Ah, the memories.  From a reply to me made eight days after I started actively posting:

PS
I've seen your account in the Copper member thread, and this Copper membership turns out to be an easy way to distinquish between shitposters and serious posters. Not many Newbies post stuff worth reading, well done Smiley


Reason 0 to buy Copper:  Amidst the spam flood (which was much worse before the start of the merit system!), Copper Membership helped draw people’s attention to my posts.  I only needed a way to get people to not skim past me in the crowd; from there, I can stand on my own merits.



Reason 1 to buy Copper:  The official primary feature of Copper Membership, namely, the ability to embed images while at Newbie rank.  This enhanced the quality of many of my early posts, such as this one from five days after I actively started posting (merited months later by several different people):

I guess they could identify you only once you cashed out. Other than that, your identity is safe (unless you have verified your identify in an online wallet, of course);

WRONG.  For but one of a hundred other ways your identities could be linked, even if you mix with CoinJoin, check out this pretty picture from a research paper I referenced in my earlier post on this thread:


Stop giving dangerously bad advice!

If I do say so myself, that’s an example of a Newbie-ranked post which needed an embedded image!

It is a bit unfair that I should need to pay so that I could provide better quality content for the forum.  But life isn’t fair.  I recognize the reason for restricting image embeds by Newbie accounts.  If a modest fee can resolve that problem, then I am willing to pay the fee.



Reason 2 to buy Copper:  Although it is not promised that this will continue, Copper Membership currently permits Newbies to wear a longer signature—with hyperlinks.  This is important to me:  From the moment I started actively posting, my signature has always carried my PGP key information.

For those who want to promote PGP use by PGP-fingerprint-sigspamming the forum with meritorious high-quality posts, Copper Membership is recommended (but not required!) for participation in my 😈😈😈 PGP 256% AIRDROP BOUNTY SIGNATURE SPAM CAMPAIGN for old-school CRYPTO! 😈😈😈.



Copper Membership—definitely worthwhile.  Endorsed by nullius.
