Very interesting to let the world as well as your competitors to know what cash you have on hand. I am not aware of other candidates doing this.

Fred wants to cure McCain-Feingold(-Thompson) by having no contribution limits and full instant online disclosure. Actually, what Ron Paul's campaign is already doing but without a law to force them. Fred's campaign doesn't follow Fred's solution because they won't disclose amounts or donors in real time.

This tactic by the Paul campaign is part of what helps our online fundraising so much. I'm not sure that it would work for other candidates the way it does for the Paul campaign.

‘Second place is first loser.’ Knowing that you aren’t getting the donations that ‘even that one fringe guy with a third the poll numbers’ isn’t much of an incentive to share the information. The only incentive I can think of is, like you said, watching real-time increases in money raised could encourage others to give.
