I don't see the above idea working out that well. Because if [E2] starts selling [C!]'s for $100 other people will just start selling their [C!]'s for $10. I have a simpler and more elegant solution.

Add a new [symbol] to [The Power Structure of Everything 2]. That symbol will be for people who have donated money via [Paypal]. I would suggest a minimum $10.00 donation to get a symbol next to your name. That way people can feel good about donating, and get some recognition. Without screwing up the [balance of power].

I am sure that most regular [noders] would contribute to get the [symbol] next to their name.

Although looking at the [Donation Box], it appears that E2 might be bringing in enough to be self sufficient anyway. That is assuming that the server is already paid for, (it isn't exactly a multi-million dollar box ya know). E2 averaged $686.22 per month in donations over the last 90 days. That should cover most of the [bandwidth]. Last time I checked no one was paying the [editors] or the [edev] members. So E2 really isn't in that bad of shape.
