I learnt that there was a time forum members donated to the forum which fetched them the titles of donator for 10 BTC donors and VIP for 50 BTC donors. My question is; are there 50 BTC donors who are still in the forum till date. They deserve respect. I have seen Ognaty and he donated 10 BTC and still in the forum till today, Kudos to him. I want to know if 50 BTC donors are still here. Where to find name of donors. https://bitcointalk.org/donate.html

It's my old thread, not updated recent years but you will get some information like their new usernames/ display names that are different than initial usernames. Stats on active & merit status of Donators & VIPsA painful fact is many VIP/ Donator member accounts got hacked, changed hands, turned to scammers or left the forum. Get a list of those members that was given by LoyceV.

Perhaps it would be better to say that they deserve thanks, but you also have to take into account the time in which these donations happened - which was mostly at a time when the price of BTC was very low, and people were mining with their computers and for each block received as much as 50 BTC reward. Given that you posted a link to the list of donors and that you have a tool like BPIP you only need a little time and you can check for each donor when he was last active.

I want to know if 50 BTC donors are still here. Where to find name of donors. https://bitcointalk.org/donate.htmlI was going through https://bitcointalk.org/donate.html just last week, and the donor remark was what caught my attention and guess the username I first rushed to check. It was that of OgNasty. I first checked it at the 50 BTC list before seeing it at the 10 BTC. This guy is worthy more as he is probably the only one among the entire donors who is still active, or should I say most active. He didn't just commit his assets but also his efforts. Kudus! And if you really want to know the active ones, it's simple, just search them name by name to know their last logins and forum contributions.

I would really like to know and even see how they are holding up knowing that they were very early adopters back then and how they are doing now. There could be something influential and interesting about how they have managed to become early adopters and donate that amount. It seems like a great conversation with them. Any list with that in mind?

As you've already been shared a thread link to their list, we must not forget that back then, bitcoin is never what it has turned to be now and those people did so out of their generosity mind to support the community which is part of what we are all having it's benefits today, am sure that most of these donators are not active as before while few among them were still very active, i wonder what someone like me and you could offer if there should be another secon donation.
Let forget about whatever the price of Bitcoin was at the time of that donation. Is only some one with a strong heart that can donate and all those donators are good examples of someone with such heart. Yes, some people can not give out something even when they can not longer use it. They really deserve some accolades for exhibiting that generosity. Hardly to reach ⅓ of that donation if another donation is to be conducted now. It's sad that most of them are not longer here with us again.

Wow! There are a whole lot of them from that data. I never knew so many people turned out to ensure the forum got funds for its upkeep back then by donating to its cause. It's really sad that most of those members aren't active any more or their accounts exchanged hands. Perhaps a greater number of them moved on to better things that caught their fancies once Bitcoin became popular. Anyway, let me quickly add that those coins were donated at a time Bitcoin wasn't that valuable. I'm sure it would be different given the same scenario now. Kudos to those who donated. You guys are the rare gems, despite how it turned out later.

Without a doubt, they deserve all the thanks, even if they are no longer active on the forum, or their accounts have disappeared. Because thanks to these donors, it is possible today for the forum to be very active and with sufficient funds to remain that way for many years. Therefore, all of us today must remain grateful to these people, who at the time thought they gave little, but ended up being a lot.

As a Donator I can tell you that we have our own exclusive section of the forum (which controversially staff members are also able to participate in) and there are a few Donators such as myself that occasionally post things in there. A quick glance at that section looks like TradeFortress was that last VIP to post anything in there.

This is indeed sad. If a hacker successfully claim a VIP/Donator account, it will be disastrous because it will be easier to scam with it. It is understandable that some left the forum and it could also be that some has kicked the bucket. but you also have to take into account the time in which these donations happened - which was mostly at a time when the price of BTC was very low, and people were mining with their computers and for each block received as much as 50 BTC reward.
I understand this. But It will be nice to note that even if BTC does not worth much then, it is only those who has the giving mind that donated. If it was easy, everyone would have donated. As a Donator I can tell you that we have our own exclusive section of the forum (which controversially staff members are also able to participate in) and there are a few Donators such as myself that occasionally post things in there. A quick glance at that section looks like TradeFortress was that last VIP to post anything in there.
Good to read from you and to also know that there is a section of the forum only available to donators and staff. I guess the lasts post there would be somewhere 2021 . Thanks for your contribution and retained passion in bitcoin and the forum at large .

