A little note about about this financial status report
- Throne
- it is fiat type and I will only add money here when I withdraw it.
- Cryptocurrencies
- I will truncate numbers to 4 decimal places.
- It may not always be up to date. You can check up to date ETH balance by clicking to it.
- No matter which coin you send from Trocador, the money will merge into Monero.
I donβt know how saying what platform is used to host the server will affect its security that much.
For example, the fact you are using cloudflare is public and doesn't really harm you.
Yeah it doesn't but its a shield in front of host itself. We're not doing anything illegal here but still.
I mean, it would be trivial to find for anyone who cares to run a ping and do a Google search for the IP it resolves. You're definitely not shielding yourself from any government agencies by keeping it secret.
The reason they won't reveal is because Pornography is flat out banned in Ukraine, if we revealed this someone might report us and get the host taken away again, similar to what happened when the server used Hetzner.
Yes. No matter how bulletproof the server provider says it is, I will move it to the Netherlands. The current provider's prices are very good, but they cannot offer a cheaper alternative. We're going to switch to a cheaper alternative as Patreon shut us down.
