About 10k a minute so far.-14.4mil in a day at that rate.

[StateofTrance]

No, it was 12 AM in real time. The ticker time only updates after the money gets donated.

I got a screenshot at 12:00AM of $11,552,561.57. Wrote down my figures only last time. This time I have proof :D

No its not! I synced with NIST time servers and refreshed the page 10 seconds before midnight.

The amount is absolutely correct.

No, he is exactly right. 11:59 is the last minute of yesterday. 12:00 would be one minute too late.

Lets make the starting amount: $11,550,000.00

I still say that 11,551,006.57 is the Official starting amount.

I synced my clock with NIST (time-a.nist.gov) and at 10 seconds to midnight I refreshed the page and what I saw was 11,551,156.57. This is confirmed by a screenshot in the thread.

Close enough.

[Cleaner44]

Official times, start and stop are 11:59 screen shots, agreed?

[Paul.Bearer.of.Injustice]

a couple thou won't matter in terms of significant digits for totals in the millions.... just look at the graph and start it where the uptick occurred

[UtahApocalypse]

It does matter what your clock or the NIST time servers (yes, I am not stupid and agree that it was very likely 12 when you took you lil picture) The BIGGER issue is ON THE CAMPAIGN website it still showed 11:59, should that time be used the media can say we tried to catch early donations and our total is wrong.

Forget that. We need everything to be official.

It is supposed to show 11:59.

You cannot take a count at 12:00+ since it is already sunday, besides that the ticker time is 1min behind real time anyway.

Bottom line is that what you want is the amount of money raised BEFORE sunday, which means total at 11:59:59 which is what I tried to capture by syncing with NIST and refreshing about 10 seconds before midnight.

I took my screenshot at exactly 12. I figured that I might as well make it as accurate as possible. BTW, I went by http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=179.

Sorry but unless you refreshed the page at just a handful of seconds before midnight your amount is slightly off, since the ticker only updates once a minute.

[zaffa]

Then why is it that the amounts on mine, stateoftrance's, and jon s' photos all match up. With 3 pictures with the same amount taken at the same time, I think that it's safe to say that the 11,551,006.57 amount is official.

You might want to fact check before you make erroneous claims.

Its safe to say that 11,551,156.57 is the starting amount (btw it matches stateoftrances ss and would have matched mine if I bothered to take one) for I am the only one it seems that REFRESHED just a few seconds before midnight.

This is wrong, the amount is $1405 too high. THINK!!

It suggests people already started donating, because it is already sunday.

That amount is WRONG.

$11,551,156.57 is correct.

I'm recording from the data feed just like ronpaulgraphs does.
This amount was the last figure transmitted on Saturday, sent at 11:59:35 pm campaign time.

I am going by midnight precisely and what was shown on the website.

That's the starting point as far as I am concerned.

How can the starting point you advocate be POSSIBLY correct if the amount I am showing is HIGHER and came from the displayed funds at midnight??? THINK ABOUT THAT before you reply.

If you are correct, it would imply that funds were brought back from the future in a time machine.

LOL

Read my post and you will see, current week donations subtracted from current quarter donations gives us a starting number, and it ain't the one in this thread...
