In case you missed it Special Memberships returned to the sub on May 23rd with users being able to burn Moons to gain a unique icon, customizable flair and the ability to comment GIFS on r/CryptoCurrency.
With Special Memberships near their one month birthday lets review the stats!
45 Monthly Special Memberships have been purchased on Nova (24 Moons each) – (this includes Special Memberships purchased during the Beta on CCMoons) 8 Monthly Special Memberships have been purchased on One (24 Moons each) 7 Annual Special Memberships have been purchased on Nova (288 Moons each) 1 Annual Special Membership have been purchased on One (288 Moons each)
This means we have burned 3,576 Moons since Special Memberships returned. Not too shabby. With users being able to earn Karma towards Moon Distributions in just a few days I have to wonder, if we’ll see an uptick in special members as users look to be able to comment Gifs.

Since Special Memberships returned we’ve been busy brainstorming ways to make an rCC Special Membership…. well more special.
The first idea coming up for a vote on this MoonWeek will be allowing Special Members to post high quality images on r/CC as a perk of Special Membership. Image posts tend to get a lot of engagement on r/CryptoCurrency which would increase participation on CC – and risk a slight decrease to sub quality.
The second idea that’s been discussed is the return of Memes for special members, this one is not coming up for a vote and needs further discussion in Meta. If this comes up for a vote it will likely include a topic limit of 2 in the top 50, so the sub wouldn’t be overran with Memes. Again this comes with the cost of decreasing quality but increasing participation. (2 out of the top 50 posts being Memes isn’t a huge decrease in quality)

The amount of Moons you are required to burn to purchase a special Membership will be updated around MoonWeek 50 in just a few days, based off of the current cost of Moons it will probably increase slightly. (burn cost of monthly special memberships is repegged to $5 each MoonWeek)
If you have any feedback or further ideas on how we could make Special Memberships more Special, leave them as a comment on this post!
