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.

I voted 9:00 - 10:00 PM EST because that is when most of the West Coast folks will be home. I think that is the best time to raise $1 million in an hour on a Friday. Still, if the goal is to reach $12 million by midnight, it's best to get the ball rolling early. I'm not convinced that there is enough support for this idea to achieve $1 million in an hour. Keep this idea rolling for the 16th!

Well, 7 to 8 P.M. was the winner. That time has already been sent around to meetups and such.
