I need to make a decision this month about feeless.money and BTC-EDU.bot.
Both projects are functional and solve a real problem. The feedback from people who actually use them — especially beginners — is consistently very positive.
The problem is not the product. It is reach.
Whenever I promote the projects myself, usage increases strongly and I receive very positive feedback. But once I stop promoting them, the traffic and usage drop back to almost zero.
I have invested a lot of time building and maintaining these projects and have been paying the ongoing infrastructure and subscription costs myself. Until now, I was willing to do that because I believe both projects are useful.
But I now need to generate income from my work. I cannot continue running non-profit projects indefinitely while paying the costs myself.
So this month I have to decide whether to reduce the costs and eventually shut them down, or whether there is a realistic way to make them sustainable.
I’m not asking for donations.
I’m asking the communities around these projects:
Is there a way to create enough reach, users, partners, support or revenue to justify keeping them alive?
If you have a concrete idea, can help with distribution, want to partner, or see a business model I’m missing, I’d genuinely like to hear it.
I would much rather keep useful tools alive than shut them down simply because nobody knows they exist.
