The point of this post was to let people know damus’ current runway, we are not “giving up”, I was simply giving some perspective on how damus’ current funding strategy is not going to be sustainable long term and we will be looking at alternatives. “likely the last year” is just referring to the uncertainty around the business model and funding.

Damus has had amazing support this past year from individual users, opensats, hrf, which has been unimaginably helpful for getting damus to where it is today.

The feedback and ideas on this post have been very helpful, and will be taking everything into consideration for 2024 🫂

Thanks for putting up with my dramatic notes 😆 nostr:note1l2s7wyqg5xz7ke6t20p03t9awk629utr6wxjjmg7k4cqr0eflrdql5p5ke

This will likely be the last year of damus. Will try my best to make this thing sustainable, but nostr clients don’t make money and I once funding runs dry its over as I can only burn saving for so long. Glad I was able to help play a small part in this regardless of what happens. Going to give it my all next year to try to keep the dream alive. Thanks for coming along for the ride ✌️

I personally have zapped splits turned on. I don’t know how much that generates per month. Probably a $1 lol.

Must do better.

Damus doesn’t have enough money to stay operational.

And I just feel so bad.

I’ll keep zapping until nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm works maybe weather related - storm ⛈️ going over Wales tonight

my nearby butcher guy has some amazing steaks

think i'm gonna have to start buying them off him to cook every night rather than have him cook them for me, and skip the chips, just a big jug of cacao and milk

i feel a lot better just on the milk but the beef takes it to the next level

Thank you! 🐶🫂🙏🏻⚡️

Yo what's up with you?

Only 3 days since I started having any transactions routed on my new node and I already hit 1K milestone! I hope this will continue like this. It was only a bunch of small ones (zaps I guess) but that’s not the point! LFG! 🐶🐾🫡⚡️⚡️⚡️
