I'll share my impressions since you asked:

* Give $10 or $250 - no options in-between
* No T-shirts, no stickers
* 6 months shared SSH-access for 250$?
* Absurd amount of information to digest in every update (even for me)

Setting up a smaller goal, usable rewards and easier-to-digest updates
would have helped a lot. Now this only looks like another failed
out-of-touch-with-reality project.

As it is, I didn't even contribute $10 as I had the distinct impression
the project would fail. How can I ever advocate this?

I have given / donated generously to many Free software projects and
organizations (including the FSF) and have often convinced others to do
so (even refering new people to join
http://www.fsf.org/associate/referrers/referrerlist ) but honestly Talos
was outside of anything I could refer, in any way.
