#12why can you put in negative numbers as the amount?
Good question, that's my oversight, got that sorted now.
Hi, I think the link to Firefox metamask should be https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ether-metamas...
Thank you for mentioning and supporting Mozilla Firefox!

#13Earlier quoted context omitted.
Hahhahaha my procrastination could have finally paid off!
It only allowed you to put negative number in UI box but that would have not made a valid Ethereum smart contract so it still wouldn't have worked. It made me scared for a second though!
Oh, good. That could have been really bad.

#14Like the one from Pieter Levels? https://gofuckingdoit.com/ https://levels.io/debriefing-go-fucking-do-it/
Exactly, "Go Fucking Do It" is the original concept and inspiration for this side-project. I informed him about what I am building. The only difference is that "Go Freaking Do It" is built on top of Ethereum blockchain and the funds are verifiably safe.

#16I don't like kill functions. If you have to trust that the owner won't just kill the contract in the middle of your goal it's not actually trustless.

#17>> and will keep the funds otherwise. If I'm possibly going to give my money away, why would I want to do this to some random contract, instead maybe a Charity or somewhere other than directly to the contract?
+1. I'd be fine giving the site a percentage as a cut, but would want to be able to designate an address for the primary portion of the funds.

#18> get an email emailed
I think this could be rewritten as "send an email".

It's easier to slack off on your goals if it feels like a noble thing to do.
Couldn't the smart contract literally "burn" the funds in case of failure?
Like transfer a small percentage to the owner as a fee for the service, then send the rest to a faulty address or contract setup to never be retrievable?

It is kind of awkward that a business that exists to help you get things done is paid whenever you fail.
This is effectively the business model of every health club out there. They lock you into a 1 year contract, knowing most people will not continue past the first or second month.
