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

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 the limits at a rate of 4 posts in the top 50 per day.
• No begging allowed

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

*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 X 

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 karma 

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. )

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 “MEME” flair will be created and will have to be used for every submission. Using “COMEDY” 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

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.

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.

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.

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?

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 it's time to be more welcoming towards them.

so i suggest if possible spare 5k moons for random giveaways which should be held on both reddit and twitter twice in a month or once in a month.

if twice in a month then giveaway of 2000 moons to 3 winners and 500 moons allocated to whoever comments.

This proposal seeks to solidify a partnership between r/cryptocurrency and Unstoppable Domains in regards to launching a .MOON Top Level Domain together.

• .MOON domains will help expand awareness for r/cryptocurrency outside of the subreddit
• .MOON domains will be minted on Polygon similar to where Reddit Avatars are minted
• .MOON domains will follow a “buy once own forever” approach, there will be no renewal fees
• Once launched, .MOON domains will have functionality across 865+ integrations including: Phantom, Brave Browser, Opera Browser, and more
• The .MOON TLD launch will take place as a pinned/highlighted post by one of the r/cryptocurrency mods
• The .MOON landing page will be linked on the “Moons” dropdown under “Community Bookmarks” and under the “Useful Links” tab visible in r/cryptocurrency
• r/cryptocurrency to burn their share of the revenue generated from .MOON domains

The SEC post limit of 2 is far too dangerously low. It seems as if SEC posts are at their limit 99% of the time, and it's completely blocking out important news from being posted.

This proposal would increase the SEC post limit from 2 to 4.

There were many times people wanted to post important articles but got blocked:

When the SEC's lawyers apologized and admitted that the SEC backtracked and admitted that cryptocurrencies were not securities, I tried posting a few articles, and got warnings that they were already posted. But those articles did not exist on the sub because they ALSO got removed due to the post limit. It took me 2 days of waiting before I could post the information because SEC posts are ALWAYS at their 2-post limit.

Why is there no post about the House Financial Services Committee hearing with the SEC where a dozen Congressmen absolutely roasted Gensler, straight up called him a liar, and got the SEC commissioners to admit in front a panel that cryptocurrencies are NOT securities? This was posted on every crypto news site MULTIPLE times because it was so big and important that it had to be broken up into separate articles. Oh right, it's because SEC posts are at their limit 99% of the time.

There were many other recent topics that should've made it to our sub this week (Sept 22-28) had there not been a post limit:

• SEC Chair Gensler proposing a change in the definition of exchanges that would regulate DEXs as "alternative trading systems"
• The conclusion of the Mango Markets case with the SEC where a DeFi platform was accused of acting as an unregistered brokerage.
• Multiple Congressmen accusing Gensler of disregarding US laws

/u/002_Timmy is currently taking the initiative to launch Moon Merch shop in the coming days and we need your help. Timmy has stated they will be independently running the shop and burning after tax profit from the shop.

But we're still not sure what that would look like:

Option 1: Buy and Burn Moons (simplest)

Option 2: Buy Moons/Eth deposit into liquidity on Arb One and burn the liquidity tokens

Both have unique Pros and Cons: Option 1 will prioritize taking Moons out of circulation while option 2 prioritizes long term price stability by [slowly] increasing Moon Liquidity.

Please note we aren't currently looking at recycling moons into the Community Pool due to potential tax liabilities for the DAO. This will be independently ran by Timmy.

Here is the current view of the shop with some current designs:

Election posts are absolutely pointless, and do not serve the community. In most instances they're just campaign propaganda pieces. And the campaign bots mass up or downvote accordingly.

That's why I suggest we can elections-related posts. No more posts mentioning Kamala Harris, Trump, Republicans, Democrats etc.

As the title says make a proper banner to advertise moons on the banner and add links to the ccmoons and how to buy moons and rent the banner until someone actually rents the banner.

This would increase traction to moons and people will know about moons either way the empty banner doesn't look good so i think it's a win win situation.

For long time users of this sub, you'll remember we used to have monthly trivia. Although that was paused about 9 months ago. I'd like to bring it back as it's a great community building function.

In discussion with u/Jwinterm we'd like to change how it works to enhance the community building aspect.

1. r/CryptoCurrency Trivia would be once a month at a time that works for Jwinterm and any other host.
2. For Trivia we will partner with other online communities. The primary recruitment location for these other communities will be X or through word of mouth.
3. We will provide Moon prizes but we'll also ask for the other community to provide a prize (not required but will be given priority if multiple parties are interested)
4. The Moon prizes will be equal to 500 Moons a month and are as follows

• 300 Moons for first,
• 150 Moons for second
• 50 Moons for third

Through partnering with other communities we'll look to improve our community building and our connections to other communities.

