pay to the Bitcoin address 3MVd6Ec1VPQ4bKAcdkVN6FqAEuHL4vKpfN. 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 accepted until it has 1 confirmation. Bitcoin network fees and exchange/wallet withdrawal fees will not count toward your payment.

We are commonly asked how we know that you sent a payment. The address above was newly generated just for you, so when any BTC is sent to it, we will know to credit it to your account. It is all automatic.

As you have a pending confirmation you need to wait >
