Topic: Get Donator status by donating 10 BTC - page 3. (Read 138661 times)
I doubt anyone would ever donate 10 BTC these days
Just an opinion i think add Altcoin like ethereum litecoin or usdt can be choice to buy copper membership and donation since bitcoin have high fee right now
This is BitcoinTalk, not EthereumTalk or LitecoinTalk. I don't support adding alt currencies for donations or memberships.
And seeing that Ethereum has even higher fees than Bitcoin, adding ETH/USDT (an ERC-20 token) makes no sense.
If you don't wanna pay $5-$10 in fees you could wait for the weekend and make the purchase then. Right at this moment, you would be paying 26 sat/vB for a high priority transaction, which if your transaction has only one input comes out to about $1.74. I wouldn't call that expensive.
Although I feel it would be beneficial in the long run to add support for Lightning network, seeing as how SMF works (and runs on PHP), I don't think it would be a trivial task to integrate LN here.

The below information is good but if I buy the copper membership then "I can be able to join bounty signature campaigns?" because I did not found a post here that properly mentioned that after how much time our membership/rank is increased like, jr, member, member, full member, etc.
Probably not but that all depends on the specific campaign. Most won't accept a Copper member merely based on that rank as it's the signature size they're interested in which comes with higher ranks. You can check out a list of the campaigns at the following link but I can't see any that offer payments based on Copper Membership so I'd concentrate on achieving rank first: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=615953.0;topicseen
Yes, this is what I actually mean that what is the ranking system here? is there any rank related post that shown that how to achieve the higher rank? What is the need/purpose of "Copper Membership" like how it will benefit my account?
You can read all about ranks and merit here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/faq-everything-you-need-to-know-about-forum-activity-account-ranks-and-merit-2766177]
Copper Membership is just like an automatic whitelisting of your account to decrease some of the limits a newbie has, but does come along with a few perks but nothing sufficient enough to join a decent paying campaign.
is there any rank related post that shown that how to achieve the higher rank?
To achieve a higher rank you need a combination of merits and activity points. You get activity points just by posting, but that wont be enough to rank up. Other users have to like your posts and merit them for you to rank up. That means, you need to contribute merit-worthy posts. No thread can help you with that. If you have no interest or knowledge about bitcoin, you will find it difficult to rank up. Browse around the forum and check what kind of posts get merited. Learn about bitcoin and share your knowledge by taking part in discussions and helping others.What is the need/purpose of "Copper Membership" like how it will benefit my account?
It's not going to help you get into signature campaigns. It will remove the 2 PMs per day rule for newbies. You don't have to wait as much between writing two posts as newbie members. And you can post images that will be visible to others on the forum.

As I know, there were few bounties, signature campaigns that accept Copper members with the same rates for Members. Newbies with Copper membership can join and enjoy the same rate. You are right that it is not too popular and also campaigns that accept Member ranks are very little.Achieve ranks also help to increase knowledge then quality of posts that are helpful to be competitive when apply in good campaigns.

I believe a good compromise would be to add an additional donation tier so to not be unfair to those who donated in early days to get their status. Donation amount to get into that tier could then be set according to today's prices.
Why do we need a tier at all. Donation "rewards or staus" are usually only needed when there is a need to ensure there is enough capital to keep a project going. So it makes sense in the early days when value was low for people to send 10 or 50 BTC for the custom title and what not, to promote and grow BTC which is what most early users where looking to do. Now there really isn't any need to create custom titles for donating funds, the forum is flush. Custom titles are much more relevant to what the forum needs now, such as reporters, and quality contributors to content and services throughout the forum. I don't see this happening, I'm just showing that time is more valuable to the forum than cash at this point.
Og pointed it out, people can donate at anytime in any amount if they truly feel the need. It just doesn't come with a title, which is what most people want. It's really just another part of being fashionably late to the BTC party.
Money doesn't last forever. It could be used to make further developments to the forum or maybe even for other worthwhile projects the community deems important, but we could even give the money to charity which would be a win-win in my opinion. We already have Copper Member with some very small benefits so why not offer Silver and Gold memberships etc. I think they would be very popular. Sure, some people would want them just for the apparent prestige or name but there are lots of benefits to more donator ranks in my opinion. If they came with benefits like bigger signatures and whatnot it would essentially make farming or hacking accounts worthless. Higher donator ranks could be given the option to change their name which if often requested but is seldom done and a lot of times there's good reasons for it. At least that would cut out the middle man of staff getting involved and most requests go unanswered anyway. It's also very difficult to rise through the ranks with the merit system and I don't think letting users bypass that by buying a Membership is a big deal. You can already essentially do that by buying an account anyway.
I still lurk here every now and then!
It’s hard to be active though. The forum is such a shell of what it once was. Back in the good old days, I used to learn something new every few posts or so, and I had an interest in reading (if only the title) every single thread on the forum. Some of the drama was even amusing.
I decided to change my name and use my custom title though. My donation is approx $1.6 million USD now, might as well as make use of it a little bit

theymos mentioned something about it when he first introduced Copper Membership but I do agree with Steamtyme's comment...I wrote the system so that I can easily add additional paid memberships in the future, but I might not ever do so. Not sure.

I have my doubts that anyone will become a donator in the future.
Last person to become a Donator was Claymore in April 2017. He paid ~$13.5k at $1350 average price per bitcoin during that month. The lower donation tier now costs as much as a new Lamborghini.
OgNasty seems to be the only active donator, 2011 crazy. 10 bitcoin was just worth $100 wow
And it was worth only $20 a couple of months later.

For 2020 I believe 10-50 BTC is a very large amount for a donator. I think the amount is very feasible to reduce because the price difference is very large between 2011-2020. BTC is moving forward and I think this figure will be too big.
I'm not suggesting admins to lower the amount of bitcoins that have been set for anyone who wants to become a donator, this is my pure assumption.

No offense Theymos but I think VIP is way to expensive. Please lower VIP to 10 BTC which is already close to $100 with fees. 50btc is ridiculous.
fast forward to 2020 here is the worth of the 10 btc you hoped to get @ $100
Copper memberships are approximately priced in dollars, and plenty of people are buying those memberships.

The difference bewteen 2011 and 2020 BTC value is amazing 
In the 50 BTC donator list I noticed "MemoryDealers" so that means Roger Ver also donated to the forum before he decided to take a different path: https://bitcointalk.org/donate.html
