I’m jealous that you’re popular enough to be able to probably succeed in this.

Don’t be so sure. I’m really not that popular and 32,000 nickels is a lot of nickels. If it succeeds, it’ll probably take me a while.

James: They only skim off the top if you have a “Premier” or “Business” account. This is a brand new “Personal” account I’ve opened for just this purpose (and PayPal does allow an individual to have one personal account and one business account, so I’m not violating any rules having two accounts). The downside of keeping it a “Personal” account is that I can’t use the API and I can’t take credit cards. This is why I specified that you must have a PayPal account with a positive balance in order to donate.
