I don't think raising pay rates right after
theymos announced mixers will be banned is a smart thing, and I don't think it
increasing advertising efforts is correct use of the month given:
To avoid disruption, there will be a grace period: Nothing will change until Jan 1, 2024.
I don't see what difference it makes. Mixer campaigns have decided to continue during the grace period, and some have decided to raise rates (probably because they have just started advertising and want to take advantage of the remaining month), while others
have lowered them. It's not breaking the rules anyway and I don't think it makes much difference. What will make the difference will be the ban from 1 January.
I agree with LoyceV, raising the rate will not make any difference as the objective is to advertise within the forum till the 31st of December. Fighting over the rates and trying to make their respective Signature Campaign better than the other is an insane approach. Both of them knew that these mixer campaigns would eventually end by the deadline. I went through the discussion on the campaign thread and I feel both of them should calm down and move on.
I do not think a ban on Bitcoin mixer would make any difference to the forum. What I felt after reading a lot of discussion that the forum has led down the community and those part of mixer campaign are not at all happy with the decision.
