Donations Must start early and often on OCT 19th for success

[mstrmac1]

At 12:01 I will be donating $1000 to max out... For this one to be successful we must start it off early. Get sleep the night before, because we need to own the internet ALL night.. going into the next day. When people wake up the next day they need to see this thing is VIRAL!! Making them want to get involved. Donate Early!!

[pauliticalfan]

Yes, getting this thing exploding early is key. Will motivate more people to donate.

[badger4RP]

A couple mil by morning news would do wonders. im donating early so that by the night of the 19th i will feel up to donating again.

[afwjam]

Early bird gets the worm!

[truthsaga]

I am going to donate first thing in the morning and capture the screen shot of my name and then forward the email to my buddies and people I know that are on the fence just to remind them how important everyone's involvement is.

[mport1]

Yes, everybody needs to donate as early as possible. I you are up after midnight donate immediately or donate first thing in the morning. There is absolutely no reason to wait and it could only hurt total donation amounts.

[neverseen]

Okay, i'll drop some donations in the morning but i'll probably figure out a way to do more after work :P

[thehighwaymanq]

This is very important. The earlier the better. If we can get most donations on here within the first hour, the early morning rush will motivate people to give more.

12:01 am .. BOMBS AWAY!!!!!!!

[linusPAULing]

Yep, I absolutely agree, donating early clearly generates momentum.

There was amazing excitement on 11-05-07 when people saw the donation plot go parabolic in the morning. A HUGE number of folks actually donated twice when they realized how much enthusiasm there was for the money bomb!

With this in mind, we need to have at least one well advertised site that will plot the donations.

[XTreat]

Yeah I'll be giving 300-400 at 12:01 as well

[linusPAULing]

Hopefully the servers will hold up after midnight!

[Karsten]

How about everybody here donates at 12:01 am eastern time, regardless of what time zone they are in. that way it will get a HUGE start!

Yes, who can program this?

What do you mean?

[FSP-Rebel]

I think it is wise to follow the OP on this. Get the forum (and hopefully dailypaul) money right outta the gate and it should offer a visual boost to those on the wake-up crew.
And those of us who will donate again can bring up the rear column. I'm sure the campaign will send out at least an email to galvanize the rank and file to give it up over the rest of the day.

[linusPAULing]

What do you mean?

During nearly the entire '07 campaign the site http://ronpaulgraphs.com/ plotted donations in real time and during the money bombs this was one of the most popular RP sites. On 11-05-07 RonPaulGraphs had bandwidth problems and asked that folks check in no more than once every ten minutes as I recall.

There is at least one RP2012 site that is plotting donations in real time .

I think BlackThisOut should email links to any and all sites that plot donations in real time so folks can monitor the graphs.

How do you capture the screen shot? I know generally how to capture the screen, but every time I've donated I've never seen my name on the ticker (I'm not ticked! lol) How long does it take for it to appear?

Ok.. I remember now. You should PM Dunsman.. He controls the site.

[VoluntaryAmerican]

Convinced me. I'll be donating at 12:01.

[Oddone]

I always donate at 12:01AM EST - So I'll be there as always.

[J_White]

Just Dont jump the gun, lol.
i heard last some posted somewhere that he donated before 12:00 am, and so it didnt count towards the MB. :-)

[Thomas]

great point

[mstrmac1]

Right.. I'm sure someone will throw up the infamous "HOLD" thread to keep us from doing that!

Lets make it 12:05am then!

[justatrey]

Yep. $300 at 12:01 for me. I've had this avatar since 2007 and have been waiting for this for a long time!

[misslauriss]

I'll be donating at midnight :)

[JoshS]

midnight it is

[qwerty]

YEP AND WE NEED TO BE EVERYWHERE WHOLE DAY OCT 19th! I TOOK A DAY OFF FROM WORK!

[Becker]

I think there should be a schedule set (is there one already?)

Either by time zone or by amount.

This minimizes the server's burden, and keeps the excitement steady.

If it were up to me, I'd definitely put the large amounts early in the day, so that the news sees the maximum in the shorter time frame.

you rock! :D

[TER]

[Sentinelrv]

Go to Dusman's thread and commit to promoting this money bomb 1 hour a day until the 19th. We need your help...

[jeremiahj13]

Agreed, i used to always say to myself "if it looks like the money bomb is doing well, I think I'll add a little bit to my donation." So I plan on donating about 50-80% of my donation amount in the early time period :)

Make sure the campaign has a ticker up before you donate though, don't want the money to go unseen on the ticker :) It may be 12:00 AM Eastern Time he puts it up, or it may be 2-3 AM before they do!!

[centure7]

I will make my donation at either 12:01 or first thing in the morning. You are absolutely right this thing needs to be news-worthy by the time people wake up.

[Texan4Life]

+1 i wanna see a donation hockey stick graph again!

Screw a hockey stick, I want to see a pole vault

[lucky_bg]

Hopefully, we will pull off "BlackThisOut protest/promotion at FOX/CNN/MSNBC HQ in NY, 15th-19th october, from noon to 6pm daily" initiative from this thread:

http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?321514-Occupy-MSM-FOX-CNN-MSNBC

If so, then at 19th, there would be whole day promotion/protest in front of one of the MSM headquarters (let's say FOX headquarters) that will last till midnight, with big screen showing RonPaul2012 front page with counter and ticker with donations.

As with Ready, Ames, Fire moneybomb, we can also have some kind of RadioThon or live feed from there with guests, and live reports on all events related to BTO moneybomb around the country.

Any confirmation from the official campaign that this will be up?
