in any case, 50 btc to become a VIP is really a lot
perhaps it was a feasible cost years ago but now it is absolutely high, it should be updated and brought to human figures in my opinion otherwise no one will buy a VIP
Wow 50 BTC that's alot, i thought they might have reduced the amount of BTC paid to become VIP , especially now bitcoin price has increased to a nice rate .
It's funny how various users bring up the topic of buying VIP status is exceedingly expensive. Well, yes it is when you always tie Bitcoin to fiat. (Sure, who doesn't... me too.)
When VIP or Donator rank was made to be purchased, Bitcoin was far less valuable than today. It wasn't a negligible amount but back then somewhat affordable, if you think in fiat space.
theymos already commented on it: the set
BTC price will not be adjusted to current fiat rates. It would be unfair to those who paid 50
BTC, period. In your logic to demand to adjust the price for a VIP rank, would you also want to reimburse former VIPs for the difference of an adjustment? Think about it.
I guess, nobody sane would buy VIP today. So what, who cares?
Maybe those who want to change their user or display name now should've taken a minute or two longer to find a suitable one that can last for the usage lifetime of their account when they registered it.
