Yeah, but is everything posting in real time? I know on the Nov. 5th event, I sent my donation in around 10 a.m. and I didn't get a receipt for it in email until late evening of the same day. (I was beginning to worry something had gone wrong!) :)

I hope the campaign's servers have been beefed up in a major way. With everyone dumping donations in at once, there's bound to be a little lag time.

It looks like there has been a major upgrade. Nov 5th, the ticker went linear at a rate of $200K/hr. We were at $10k/min or $600k/hr when this MB launched. :D

I was confused with this on the 5th and I still am... does the 16th start and end according to the eastern time zone. Or is it midnight to midnight in your own time zone. If the latter is the case... there are still 3 regions of the country that haven't even begun donating!!!

I'm fairly sure it starts 12AM eastern, and ends when it turns 12AM eastern the next day.

What was the start $ amount?

Considering this is the middle of the night, most of the money will come in after say 7:00 in the morning. Were on track.
