Everyone talks about buying Monero, but what is better than buying money with money? With Monero, we have an incredible opportunity to build parallel economies that can empower the individual, and able businesses should create opportunities that allow willing participants to earn Monero, independently of the state.
As big Monero supporters, it is why we introduced the AriaVPN Referral Program and want to invite the community to check out our proposal and consider participating. We seek influencers and website owners who can help us promote our VPN service in exchange for a 30% sales commission. Each time someone buys a VPN plan via your referral link, you’ll receive 30% of the value of the plan, have to option to redeem your balance at any time, and get paid within 24 hours.
Besides offering the opportunity to earn, as a new VPN service provider we hope we can become the community choice for those who regularly use VPN services. Please hit me up if you have any questions or feedback, and thanks for stopping by and checking us out!
In essence, ads serve a brand awareness purpose, but what a giant stretch to call an ad a business model. Although it would be fantastic if the core of the Monero community saw the value & helped, AriaVPN service isn’t specifically aimed at the typical Monero user. Our target market is the new user or crypto-aware/curious user.
As for privacy, there are different levels, and I’m sure not one of ‘you’, i.e. those excessively paranoid. To be in our field of business, there is no way of avoiding revealing our identities, so I can’t even begin to mind using Cloudflare as one of our service providers. On the contrary, they are a top-grade service, and using them doesn’t compromise anyone’s privacy except ours. Those fussy about suspected CF proxy logs can use VPN/Tor when accessing the site. Plus, we are the main third party. If someone posts a listing on Kuno asking for funding to cause harm or injury, I’ll remove it before they can say Cloudflare. These folks can do that shit on the darknet where and if the admins allow for it.
Then, I find the downtime/crackpot drama pathetic. This had been covered and discussed at length and ended up in that crackpot losing his 5 XMR bet and his X account, and anyone who believes we are not a reliable host to Kuno can feel free to grab & run an instance themselves and do a better job.
Lastly, you get no argument from me GT isn’t a great choice. Hence we don’t use it for AriaVPN but as for Kuno, that’s a very different story. Right now, we don’t have the luxury of time and resources to give Kuno the full dedication it may deserve, and as for donations, appreciate the thought, but that’s not my style. The chance that a community donations-based model would cover real expenses we incur beyond mere hosting is nill. So perhaps instead of giving unsolicited advice, tho not overly out of place, you might consider contributing your skills to the common goal? We sure have plans and could use the expert hand.
Bold of you to starting insulting “us” in our forum where “we” are collectively giving you actionable feedback.
The monero community here is small, but we’re very vocal, so obviously you’re here trying to get us to get on board with the service and advocate for it. Which we can be. Insulting us however is going to diminish our zeal in promoting your service over other known good services such as Mullvad.
Though I would suggest you look at privacy guides, getting listed there as a well-respected VPN provider could be a huge boon for you
