donations 💸

donations are completely optional, but if any of you would like to see more things hosted by me, with a more powerful server, with more uhmm STUFF, then please do consider donating! *every single cent* will be kept for use *only* to improve tbz and its associated services. right now, keeping this site up costs me around 515~ euro a year, and this is totally okay with me!! but to host things like a simplex XFTP server i'd need to upgrade my server config a lot, pushing the yearly cost upwards of 665~ euro, which places it just a bit too far out of reach for me.

as well as this, i really dunno how much you guys are going to want to use my website, but if it turns out a lot of you like me and end up using the things i host a lot, i'll need to buy some proxies to avoid bot detection by big tech sites like google. from what i've researched, there aren't many good value proxy sellers that accept crypto payments, so my butt is gonna get rammed if i end up needing them to keep my services up. maybe i'll make my own proxy servers? could be fun. probably expensive too. heck.

i currently, and i think for eternity, will only accept XMR / Monero, but if you have some bitcoins or etherums you want to throw at me, you can use a site like Trocador to easily send your doges to me, and have it magically come out as moneros on my end. pretty neat! (works with fiat/cash too i think!?)

under this line i've added a donation percent THING. it's not dynamic, i'll come and update this every week or so~, but it should give you guys an idea of if tbz is currently sustainable or not. you know, it's actually kind of scary to accept donations, because when i increase my server specs, it makes me totally dependent on them, but it's also so so cool, like, me?! with a big ass server!??! handling so much data that *i* get to obfuscate and make unreadable to mossad!?!?!? THAT'S SO COOL. i'll do you guys proud!! i love you all. *sniff*
