As for the suspension/termination - is there a ballpark number of how many seats are suspended or in danger of termination? What would be the benefit to the rest of us if we started terminating memberships?
You would have to get that answer from nonnakip. I suspect there are more than 2,000 seats that have never logged in since after the original migration from GLBSE. The benefits to the rest of us are the removal of a liability, a larger reported ownership stake in the fan club, and an accurate current seat count, which will result in more precise statistics.
Using Nicehash is also a good way to get higher mining rewards than currently being paid, something to think about.
Indeed. I think that setting the miners to take advantage of above average payouts when the opportunities present themselves is something I can do.
Other business units may be a good investment as well. Investing in the creation of a faucet or small payout game could help profits. There are numerous other possibilities as well where expansion could occur.
I would love to see NastyFans with the ability create things like this that generate donations to NastyFans. Anyone can build something that ultimately sends BTC to the donation address.
I think the login period should be extended, I don't think I will remember to login every 3 months to "renew" my seat. I personally believe you should never lose your seats and should always get distributions, but perhaps say after a year or so those donations are considered donations back to the group if you don't login, but you keep your seats.
There are reasons why a termination statement exists in the policy. It isn't reasonable to expect NastyFans to permanently hold the liability for pending payments to users that are impossible to track down. Every effort is made to locate them prior to their account being suspended. The goal is not to terminate users, which is why the policy has not been enforced to date. We are talking about a period of 3 years with my proposal and those in violation of the policy last logged in when the policy was 30 days for each penalty period. I think it is safe to say they have abandoned the project and should be treated as such. Not to mention one of the things that makes Minted Seats special is that there is no membership requirement to own them forever. I do not think it is too much to ask that members sign in once every two years if they don't want to lose any distributions and once every 3 years if they want to maintain membership. If you have an email address listed, or your username is the same as here, you will receive many notifications prior to that point.
