So right now, I'm paying out of my pocket to support the project. It's not really an issue, I make good money at my day job and am more than happy to give back to the mining community in any way that I can. I also built the entire platform using serverless architecture that scales based on the # of users, so it's pretty cheap to manage at this point in the project with a smaller user-base.

Once I've finished beta testing and built out the payment processor for the platform, however, I plan to implement a monthly subscription fee for users to link their pools. I'm still working out the details, trying to figure out decent price points for each of the four service tiers, but it won't be that expensive. I'm also maybe considering launching a PoW utility token that leverages + demonstrates each of the features that Foundation has to offer (multi-algo + merged-mining), and offers benefits and functionality tied to the platform itself.
