Hinode is raising a year

The campaign

Nothing has to be reached and there is no deadline. Your card is charged when you back, and the credit is on your account the same minute. The offer stays open until at least $120,000, and closes once it stops moving.

What an hour costs after backing

We sell it cheaper because money now is worth more to a company this size than money at the end of the month. That is the whole trade, and it is why the rate is lower than anything we could ever discount an invoice by.

Every rate here is the invoice rate less your discount. Nothing else changes — the meter, the spend cap and the bill work exactly as they do today.
