Re: "Business Case" Discussion

What about pushing donations on the "free" option - say, a one-time $5 "donation" to download the files necessary to revive the Dash? Then you could also offer the $3/month subscription for the full experience.

I'd also support a small ad on the free option to push the subscription.

Another thing to keep in mind - it's $3USD. That's like $5CDN. wink

And we're prying it open.

The chumdash has the hidden "pi" screen, with the 'turn on SSHD" button, for instance (the wiki has been updated to reflect that).

Wait, this thing has a Solid State Hybrid Drive?!! Awesome!

Just kidding - I know it's really the SSH Daemon. smile

OMG! The amount seems so much bigger in "Dong"!

Re: "Business Case" Discussion

I appreciate all the effort and definitely plan on subscribing. $36 a year is a fair price.  I am thrilled to be able to bring my dash back to life. I have a few products that were abandoned by various companies and turned into doorstops- wish this existed for some of them! I applaud the work going into this!