I have seen Ognaty and he donated 10 BTC and still in the forum till today, Kudos to him. I want to know if 50 BTC donors are still here.
If you have time, search manually for the last appearance of the accounts on this list and you will find your answer, or one of the members may do that. Here is the last post information from the Donators section of the forum. Hopefully I’m not breaking any rules.
This is the first time I know that there is a new hidden board. You've been here for a long time, what motivates you to do that?

Legendary profiles of bitcointalk. Not all of those legendary profiles are VIP or donator members but some of them are. 🏰 TradeFortress 🏰 is a famous scammer. Some scammers are here too List of Major Bitcoin Heists, Thefts, Hacks, Scams, and Losses. This year is a sixth year when a last donator donated BTC to Bitcointalk forum. It is about six years and a half. Thanks to Claymore, the first Donator in quite some time.
Claymore left the forum since 2019.

It looks like users lose their Donator status when they get banned. See Alwaysmining's profile. I didn't know that. I remember theymos wrote somewhere that for some solid reasons, he can take down a VIP or donator status. Let me find it for you. Still finding but not find it yet. Probably my memory is about honorable VIP member that can be taken down by theymos. For actually donated VIP members, the badge stays forever. About the banned case you listed, is it a glitch? I really believe it is a glitch because logically a banned VIP or donator account can not lose the badge. A banned account can be better than a scammer account. See. I'd guess that there are 2-3 VIP scammers and 3-6 Donator scammers.
The fun facts about % of scammers among VIP and Donator members are higher later. DetailsGraphs made in 2019. Meanwhile, I have this. Maybe they didn't donate 50 BTC but were gifted the VIP status because of their contribution to Bitcoin and the forum.
Right. I posted about this somewhere when I did it. IIRC MagicalTux also got VIP without paying 50 BTC because he contributed significant resources in other ways. MagicalTux got "free" VIP status for hosting the forum for a long time, too. I think that him plus Hal are the only free donator statuses I gave out. You'd have to do something pretty extraordinary to convince me to give out another free one.
I don't see any point in donating 5 BTC now and then 5 BTC later. You won't get Donator status until you've donated a total of at least 10 BTC. It'd be better for you to earn interest on the 5 BTC somewhere until you're ready to pay 10 BTC. The forum isn't in need of money.
I gave Hal a VIP tag even though he didn't donate because he is nearly as much of a Bitcoin legend as Satoshi IMO. He received the first-ever Bitcoin transaction, and he's been contributing to Bitcoin since before 0.1 was released.
Some honorable VIP members, like Hal Finney, not in the donation page. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=42942https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2134As a Donator I can tell you that we have our own exclusive section of the forum (which controversially staff members are also able to participate in) and there are a few Donators such as myself that occasionally post things in there.

It is a confirmation for OgNasty's post above. There is now a forum section accessible only to donators/VIPs.

As a Donator I can tell you that we have our own exclusive section of the forum (which controversially staff members are also able to participate in) and there are a few Donators such as myself that occasionally post things in there. A quick glance at that section looks like TradeFortress was that last VIP to post anything in there.
Wow.. I respect you sir for donating 10 BTC. If I may ask you, would you have been able to donate 10 BTC if was now? Because I know too well that now the price has increased so badly nobody at this current economy crisis will release 10btc except the person has 1k to 100k BTC. I do imagine how hard it's to have the least of 1 BTC today to have donated 10 BTC.

Ay! Not sure if I ever took notice of that thread, so thanks for linking to it. For as long as I've been here I've apparently been unaware that there was that much turnover of Donator/VIP accounts--though it probably shouldn't come as a shock to me. Account selling was very much tolerated up until the point where people started to realize how harmful it could be, and there was that huge hack back in 2017 from whence so many bounty shitposters got the seed to start their horrible careers. Jesus, I think I remember that whole thing going down from my lurking days. That's definitely a username I'm familiar with, whereas many of the other ones don't even ring the faintest of bells.

Logically, nowadays, few would "remember" to donate 10BTC. We have to think about the monetary value that was being donated at the time. $10, $25, $50, $500 or $1000? Probably that, so it was logical donations for height. Today the same type of values could also be logical, but it would no longer reach 10BTC. Thanks for sharing this link. I didn't know it and it has very interesting information.
