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 ๐ 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.
Whats the preferred method of donation? I assume the all have some sort of overhead so which one would give you the most bang for the donated buck?
As lemmyposter212 said, cryptocurrencies are more stable and have lower commissions. However, for those who don't use crypto, throne.com is still a good choice. We've been using this site for over a year and haven't encountered any issues so far.
