Crowdfunding costs
Since 2022, all the costs have been covered by personal funds and/or friends/supporters donations.
We try to avoid to crowdfund publicly because there is no reason to divest funds that could Help Ukraine but a few times a year we do raise funds to keep this project alive.
If you really want to contribute, Donate to
Verified Charities
My Personal recommendation goes to ComeBackAlive and Prytula Foundation.

The Project started on the 24th of February 2022 and have been operating ever since at the rate of an estimation of 10h/day, every day for 7 month straight, until a burnout led me to take a pause.
Depending on the daily hours given to move the project forward, this is more than 1200h of work from February to September 2022, from a conservative estimation.
In 2023 I’m trying to adapt for a marathon and finding balance to make the project sustainable and finding volunteers to bring this project to its Version 2 while keeping the current iteration afloat and operational, the amount of work range from a few minutes every day to a few hours.
In 2024 I’m spending a few hours per week to maintain the archive, fix issues with automation, verify the integrity of the system and do general maintenance work.
By sponsoring a membership Tier, you directly participate into securing the stability of the archive and if we can get enough sponsors, we can grow the number of Telegram channels we archive and the Video Storage capacity we have to archive Telegram videos.
