$22.64 is indeed the total that's been donated to date. Unfortunately, the services I use to make the transactions with zero transaction fees (yay!) limit me to only donating amounts of $1.00 or more at a time, and since this project is pretty new there aren't enough users yet for that threshold to be crossed particularly quickly. (The good news is as the user base grows, that number will start growing at a much more noticeable pace, so anything you can do to spread the word would be tremendously appreciated.)
I'll definitely think about how to make this clearer in the next release, and I also really appreciate the feedback about setting a "default" charity to support. That's a great idea.
And good to hear that even the "faster" mode has a very low impact. That's exactly the goal here—helping a distributed computing project and using your computer normally shouldn't be mutually exclusive! Thanks for computing for humanity!
