With Paypal contributions coming online tomorrow, I'm curious what mechanism will be used to keep track of Paypal in relation to the fundraising total displayed on the Kickstarter page. From what I see, Kickstarter's documentation says that "[their] payment processor is Amazon" — full stop — so is there a box somewhere where the organizers of a Kickstarter can enter amounts of money received from bake sales, panhandling, "escort services," Paypal, or other outside means? Will we be able to see the contributions from Paypal in the displayed total, or will there just have to be periodic updates done manually (external to Kickstarter)? I apologize if this question has been addressed elsewhere, but I've read all the updates and searched the forum.

Not to burst your bubble… but, well, okay — to burst your bubble: Every time someone in the early bird tier increases their pledge, and thus their reward tier, it opens back up again. Last week I was the "very last" (I even used that same phrase) early bird, and mentioned it in a comment, only to have this pointed out to me. There have probably been a lot of us. We should form a club. It makes sense that this happens as people have a chance to think more about how much they like this project and want to see it succeed. I'm probably going to promote myself to another tier before the Kickstarter is over, and there can be another last early bird.
