Current expenses:

  • Domain Name: ~$9/year. Currently paid through May 2030.
  • Hosting/Infrastructure: $0/year. Currently free through GitHub as an open source project.
  • Administration: ???? I know I've spent at least a couple of hours on this and I wouldn't mind being reimbursed.

Possible future expenses:

  • Domain Name.
  • Hosting/Infrastructure.
  • Administration.
  • Legal representation. Probably won't be needed, but you can't be sure with IP trolls out there.
  • Security. See above.
  • Organizational representation. It would be really cool to get this domain/use made into an IETF standard like example.com. That way it's use could be permanently guaranteed without having to keep funding it every decade or so.

Current payment channels:

  • None.

Possible future payment channels

  • I may set up an opencollective.com collective to collect money for the project.
  • I may set up some really basic adds on the root web page.
  • I will probably not ever put any crypto mining javascript on the root page, But if I do, it will be really obvious and fully disclosed.
