These things may have been discussed already, but these are initial thoughts from friends looking at the system; ie theoretical potential patrons.
1)It will make the average person nervous to not see a very clear representation of what they are going to be paying total. This relates to the other discussion we were having; regardless of whether or not it gives people the impression that this is a "great bargain" or whatever, people need to see a very clear presentation of what they will be called on to pay or they will be very nervous about signing on at all. 2)As more people sign on to the system, shouldn't the average pledge rate go down? If you originally sign on at $1 per 5000 people, but then 60000 sign on, you don't each need to be paying $12- each person can be paying much less than the original $1 per 5000, and the collective result will still be enormous. 3)We should have an option for automatic withdrawal directly from a bank account. The "snowdrift account" is a great buffer to help some people feel comfortable, but other people are going to say "I don't want to have to keep thinking about depositing funds or be reminded of it; I believe in this enough to just commit to it being directly withdrawn.
