Indeed, that's precisely why I decided to ditch out of the subscription model and went into one time payment method, did the math and it made sense that I don't need a very heavy system apart from supporting the dead man switch trigger
Wrote my thoughts about that here: https://eternalvault.app/blog/why-we-are-adding-lifetime-pri...
And it feels good to know that there are people out thinking about this, makes me happy truly and if you want to try out the platform, welcome aboard, happy to walk through it if needed. :)
That’s great, and exactly what I was thinking. In fact, you have to wrestle with the fact that if it’s too cheap, people won’t trust it.
One thing I had been thinking about was that it’s important to be extremely open about the algorithms and infrastructure required, with a very transparent whitepaper on how it works (enthusiast level discussion of the technical details) and how you have designed the company to be extremely sustainable. I think your job is to convince people of two things: 1) this actually respects my privacy in a way I can verify myself (or lean on the technical expertise of other outside observers), 2) this company actually has a chance of surviving until I die.
If I can see those two things are true, a $199 lifetime purchase is a no-brainer.
