The forum doesn't need any more money so there's no reason to create new ranks and solicit donations.

How long can a burn rate of $100k a month be sustained for the development of the new forums ?

Would estimate at least $1.2 million has been spent on development so far ?

It's estimated that 1.5 million has been/will be spent over 1.5 years of programming.

Four programmers have been engaged full time building the forum.

The works out to $250,000 per year per programmer. Even taking away agency fees, I'm in the wrong line of work!

Yeah, its kinda strange that this has not been adjusted with the rise in bitcoin price. As it is, the donation is not for someone like me who got BTC recently, but rather for people who were with it from the beginning. I would donate something, but no way would I donate 10 btc (or 50!!!) at these prices.

So 50 BTC is ~ 12k usd, there are not many who can afford this, and even if I could I would donate it to something like doctors without borders.

I would however be happy to donate $5 usd or similar, but thousands to an internet forum is silly. I suggest that either rates are adjusted, or new categories are added.

It's been discussed. The forum doesn't need any more money so there's no reason to create new ranks and solicit donations.

I like this forum very much. I will donate soon to become a donator. Wink

only a fucktard without a life would donate at this point. all VIPs and donors made their contributions when BTC wasn't worth much.

at this point a 10btc donation is worth around $2.7k. with that money you can take a trip to asia and europe with that and explore and enjoy life so much more. why on earth would you donate it to this place? it's not like it will be put to any helpful use. don't be a sad lonely man...

also looking at your previous posts u mentioned u don't have enough funds to make even the smallest purchases.....

don't make empty posts. this forum is filled with people like you.

But the 10btc will always be worth 10btc and that's the price it is to donate. I think maybe some other donator ranks could be implemented, but it's not essential. I don't think people would want to donate big accounts now just incase bitcoin rises again lol.

Thats too much to get some unnecessary features.

Those $41,000 worth of bitcoins can be used to rent a house for a few months, buy a car, etc.

The forum owner doesn't require anymore Bitcoin and therefore isn't going to lower it. Because, other donators who donated 10 Bitcoin will be mad.

but i bet when they were donated they were not worth as much as they are know so should at least be lowered to the level it was at before or value i meant

10BTC is quite something, is it recent ? I could have understand that figure like 2 years ago maybe.
Anyways...

The amount "10 BTC" is set in Aug 2011 (you can see on page 1 that this thread was created on August 19, 2011, 08:29:22 AM).

But, theymos has mentioned several times that he has no intention to change the threshold.

^You're not VIP material. There are no shortcuts to becoming a VIP.
Prestige and honor are not handed out willy-nilly, young man.
They must be bought.

That's fine with me, I'm not paying 5,670.30 to 28,351.50 USD to a website for "Donator" or "VIP" on my posts.
