my boy blue!
I have used your service since the day you launched it, and I have always recommended committing to its use to newer users. Your plan to monetize sounds great, I hope it works out for you. But could you also just let us know how much those costs (in SBD) might be?
I, for one, would rather donate and continue to trust in your abilities. You weren't down for very long the last time the site was attacked, and this is like an integral cog in the steemit blog life cycle. Why not also ask if people would just donate to grow the server space? Just curious :) I love ad-free and would pay to keep it that way... a reasonable amount I mean, shallow pockets ;)
Thanks @prufarchy!
Well to start I have no way of know what the potential cost of running the hosting will be , all depends on how popular it becomes and how fast it grows. I've heard of some hosting sites costing millions lol so the scale would be $1 to millions , but seriously I have been just playing it by ear and going with what is needed. Once I hit this next milestone or limit I will need a entire new server and will have to port to it etc so this would be a bigger starting price. I will defiantly keep everyone in the loop.
As for donating I hate to ask for straight up donation but I could just simply put up a donate button and not push people on it.
I know everyone loves ad free , and total free ;) but I think by allowing some featured posts the home page wouldn't feel so much like an ad and more like a fellow users post
