It's alive. Alive! Adapteva reached their target; right now they are at $769,996 pledged with a $750,000 goal, which was cleared on october 27th between 2 and 3 am. Not sure what (US) timezone this refers to.

Did not delve into past performance of kickstarter projects, but comments from across the net seem to confirm rrreese's comment: "Backing is concentrated very heavily in the first three days and the last three.

Canhekickit states several todo's, of which aggregates and prediction would be especially useful.

Any comments on how the funding dynamic of future kickstarter/other crowdfunding projects would be affected if this data would be available?
