The only number I'm writing down is the total funding amount so far at each
interval, I'm not writing anything down about individual users. I feel like
anything more than just looking at the total would be kind of sketchy. I
ran some analysis and out of all of the 90 second periods, the most amount
of contribution that the project received was $18,432 total during one 90
second interval. The average so far has been about $2,607 per 90 second
interval.
