Have you done any kind of analysis on how much someone would need to use a model to make your service more valuable? I think this would bolster your point.

Also, you reference $5 a month a lot but considering all the services I’ve seen are $20 which is a whole different ball game and level of vampiric drain.

One thing I wish was better explained on your website is, I clear my cookies I lose my wallet. Is there a way to backup or do you recommend an only keeping minimal amounts? What if you shut down unexpectedly, what happens to the XNO I have on the site?

It's hard to give an exact number, it's relatively safe to say that if people do <500 queries per month Nano-GPT is cheaper than having a single subscription. If people like the option of access to for example both GPT-4-Turbo and Claude 3 Opus it might be anything under 1000 queries per month (since you save on two subscriptions).

We generally recommend keeping only minimal accounts and sending anything left in your wallet on the website back to your Nano wallet. That said we're aware this is not practical for everyone and are considering an account system. Is that something you'd prefer?

If the site shuts down we'd send the Nano balances back to the origin address where possible, but that's relying on our good faith. Safest option would definitely be not to put too much in! That said, Nano is feeless and we offer free withdrawals anytime, hence why we recommend just doing small sums.

One more question if you don't mind - do you remember where you saw this on HN? I did a quick search but couldn't find it.
