/land/ - Meta

> 1) thoughts on making the view-key for the donation address public?
Didnt thought about this one. Thats a good idea, could also add a tracker on the donation page.
> 2) thoughts on having some sort of poll system for the site?
I think that would be easy to implement, just adding an option to also include a poll, like with files. The only potential problem would be people switching IPs and fucking up the votes lmao
>just like my presidential elections!!1!
> 3) WE NEED MORE BOARDS
I could add more in the future, the only reason for having only four right now is to avoid a dead board situation
>just like my monerochan board!1!!!
Jk that board stays forever.
But I would love to add a /tech/ board eventually.
> 4) WE NEED MORE MONEROBROS!!!!
True. I suspect theres going to be an influx of users once donations are added.
> 5) does THE LAND have a designated monero node?
Nope. I thought about it but I cant tell how it would affect the usability of the site. Not to mention that the VPS is only 20GBs. Getting more storage wouldnt be that big of a problem, but I cant tell how much CPU power a node and the site would need combined. But having an official trusted node for moneroland users would be pretty dope.
> also for mr admin: idk if the server auto-compresses image when uploaded
Im pretty sure it does not! (https://monero.land/b.php)
> also what are the sites server specs? and monthly/ yearly operating costs?
1GB of DDR4 ram, 20GB NVME storage, Ryzen 9 3900X (1 core). Its pretty minimal but it does great for the moment. Might have to upgrade if the land population gets bigger. I pay $3.50 a month for the hosting because the VPS provider is based as fuck (they also accept monero).

based, a tracker would be so fucking cool. A way for monerobros to see what their donations go towards.
~0.03 XMR to pay for server cost each month
~0.06 XMR to pay the monero.land domain for a year (or however much it costs)
etc
also assuming you make the view key public; maybe you could add a small ledger on the donation page with details on each transaction, like:
{DATE OF TRANSACTION} - Admin sent {X} XMR to {VPS, Personal Wallet, weed dealer, etc}
Example:
01/01/2025 - Admin sent 12 XMR from donation wallet to Monero Developer Fund

wait for USA election, rig the votes by changing your IP, make the climate activist party win, watch as the country collapses (we did too much trolling)

> I would love to add a /tech/ board eventually.
based. and yeah dead boards suck, best to keep it simple right now until THE LAND expands!

> but I cant tell how much CPU power a node and the site would need combined.
`monerod` is actually quite lightweight. Im running my node on debian 12, with an Intel N100 CPU and monerod uses about 8% of the CPU while connected to ~45 peers. the blockchain is 219 GB un-prunned though, which would be about ~80 GB prunned. would be cool for a monero.land node but probably something to hold out for now imo

> Im pretty sure it does not!
fucking BASED

> I pay $3.50 a month for the hosting
not bad for those specs! monerod recommends a dual core CPU and 4 GB of RAM, so prob shouldnt run a node yet.

DROP THE LINK!!!!!

Winston here from Iowa. I'm always watching to see what newer sites are going up and I just wanted to see if you would like an extra hand with getting some targeted traffic, Create custom AI bots to answer questions from visitors on your site or walk them through a sales process/funnel - I could even make a persona of yourself or employee to field questions about your business. I create/edit videos/images/adcopy, create/revamp/update sites, remove negative listings, the list goes on. I'll even shoulder 90% of the costs, dedicating my time and tools that I've created myself and bought over the years. I've been doing this for over 22 years, helped thousands of people and have loved every minute of it.

There's virtually no cost on my end to do any of this for you except for my time starting at 99 a month. I don't mean to impose; I was just curious if I could lend a hand.

Brief history, I've been working from home for a couple decades now and I love helping others. I'm married, have three girls and if I can provide for them by helping you and giving back by using the tools and knowledge I've built and learned over the years, I can't think of a better win-win.

It amazes me that no one else is helping others quite like I do and I'd love to show you how I can help out. So, if you need any extra help in any way, please let me know either way as I value your time and don't want to pester you.

PS – If I didn’t mention something you might need help with just ask, I only mentioned a handful of things to keep this brief :-)


All the best,

Winston
