MIRI did not win the 250k in upgrades. However, ~ 110k was raised total that day with ~50k worth of donations, and 21/24 2000 dollar golden tickets were picked up by them, which is pretty damn good. The group cooperation strategy was quite effective. Examine the sidebar on the left of this page. http://svgives.razoo.com/giving_events/svg14/home
As you likely already know, there is a one-day only fundraiser for MIRI going on tonight. 1 hour left, or less on the clock.

And, "$250K in Microsoft in-kind giving is available for the organization which gets the most unique donors, which won't literally be worth $250K to us but includes hardware, software and consulting services; plus the publicity of winning this major competition among charities. This is one of the most leveraged chances to give $10 that you'll probably ever encounter ever." -Yudkowsky
So, a 250k opportunity is on the line, under an hour is left, we are in second place, and it only takes a 10 dollar donation to be registered as a unique donor (if you haven't donated already).
So let's do this. In the last 10 minutes before midnight, donate once. And if possible, persuade people around you to donate once.
