Okay, folks. This is some pretty quick and dirty coding, but I believe it should do the trick and get me to bed on time. This page will show you the current progress of the crowdfunding campaign in nice, clean numbers, and will update on its own every 30 minutes (even if you just leave the window open). The chart isn't much to speak of at the moment, but each time the tracker updates another point will be added onto it, so you'll see the dollars build over time.

Enjoy: http://eliocrowdfunding.meteor.com/

Note: If it doesn't update for some reason or the graph goes crazy, I'll see if I have time to fix it tomorrow.
<expletive> you are amazing! Great job.

Nicely done. Suggest revising y axis reference since no funds have been raised. Possibly "A+ investment interest"?

Also, to aid the uninitiated, what the reddit website provides.

Paul Elio is scheduled to do an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Reddit this Thursday. AMAs are done only by notable people whom the audience may have an interest in interacting with, and it's a big audience indeed. Reddit is #10 for traffic on the internet--it's about as big as it gets. For a few hours the audience can ask any question they like, and the person responds. Usually there are hundreds or thousands of questions.

The AMA will take place at 1:30PM EST Thursday, July 2 at http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/. I expect the impact on the crowdfunding will be significant.

explanation appreciated .... I have to admit I've never heard of Redddit .... any program that draws such a large audience has to have a major impact .... I wonder if the haters will try to bombard the program

Good call. I'll see if I can revise that this evening. I'm really not sure what will happen to the data collected so far if I update anything on that page since I just shot it off onto a cloud server to save time instead of hosting it myself, so it may go down for a half hour or so while I load previous points back into it.

Reddit will be (as always) BRUTALITY honest about the whole thing, they are quite the collective of smart (and smart assed) people. So the questions will come up as far as it looking like a scam or vaperware, but the fact that there are real things happening will also come to light. Paul will come under the microscope there, but that being said I think it will be a positive, and there will be coverage of the coverage so there will be a net gain on people who will know who/what Elio is.

All done. I've also set a wide increment on the X axis so that it doesn't become overwhelming. To get an exact date and time, just hover over the chart and the timestamp and percentage will appear over the line where you're pointing.

just as a point that may interest some folks here :

the funding goal is listed as $50 million .... each time the graph goes up .01%, it indicates that another $5,000 has been pledged .... I find keeping that in mind while watching the graph go up helps me to better understand just how amazing the rise to date has been
