Donations are welcome! (lemmynsfw.com)

Hi. As you may know, I've opened the instance about 12 days ago. Right now, the instance is ranked 6th out of hundreds of instances.

We're now using 4 vCPU and 16GB RAM server for 38€ which is very cheap (Not that cheap anymore. We're using dedicated 16 CPU, 48GB RAM server for 160€). But we need donations to continue uploading media or even to increase the limit and move to a better server against instant load. Also we transfered 5TB of media only in 12 days 🤷‍♂️ Thanks to Cloudflare, this didn't cause much trouble to us.

If you want to donate, here's donation platforms we use:

Open collective (of which I have zero affiliation) is working on taking cryptocurrency payments. Last I checked it was in beta.

You can give evidence where you feel it would be beneficial. But yeh. You could always find work arounds.

If it’s something you genuinely want to explore, I’m happy to volunteer some of my time to help you with implementing and managing that.

The key thing I’d like to see in all instances, not just yours, is transparency in income, plus some sort of transparency as to how much that may be given back to the community and the source code development.

Honestly. What’s done with the rest, I care very little.

How big a proportion of potential supporters do you think would prefer to pay in crypto?

I’m in column A, but not column B. Just for “statistical purposes”.

If we were a non-NSFW instance, I wouldn't add crypto but anonymity is important for some people (me included).

I definitely understand where you’re coming from, I was just attempting to debate cost/value.

Almost half of the supporters donating from crypto, so I don't think its unnecessary.

Cool to know 🤘

I’d probably prefer pay in crypto. Also receive in crypto TBH. Just for anonymity’s sake.

[-] baconboy@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 2 years ago

I mean since you brought up crypto I accept that as a given.

Just think that most people aren’t into crypto as much as those who are into crypto like to think.

[-] Lachlanunchained@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 2 years ago

Oh no. I agree. I brought it up because the instance is already taking crypto payments.
