Just saying you can't take a loan and say I will only repay the principal because 0.1BTC = 0.1BTC Grin

Exactly how are donations comparable to loans? They're not.

Quote from: ndnh on May 29, 2016, 05:55:59 AM

Lauda's point is that fiat value is irrelevant (I agree), mine is that time factor(/opportunity cost) should be considered.

Changing the required amount at this time would be unfair to the people that have previously donated.

if I already knew bitcoin then and part of this forum and bitcoin was only $10 I would have donate 50 btc because it's worth to be a vip of this forum but I guess it's almost impossible to donate $50 now..

Why would it be impossible to donated $50? You can donate any amount that you want, just don't expect things in return.

Why is the VIP still available for 50BTC? Why is inflation ignored? Cry

If he had invested the 50BTC elsewhere, he would have had more. It should be accounted for.

Quote from: Lauda on May 21, 2016, 06:33:34 AM

Theymos will not change the pricing out of respect for the people who have donated previously, because 50 BTC = 50 BTC regardless of the fiat equivalent. In other words, if those people had not donated back then, they could have 50 BTC today.

50BTC is entirely sensible unless theymos wants thousands of VIPs around (including you? Shocked

). Then they won't be "Very Important" anymore.

Interesting point. In essence, a VIP tag is quite useless. Making people "important", based on their pouches (both taken into account the prices back then, up till now)? If for example a guy like Paul Vernon would purchase a VIP, what would such say about ethics... As such example, I surely hope the general would be to refuse the donation, and hence denying in unworthy a VIP tag...?

No. I've just provided you with relevant information and wanted to grasp the purpose of this thread.

No what you wanted to do was increase your post count to hide your sig spamming under the guise of being a staff member.

Why else have you said the same thing in two separate post on this page alone?

~BCX~

Ouchie.

But yeah, I don't think anyone is going to be a significant donator nowadays, though I could be wrong. I do wonder when the last donation was that earned the donor either VIP or Donator status. But I'm far too lazy to research this. It'd be neat to have that sort of status but paying that price nowadays would be insane unless you won Powerball or something. Or if bitcoin dropped back to $1.

The last documented donation was april 2015, dont know who though

If I was theymos I wouldn't see any sense in lowering it either.

Just imagin tbis staement.The prices won't be reduced. They may be increased if the BTC price gets really low.
OK SO IT WILL INCREASE IF Btc PRICE GETS LOW BUT WONT REDUCE IT IT GET HIGH? this is why I say too many idiots here. Why are you guys pissing me off with stupidity. How else do you classify an open scam

Then why are you still here? Tongue

(I believe that makes you an idiot too. Probably the only one..)

Accept it, you can't be VIP anytime soon.

I mistakenly clicked the donate button then clicked a thread there and was amazed.
50 btc to become vip here?
I saw that many people already donated.
Counting the donation , It meab theymos and co got about or more than 5000 btc to share. I drank so much so maybe i didnt see that clearly. Please can someone with clear eyes confirm if thts what i saw?

Confirmed. Cool

50BTC is entirely sensible unless theymos wants thousands of VIPs around (including you? Shocked

I will give you my point when you make a point. You are pointless now

Read it again?

If there are too many VIPs, they won't be Very Important anymore.

To be honest, I have no intention in replying to your silly questions. No offense, but your stupidity is just beyond my imagination.

The prices of VIP/Donator tag will be increased if the BTC price gets really cheap is because:
- all of the members on this forum can afford 50 BTC by then.
- every member donates 50 BTC each.
- VIP/Donator tag will become worthless.
- there is no point in having VIP/Donator tag anymore.

I'm sure the only people who donated 50BTC did it a long time ago, when Bitcoin wasn't worth much.
Since they donated a long time ago, they have been on the forum a long time and the VIP status shows this.
We probably won't see any new users with this title unless they want to spend a lot of money to get it.
And that's okay.

The logic of 50btc then is same as 50btc now didn't make sense. There have been changes in value and supply. People invest in btc because the fiat value.
50btc for vip is just ridiculious.
50btc then won't get you what you get with 50btc now

Quote from: malevolent on June 29, 2013, 01:55:06 PM

The Donator/VIP tag prices are in BTC and they are not pegged to USD.

Quote from: theymos on August 20, 2012, 06:51:04 PM

The prices won't be reduced. They may be increased if the BTC price gets really low. Additional lower-price statuses may be created later. I don't want to manually deal with too many payments, though.

Quote from: theymos on March 25, 2013, 10:42:02 AM

I intend to add new, cheaper donator ranks. I won't decrease the price of the old ranks, though I may rename them (to "Donator+" and "VIP+" or something like that).

Quote from: theymos on March 26, 2013, 11:49:17 AM

I said a long time ago that the prices would remain the same, so I can't change this policy now in any case.

Quote

Are the new ranks' price going to be variable or adjusted every x days or months depending on BTC price?

Maybe. I haven't thought about it much yet. The forum doesn't need donations, so I'm not going to create another donator level soon.

whats the matter, it hurt your feelings? Forget it if you can't pay that much to be a VIP. You still can go on with your life anyway.

Someone asked what I meant by idiot. This guy here is a definition of what I meant
