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:

Block 856011 ~2024/08/10 13h00 UTC Block 860330 ~2024/09/09 13h00 UTC Block 864506 ~2024/10/08 13h00 UTC

See the prior month's post for more details @ 604610.

Crowd Funded Contributions for July 2024 - thank-you! @Undisiplined - 25K @siggy47 - 5K @grayruby - 3K @anons - 5.1K Total Crowd Funding = 38.1K

40.9K according to the operational stats.

Shortfall of ~44 posts vs forecast.

Treasury was 41K at end of May. I'm holding off ratifying rules around treasury burn until I see signs of stability in modelling the future. We're still bleeding money, and @jeff is plugging the holes.

These are unchanged.

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.

Do not donate with the expectation of receiving a share of future profits. This is not a security offering.
