#32great idea -- just looking forward to seeing transaction data, being able to include mins and maxes for donations, as well as split my donations to different causes!

#33My thoughts went like this: Enroll your credit/debit card today. OK yeah this is going to take some trust. It only takes a moment to sign up with Facebook. Oh wow I don't want them anywhere near my credit card.
Good point. We heard this before. Prob will have to change the signup process! Thx for the feedback :)
I'm not opposed to Facebook in general, they just haven't done much to build a trusting relationship lately.

#34Call me paranoid, but I am not brave enough to pass step1 in your registration, sorry! Although I even know one of the founders :)
Yeah me too. The thing that put me off was Facebook. I can't trust putting my credit card alongside my Facebook account.

Love the idea, I was about to sign up when I realized that it isn't done automatically, that's kind of a deal breaker for me. When you get the Yodlee integration send an email out :)
The problem is that Yodlee is very expensive to get started with financially, (not technically). The point is to get people excited about the project and to sign up now, to convince someone to foot the cost of yodlee and keep all the money flowing to charity.
I just posted about my project at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1783823. If you're interested please contact me.
