Introducing the r/CryptoCurrency Sponsorship Program

....

How you become a Sponsor:

Burn two month of the base Banner cost to be listed as a Sponsor of r/CryptoCurrency for one year. There will be a dedicated tab at the top of the sub and a Link in the "Helpful Link" section, for users to easily find and see all "Sponsors"

See this Imgur link for an idea of what the Increased Visibility could look like for Official Sponsors.

....

Additional Perks for r/CryptoCurrency sponsors:

• Comes with 7 days of Banner so party can announce the sponsorship of CC/advertise themselves.

  • This perk = 7 days of Banner Burns

• 2 Q/As during the year (if desired) at No Cost.

  • This perk = ~1-2 days of Banner Burns

• Sponsors can receive one free Sponsored Ad from CCIP-069 every month.

  • This perk = 6.5 days of Banner Burns

• Sponsors get an automated Customized Pinned Message on Posts that they are a subject on.

  • E.G. A post titled: "Kraken Bitcoin volume surges", would get an automated custom pinned message from Kraken if they were a sponsor.

• Eligible for the Official Banner Sponsor Program (described below)

  • This perk = Unknown days of Banner Burns dependent on availability of banner and amount of time rented.

Official Banner Sponsor Program Works as follow:

• Sponsors can book a Banner up to seven days before the current date at a 50% discount for up to seven days.

  • (I.E. if 10/06 UTC a sponsor can book the banner between 10/06 and 10/13 UTC for up to 7 consecutive days if available - at a 50% discount)

The Intention of the Official Banner Sponsor Program is to decrease any likelihood of having empty banner days, by limiting the discount to within 7 days for up to one week. If Sponsors want to book a Banner on a specific date they'd need to book in advance at full price or risk that date not being available by trying to secure a discount.

Important note: Having sponsors receive a perk for renting empty days will allows us to test base price increases in the future, while having a pool of sponsors who could pick up likely empty days at a decreased cost.

.....

Additional Details on how the Program Works:

• In increased visibility sections sponsors will be listed in the order they became a sponsor of the sub. Once a sponsor you will keep your place in the order unless someone above you loses their sponsorship or you lose your sponsorship.

• Becoming an Official Sponsor of r/CC will make you a sponsor for one year, at which point you'd have to renew the sponsorship by again burning Moons based off of the cost - at that time.

• Mods can approve/reject a request to sponsor the subreddit if they feel it is not in the best interest of the community.

• If at any point either the mods or the sponsor determine the relationship is not in the best interest of their respective userbase, both parties have the right to cancel the sponsorship with no refund to the cancelled Sponsor.

• Removing sponsors would not be a regular process that sponsors have to worry about.

• This will only be done in extraordinary circumstances via a Moon poll - E.G. removing a company like FTX or Celsius after they declared bankruptcy.
