Ok I think there needs to be a lot of talk on this idea which is to launch an hour-long server test/money bomb during November 30th. The point here is to try and get absolutely as many people involved as possible. The aim is to make $1 million at least in one hour by getting 40,000 donors to give an average of $25 each. Right now with fundraising likely to reach $9.5 million before November 30th or possibly even make it to $9.6 million and then estimating around $750,000 for November 30th along with offline donations of about $200,000 it's most likely that the only amount that could be reached is about $10.55 million.

However, if 40,000 donors can drop just $25 it will bring that up to $11.55 million. If, even further, all previous donors or most could donate it could mean $2.67 million and around $13.17 million before December, which at our current pace could mean $15.5 million before December 16th and with a huge showing there could end up beating the record for most money raised in a quarter by getting over $32.5 million by the end of December.

If this is going to happen though it needs broad coordination now with all meetups and grassroots to find a perfect time to launch this hour-long money bomb.

Dammit, forgot to put up a poll, but here are the times I think work best:

Noon to 1P.M. EST

1P.M. to 2P.M. EST

6P.M. to 7P.M. EST

7P.M. to 8P.M. EST

8P.M. to 9P.M. EST

9P.M. to 10P.M. EST

I am in at 12:00 Eastern, 9 a.m. Pacific. I will only be in for $10 as I am of the "TeaParty or Bust" faction :)
