The "Stand with Rand" Money Bomb is underway! Tracking thread

I think in 2011/2012 people figured out a way to have it automatically calculate how much more you can donate before you hit the limit. Does anyone remember what it was and know if it still works? It could come in handy if people are getting their totals confused with store purchases.

You don't have to worry about how much before maxing out, just keep donating and the campaign will give you back whatever the difference is if they can no longer accept your donations.
 
I don't have anything before 6PM, but here's what it looks like so far (based on the ticker):

Looking like $650K in a 24-hour period, and probably $750K if you until midnight PST. Not overwhelming, but not bad. Hitting a million would have been more of a success.

They are doing some kind of regular update on the hour, possibly adding in the bitcoin or money from the store. It's a bit easier to see looking at the plot of total donors.

The money is growing at a pretty decent steady pace, but overall this is kind of a weak showing IMO. In the entire country, if 2000 people were to donate $500 then that would already be $1million and as of the time of this post we haven't even broken $650k...

I wonder how negatively the hurried Cruz announcement as well as the whole 'No One But Ron Paul' fixation has hurt Rand's fundraising efforts?

lol. Its a darn good showing. You people set yourself up for disappointment with unrealistic expectations. Most people in this country aren't even paying attention to presidential politics, there hasn't been a debate, etc. The only people paying attention are the hardcore nuts like us.
 
24-hour total (based on 0000-2359 EST) was $640K. Less than expected for announcement day.

Media coverage was extremely favorable as compared to his father. This was as good as could be expected.

Campaign organization, skill, and strength is far beyond what his father had.

Overall, a B grade for announcement day. Money bomb was really the only factor that dragged down the grade.

Oh, you make it sound so easy, like there's 2000 people who just have $500 to just randomly throw towards a presidential campaign that aren't rich bigwigs.
 
When did the ticker actually go up? From looking at this article Rand only had just under $24k by 9am, so I don't think the ticker could have been up for that long before then.

Either way I'd say they are respectable numbers, not as much as I personally was hoping but it's not a disaster by any means. I'm sure he will continue raising decent amounts throughout the week

How is Ted Cruz with no website or gear outraising us (he raised 2 million in 3 days)? I think he may have drank some of our milkshake.
