again NOT asking for money just want to share for visibility, and i'd say ~10% of this isn't FC related it's for blended costs on other projects

@keccers.eth did on my behalf which is very nice of her!! i truly don’t want any donations or sponsorship or etc though cause it severely changes the incentives for me (not saying i wouldn’t be happy if the dev rewards changed sorting tho)

do you have a sense of why the Solana fees were so high? that seems crazy. is that always the case?

Kasra Rahjerdi avatar
from what i understand the initial program deployment cost (~1.5 SOL) is standard for anything that stores even a tiny bit of data, the thing i didn’t account for was the tx fees that i had to eat for anonymity’s sake, every new “PDA creation” (i barely know what that means) cost me 38c

Jesse Pollak avatar
it cost 1.5 SOL to deploy a program (contract?)? that seems way too high! @0xmert do you know what's going on here?

Kasra Rahjerdi avatar
here's the program (contract) code: github.com/jc4p/mutual-... It cost 1.42809184 SOL exactly to deploy

what’s nuts is if i didn’t have o3 for writing PRDs the vibe coding cost would be double

is o3 that much better in pro? Premium o3 seems pretty damn good

Kasra Rahjerdi avatar
i’m a freak so for PRDs i ask o3 gemini 2.5 pro (and now claude 4) the same questions then have o3 consolidate into best of each

idk! that’s mostly a one time thing so idk if it’s worth it, but to be clear there’s other services that i’m getting comp’d (my GPU stuff is free bc an old coworker runs the cloud hosting i use)

Should learn from @degenfans, everything on a usd 5 vps 😂 I'm not exceeding 60 I think, not paying for vibe, neynar 10 vercel 20 vps 20 and some credits here and there, alchemy, upstash, Venice for agents

Kasra Rahjerdi avatar
not to be rude but if someone’s stuff fits in a $5 vps they’re not playing the same game as me, i often need GPUs, servers with >24 cores, etc

no I agree totally different games, impossible to compare I wanted to move away from vercel but that's easier said than done 😂

do you use gemini pro max on cursor?

Kasra Rahjerdi avatar
cursor costs breakdown here:
this is just cursor, not counting claude code directly (i usually do 2-3 multiple sessions of claude code at a time, cursor for touch ups)

Could you help me with the docs to set up the Snapchain node?
1
Kasra Rahjerdi avatar
yeah absolutely! what provider are you trying to use, AWS?
1
megabyte avatar
Yeah thats the plan. But I can’t find the docs related to snapchain setup 🥲
1
Kasra Rahjerdi avatar
here’s the ones i used! snapchain-docs.vercel.app/guides/runni... — do you already have AWS experience? if you do it’s spin up an instance, connect, run the docker commands at the bottom of the page
Run Snapchain on AWS
snapchain-docs.vercel.app

What did you vibe code? And have you tried Windsurf?
1
Kasra Rahjerdi avatar
i’ve created or updated code for 25 repos for fc projects this month, i have 35 mini apps and do data analysis, github here: github.com/jc4p?tab=rep... i tried windsurf a while ago but it didn’t have proper windows subsystem for linux support at the time and i haven’t tried it again yet

Still doesn't have wsl2 connectivity, only ssh and container unfortunately.
