₿uy / $ell ..oeleo ;(
What the hell the OP is crying for ??

The price is 0.00454114 BTC, this is less than 25 EUR.

Where can I rant about the crazy NOK drop from yesterday and huge part of our savings is gone?! Don't complain about 25 Euro man.. this is like nothing... the sig spammers are doing this for a week of shitposting.. well this is what you should rant about!

You have been on this forum for 1 years, 3 months and you never complained about the fee not until today. It's not a most you pay for copper membership if you think you could make constructive posts.
Copper membership only gives you privilege to post images as a newbie. Try to rank up and stop complaining here. Same membership fee is what is being used to maintain this forum.

It's probably a troll account. First post today since June 29, 2019.

But no worry, you can choose to earn 10 merit if you don't want to spend your Bitcoin/Grin on Copper member.

the way I see it, this was just another attempt to get those 10 merits.
normally i am willing to help (as you can see here: [TOP-200] Members who support newbies) but the thread doesn't convince me.

the first topic of the OP was already in 2018 about the topic: Images aren't displaying in posts
and how the thread went there shows me in any case that this is not about a solution oriented user.
The questions have already been answered. Sorry but I'm out of here Wink

There are lies, damned lies and statistics. MTwain

Pst, Pst … There are less people posting on the forum now, so earning a couple of merits should be way easier, and scaling up to Jr. Membership is therefore virtually cheaper (0 units of any cryptocurrency + less effort) these days. Hush hush …

Absolutely disgusting that as the word is in chaos - people are loosing their jobs.
Are you talking about something about the virus right now, all countries are closing public activity, so you lose your job,
so you want to take part in this Forum and make an issue of (copper members) formed by Theymos / forum today.

Btc Down, you don't need to mind copper members for just a few cents, because you can put up a sig, and work on the Bounty campaign.

You registered in 2018 with 10 posts in 2 years, where have you been all this time, if, you felt stingy for a few copper member cents, if, you want to work in this forum it's easy for you, forget copper members, make some good and meaningful posts, you can work and exceed copper members, so you can save a few cents that you havehave.

I can't connect this meme with the topic but it made me to laugh AF. May be you want to post it in the BitcoinTalk memes topic? That will be a great fun.

OP really needs to post image I guess. Sure theymos needs to have some curse. May be we can send him to Italy?
/S

I was actually responding to Pharmacist's post in a joking manner, haha.

Sure, I'll just drop one in that thread later. Glad it made your day Cheesy

There is not actually a membership fee to join the forum. The Copper Membership is something that allows new users to unlock certain features that are normally reserved for more experienced members, such as posting pictures and having shorter wait times between posts. The cost has historically been kept consistent over time in terms of USD.

If the forum does see an uptick in actual new users (not necessarily new registrations), I would encourage the mods to create a new, lower-cost paid membership that decreases the wait time between posts that would make it easier for actual new members to learn about and discuss bitcoin in these uncertain times. The cost would need to be high enough to make spamming expensive.

The goal of this would be to lower the barriers for intelligent discussion among people who have an actual interest in learning about and discussing bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. This should get potential new users to choose to use bitcointalk over competitor forums that promote altcoins to be bitcoin (falsely).

goddamnit Theymos. Imagine if Theymos didn't double the "paid membership fee" right? People would actually end up having jobs and we could actually be able to get rid of world hunger and poverty! Smh mods.

You're completely correct. In fact, theymos should be offering financial stimulus to everyone to further help increase demand and to lessen the impact on the economy. It's a shame that the central bank of theymos isn't following the direction of the Fed and performing quantitative easing to pump the price of Bitcoin while cutting interest rates to allow crypto businesses to borrow more.

Theymos is an evil monster for gouging those starving, jobless people of the world who desperately need a copper membership, I agree.  The cruelty is almost unparalleled and he probably should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity.  I'll leave it to OP to make the phone call.

[1] I think this is not about Bitcoin discussion.
[2] If you are referring to copper membership fee, it was already increased early last year way before the virus (if you are referring to it) removed some people from their job. I haven't been updated on a much recent increase in fees-- copper membership and evil fees-- though.
[3] Quite frankly, I cannot see a necessary or relevant connection between people losing their jobs and the reduction of copper membership fee in bitcointalk.org. Would it help the people who have lost their jobs if the fee here is reduced?
[4] If I am not mistaken, moderators only moderate posts and do not decide on the copper membership fee.

These related threads might help:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/the-cost-of-copper-membership-will-raise-considerably-5097960
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/is-bitcointalk-copper-membership-fee-increase-5103849

Plus this:

Has anything been written anywhere about the reasons for this? I can't imagine it's a money making measure. I also can't imagine it's going to deter the people who aren't already deterred by it.

It's just that I last changed the price when the BTC/USD price was $12k, so it's drifted from the intended value. Evil fees will also be updated.

The price will be fixed in bitcoins so imagine what will happen when we enter a bull market again.

Then I'll (eventually) adjust it downward again. I like to keep the BTC-denominated price pretty stable and not change it every time the market freaks out in either direction, but it's supposed to have a vaguely consistent real value.

And a little saving tip:

OP, you also have the option to pay for copper membership with Grin (2.25 x $8.81=$19.82) will save you around $3 or $4 dollars.

Follow this thread for more information.

Absolutely disgusting that as the word is in chaos - people are loosing their jobs - The moderators on this forum decide to double the paid membership fee! Even though the price of bitcoin is down - They should still be HALVING the fee - not doubling it! To the moderators - You should be ASHAMED of yourselves! ~ Wonder how long until this post gets removed.
