For the effort put into this you probably could have gotten your 150k users

which isn't alot really... if you had 2000 users :)

But you had 100+ users, so the idea was validated.

How did you get those 500 users?

agumonkey | karma 29727 | avg karma 1.44 · | 2017-06-26 06:44:00+00:00

Maybe we were a million users ?

grandalf | karma 11860 | avg karma 2.47 · | 2010-09-27 19:21:04

True. But getting to the first 85K users is quite an accomplishment too.

Could have just as easily taken 90 million from users tho

Haha. I wish! That would be awesome, but getting to 100M users is probably 10% planning/process and 90% luck.

Up to 100 users was a thing

manelvf | karma 8 | avg karma 2.0 · | 2012-06-18 20:13:30+00:00

How many users did you have?

rsj_hn | karma 9643 | avg karma 3.21 · | 2017-08-10 06:34:05+00:00

And if you have 2000 users..

e0m | karma 2828 | avg karma 15.98 · | 2015-09-16 14:18:24

What I want to hear more about is how they got those users in the first place. Supporting 900M users might be easier then acquiring 900M users.

altdataseller | karma 1954 | avg karma 1.86 · | 2021-07-01 19:33:48+00:00

Nice, you have close to 250 users :)

cookiecaper | karma 15526 | avg karma 2.53 · | 2011-03-23 19:53:52+00:00

Personally 160 users sounds like a lot to me. None of the unfunded services I've bootstrapped had reached that.

stOneskull | karma 370 | avg karma 0.67 · | 2019-05-30 04:36:04

Gotta help get the user base bigger

stealther | karma -1 | avg karma -0.5 · | 2008-02-11 22:47:50+00:00

5000 users?

xorcist | karma 7453 | avg karma 2.12 · | 2018-01-03 16:31:10+00:00

The claim of having millions of users is a valuable one.

AznHisoka | karma 7533 | avg karma 1.92 · | 2012-03-16 22:39:20+00:00

Here's a way: get a ton of users.

rms | karma 22600 | avg karma 3.32 · | 2010-02-07 11:20:33+00:00

If it had enough users, probably.

lambdaops | karma 25 | avg karma 0.93 · | 2014-11-05 22:52:46+00:00

Yeah, we'll do our best to scale this out a bit more. We prepped for 512 concurrent users, got plenty more.
