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: thanks to everyone who donated after this post 🙏 I’ll update the post at the end of the month.

    The only donations we’ve been able to consistently get working is crypto, other payment options haven’t been very friendly to NSFW related things

      What’s a good crypto wallet to use to get started? I’ve not looked at any of this stuff for years tbh.

        cakewallet or monerujo + monero if you want privacy (e.g. the exchange being unable to trace your KYC-verified purchase to lemmynsfw)

        Coinbase can be good for beginners, we use metamask to store our donations, but I don’t know if you can buy from it, I read that apparently cash app and venmo have also started allowing you to buy crypto
