I am suggesting a new feature on bitcointalk.
There should be an option to donate to staff or other valued member making quality contributions on bitcointalk. Since this is crypto related forum, donation can be handled with bitcoin gateways. Do you think such a feature will be useful ?
Well... the options are there, the forum doesn't have to do anything special. Let me explain.
* The forum itself no longer needs donations. You can read more details on
the official donations page.
* The staff is paid for their work. But if you want to donate to any user from the forum, whether staff or not, you should start by checking his profile.
Most probably you'll find there a bitcoin address for donations. And if you want to arrange something more complicated, you'll have to discuss/message the user.
So imho we're good and the forum doesn't have to add any feature for this.
