I think that the forum should be reopening the donation section, even without offering a special title, some people want to donate as a support to the forum and they can't.

the donate button is always open if people really wanted to support they can just send btc from the address mentioned on the donate button. if you check the address there are still people donating to the forum.

As stated, individuals can and do donate to the forum: https://www.smartbit.com.au/address/17RTTUAiiPqUTKtEggJPec8RxLMi2n9EZ9

Now a month of hosting will be worth about 0.01btc.
Really nice to see the list of people that really mad this forum going live, we couldn't survive without those early donators.

Now donate 10 bitcoins in good condition. It is very interesting to read history and to represent those moments what they were in the past.

So amusing to read posts from the beginning of bitcoin era. 10 BTC was nothing by then. I'm wondering if someone donated 10 BTC today, which was mined fresh, considering present day's difficulty?

Kind of similar to the now infamous "Pizzas for 10,000 Bitcoin" event

Are people still donating?

I read the response to this, that the last time it was updated was last year, and I think that's a good thing. Bitcointalk doesn't need any more donations as far as I know, and I think such donations (10BTC, or even 1BTC) are a waste of money at this point. That kind of money would be better spent as a donation to a hospital or an organization that does good for the community. As much as I'm a fan of this forum, there's no way I could justify giving preference to it over a library, children's hospital, or a charity.

Even though a lot of charities are corrupt at worst, and waste money at best, I think bitcointalk would probably just sit on the funds and NO good would come of it. The "donator" tag doesn't impress me anyway.

You write a lot of sense. Having view the Donator status next to an avatar or username does not impress me either but it also does not take away from the fact they donated (albeit years ago) to support the forum.

In love with Bitcoin!! 💓💕

And if someone is still adamant on helping Bitcointalk financially, then maybe they can buy ad spots (not signature spots) on this forum. That way you will help the forum also and promote your business/initiative also, both at the same time.

are there meanwhile adjusted BTC amounts for the donations?
since some time the 50 or 10 BTC are a bit much

i think there would be enough users to donate. however, the amounts would have to be adjusted.

Exactly what I thought when I saw this amounts. This is 83.000$ as for today and this is the minimum amount of donation 10BTC which is a mindblowing figure. I think this should be lowered to 1 BTC and there will be few people happy to donate. If donations are not needed any more this should be clearly said or if there are no special ranks issued to donators.

The donation address for this forum currently has 278.1176665 BTC.

I have 0.08 BTC, but at least I have 0.08 BTC, some people have none.

Mindboggling figures if they are correct Shocked

With Bitcoin price so high there is no need for anyone to donate now. For those that do, they are paying so much

There's none and there won't be any (we're in a BTCitcoin forum [regardless of the equivalent value in USD] + it's unfair to those who donated in the past).

Maybe but this forum no longer needs donation (it's "self-sustaining").

Interesting. Which projects are being run by OGNasty Tesla PowerWall?

I believe Gunthar means nastymining, take a look here : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/112kw-solarwindman-nastymining-green-energy-project-1783328

P.s : if you want to join it then like any other projects in the crypto world, do your search, study the project, ask trusted members that joined it then take your decision.

Thanks for the link InvoKing, it makes very interesting reading.

I have seen some projects claiming to be super eco-friendly but in the end all crypto investors want returns and most do not care about how the funds are generated.

In an ideal world eco-friendly crypto mining (and all things associated with datacenters, servers, electricity etc) are very important but at this stage of the game most people have no interest except profit. Even most of those pushing eco-friendly businesses forward just want to make a profit and not contribute to the cause. Intersting project though.
