Makes sense! We’re just worried about cluttering up the goal page so let’s sit tight on this and see if it gets more upvotes…

I get the sentiment but, honestly, I think that my money going to charity would lessen the sting. I get a good feeling when I donate to a worthy cause. Going off the YBR should not be associated with any good feelings, in my opinion.
What I could see Beeminder doing, however, to look a bit less "greedy" (not that I see them that way) is something like this: Determine what they see as a reasonable salary for founders/developers/staff, then promise to donate 50% of all earnings beyond their base salaries. The other 50% would be bonus money distributed among themselves. That way they can make a living, there's no ceiling on their potential earnings, people can see Beeminder as a generous company, and any money I lose to failed contracts is fairly well separated from any good feelings I might have from donating to charity.
I like this. Perhaps set a cap on the length of time before committing, such as the ability to make immediate changes to a goal within the first seven days?
