Due to the uncertainty surrounding the image storage issue last month, I haven’t been able to update the instance’s expense and donations for two months. Now that the issues have been resolved, I think it’s time to do so.
The latest financial statement as of July 19 was as follows:
| USD | ETH | XMR |
|---|---|---|
| 205 | 0.0145 | 0.9264 |
Since July 19, we have received donations of $25, 0.0061 ETH, 0.0734 XMR. I paid $63.5 per month for 3 months (Jul, Aug, Sep) for server. I also paid $33.5 to our old S3 provider and $16 to the new one. The latest status is as follows:
| USD | ETH | XMR |
|---|---|---|
| -35 | 0.0206 | 0.9594 |
Unfortunately, the situation doesn’t look very promising :) Still, we’ve had worse days. If you’d like to donate, you can do so here: https://lemmynsfw.com/post/87160
Update
We’ve received a lot of donations over the past five days. Thanks everyone 🙏 Here’s the final tally:
We received $355 in donations from 17 different donors. I have converted 0.95 XMR to $277 (since we can’t really use XMR). In the end, we have $597.
Additionally, we received donations of 0.0035 ETH, 0.0062 ETH, and 0.0475 XMR. We currently have 0.0304 ETH and 0.0565 XMR.
Things weren’t looking great when I posted, but we seem to be doing well now.
Unfortunately, they rejected us. I’m not sure why. Do you have any other suggestions for an alternative?
That’s so annoying that they rejected you. The only other services I can think of that still work (Vgen, fanbox) are very clearly aimed at artists which would be kind of awkward, plus they don’t have much widespread recognition anyway…
