If Bitcoin network fees get higher than shipping costs, it would make sense to start giving participants physical goods for their signature campaign participation. I think it would be cool and probably help cut down on abuse if people had to give their mailing address to be a part of the campaign. Maybe try shipping some silver?
I doubt that giving mailing address is a viable solution to stop abuse because anyone can use drop shipping services or their relatives address to receive the package for them. Using altcoins is still more convenient solution rather than using a physical rewards that will take more days or months to receive depending on the type of courier the sender will use.
This would only be viable if the campaigns were limited to users from a certain country, in this case we have people from all over the world in subscription campaigns...
I also think there are a lot of people here who prefer to remain completely anonymous.
I doubt if OgNasty was drunk or joking when he said this, but in view of his habit of commenting in threads and not coming back to respond to what is questioned about his comments in them I doubt we will ever know.
Do you mean OgNasty that you want Stake.com, which is banned in the US, to send you campaign payments by snail mail to Arizona?
No. Stake doesn't have any issues with sending out distributions. I also don't drink alcohol more than a couple times a year and when I do it's usually on vacation somewhere, not to post on the internet.
I get that people want to remain anonymous and sending things overseas is costly. Still cheaper than tx fees at times. It was just a fun idea as back in 2012 I actually had discussions with a mining pool operator about the possibility of me shipping silver to their miners instead of paying them out BTC for mining rewards. It would be cool to see something like that finally implemented in some fashion after all these years.
