Yeah, they are going down fast. I heard the $25 maximum was reinstated.

What max? I gave $100 to one lady the other day. When did this happen and why?  Huh?

When Kiva suspect an onslaught, they restrict the amount of money a person can invest in a single loan to $25. Once the busy time is over (say... tomorrow or so), they release that restriction again and you can bid as much as you wnat on a single loan. That way they pace themselves a little bit when the number of open loans is shrinking...

--Ramón

148 and counting @ 10:40 EDT
Correction: make that 139 @ 10:50 EDT


BTW: did you see the number of people on Kivafriends? 349 at this moment! That also is breaking ALL RECORDS
WELCOME EVERYONE !!
