What are the real costs of running this operation? $200k seems like a lot.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it a project behind @arcange? I support and supported several of his proposals and will do, but summing things up it seems like you're running a Microsoft. A Microsoft-like operation would require more funds than essential for Hive the Keychain and HiveSQL projects combined.

Sorry, but I find it costs about $200-300 a month to maintain and keep the service updated to current blockchain state. The rest should be your business model. The World Cup event got you over $500 income. I don't envy you, but I show you the way you could easily get the costs covered. @hivebuzz would need to reimburse a graphic designer? No problem do a post or two.
