On Oasis, we have 2132 monthly active users and 284 paying users accounting for $2376 in monthly revenue -- although some of these users are still paying from credit they received by supporting our Indiegogo campaign, so the physical revenue number is lower (and isn't on my dashboard for some reason).
Our hosting costs from Google Cloud are confusing because currently we have some startup credit (which will expire in about six months), and the way they account for that in invoices is weird... But if I'm reading right, we spent $1552 in January, before applying the credit. We also pay for $35 for Cloudflare, $35 for G Suite, $25 for Github, $80 for Sendgrid, $50 for Mailchimp, $50 for eShares, and probably some things I'm forgetting at the moment. So, around $2000 monthly. We also pay an undisclosed but surprisingly small amount for Sandcats.io TLS certificates which we pass on free to users.
To support any full-time developers we'd need Oasis paying users to increase by at least 10x, so something like 2500. Yesterday was a very big news day for us, which resulted in 6 new signups.
- e12e 10y agoThank you so much for taking the time, and writing such a candid reply. Also: > Yesterday was a very big news day for us, which resulted in 6 new signups. Ouch. (otoh, a steady 2% daily growth is nothing to sneeze at - you'll be at 10x in 116 days!) In all seriousness; best of luck. I think there should still be a bright future for sandstorm - a few more rounds of polish, a bit of luck and pr and sustainable growth should be very much in reach.
