Welcome to r/CryptoCurrencyMeta. This subreddit is for discussing improvement ideas, Moon governance proposals, and moderation regarding r/CryptoCurrency and affiliated subreddits.

Before Participating

Read the rules. All r/Cryptocurrency rules are enforced here along with few other specific rules. Most especially, witch-hunting/abuses/calling names are not allowed here.

Please note that this is not a sub to air or address personal moderation concerns. Do not create a thread here if you were banned or if your individual thread was removed. These are resolved only through the modmail.

Rules

  1. All r/CryptoCurrency rules are in effect.

  2. Do not start or encourage witch hunts.

  • This includes individuals and teams. If you suspect scams or manipulation, you can bring them to the attention of the mods through the mod-mail.
  • Do not troll the mods.

    • Trolling/suggesting "no need of moderation"/ "remove auto mod" etc is not allowed. These features exist so low-quality content(throwaway accounts, spam) can be auto removed from the sub.
    • Personal attacks or wild claims without basis are also not allowed.
  • Do not make repetitive and erroneous complaints.

    • If any user/coin/project does so, they will not be allowed to bring it up again.
  • Do not create multiple threads about one issue.

    • If a recent thread already exists discussing the issue you have, do not create another thread just to put forth your point of view.

    Why does the "Unreliable Source" tag still apply to CoinTelegraph?

    Is there any reason for CoinTelegraph to be singled out for the "Unrealiable Source" tag?

    I found this old explanation from 4 years ago. However, I don't see any evidence they're shadow-banned by reddit admins. Other subs like EthTrader are able to post from CoinTelegraph without any censorship, which suggests that there is no reddit-wide censorship.

    Overall, CoinTelegraph is one of the better and more accurate sources. I can understand Finbold getting the tag. Cryptopolitan should probably also belong on there.

    Isn't it time to remove CoinTelegraph from that tag?

    [Proposal] Modify Banner Pricing with Discount

    After discussion with a few other mods who are working in "banner sales" for lack of a better word, we would like to propose a discount for multiday banner rentals. You can find the current banner rental price here:
    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lx9w3PJaCbFwfhFyOg82-E_8oEU8iOllu0ohOVbbgiQ/htmlview#gid=779643328

    There is currently no discount for renting more than one day. The maximum rental period is two weeks. So, I would like to propose the following formula for discounts on multiday rentals:

    Day 1: Full price
    Day 2-7: 40% discount off full price per day
    Day 8-14: 60% discount off full price per day

    This formula keeps things simple, and offers a strong incentive for longer banners, which will hopefully help us avoid dead time in banner rentals.

    [Proposal] Set aside 5% of the monthly Moon distribution for Marketing

    Proposal:

    Set 5% of the monthly Moon supply aside for marketing initiatives.
    This portion of Moons would be used to fund strategic campaigns that aim to increase the visibility of Moons, drive user adoption, and enhance the overall value proposition for Moons in Reddit's communities.

    Wallet Details(edit):
    LetCommunityCurrencyBot keep 5% of the monthly distribution and have the same multisig candidates have access to it.

    Marketing Fund Utilization Examples:

    • !Monthly Moon Giveaways/Tips: Run monthly giveaways or tips on subreddits that use Moons, encouraging participation from users who may not be as active or engaged, thereby increasing activity in these communities.!<

    • !Moon Lottery: Host a lottery where users can participate for a chance to win a portion of the monthly Moon distribution. This could incentivize more people to engage with content and increase interaction within the community.!<

    • !Influencer Payments: Use Moons to compensate influencers who promote Moons and Reddit communities in the crypto space. This can help increase the visibility of Moons on external platforms and social media.!<

    • !Banner/Adspace Rentals: Rent advertising space on other platforms or subreddits to promote Moons. This can help reach new users, especially those unfamiliar with cryptocurrency or Reddit’s Moon economy.!<

    • !Campaigns and Events: Use Moons to fund special campaigns or events that drive awareness and participation in Moons-related activities (e.g., crypto education, "learn and earn" programs, etc.).!<

    • !People can propose marketing ideas like Moon governance posts and the best ones get the marketing funds of the month!<

    Public Reporting(Optional):
    Since the wallet is public, the community can always monitor the balance and transactions through a blockchain explorer. Any community member can check how much is in the wallet at any time and verify how funds have been spent, so a reporting seems unnecessary IMO.

    Proposal brainstorm: Differentiate rewards and flair for original user created memes and copy/pasted memes.

    We've had a few weeks of memes now, and it's actually not been that bad.

