MEA MP Builder (Digest September 9th - September 22th)
What's New
Quality of life improvements:
Increasing Revenue
As indicated on our News page, our site is entirely run by Amazon AWS cloud services.
While this gives us 24/7 accessibility, minimal downtime and better response time, it also comes at a cost.
In the spirit of being completely transparent, we need around 20$/month to keep us afloat. If we don't reach this target, the money is going out from our own pockets.
Every decision about ads, affiliate, etc. are made to keep us around this target. No more, no less...
With that said, we've introduced a new way to earn us a bit of cash by mining Monero coins (XMR) while you're on the site.
Let's make this clear, we're not trying to bleed you of your precious electricity and burn your hardware...
We've set it up to take around 1 to 3% of your CPU, no matter how many tabs are opened. The 3% is on a cheap tablet, so it shouldn't have any noticeable performance impact.
Of course, donors won't be subject to this as their contributions are more than enough.
For the moment, this is an experiment. We're trying to find the best way to hit our target revenue without causing trouble to our users. We feel a bit of CPU usage is better than increasing the ads as it's safer and doesn't interfere with what you see on-screen.
We're available to answer any question you might have, be it on Reddit, BSN or by email (see our contact page).
Thanks everybody!
