Elio Crowdfunding

[Ekh]

8:05 pm back up to $22,854,599 from 6,083 pledges. Yeah, AJ, we've been slowed to a crawl. I think your right, the interference last week has scared a number of people away.

I'm going to let this play till maybe the last minute. We have 11 - 12 more days and SE seems to have a handle on things. I'm not as worried as I am disappointed in my fellow man. Naw, I'm pissed, but still I think the goal will be met.

Ever think that being the weekend might have a little to do with the crawl?

I do, most people don't want to deal with "the real world" at least once or twice a week; almost all businesses are closed on Sunday also.

Might I suggest waiting till mid week (or at least Tuesday) to check stats?

and It's a goal, not a requirement.Just like 84 MPG. We always try to achieve our goals but sometimes settle for close enough.

 

[AJ Maxey]

I'm willing to reserve another 10% if I could get a lot of people to join...

I don't understand Jambe; close to your reservation number how?

For no particular reason I was trying to match my reservation number (6100) with investor number which was at 6079. I think I was a bit too early.
Can I check to see what investor number I actually ended up with?

My hope is that this plus the P5 will get the DOE off their asses.

Agree.
