If you hover your mouse over that orange donation thermometer, it tells you exactly what the progress towards the goal is.

I never knew that.

I agree with @btcprox that it should always be visible.

It's the "anti-Facebook" stance: The product is Hubski, not the users. It costs the community $x.xx to use this product.

I see it as validation/proof/promise that I am not being monetized, and that there is an Adult Understanding that this thing costs money.

The figure could still be made always visible though. The thermometer alone indicates nothing about the exact figures for the goal and raised amounts.

There is always something I didn't know about this place.

Me too. I see a trip to Portland in my future within the next 3 months. I'm gonna stop by your coffee shop. Without question.
