if I donate something I do strongly feel it should be my right to be labeled a donator either way.

The act of donating itself is defined by not requesting something in return.
Otherwise, it would be a service you're buying.

The arbitrary rule that you're rewarded a status title for your donation above a certain threshold is just that, arbitrary.
It's like in my local zoo. If I donate a handful bucks there, they won't be hanging a plaque with my name next to the tiger's enclosure. If I donate a couple thousand bucks, they will.

When did you donate your BTC? What price was BTC at when you donated?

I don't remember precisely, but it had to be somewhere near 10$, so I donated some 200$.

And see, that would be my point. You only donated $200 but you have that title.

As crazy as it might sound, some people value their BTC differently...

I don't understand why the Bitcoin donation amount isn't lower. Nobody right now would donate 10 BTC if that's equivalent to over $4,000. I personally only want to donate about $50 as that's all I have to give monthly. I wouldn't just give a payment once. I do feel as though it's more genuine when it's a monthly payment to show that genuine care for the community and how well it's thriving. It's wise to take support from time to time but demanding it is a different situation and I'd never condone that. Bringing myself back to the donation status, I don't feel beggars can be choosers. If we donate to you, you should take what amount we can give.

There is no minimum threshold for becoming a donator.
There's just a minimum threshold for receiving the "Donator" title.
Feel free to donate $50 a month if you like.

As it is right now, I personally would not donate to the bitcointalk.org forum anymore.
The main reason being that the forum is already sufficiently funded by selling ads.

Either way, I see it as an unfair advantage to people who basically have that kind of money to give. You are correct in pointing out the fact that the site is funded with ads now so maybe I won't donate. I think more would though if you gave them that title for donating a certain amount monthly. Besides, money eventually runs out. The 4k you gave (or perhaps you donated when BTC was worth $1 each) you were considered a donator by giving $10 so yes, that is the point I'm trying to make.

Edit: actually, I don't want to assume. When did you donate your BTC? What price was BTC at when you donated?

Theymos did that probably so the number of Donator will not explode drastically Roll Eyes

Imagine if Donate amount is lowered with today's prices
Everyone can be a donator that way, and why would anyone be a donator if that rank is almost achievable by almost everyone here

P.S Forum actually doesn't need donation anymore since they got a big ads with a bunch of BTCs paid for that Wink

Fine, I see your point but still, if I donate something I do strongly feel it should be my right to be labeled a donator either way. Not everyone has 4k to give randomly to a website and that's what I'm actually trying to convey here.

I believe you can still donate lower amounts.

Well yeah but can you actually get donator status with that amount? That's what I meant actually.

Maybe the admin should create another category, like Junior Donator or something, to 1 BTC donators.

Theymos has stated a few times that the forum does not even need donations any longer. The forum makes a killing from advertising these days.

Depends how long the forum development takes, at the moment the forum gets about 50 btc per month in advertising which is far less than the developers are costing. Their pay is also $ tied so shifts in btc can really increase the cash drain.

I'm surprised by how much BTC this forum has gotten though donations.

Most of it was received when the price of BTC was very low.

They have collected donation since Aug 2011, I think bitcoin was trading at $4.72 something then.

ya it is true most donator are from starting of btc time, but their are some donator who are running gambling site so they can afford to give 10 btc for donator id. they are wealthier and by donator account they can improve more for their site.

Yeah, although even most of those cashed it in when btc was <200. Bitmain did it to prevent phishing scammers (there were several each week) and Spondoolies did it to get max rank.