    But one thing I noticed that could be improved is to make a difference between user created content, and copy and pasted memes.

    There's been a few memes that were just re-uploading someone else's work, took 0 effort, and are earning as much as someone who created an original meme.

    Purpose:

    Encourage original content creation on the sub, and make it more fair for the level of effort involved.

    Proposal:

    Meme OC: get 0.5x (double the current amount), and up to 4 in the top 50 (the current limit is 4).

    Meme Non-OC: get 0.25x (the current amount), and only up to 2 in the top 50.

    The current limit is 4 memes. This would create a separate limit for OC and non-OC, and an increase to 6 memes total in the top 50.

    What is the difference between OC and not OC?

    OC is anything a user created themselves. Even if they used a template and typed in their own text, or altered any significant element.

    Non-OC is where a user simply re-uploaded an existing meme, with little to no significant alterations that would make it its own new meme.

    How is it enforced?

    It will be primarily self enforced by users.

    But users who abuse this can be reported, and the mods can take appropriate action on the content, account, or distribution.

    [Proposal] Reinstate a Karma Cap

    This proposal is a dev requested modification of Kirtash's here. It should function basically the same but be far easier to code and maintain.

    The new cap is 1% of the total distribution. Based on recent distribution data, it should only affect about 15 users per month.

    For reasons to support a karma cap, please see the original CCIP.

    Stop burning moons instead add liquidity for arb one/arb nova bridge

    I've been seeing we're burnig alot of moons while we lack liquidity on the arbitrum nova/arbitrum one bridge

    Why don't we use those moons to provide liquidity on celer bridge?

    like make a new wallet with multi sig and let the banner rental moons transfer to that wallet and provide liquidity on celer bridge?

    i don't think it'll do any harm to us either way because we aren't going to sell them the worst case would be celer bridge getting hacked but that's the very rare case.

    Why Memes and Not AI?

    Posters are not allowed to post AI generated content, for obvious reasons. Its low effort. So why do we allow memes? They are even less effort as I can basically guarantee the ones being posted aren't posted by their creators. Its low effort and contributes nothing

    [Proposal] Hire me as Graphic Designer to create Visual Content for Moons’ and Main Sub’s communication.

    Considering the nature of my work, I made a kind of pre-proposal on r/cryptocurrencymoons to showcase a glimpse of what can be done.

    Here is the link to this post.

    #Why would you want to hire me ?

    1/ I’m a professional 3D and visual artist.

    My main abilities are :

    • Modeling and rendering original pieces I design myself or on-demand

    • Creating visual content such as social media posts, product visualisation, graphic design (including logos and graphics)

    • Having a background in product design and a creative mind to always come with new ideas

    2/ I am deeply invested in the sub for more than 3 years, primarly focused on helping out new members/beginners understanding concepts, tech as far as I can, and how to behave and interract in the sub.

    3/ I am a Moon holder and enthusiast, believing in the project’s success, not only in terms of price action but also its original and functional usecases that are truely unique.

    4/ I’ve been participating in (and winning almost every) creative contests in the sub from the badge creation a few years ago to the recent default banner on the main sub.

    I’ve created GIFs and still images for Moons, refining my style over the time according to every feedback I received. I know how to adapt and receive constructive criticism.

    5/ As you can see in my linked post, I’ve spent a few hours over the last two weeks creating exhaustive content with the will to have a coherent visual identity. From icons, stickers to shill posts and internal communication, everything is homemade.

    #What am I bringing ?

    1/ A modern, sleek and coherent visual branding for everything this sub could communicate about. Same goes for everything Moon-related.

    2/ Releasing every asset I’ve crafted for everyone to use freely, to make either Sub Emojis, Telegram Stickers, Shill Posts, Sub collabs and Events communication (including AMAs, Giveaways, MoonWeek and Distribution, etc)

    3/ Continued and reccurent work, to be determined with the Mod Team, such as :

    • Special Events (Christmas, Halloween, Easter, etc.)

    • Special requests (Custom Icons, Banners,…)

    • Educational content (Guides, potentially short videos but I’ll need some time for this).

    4/ A Graphic Pack including my editable templates along with my ressources (such as backgrounds, font, logos) for anyone that would need it.

    5/ My will to not only aim for good, but the best.

    #What am I asking for ?

    1/ Because, as an artist, I’ve struggled a lot in the past to get people to understand this is worth something and not just a hobby, I’ll be very clear about it :

    Every kind of labor should be rewarded.

    2/ I’m not here to beg, or force anyone into something. Everyone will see a different value in what I can propose, which is why I’ll only ask for a community fund to help me for the continuous work to come.

