I always thought it would be an interesting gambling game where folks bid just like this site, but the prize is instead all of the previous bids.

So, if the bids are $1, $2, $3, $4, the $4 bid would win $10 (minus a % take for the house).

The more bids there are, the higher the return for the ultimate winner, so bids could get quite high once it gets going past the first 2 or 3 bids.

P.S. the profits will be donated to a charity organization

Is the charity organization called "My Bank Account"? Also, what do you mean by "profits". What are the expenses? After reading about hollywood accounting, I'm always suspicious about "profit".

Good idea, but there is just no way I will put my card on random website, even though it's sent to Stripe :)

When exactly?

As far as I can tell this is a never-ending contest, so are you donating the proceeds to charity on a rolling basis as soon as you receive them?

And are you donating 100% to charity, or using a portion to pay for the website/server/bandwidth/development costs?
