~Econ only costs 100 sats for a post, but it's also the one territory I know of that crowdfunds.

it is a great initiative and look's like is the only territory doing so. @Jeff strategized a lot to make it happen, and I think it would be useful for other territory owners to try the same approach.

Atm it's possible to support only the reward pool, it wouldn't be nice to have a way to directly support territories too?

@Public_N_M_E would you consider testing the same approach?

It's suggestive of what will be possible over time. Those guys are innovators, but as SN grows, and there's non-trivial money / influence to be had by effective territory management, I think you'll see more "overlays" of this kind, groups of people specializing in different aspects of territory mgmt. @siggy47 is another example of innovation in territory-running.

Things that don't seem viable now will likely be later.

It's certainly something I'm considering, the difficulty is finding time to ensure I'm available to interact with a crowdfund.

Effectively every single one of my daily posts and my various weeklies should act as a crowdfund if they were to be zapped proportionate to comments and engagement πŸ˜‰

Zap the owner? Unless you are looking for credit, this is the way.

reply

That's true, but doing so you'll never know if the funds will be re-invested in the territory or not.

I also notice that most territory owners are just sitting back, maybe watching, maybe just forgot about SN. Anyway, just thinking that potentially, territories should have a dedicated wallet that the owner (and other contributors could) have access to.

reply

Sitting back, nah you gotta invest your time if you want to succeed, spend some time in ~Music and ~Stacker_Sports ~Agora is another. Very very active owners.

reply

I love this idea. At the end of the month, if folks have contributed, say, 10K sats to the wallet, the owner gets billed 90K.

Unless they're yearlong or lifetime territories, I can't imagine many active territories have owners that have really abandoned them, since that monthly bill would keep coming up.

reply

That’s right. There are a handful of us paying the the shortfall every month.

reply

My mistake, apologies, there was a territory that made it to profitability, but their posting fees were about 1500. But the name escapes me.

reply

Man, now I'm curious about which one. I know ~podcasts charged 1K (which is pretty much why I never posted there, in addition to the fact that most podcasts I want to share make sense in specific territories), but it looks like it's also archived.

reply

I think ~builders was profitable, but I'm pretty sure it's always been at 1000 sats

reply

Maybe it was ~builders at 1000???? πŸ€”πŸ€” My memory of that post about profitability is sketchy. So it could be this.
