Very informally (and now I've totally hijacked this thread), we're talking somewhere around $105 a month to cover our hosting costs and get a real-time text chat server rolling. When/if we decide to start taking donations, I'll be laying all of this out in the announcement post.
EDIT: Since some are probably wondering what our exact hosting costs are each month, it's about $60, give or take a few bucks, for a t2.medium Linux, Route53, t2.small MySQL RDS (non-redundant), and transit charges.

As for one-time rewards, I do have some stuff in mind for that, too, and I'm also willing to let people "pre-pay" as opposed to "subscribing."
