My apologies. The killer fund issue has been dealt with, and we're tackling another issue that has been preventing some pledges from going through. I understand the rationale to look at other sites that do crowdfunding. Fundfill is specifically focused on rewards and bounties, and therefore doesn't have a particular person who will automatically win the money, as kickstarter and indiegogo would. This is designed to encourage the the auditing of TrueCrypt. All problems with this have been on Fundfill's side, and the lack of previous funds is because we are currently in a pre-startup phase. I understand the concern about using a site that doesn't have thousands of users on a regular basis, but I ask your patience as today's experience is already improving the site for future use.

Sorry for the technical glitches. I'm too cynical, I guess: my first thought was that someone took advantage of the traffic spike and unilaterally directed it to a worthy cause.

Trust me, I understand the cynicism, and we deserve every critical comment we received here. The good news is we can only get better. :) After the experience of Arturas and the iphone touchid fake $10k pledge, we all have to be on alert when money and publicity are involved.
