Here's my 5k. Maybe you should make another post. You tagged me and I still had trouble viewing this. Perhaps I'm just lame.
Thanks @siggy47
I wish there was a way to toggle off exposing a post to the frontpage. Doubt there is another, use case other than this though.
There's been a site-wide downturn in activity, so it may not be related to the higher posting fee. Of course, posting fees have risen site-wide, so maybe that's exactly the right attribution. Still, I think we may just be seeing a seasonal effect, as activity dipped last summer, too.
I'll do 25k this month.
Somebody should index the posting costs somehow.
Thank you for your continued support @Undisciplined!
Sent 3k for July.
Thank you so much @grayruby!
lol at # of ... getting rendered as a title. Whoops. Only realized after edit window expired.
Kindof sucks that I know the visibility will be much lower on this post, compared to past donations. I'd expect anon donations to be way lower this month. The nature of the tagging, also makes it as if I'm bugging the past donors, and virtually never asking new contributors.

In line with the plan to achieve sustainability (break-even), donations will directly reduce the posting fee, such that donations + forecasted posting fees - monthly rent = 0. The "forecast" will just use the prior month's post-count.
The next Fee Operation Management Committee will announce new posting fees according to the following schedule:

Shortfall of ~49 posts vs forecast. We probably saw posts drop off a bit due to the higher cost.
Treasury was 41K at end of May. I haven't yet decided if I want-to/should-be dipping into the treasury to cover shortfalls or not. Goes without saying, I'm cover the balance each month unless the Treasury does. I'm leaning towards a half-life concept applied to the Treasury, where up to half of the existing treasury can be spent in any given month. I don't know why, but I think I like the idea of a capped burn rate and setting a precedence while I'm the only person with spending-authority, so that hopefully when there are more, the entire treasury can't be spent in any given month. Feedback welcome. I still need to do that cumulative YTD analysis.

If this territory ever runs a cumulative net profit, I'll find a way to do right by the earliest contributors. There is no guarantee of that scenario. Most likely, it'll take the form of "pay-it-forward"-style BTC-adoption/effort/charity.
