Dying? At $612K of $750K raised with 31 hours to go? Is there something I don't understand there?

EDIT: Realizing that mods might change the title at any time, it is right now "Parallella: A Supercomputer For Everyone is Dying"

With 31 hours to go. If they don't raise $138,000 in 31 hours they get squat.

The title suggests they get nothing if they don't raise the $750,000 target, which is true.

Nearly $618k as of 16 minutes after your post...

EDIT: $624,602 44 minutes after your post.... I'm getting more optimistic.

According to kicktraq, they're indeed trending towards not making it (trending to 651k, 86% of goal):

They only have 31 hours left to raise the rest of the money. Considering they fact that they took several weeks to reach this point it seems unlikely that they will hit the goal, and therefore they will not secure any of the pledged funds.

It slowed down for a long time, but it's sped up again the last few days, and in less than the last 20 minutes they've gotten another $6k. It's going to be close either way it seems.
