Actually, I meant to write about this surprising news I found yesterday (on the 3rd, when I logged in again after some time), but, I don't know - I think I might have gotten distracted with all the new and interesting posts I found here :-). That, and I guess I just didn't have time anymore :-).
Anyway, here's the surprising news that I heard about - when I logged on to Persona Paper on January, I was surprised to find out about the changes, namely that the exchange rate has gone up and so has the minimum payout threshold. Are there other changes here that I should know about?
I'm happy to hear about the increase in the exchange rate :-). The increase in the Persona Paper minimum payout threshold from $5 to $20 is kind of high, but it's not that bad.
It might just take longer to get there, not that I was anywhere near the initial $5 payout anyway, but still.
Update: Unfortunately, Persona Paper has stopped paying its writers, so it doesn't matter anymore how many coins you have in your bank page there. It's no longer worth anything. The increase in the minimum payment threshold really wasn't that bad at all... if only they'd continued paying :-(.
Here are some of the comments from this article, back when it used to be posted elsewhere:

"As I have mentioned in one of my articles, Persona fulfilled its promise approximately 10 minutes before the 12 midnight of December 31.
"It increased the bank exchange rate and minimum cash out threshold. So far, those are the changes made this New Year."

"I didn't know about the exact time when these changes were made. Thanks for the info. The increase in exchange rate is a good surprise for the new year."

"They announced a rate increase just before midnight, a great New Year gift... others gave bad news at the same time."

"This is a nice surprise for the new year and something I definitely wouldn't mind hearing about on new year's eve. It's too bad some other sites tried to ruin the new year for so many people."

"i am still new here, all i know is $20 is the min payout which will take me 6 months to reach that figure"

"It shouldn't if you continue to post and comment and our numbers keep increasing like they are now."
FreyaYuki replied to peachpurple on January 6, 2015, 11:55 AM:
"Yeah, it might take time to reach the minimum payout threshold but at leas the exchange rate has gone up.
"Hopefully, as more people join the site and interact, the activity will increase and people can reach payout faster."

"Compared to other sites I could but won't mention, $20 is very reasonable. I have to wait for $50 at most other sites."
FreyaYuki replied to BarbRad on January 6, 2015, 12:01 PM:
"Yeah, $20 is a reasonable number. And it might be a bit easier to reach the payment threshold since the exchange rate has gone up."
