Thanks @AG for sharing my previous post #698471 about archived territories. Seems like there has been some interest lately from @BlokchainB, @0xbitcoiner, @SimpleStacker, @rootmachine, @hasherstacker, and others to dive into some archived valuables here in SN.
The option to explore archived territories from top/territories/forever is no longer available for some reason. So I thought I'd share the last bit of data I've available since last scrap on the first week of September 2025 before it become obsolete.
I tried to generate some extra fields from the data I had so it hopefully make it easier to chose the right territory to revive. In the case of ~health or ~fitness, one could also compare these metrics with the current ~HealthAndFitness.
Why then stackers should revive archived territories instead of creating new ones?
From what I can say, reviving an archived territory give access to an existing set of posts that not only provide existing content, but also could provide the founder extra sats revenue when old posts get zapped.
Great archived gems are hidden for example in ~ecash, that generated 680 sats/day, and ~apps generated a fat 960 sats/day. These proven concepts continue being unprofitable today with the lease rates of 50k sats/month or 500k sats/year, but still, I think they have proved something.
Many archived territories were net positive (revenue > costs): ~culture for example made 248,959 sats over 605 days despite spending 1.2M (showing massive engagement). There are more gems below.
Data is listed by
Revenue/Day. Hopefully it gives better glasses to see exactly which territories with sustainable economics is worth to revive. Enjoy the data, have fun!:D
