For a little more information, there's also this donor list, which consists of my best effort at finding $1K+ donors over the last few years:
http://singinst.org/donors
If I missed anyone who donated and wanted to be on the list, please contact me at anissimov@intelligence.org. Making this list involved going over thousands of Paypal records over the past few years. (Necessary because all Summit payments are also intertwined with actual donations in the records, making it necessary to mentally filter out all payments that are obviously for the Summit.)
Zvi Mowshowitz! Wow color me surprised. Zvi is a retired professional magic player. I used to read his articles and follow his play. Small world.

Birthday paradox? Given a set of donor-list-readers and another set of donors, there's a better chance than one would expect that there's a commonality. :)
Come now, it's probably a different Zvi Mowshowitz.
Since the Zvi who posts here is indeed the same Zvi Mowshowitz he speaks of, it is close to certain that the one who donated the money is as well.
It is close to certain that ArisKatsaris was joking (imitating the format of an exchange where one person says something about, say, a political candidate named John Smith, and the other person says "Oh, John Smith, isn't that the guy who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry a few years ago?" and the first person says "I dunno, probably a different John Smith", while subverting it by (seemingly very confidently) applying it to a comparatively very uncommon name).
...wow, I entirely failed to pick up on that. >.<
Zvi is one of the leaders of the New York Less Wrong community, actually. Munchkinism generalizes.
I played Magic against Zvi using one of his own decks, and the deck won - I was there, but I wasn't involved.
I was just joking, as ata explained. Sorry for the confusion. :-)
Did he retire since last year?
That doesn't list the 1000 USD that I gave.
Can you email me your name so I can check our records, confirm the donation, and list it? Did you check the box that said "list my name"?
Ignore previous; I structured the contribution so that it would go under another human's name or be anonymous. Still, be it known that I gave 1000 USD, just ask User:Kevin or "Michael Vassar".
