I do see the benefits of having Paid Memberships or cost per year License and this would defiantly have the potential to maintain the server costs but, and a big but, I really like keeping it free. It just seems like the way things should be on and around the steemit community. It's defiantly something i can dive deeper into, like upload plans by usage and need...
Having a banner, just in general, could be cool for people to sport on their posts if they desire ;) will need a solid design for that.
Thanks for the great comment.
Then the question is
How much to you need to keep it alive and free, up and running with 20,000 users daily (let's say).
After that, we will just launch a campaign for donation (count me in) + a Steemit posts .
What do you think ?
Its defiantly a possibility and a good idea. I really have to crunch the numbers to figure out what it will be costing at that 20,000 daily users, so I'll have to get back to you on that one. I have a feeling its costly. My next server upgrade will be pretty big so it may be the initial costs and then we go from there.