    There is no fixed amount or goal, as this is not a commissioned work. It’s up to anyone’s good will.

    Since there is no work contract or anything, you can only trust me, which feels wrong in the trusless world of crypto, I know that.

    3/ Feel free to correct me and advise alternatives for a retribution, I’m truly open minded and hope you understand my point of view.

    #What’s next ?

    To be released in the coming weeks, not necessarly in that order :

    1/ More icons ! Any new idea is welcome.

    2/ Beginners Guides for Moons and Basic DeFi.

    3/ More shill posts.

    4/ Visually updated GIFs in High Def.

    5/ Sub Emojis of Top10 coins (if we can add them).

    6/ Event Banners for upcoming AMAs (to be discussed with the Mod Team).


    Thanks for your time reading that post. Hopefully this is clear enough, feel free to ask me anything.

    Expand Banners and Event engagement options to rCryptoMarkets and rCryptoCurrencyMoons

    With Crypto making a retail comeback our sister sub r/CryptoMarkets is seeing an uptick in sub activity. With the increase in sub activity there is talk to how to take advantage of the different Moon engagement options on that sub.

    This posts aims to solve that question by proposing a simplified method of incorporating r/CryptoMarkets and r/CryptoCurrencyMoons into the different engagement options we currently run.

    ----------

    I propose we add the CCMoons Banner and CryptoMarket Banner as part of the Banner engagement option. Meaning when an entity customizes the banner for r/CryptoCurrency we will also customize the banner for r/CryptoMarkets and r/CryptoCurrencyMoons as well with the same banner for that party. Meaning all 3 subs get the same custom banner.

    For events I propose we pin and crosspost events on rCryptoMarkets and rCryptoCurrencyMoons, with locked comments. This will direct users on those subs to rCC to comment and consolidate discussion of the pinned content all in one place on r/cc.

    ----------

    The alternative discussion is to run events and banners separately for CryptoMarkets. As someone who is key in engaging with third parties I think this is a terrible idea as it significantly complicates our engagement options for third parties by creating additional calendars and additional pricing tiers that we have to walk 3rd parties through when discussing the different options.

    Pricing of events and Banners are also up significantly currently 14k Moons burned for an Event and 11.5k Moons for a banner day. (due to increase in sub activity and increase in the cost of Moons not being completely factored into the calculator)

    This proposal will make the increased cost to engage on rCC during the bull market more attractable to 3rd parties as they will get more from the different engagement options compare to not doing this, thereby decreasing the likelihood that we need to run governance to drop the costs of our engagement options.

    [Proposal] Introduce a Moon-Flair/Tag System

    1. Introduce a "MOON" Flair/Tag
    Posts with this flair/tag should be the only ones eligible to earn Moons and the comments inside that post. This ensures that if someone wants to earn Moons, at least they need to actively promote Moons by using the MOON flair/tag.

    2. Implement a Cost for MOON-Tagged Posts
    Posting with the MOON flair/tag should require a small amount of Moons:
    The fee could be sent to a burner address or the treasury.

    Posts should remain locked until the required Moons are sent,
    or even better, if the amount could be automatically deducted from the user’s Moon balance.

    3. (Optional) Offer Additional Benefits for Paying More
    Users who are willing to pay higher amounts could unlock extra perks, such as:
    -Pinned comments at the top with their custom message.
    -Eligible to promote their product/self via links etc.

    ​

    My Conclusion:
    By introducing a small fee to use the MOON tag/flair in order to earn Moons, users are incentivized to:

    -Think more carefully before posting.
    -Put greater effort into creating high-quality MOON posts.
    -This would likely improve the overall quality of MOON-tagged content and at the same time, it promotes the visibility and utility of Moons through the dedicated flair/tag system.

    Suggestion to enable Community Guide and Community Status features on different subs

    Hi!

    I have just noticed that r/cryptocurrency or neither of the subs belonging to the same ecosystem have enabled or used none of this features.

    I believe it could be interesting to enable and properly adapt to the different necessities now that crypto will start going up and people will flow back.

    Here in this link to imgur you can see the features I am talking about https://imgur.com/a/fmrJmH9

    Community Guide basically pops up in new users (you can always access it in the side bar) and it basically introduces the sub and also let you put links to whatever you want. Interesting to drive attention to ccmoons or whatever.

    Regarding the Community Status part, it is great to "promote" activities like AMA, or whatever pinned thing you want and that could help to "pump" the attention to whatever.

    Thanks in advance!

    Reserved .moon domain discussion Thread.

