I like this, but I feel like the money should go to charity with a transaction fee going to Beeminder.
Hi! Beeminder cofounder here. We do have a charity option but only in our most expensive premium plan. My own feeling is that a commitment contract with a charity as a beneficiary is less effective because what kind of jerk is motivated to avoid donating to charity? Unless you set the stakes so high that you can't really afford it, I guess?
Everyone has to start somewhere, right?
