The Greek Bailout Fund campaign page is experiencing some issues due to its astonishing popularity. It should be back up shortly.
Follow us on Twitter and we'll let you know when it's back up.
Thank you for your patience!

Continuing at the same rate, it will take 3,000 days to reach 1 billion.
Edited to add: Weirdly, the amount has now dropped down to 874,356. Can people rescind pledges?