    Hey r/CryptoCurrency community this post is in regards to Reserved .moon Domains, and to provide clarity to the community in regards to any domains that are being reserved by the mod team.

    rCryptoCurrency is being given a number of free domains to distribute between our team and our community.

    Of the team domains the following are being reserved by different mods.

    * GabeSter.MOON by u/gabester
    * sgtslaughtertv.MOON by u/sgtslaughtertv
    * nano.MOON by u/nanooverbtc
    * CryptoMaximalist.MOON by u/cryptomaximalist
    * Moustache.Moon by u/mrmoustacheman
    * Mvea.moon by u/mvea
    * Snorlax.Moon by u/largesnorlax
    * Maeron.Moon by u/MaeronTargaryen
    * Baklavamaster.moon by u/baklavamaster
    * 002timmy.MOON by u/002_timmy
    * ominous.MOON by u/ominous_anenome
    * spacesider.moon by u/Spacesider
    * rcryptocurrency.moon to stop any nefarious actors from pretending to be us.
    * cc.moon to stop any nefarious actors from pretending to be us.
    * cryptocurrency.moon to stop any nefarious actors from pretending to be us.
    * TMD.moon for The Moon Distributor Multi-Sig
    * cryptomods.moon to stop any nefarious actors from pretending to be us.
    * rickribera93.moon by u/rickribera93
    * CommunityCurrency.moon for u/communitycurrencybot
    * jwinterm.MOON by u/jwinterm

    -----------

    In addition to the above 20 mods are reserving the following five domains:

    * New.moon
    * Waxing.moon
    * Full.moon
    * Blue.moon
    * Blood.moon

    The above five domains are being reserved for the purpose of giveaways for different award tiers. More to come on this later.

    So mods have the above 25 domains reserved.

    -----------

    Community Feedback Request

    In addition to this I would like to get community feedback on reserving 10 domains for X opinion leaders to see if we can reserve a free .moon domain for them on the condition that they add .moon to the end of their X name for 1-4 weeks. (no tweets or anything else required from them).

    This is an idea I'm toying with so please give your feedback on if you think we should do that as well.

    [Proposal] Pay 5% commission to whomever brings the banner rentals/AMA burns

    While BTC ATH is upon us and the bull run is near then ever the banner is still not rented most of the time

    i think it's time to reward the people whomever brings the moon burns from banner rentals/AMA burns

    how would we do that?

    Simple, tell the company to pay 5% the burn amount to whomever contacted them (in moons) either let it be a MOD or any other person

    pros

    • Might see increase in banner rentals
    • increase moon burns
    • Whoever will bring the advertisers will be rewarded

    cons

    • i don't think there's any cons about this TBH

    [Proposal] Let people post confessions and self stories

    Self stories and confessions are fun to read and the sub is lacking the fun.

    the way sub is right now it's full of links/boring content to get engagement i think self stories/confesssions are fun way to go.

    some rules which we might have to apply.

    • Make a flair of self stories/confession
    • Reduce karma for this flair from 1x to 0.25x
    • One self story/confession per person in a 3 days.
    • self story/confession will be added to theΒ limitsΒ at a rate of 4 posts in the top 50 per day.
    • No begging allowed

    [Proposal] hold giveaways on both X and reddit

    I made this proposal a while ago but it didn't go to voting because i didn't specify the things specificallyΒ 

    *copy and pasting from the previous post*

    " I noticed to attract people's attention we have to do giveaways more often for example

    nano held giveaway and as of now it has 4.4k comments, engagement wise it looks too good to attract people through giveaways and stuff and since reddit community is still bitter towards moons and i think it's time to be more welcoming towards them."

    So as for specifics i am suggesting we should spare 2k moons every month from the treasury and hold giveaways twice a month on both X and reddit.

    (1k moons will be for reddit and 1k moons will be for X).

    since the giveaway will be held twice a month on both X and reddit 500 moons will distributed each time (500 on reddit and 500 on X separately total 1k moons).

    the total winners would be 5 on reddit and 5 on twitter each time

    the winners would get 100 moons

    Like on XΒ 

    the rules will be to enter giveaway "tag 2 friends/people they know and write #MOON"

    and as for reddit, account age should be upto 3 months and 200 karmaΒ 

    On X ccmod (r/cc twitter acc) will hold giveaways

    As for reddit anyone from MOD team will hold giveaway

    (The moons will be from moons treasury. )

    [Proposal] Allowing memes on r/cryptocurrency again

    Memes are one of the most popular things on the internet. Due to Moon farming and spam, memes have been banned for r/cryptocurrency for a long time now. A sub dedicated to it was created (r/cryptocurrencymemes) but despite good membership numbers, it never caught on and isn't very active.