1. How much account age and comment karma do you have? How much comment karma do you have at the sub you're applying for? u/002_timmy is 18 months old, but before that I was on u/002timmy since 2011 (account was lost after a data breach & on an old email). 002_timmy has 25,629 comment karma w/ 9100 on r/cryptocurrency. 002timmy has 32k comment karma. I can't see the breakdown by sub, but the vast majority was on r/CryptoCurrency.
2. Do you have experience moderating on Reddit or any other websites? Yes, I moderate a few subreddits, including r/0xPolygon, r/ConeHeads, r/communitycurrency, r/QuickSwap, and r/opensea
3. If you currently moderate other subs, will this be a burden to your mod duties at the sub you are applying for? No
4. Are you familiar with creating AutoModerator rules or programming bots? If so, what experience do you have? Yes, I've set up the automod rules for a few of the subreddits I moderate. I've read quite a bit about automod rules and how to program certain features. I am not experienced with other programming bots as I haven't had a need to learn about them.
5. What is your timezone? How active do you intend to be? East Coast, US. I will be very active.
6. What project in the crypto space are you a fan of or invested in? While the majority of my portfolio is Bitcoin, I also have holdings in Ethereum, Polygon, Cardano, and Algorand (lol) + a few fun small caps. I also love Reddit avatars.
7. Do you have a vision or goal for the sub you are applying for? If so, what is it, and how would you pursue it? For too long has r/CryptoCurrency been underutilized by major players in the crypto space. I'd work to bring in other projects for events (AMAs), banner rental, etc. The sub has 8.5m subscribers and even in a bear market 100k unique daily viewers, yet projects seems to write off the subreddit as a way to promote. I want to increase demand for MOONs and have the sub be THE place projects can engage in meaningful discussion with users. I have already facilitated an AMA with Polygon Labs and the upcoming AMA with Unstoppable Domains.
8. Do you have anyone who will vouch for you in the comment section of your application? Yes, for the currency mods I believe u/Gabester, u/MVEA, and u/RickRibera93 will vouch for me.
9. If you're applying to , would you be interested in helping the greater CC Network with various duties so we can evaluate you? If so, see the moderator trials section below. Yes, but my vision is mostly help boost the main sub.
10. Is there anything else you would like to add? I see an opportunity to apply for various grants to help take the sub & moons to the next level and would be happy to work on those applications with the team & community.

This proposal seeks to bring back CCIP - 029 Dynamic Karma Cap (https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/u34ppv/ccip\_029\_dynamic\_karma\_cap/) as it was implemented before it was decided to abandon it here (https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrencyMeta/comments/1d12vah/abandon\_all\_ccips\_related\_to\_karma\_calculation/)

The reasons to bring it back are the same ones that originally created the Dynamic Karma Cap rule.CCIP - 029 seeks to:

• Change the 15k karma cap (non existent right now) to a dynamic system that that adapts to changes in activity and karma.
• The new cap would be set at the 99.9th percentile of karma scores, affecting only the top 0.1% of users.
• This system would maintain the original purpose of a karma cap, preventing users from gaming the system.
• It would also remove the cap as a target for moon farmers who use alts and switch accounts.
• The new cap would positively affect 99.9% of users by increasing the Moon to karma ratio.

Options:

• Yes, reinstate CCIP - 029 Dynamic Karma Cap
• Abstain
• No, don't reinstate CCIP - 029 Dynamic Karma Cap

I've noticed over the past month that Bitcoin and Ethereum have been either at their post limits or 1-2 posts away 95% of the time. This makes it near-impossible to post about either of those 2 topics in a timely fashion.

There are several likely reasons for this:

Less sub traffic. Top 50 posts last far too long

(I'm assuming the algorithm is using "Hot" sorting. Mods, please let me know if wrong about that.)

rCC has so much less traffic now, and topics in the Top 50 posts are remaining there 2-3 days on average. That means if a topic was popular 2 days ago and filled up the limit, we'd have to wait 2-3 days before anyone can post about it again.

It's quite shocking, but there are multiple 0-upvote posts in the top 30-50 posts now, and they're eating up the count for coin limits. One third of the top 50 posts have fewer than 10 net upvotes.

This is dangerous, especially if an important security report comes up and no one can post about it.

ETF posts

ETF posts are almost always also about Bitcoin and Ethereum, so they eat up into the count for those topics.

Generic crypto posts

Generic crypto posts not specific to Bitcoin often use "Bitcoin" in the title even, eating up into the count for Bitcoin.

==============

I think we can ameliorate this problem by implementing one of the following:

1. Make it so that posts with fewer than 5 net upvotes don't count towards the limit. It's ridiculous that there are 0-upvote posts taking up the top-50 count

2. Reduce the criteria for Top 50 to Top 30. This will make the Top 50 posts last about 1-2 days on average instead of 2-3 days.

Problem:

We've tried to bring memes to the sub before. I was actually one of the people supporting it back then. I thought it was gonna bring extra traffic and make the sub bigger like WSB.

Boy was I wrong.

It went well for about 2-3 weeks.

Then after a few weeks, it wore off quickly, and then started to become a mess (hence why it got quickly voted back out).

