DPL has been mostly unsuccessful at raising money for the cause. I did receive some generous donations, but clearly insufficient. I guess this failure is not very surprising to anyone, since I could just be another scam. Hell, I probably wouldn't donate to such an unreputable identity. I hope that the DPL listed persons will meet their due treatment, to the benefit of the societies that they supposedly represent. Due to the (understandable) lack of funding this DPL will not play a role in this. I hope that other people with more resources will bankroll the first successful prediction, after which credibility should not be an issue anymore. The remaining funds will be tumbled and directed to a charity. David wasn't able to defeat goliath this time. Goodbye.
Sad to see this go. Judging by some of the comments on /r/onions, I think most of the community didn't quite get it, and saw your project as less of a political tool and more like something akin to sports betting. Subtlety is a dead art. Now crowd funding is a main-stream thing, I think you have to look at other successful crowd funded campaigns and platforms to see what works and what doesn't. People are more likely to give to individual campaigns rather than general causes, I think DPL may have been a bit too open-ended. I took a stab at something similar but it never got very far off the ground, but perhaps you'd want to talk about picking the pieces up? From my side-project graveyard: https://github.com/Miserlou/HitStarter Also.. does UnfriendlySolution <http://lw4ipk5choakk5ze.onion/raw/5432/>count as a charity?
