A little note about about this financial status report
  • Throne
    • it is fiat type and I will only add money here when I withdraw it.
  • Cryptocurrencies
    • I will truncate numbers to 4 decimal places.
    • It may not always be up to date. You can check up to date ETH balance by clicking to it.
    • No matter which coin you send from Trocador, the money will merge into Monero.

Yes. And Iโ€™m genuinely ok with big staff spends. Spend it on hookers and cocaine for all I care. All is like to see is that some percentage is committed and shown to be given back to the source code developers.

Agreed, thereโ€™s nothing wrong with making a living. ๐Ÿ‘

Iโ€™d love to see if we could get enough donations going to distribute to content creators? Maybe this is a more mainstream instance/general purpose NSFW, but it would be very cool to see an instance giving ownership to its content creators.

Depending on the jurisdictions involved (where the server is hosted and where the admins live), I can imagine there may be very different laws and regulations governing a forum of user-submitted content and a business acting as a publisher and producer of porn content. A great idea, but not as simple as just having the money to do it.

Spend it on hookers ...

Use the money to generate more content... smart.
