Look, based on the previous pledge information there were 49 people willing to donate $5000 each for a total of 245,000. The project is going to be made or broken on the backs of these 49 donations - whether they are real and whether they accept the changes being made to the project.
I donated my $100 pledge already. I think this is legit and I am willing to take my chances, but in the end the ~500 $100 pledges ($50,000) are not going to matter. If they get past $200,000 everyone will pile on after that. Even 100,000 might be enough to start the avalanche.
So, a lot of the discussion on this board is meaningless and the energy should probably be directed elsewhere.
