Thank you to everyone who has donated in June. I appreciate your support. Last June, GhostBSD accumulated 1,093 CAD. 573 CAD was from Patreon, and 520 CAD was from donations through PayPal.
By the end of June, the year-to-date total was 6,912.12 CAD. There were 20,087.88 CAD left to accomplish our goal of 27,000 CAD.
Expenses
Infrastructure Costs
Storj: 98.15 CAD — package distribution
So You Start: 152.93 CAD — website server, Paris dedicated servers, and 6 IPs for jails
Server Electricity: 80.00 CAD — home build server power costs
Server Internet: 80.00 CAD — home build server connectivity
Total Expenses: 411.08 CAD
Infrastructure Updates
We currently have about 800 CAD set aside toward purchasing an Ampere ARM server to add ARM build support in the future.
I am also considering distributing the GhostBSD ISO using Storj. While it offers decentralized and reliable distribution, it costs 7 CAD per TB, and depending on how many people download the ISO, it might become expensive.
Notes
Interestingly, Patreon received approximately 200 USD more than usual, but there is no indication of where this additional support came from. Regardless, it is greatly appreciated! This extra amount will not be there in July.
While donations on both Patreon and PayPal can fluctuate, your ongoing support is essential to help us sustain and grow GhostBSD’s infrastructure for the future.
