Re: Forum ranks/positions/badges (What do those shiny coins under my name mean?)

I'm sure the donator ranking was created when Bitcoin was worth a lot less than it is now. 10 Bitcoins is a lot. I wish I had enough to donate.

I think that must have been when 10 bitcoin was no big deal, because at the rate it is now, I don't see any member willingly parting with that much. I think a review is highly necessary to reflect the present state of things. Would be good to know if any member have actually made this donation till this moment.

They did make it back when BTC wasnt big. however they likely see no reason to change it. they probably have more then enough and the current donators will likely be upset if they lower it because they paid that high of an amount.

Theymos gave the donators an assurance that the amount (in bitcoin) won't be changed, so he is just sticking to that.

I said a long time ago that the prices would remain the same, so I can't change this policy now in any case.

Don't know when the last person to donate 10 BTC took place. But it should be reconsider if only lowering by a little bit. To get more people to donate. Or perhaps create a new donator ranking that's lower. But I guess keeping it at 10 is better than the opposite conversation, which is Bitcoin crashing to the point where 10 BTC is too little.
