The anticipated revenue (by Jasons calculation) is $37k. With less than half the budget allocated to operational expenses, I expect building a reserve to buy equipment. That's my point on the hardware side. It seems that your concern is that the proposed fees are too high for many members / or that the fees are disproportionate to the value. I'm not sure which. I'm in favor of a fee structure, not opposed. My points here and in my response to Jason, are to make the members aware that there are real costs associated with running the exchange, and the fees proposed cover more than the obvious things, like ports.
