Watching the bar on the GnuPG homepage is pretty encouraging. Since the article was written, we've donated nearly €30k more. It looks like the problem was that people hadn't heard about it, not that we're all too selfish to donate.

I just chipped in $25.

Edit: Over €10k more in the hour since this comment. It's now 2/3 of the way to the funding target.

This was posted on HN 2 months before I donated £50 at that time so i wouldn't say it didn't get enough exposure.

It's just that it takes a lot of media attention to get you to your goal plus a lot of the donations a coming from regular developer who understand the importance of this instead of the big companies profiting from this software.

It still progresses, now (21:47 UTC) only 12% left to the target.

Target exceeded, and I don't think this even includes the EUR 100k from Stripe & Facebook.