People started to leave, especially those who wanted to see the latest crypto news and discussion.

All that stuff got buried.

The other problem is we kept getting the same memes reposted over and over. People only have so much imagination every week for memes.

It became a hub for meme reposts.

Solution:

Meme Saturdays.

One day a week where people can post memes if they have a membership (so we don't have the issues we had before with flooding).

They'll have the usual 3 post limit per 24 hours.

Membership already allows picture posts.

The only difference is on Saturdays, mods won't delete any meme related ones.

We already saw that even with Meme weekends, people quickly run out of new stuff to post, and by Sunday, it's already mostly reposts. So all the good stuff and all the good memes for the week are posted on Saturday.

Plus, if they run all weekend, people who are there for news or crypto discussion tend to leave. Sunday is usually an important day for trading activity before the week starts and traditional markets open.

View Poll

I would talk openly and passionately about Bitcoin and Crypto but stop now as more often I'm met with... "Bitcoin... That's a scam" or "Crypto... That's a scam".

Speaking honestly there was a part of me that had become ashamed of it.

On questioning, people often talk about bitcoin/ crypto scams on social media or Bitcoin/ Crypto ransom attacks. I try to explain that it's not Bitcoin itself that's trying to scam anyone it's merely Bitcoin is the requested form of payment but they don't understand.

Much of the mislead perception has come from the uneducated media labelling scams as "bitcoin/ cryptocurrency" scams just because that's been the requested payment in a way they don't do with other scams where credit cards, Wire Transfers, fiat currency are used as medium of exchange.

The media are very clear mention Elon Musk deepfake scams are nothing to do with Elon Musk and Taylor Swift Ticket scams are nothing to do with Taylor Swift for fear of being sued. They don't do this when mentioning Bitcoin because let's face it Bitcoin's hardly going to sue?

These "cryptocurrency scam" articles are often posted and upvoted to the first page of r/cc. There's at least one there just now. I suggest they help fuel the misinformation that because cryptocurrency has been used for for payment it's right to report on it as a "cryptocurrency scam".

Probably a famous example is "OneCoin" where there was no Blockchain or Cryptocurrency yet the whole media deemed this a cryptocurrency scam and Ruja Ignatova the "CryptoQueen" as seen on the FBI's top ten most wanted.

The most common ones are social media scams where the payments requested by the scammers are in crypto. I think as a community over the years we've come to accept this type of reporting.. maybe as crypto was niche and any form of news was seen as good. I think now's a good time to stand up for crypto.

Proposal/ TLDR

It would be good if these misleading "cryptocurrency scam" posts could be removed or at least have a flair highlighting that crypto has only been used as a form of payment and isn't the scam itself.

Edit: from the feedback, I'm gonna split these into individual proposal. One for Meme Saturdays, and one for Moon giveaways

What triggers a low activity period:

This will be based on the activity in the previous Moon month, and follow the 28 days Moon months.

If there was at least one week with a 7 day traffic average below 120,000, and at least two dailies with under 800 comments within 7 days of each other, then the special rules will be triggered for the next Moon month (28 days), and announced on Moon week. It will only go into effect for 28 days and be temporary.

If the same low activities are triggered again, then the process repeats for the following Moon month.

What special actions will be implemented:

1- Banners, AMAs, sponsorships, etc...get a campaign on social media with 1 free day for every 2 days purchased.

2- Meme Saturdays will be one day each Saturday of the Moon month, where anyone with a membership can post memes. The same other rules apply like any other posts (3 posts per 24 hours etc).

3- Set aside 2,800 Moons for daily giveaways. 100 Moons will be given away every day for the 28 day Moon month.

This will be at mod's discretion. They can either randomly give away Moons in the daily, reward a post they like. It can be 100 Moons at once, or smaller increments. It just can't be given to anyone on the mod team, nor the mods of satellite subs.

Where will these Moon come from? These will come from donations. So it could be fewer Moons. But the people who are donating will get their names on the next available banner to thank them. People who donated at least 50 Moons will get a free membership for a month. People who donate at least 300 Moons will get a 1 year membership. So roughly the price of the membership plus a little extra.

This proposal aims to offer a free sub supporter level available only to top 15 exchanges according to CMC that list and maintain a fully functional Moon listing (deposits/withdrawals/trading/etc..).

https://coinmarketcap.com/rankings/exchanges/

This free tier would not receive free banner days or free events unless they are listing Moons for the first time on (Arb One or Arb Nova) in which they could get a free AMA [an entity that is listed on Nova could get a free ama for listing on One]. They would however get all other perks unless stated otherwise in another governance proposal.

Increased Visibility will work differently. Importantly the free sub supporter level visibility would always be below paid supporters. Meaning if someone burned Moons to become a sub supporter they would always be above any exchanges that got the status for free. Of course exchange could upgrade their status by burning Moons and locking in the increased visibility. Increased visibility for Exchange free status will be based on their ranking according to the CMC rankings above.
