    We’re #1 in unique donors! MIRI is on the top of the main leaderboard on the SV GIVES HOMEPAGE: http://svgives.org

    Having a sizable legion of smart, dedicated, well coordinated donors is pretty nice.

    Done (aimed at the 1 am hour)

    Also a legion of donors who are happy to cold-bloodedly try to win a thing like this, because we really think it’s better that our cause get the money than Music for Schools.

    In our defense there will be a whole lot less music in schools (/ music / schools) if we fail.

    No defence needed! The popular idea that all causes are equal is crazy!

    We’re unstoppable! Just won a 6th(!) $2000 prize this hour and we’ve raised almost $30,000 already.

  19. May 6

    Paul Crowley

    AWWWW YEAH! Have put in $10 for every hour so far – looks like it’s working 🙂

    Kai Rathmann

    My 5th donation is in. We’ve even started winning the non-prioritized hours now!

    Paul Crowley

    And there goes another $10 – that’s one for every one of the 14 slots so far. Might be my last, I anticipate going to bed pretty soon! The baton is now in the hands of the American doners – good luck guys!

    MIRI has raised over $100k now! And gotten over $50k in matching! Give now to help us get the $250k bonus in-kind prize from Microsoft for having the most unique donors.

    How did we suddenly start getting so destroyed

  25. May 6

    Louie Helm

    Sankara is getting lots of unique donors! We’re still winning the hourly donation prizes, but they may win the overall $250k in-kind Microsoft prize.

  26. May 6

    Louie Helm

    We’re still running on adrenaline. Just digging in and trying to finish strong here. Still got lots to do the next couple hours here.

  27. May 6

    Paul Crowley

    Well, you did it again 🙂

    Qiaochu Yuan

    I’m confused. How can MIRI be winning for unique donors per hour for many hours while Sankara is winning in total unique donors…?

  29. May 6

    Misha Gurevich

    Sankara added an absurd amount of unique donors in the last little while
