Welcome to SN! :)

Have a dialogue that pops up once after installation, that allows users to opt-in to zap-splits, so that every time someone zaps a post, Damus gets a %

Turn amazon/walmart/etc links in posts into referral links, and have that be opt-in of course.

I think that these are optional might become a problem afaict. People can already "opt-in" to donate to Damus development, no? Do not enough people donate? If so, why not?

But I think something like Damus+ with extra features sounds good. It's win-win - like V4V.

As for lowering expenses, it would be totally reasonable to turn the Damus relay into a PurplePages style contact-list relay meant only to bootstrap gossip discovery of other users relays. There can be a second full fledged Damus relay that subscribers to Damus+ get access to. As it is, the Damus relay shoulders way too much of the load.

I would be interested how much the infra currently costs. Is this disclosed somewhere?

Basically, I am trying to answer this question: How much budget does Damus need? How much is missing?
