'decentralized' yet needs $15000 PA for server hosting?
2 comments

Agree, wordpress is an apt comparable. Some of the KS tiers are that we're providing hosting for early backers, so we need to provide hosting for early backers.

The intent is to extend an existing standard, RSS, with an http protocol to support it. We need to one of many providers for the system to work as intended.

As decentralized as WordPress. The project is open source.
So why not start out as an open source project, then kickstart the hosting/etc after its been built and tested?

Many open source software projects (some huge ones today) came out of the woodwork with no funding and little community support.
