Wow my two altcoin mining pool websites are worth $200 combined. 
Oh dude, let's do some math. The first donator tier is 10BTC, the second is 50BTC.
Let's say each of them have 50 people.
50 x 50 = 2,500
50 x 10 = 500
Donations together equals 3,000BTC. 3,000BTC is currently $1,694,000 USD!
They pull in $1,099,260 USD per month. And $13,191,120 USD per year.
Where the hell is all of that money going? No, where is the money, exactly?
(Not to imagine the shitload they want for advertising.)
