100 sats \ 3 replies \ @random_bitcoiner 5 Sep 2022 \ on: Dalle-2 Image Generator Powered By Lightning bitcoin
This is cool! congrats on the work!
However I have to do the math here: a 10 USD subscription with midjourney will give me 200 renders a month, so 0.05 USD a render.
At 1K sat per render this currently is 4x that price (0.20 USD). Plus here I have to dispose of my very much treasured sats while midjourney takes dirty fiat.
Not complaining. Dalle-2 might have its own cost structure and you're free to charge whatever you want. Just making a comparison here.
For the 10USD subscription, do you have to KYC yourself?

Fair enough, no KYC on this side, that's a plus for sure. Enough to grant a 4x price? well that's for everyone to evaluate individually.
It might also depend on what you're trying to generate and/or if you want to get around the rules. Just as an anecdote, MJ wouldn't draw anything that contains the word
Jinping for instance, and if you try to go around it you might have your account banned. 🙄reply
I think it's important to remember that Midjourney does not allow for you to pay less than $10 per month. And Dalle-2 doesn't allow an expense less than $15. The minimum amount of money you can pay on describe.photo is $0.20, making getting images on demand. For the person that only wants to generate a few images and not 200, the $0.20 will always be cheaper than $10 min but for $0.05 / render.
