Only 2 of 50 territories made 100k last month, both found by k00b. Can u guess👀

797 sats \ 105 comments \ @realBitcoinDog 22 Oct meta

In the last 30 days, ~Bitcoin earned 540k sats in revenue, and ~meta earned 125k sats. The rest can't make enough in revenue to cover their monthly dues of 100k sats/month.

Thank you @Coinsreporter for providing me this link! https://stacker.news/top/territories/month?by=revenue

In weighing whether @DesertDave should keep ~alter_native, I've also weighed whether @grayruby, @Coinsreporter and I should co-found ~AITA.

@Malachi17 said he'll definitely zap the posts!

@jeff and ~econ definitely have trouble getting enough revenue to cover their dues. @Undisciplined is already subsidizing the territory w/ 25k sats/mo per this post #637435

But like @grayruby said #735607

Sure. I will invest in you @realBitcoinDog.

So are we starting an "Am I the A-hole" territory to make revenue, or really, to invest in ourselves? And what does that say about us xD

Who wants to join the seed round of funding? While I'll be the founder, it'll be easy to split the sats earned each day in revenue to the founders, maybe through bolt 12 or something, and i can split revenue of my posts in AITA too!

There are already enough territories unless you come up with a very different one from others.

An [AITA] would be a subset of AskSN. Cuz I wouldn’t subscribe to ~AskSN it’s too broad, but I’d subscribe to a very narrow ~AITA territory to see all of its posts.

And to encourage more of that content!

50 sats \ 1 reply \ @IamSINGLE 23 Oct

So you basically mean to copy another territory.

Why do t you just copy ~Bitcoin then? IMO, that would be the game changer.

I've a suggestion though. Create a territory with the name shitcoins and make fun of them inside it. I see a lot of funny things coming out from that space too.

I'm just not in favour of founding a territory for fun. When @DesertDave launched ~alter_native, my first impression was like 'oh, this is nothing new' but the way he introduced with posts and info for it made me more interested towards it.

What I would love to see that I/we can found a territory which is distinguished and would be intended for long run. I don't have a very concrete idea to launch a territory for now but when I'll have, I aim to do it for a lifetime, maybe starting with a year subscription model to later on convert it into a lifetime.

So, I was saying we must be serious to think about a plan and execution of a territory because it involves real economy/money.

As of now, I don't think any of the territories have made any sort profits but revenue must've increased after the shift in Sybil fee.

Why? There's no need and I've always opposed to create a country or language specific territory.

It was @BitcoinAbhi who wanted one to accomodate Hindi speaking people.

129 sats \ 16 replies \ @Undisciplined 22 Oct

Whether or not ~Bitcoin or ~meta really make money is hard to decipher, because it's kind of a shell game for @k00b. He's the payer and payee of those territory fees, as well as the primary zapper of those posts (I think).

30 sats \ 3 replies \ @realBitcoinDog OP 22 Oct

What are you really saying? There’s no hope for any territory founder to directly make back their 100k in sats thru revenue?

We only make it back as an advertising platform to sell our books, merch, or consulting services beyond the site?

Not saying there aren’t altruistic reasons too!

114 sats \ 2 replies \ @Undisciplined 22 Oct

We've known this was highly unlikely until Stacker News grows significantly. That any territories are breaking even is great, as is others being close.

You can also factor in how much you make back in activity on the territory: i.e. my ~econ posts get zapped, as do @grayruby's sports posts. We need the territories to exist for that.

Most territory owners are doing out of humanitarian reasons though. They want to build a place for bitcoiners to have these communities.

54 sats \ 1 reply \ @realBitcoinDog OP 22 Oct

Right yes you found the territory to find a home for posts you want to make, ultimately!

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Undisciplined 22 Oct

I've given some thought to founding ~undisciplined, but it would have a huge overlap problem like ~alter_native, including an overlap problem with ~alter_natvie.

33 sats \ 11 replies \ @k00b 22 Oct

I hardly zap in ~meta. I generally don't want ~meta stuff on the front page.

~bitcoin on the other hand would be interesting to figure out. I zap ~bitcoin like a mother zaps her first born (assuming it's on topic and some muppet shouldn't have posted in a more relevant and cheaper territory). I guess we'll need spending breakdowns by territories at some point.

I have the feeling if you dedicated the time and effort to just post in your territory, and convinced others to post in your territory, it would become profitable eventually. I dont know the timeline for eventually is. @DesertDave how is everything going since you raised the fees?

20 sats \ 4 replies \ @DesertDave 23 Oct

It's going great. It's not "profitable" yet, but I am looking at it long term. I have noticed a good increase in rewards with the fee change. I think 44 sats is good for now. I want to keep it very accessible.

21 sats \ 3 replies \ @Satosora 23 Oct

Thats good. Have you decided to keep it?

41 sats \ 2 replies \ @DesertDave 23 Oct

Yes. I was always going to keep a territory but I was debating on changing it a bit. I have paid for a year and I am planing to get it paid off for lifetime in the next year. Then I never have to think about profitablity. Just stack sats

Well we don’t want spam of too many territories and it’s a direct source of revenue for SN and it gets the founders to try to get more users.

Would @grayruby have recruited me if he wasn’t the founder of ~Stacker_Sports?

10 sats \ 3 replies \ @User21000000 23 Oct

Yeah I get the spam thing but even at a lower monthly fee until the user base grows then increase. Spam territories will die either way if the support and posts aren’t there?

10 sats \ 4 replies \ @DarthCoin 23 Oct

I think you are getting it wrong: k00b is paying more sats than he made with bitcoin territory or with the entire SN. I don't think k00b made SN with the main goal "to make money". Yes at certain moment must be a balance between spending and earning, otherwise economically is not feasible.

But I really do not think k00b and his founders want this SN to get rich. Bitcoin territory is more to keep something for SN and also as a main revenue to cover the loses. On the other side, he offer to others the opportunity to create their own territories and manage how they want.

I think the following, maintaining a territory month to month is something complicated, at least from my perspective, the pressure of paying month to month, or the pressure of generating something above the quota to pay generates a strong extra pressure. Here I consider that the most viable option is to pay the territory for life, and only focus on recovering the SATS invested in acquiring that territory.

10 sats \ 4 replies \ @Jon_Hodl 23 Oct

If you're thinking long term, the only way it makes sense is the 3 million sats.

The 100k a month is suicide. At the very least, you have to do a full year, generate some revenue, then combine that revenue/zaps that with your own stack before the end of the year to buy the other 2 years.

That's the best way to minimize risk and overhead while still being able to get the territory for life.

10 sats \ 3 replies \ @flat24 23 Oct

Thank you for explaining, I understand that there is only one way and it has to be to make a single payment and just focus on working to recover until you get to the point where you get some profitability! The path to follow is with a long-term view, always!!
