 My mortgage, special levies, travelling to promote nostr, lawyers, paying an employee, its easily reaching 20-30k per month. Its way more expensive running this than anything Ive ever worked on before, and I’m getting paid 2x less 
 DAMUS AMBASSADORS. 
Have us in different regions. 
 I think what you need is an endowment. How many people now run Damus daily? Do you have access to that information? Is there credible competition in the IOS space? 
 Are there approx 3000 Damus users per month? 
 20-30k per month seems like a lot to me.
1. What percentage do your lawyers cost? Why do you need them?
2. What portion does the client cost? What your relay? If your relay costs a lot, then I’m worried for nostr. If the Damus client costs much, I’m not so worried. 
 Seems like it would be worth the time to continue this conversation? 
 Completely understand, it’s hard running a small and expensive business.
Hopefully a positive path will open up in the coming year 🫂💜 
 30k a month? 👀
