Can someone please answer my question at the end of last page?
Also, how long will this be avaliable for?
"English doesn't so much borrow words from other languages as follows them into a dark alley, hits them over the head and goes through their pockets for loose vocabulary."
Paying in dollars won't make a difference. They convert whatever your base currency is on Paypal to whatever the site accepts as payment. Once you start the payment via Paypal, it will show you what their conversion rate is for whatever amount you are spending. If you want, grab a free currency converter/refer to a conversion table for the amount it will equal.
Ah okay, thanks!
Also, whats the minimum you can buy this for? I won't pay 1 pence of course (even if it's possible) but im curious as to this 'pay what you want' system, as I can imagine a lot of people kind of cheating it by paying the minimum if they can, yet putting in a minimum that isn't really low would kind of defeat the purpose anyway.

You can pay 1p/1c if you wish. Plenty of people have done it in the past. In order to receive Steam keys for the games you have to pay a $1 minimum.
So yes, there are plenty of cheapskates out there who basically 'steal' free games when this goes up. In fact, early Bundles had data that even though they removed DRM (classic excuse for piracy) and offered the game for as low as practically nothing, people still stole it via torrents and bypassing the payment screen to go straight to the downloads through some internet flim flam.
It proves the best of humanity and the worst in the same experiment. If it wasn't so awesome for the developers, charities, and honest customers I'd say it was pathetic. Fortunately enough wealthy people show up to support these things so that their impact is much greater than it could be.
With that being said, this was my first purchase and it felt pretty good. In fact, I feel like I didn't pay enough money so I might by a second set at a higher rate for my wife because of how honest and transparent the system is. Not to mention the charitable contribution. The idea of being able to decide exactly who gets how much of your money is a great system that should be used more often.
I feel like I have missed out severely by not buying all of the ones before now.

There are a few others I've come across, but Humble Bundle and Indie Royal are consistently the best. And Groupee's is pretty good too. They do other stuff than just games.

It was bad enough to just go nuts when Steam sales hit...now I feel like some crazy binge mall addict, but for internet digital goods. Woe is me. Why do we not have a mega thread sticky that lists all of the available sites like this that updates when a sale starts and lists what is offered?
Do it Edge...break my wallet.
