Are people still donating?
I read the response to this, that the last time it was updated was last year, and I think that's a good thing. Bitcointalk doesn't need any more donations as far as I know, and I think such donations (10 BTC, or even 1 BTC) are a waste of money at this point. That kind of money would be better spent as a donation to a hospital or an organization that does good for the community. As much as I'm a fan of this forum, there's no way I could justify giving preference to it over a library, children's hospital, or a charity. Even though a lot of charities are corrupt at worst, and waste money at best, I think bitcointalk would probably just sit on the funds and NO good would come of it. The "donator" tag doesn't impress me anyway. You write a lot of sense. Having view the Donator status next to an avatar or username does not impress me either but it also does not take away from the fact they donated (albeit years ago) to support the forum.

So amusing to read posts from the beginning of bitcoin era. 10 BTC was nothing by then. I'm wondering if someone donated 10 BTC today, which was mined fresh, considering present day's difficulty?

Now donate 10 bitcoins in good condition. It is very interesting to read history and to represent those moments what they were in the past.

Now a month of hosting will be worth about 0.01btc. Really nice to see the list of people that really mad this forum going live, we couldn't survive without those early donators.
I think that the forum should be reopening the donation section, even without offering a special title, some people want to donate as a support to the forum and they can't.

the donate button is always open if people really wanted to support they can just send btc from the address mentioned on the donate button. if you check the address there are still people donating to the forum.

Assuming that you are serious (and i am pretty sure you aren't)Look at the top of the page, press "donate" read what's written there and click "contact theymos" then write a private message to him.

Kind of similar to the now infamous "Pizzas for 10,000 Bitcoin" event Here is a proof that that transaction took place:) https://blockchain.info/tx/a1075db55d416d3ca199f55b6084e2115b9345e16c5cf302fc80e9d5fbf5d48dleave it, i dont need donor status LOL, 10 btcs are too much for real.
I guess some top ICO’s could afford it for increasing their image, but on the other hand I think investors may not understand if such money would be spend for status on the forum.

I dont think they would literally require 10 btc to recognise a donator but also they dont want to devalue the previous donators contribution either as they certainly opted to donate 10 BTC not keep it till now with its higher value. Companys contribute via paid advertising. Its done via an auction I think Now a month of hosting will be worth about 0.01btc. Really nice to see the list of people that really mad this forum going live, we couldn't survive without those early donators.

There is the copper rank for a much smaller amount (to me it shows up as 1/5th of the amount you mention). This link is personal to each account apparently: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=credit;promote

I think the amount one need to pay for Donator status should be reduce from 10BTC to maybe like 1BTC since the market value of Bitcoin at the moment is fa higher than what it was in 2011.

Read the posts in the previous pages. This suggestion was asked several times and nothing will change, 1 BTC = 1 BTC and those who donated in the past have sent 1 BTC not the equivalent of it in USD so it isn't fair for them. If you want to donate a small amount, you can buy a Copper Membership.

Are you willing to donate 10 or 50 BTC? Did you see staff begging for donations? The forum don't need donations anymore since the ads revenues are quite good. This was said several times...

It would be good to know how much in donations the ads are generating after all we are all part of the community.

Each round of ad sales are public and can be found in the Auctions section. Look through those threads if you're interested. I have no idea why you've such a hard on about donations to the forum. You've been asking the same silly questions and making silly assertments in this thread for months.