    I think that we can achieve a balance between being a serious sub to share informations and debate, but also with more fun content, in this case, memes. For it to work some rules have to come with the reintroduction of memes:

    • One meme per person per 24h.
    • Memes will be added to the limits at a rate of 4 memes in the top 50.
    • A β€œMEME” flair will be created and will have to be used for every submission. Using β€œCOMEDY” or any other flair will result in the removal of the post and potential sanctions for manipulation.
    • Memes will only earn 0,25x the karma (and therefore the Moons) of a normal post. Just like comedy posts in the past, reducing karma on memes will help avoiding people spamming the sub with low quality submissions to get easy karma.

    As a last hypothetical rule, if technically possible, a meme about a specific cryptocurrency will not count towards its limits, only towards the MEME flair limit. If the CCIP is passed, this last rule will only be implemented if it is not too complex for the currency bot and limits bot.

    Pros:

    • more fun content on the sub.
    • memes will definitely bring engagement. Good engagement can help sell Moon marketing products.

    Cons:

    • makes the meme sub redundant.
    • not everybody likes memes and might want to keep them separate from serious content.

    This proposal is a revamped version of u/dark_deadline 's proposal

    [Proposal] Reduce karma for link posts from 1x to 0.5x again

    A little bit of background about this proposal: this is the reintroduction of a rule that was implemented until Reddit sunseted Moons. Most karma calculations were removed to facilitate the implementation of the currency bot and restart distributions. Distributions have been going on for a few months now so I think we can reintroduce some old uncomplicated rules.

    So why this one in particular? I believe that the arguments back the day were right and are still valid today. At the moment the very large majority of posts on the sub are link posts. The main issue is that a lot of them are not that interesting, but are easy content to post for the OP. When this rule was in action before sunset, we had more text posts that were original an had some effort put into them. I'm hoping that if the karma multiplier for link posts is lowered, we will see more quality content and less spammy link posts that die in new anyways.

    How to Burn Moons

    Moons are on Arbitrum Nova and Arbitrum One. Moons can be burned on either network.

    The Contract Address for Moons on Arbitrum Nova is: 0x0057Ac2d777797d31CD3f8f13bF5e927571D6Ad0

    The Contract Address for Moons on Arbitrum One is: 0x24404DC041d74cd03cFE28855F555559390C931b

    The CoinMarketCap page for rCryptoCurrency Moons can be found at: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/moon/

    When entities burn Moons we ask that they send them to the Dead address which is: 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dEaD

    Moons largest DEX pools are currently Camelot on Arbitrum One and SushiSwap on Arbitrum Nova.
    Alternatively they can be purchased on a variety of CEXs such as Kraken and withdrawn to the burn address above. If you have any questions you can respond to this post with a comment.

    Proposal to increase the number of Bitcoin related posts allowed in the top 50 so it's more relative to it's increased market dominance.

    Currently Bitcoin represents 56% of the cryptocurrency market. It's market dominance has grown in the last cycle after the collapse of FTX from 38% to 57.5%.

    However it's topic limit out of the top 50 post on r/cc is restricted to just 13.

    Adjusting relative to it's market dominance 56% of 50 posts is 28.75 posts however at the moment it's posts are limit is restricted to less than half that.

    [Idea]: Moon sponsored surveys. Users get paid directly in Moons if they participate in polls/surveys/social media research from sponsors.

    Right now we have sponsored polls and to some extent AMAs, where sponsors can get some kind of feedback from our cryptocurrency community.

    Currently, for sponsored posts, sponsors just burn Moons for those posts.

    What if polls and research/survey-specific posts would reward users directly?

    There's a couple of ways to do this.

    One is by having the sponsor tip top comments. Some sponsors already do this by tipping the top 10 or 20 comments. We would require sponsors to reward more users for at least a specific total of Moons.

    Another way would be to configure a page where people vote by signing with their wallets. That page would be setup with the help of the mod team in the same way we do governance polls. Each vote would be paid directly to your wallet by the sponsor.

    There would obviously have to be some measure to get around wallet spamming. Like requiring some written feedback, captcha, etc...

    This could make for more motivated responses and feedback, and potentially more valuable results for sponsors.

    Remember how much response that post giving away pennies in Nano got, and how people were suddenly really motivated to participate when we thought the sub was dead?

    What do you think?

    Before releasing the .MOON domains make a website to buy domains directly from moons. it might require few extra steps to do but it might be possible.
