The last donator is Claymore with 10 BTC in April 2017, more than 4 years ago. Do you know Claymore a miner developer?
I was going to ask who the last donator was who got a VIP title, but happily you answered it for me--and I wouldn't have thought it was that recently someone shelled out the 50
BTC to get it. Bitcoin was in the $2000 range at the time if I'm not mistaken, so that was by no means cheap. Strange that Claymore did that, because apparently he/they didn't intend on using the account all that much. Their last activity was back in 2019.
So OP, hopefully you got your answer and welcome to the forum. To overcome those Newbie restrictions, a Copper membership is one option, but another--cheaper--one is to rank up to Jr. Member, which only takes time, some posts, and earning a single merit. Members with sendable merits may give you one if they like your post, and the ranking system here depends on them. See
this thread for more about merits.
By the way, it's a courtesy to the forum that you lock your thread when you think it's outlived it's usefulness. If you leave this one open for long enough, you'll keep getting the same answers over and over. A lot of members are paid to post, so they'll just write anything.
Edit:
Since the OPs question was answered, we can lock this thread.
Oh, derp. I didn't even see you'd written that too.
