Everyone donate $5 dollars and help the man. I’ll begin

Just did as well

Scary... I'm about to start one... 😱

Zap this man!!

Tell Jack you need an immersion server farm asap.

Just dropped you 30k mate hope it helps a bit

Zapped some. Will zap all the Sats I get.

Thanks for everything

This doesn’t give me a lot of hope for the long term survival of small independent relay operators 😟

I run the most popular public relay, it has higher requirements than most would need

Add recurring donations to app, $1, $3, $5 and then other — that or have to offer some premium service to stay afloat

Working in it!

on it

Recurring donations may be the way to go. I like that idea 💡

This is a good idea.

Is a Damus seed round in play?

maybe if subscriptions aren't enough to keep it afloat

Request an annual subscription option so we can front-load your revenue. 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼

Are subscriptions offered yet? I’d love to support

not yet

I’d love to help as well.

Let me know if you need help with a Business Plan. 🤙

Expiring events on the relay cuts down on bandwidth consumption a lot. Not a great option, but probably necessary depending on the situation. Paid relays can afford to keep data long-term

I can’t believe I still don’t see any subscription model relays. Am I missing something?

Agreed. The single pay model is not sustainable. Subscription is the way.

Someone will implement it eventually. The user table in nostream has a “balance” column already

Damus will have to go to paid if that is the case.

Sending you 300 sats a month to help with cost, 100k more people to go.

You will wing it! 💫 After #nostrica too, the engagement & users on Damus will skyrocket ⚡️

We’re here to help. Name it 🫶🏼

Hey #[3] have you thought about finding through something like open collective?

https://opencollective.com/

If you get “only” 30k sats per day in zaps which I think you can “easily” achieve, it means about 1M sats/month which would be covering most of the server costs.

At the very end I hope 🤞 you’ll be able to live entirely from zaps and other paid services linked to Damus. You’re surely on something big dude, keep the amazing work 💪

I think I just zapped you enough for a 🍩 or 🍜 but I'm not sure. Thanks for building this. You guys move fast!
