Yes. Our total expenses are low enough at the moment where I can fund it out of pocket for a while, but after that runs out, that's it. We really hope to do this through user donations. We try our best to streamline costs to keep them as low as possible, and we're doing pretty good at $45/mo (and we just upgraded our RAM so we should be good for a while), although we're looking at potentially adding another $25/mo so we can have a proper dev environment and mirror of saidit code because we mostly do live testing right now on the site and that kind of limits the scope of the coding experiments we can try. But we might figure out a way to do it for free. Maybe. We are trying our best.

We are also looking in to building a cryptocurrency for saidit, that would be used for tipping (but not voting) and people could mine it in-browser in a tab if they choose, and earn some for both themselves and for saidit as a whole, as well as earning it when tipped. Then if this cryptocurrency takes on a real tradeable value, this could help pay for some of the operating expenses. But that project is probably a year away from being finished, at least.

So between all that we have 3 layers of protection.
