If one of the larger adult oriented file-sharing sites tries to avoid animated gifs and instead use mediacru.sh, would you prefer if they were running a self hosted instance or would they be welcome to use your hosted service?

You welcome donations, considering the use-case described above and your public service being used, what would you consider a reasonable amount to donate?

A self-hosted instance is a good thing for people who use a lot of our resources. Alternatively, donations are nice - it costs us about $50 per 100,000 hits on our CDN.

Thank you for your reply. I am a big fan of mediacursh.

Currently mediacrush is being developed actively and it would require a lot of attention to self-host in a production environment for someone not taking part in the development process.

If you could spare a few minutes to answer some more detailed questions on donations, please drop me an email at cmq@cmail.nu

Tried to shoot you an email, but it bounced. I can be reached at <sir@cmpwn.com>.

There is a mailing list intended for people who want to self-host, for what it's worth. I do agree that things move too fast to keep up sometimes.

I'll shoot you an email.
