I’d guess plenty are planning to donate after Jan 1st for tax reasons, so perhaps best to keep highlighting the donation drive through the first week of Jan.
Also I donated $1,000. Lightcone’s works have brought me a lot of direction and personal value over the years, so I’m happy I’m able to lend some support now

Yeah, I’ve been noticing that when talking to donors. It’s a tricky problem because I would like the fundraiser to serve as a forcing function to get people who think LW should obviously be funded, but would like to avoid paying an unfair multiple of their fair share, to go and fund it.
But it seems like half of the donors will really want to donate before the end of this year, and the other half will want to donate after the start of next year.
It’s tricky. My current guess is I might try to add some kind of “pledged funds” section to the thermometer, but it’s not ideal. I’ll think about it in the coming days and weeks.

Thank you!
