Generosity Campaign Update - Day 2
Well what a day it has been !!
Ok, maybe a bit slower than anticipated, but I think the idea to "spend money to support a content creator" is still sinking in... or maybe it is just sinking......Haha !!
Here are the stats so far...
After 24 hours, there were 43 people who paid a visit to see what this campaign was about, and I am pretty sure they ran out the virtual door to get their check books.... I eagerly await their return :)
Ok - so in total, after counting all the bills and all the change,
My total earnings for my entire site for that day when you include advertisements was: $0.02
So from my calculations, the number of days until I will be able to afford an Oscilloscope, not accounting for inflation, and also assuming the price of the Oscilloscope will remain the same is:
That time-frame is a bit hard to comprehend, so re-adjusting the calculation to years, I get this:
Ok - this is a bit slow... but the campaign is just warming up :)
But what if no-one does???
That is ok...
I will just have to keep working harder to improve the quality of my tutorials, and have confidence in myself.
In fact I was very hesitant to put this campaign up. I did not know how well it would be received.
However, I wanted to go through the experience, to understand how the Generosity.com system worked.
And now if people feel inclined to provide a tip for my work, they are FREE to do so.
And you know what that tip will be spent on... yes - you guessed it..
I am not sure if anyone will read this page... or will even get down to this line on this page... but if you do... feel free to say hello in the comments - or recommend a good DSO to buy....Bear in mind though, it has to be a good brand/product -
Hope you have a great day !!
24 hours since the personal campaign to acquire
a Digital Storage Oscilloscope was launched...
and it looks like everything is on track.

I still believe that somewhere in the world
someone will appreciate my work enough to
donate one dollar (or more)....
But what if no-one does???
That is ok...
I will still provide Arduino tutorials for FREE.
I will just have to keep working harder to improve the quality of my tutorials, and have confidence in myself.
