Hello everyone,

This proposal is to cover costs for our servers (details below) for the period in title!

We have in total 5 servers right now but they are different in spec. You find the details below!

Server Specs:
- 3x Shared CPU - 8 GB - 160 GB - $48
- 2x dedicated CPU - 8 GB - 160 GB $72
- Backup cost $10 for 4 server!

Costs:
All prices are in USD and there is also a 25% tax on top of above price.

So basically monthly cost will be
3 x $48 = $144 (shared servers)
2 x $72 = $144 (dedicated servers)
4 x $10 = $40 (backups)
---------------------------------------
Total: $328 without tax and $410 including tax!
Total for all servers: 12 month x 410 =4920$
Total for all servers: 13 month x 410 =5330$ (read below)

The current price for PIVX is ~0.012 -> works out to ~444.166 PIV for the requested period. I will be adding some buffer (roughly 20% -->533.000) as i see a big risk we go further down.
So the total request i ask for is 533.000 piv this cycle + i also add for Dec 2026. I have actually been paying from pocket for some months now due to our price crash! I did mention this in prev request and have really tried to pay from pocket for some months now but now i can't anymore.

Reporting:
I will not be reporting out any further details.

Subject to change:
If price goes way down, i will have to adjust the months the PIV can cover as before. I have some buffer so i hope this will hold.

Note (risk):
I also like to raise a concern regarding swapping to stable coin and ability to pay to data-center. This is getting even harder now Maybe things get better in a year, maybe it gets worse. In the latter case we have to see how this can be handled!
There is also another hurdle on my side which is CEX:es going full retard removing PIVX like the latest with binance. So making the swap from pivx to stable coin is not as simple as before. Even sites liks trocador.app dont offer many options and price is not very favorable (today only 2 offer a swap even)!
I can't guarantee that swap will get stuck in KYC and i will have to risk not having some of the swap covered! Will try small batches for each payment but there is always the risk! in any case i will adjust the months if that happens.
